SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Connecting a television (fig. 1):
The SOUNDDECK 200 is designed to be connected directly to a TV. It can be connected in three different ways:
a) Connecting the TV to the HDMI® port HDMI1/ARC (4):
Connect your TV to this port if it has an HDMI® socket with ARC functionality (Audio Return Channel, HDMI® 1.4 standard).
If the HDMI® port on your TV also supports CEC functionality (Consumer Electronics Control), then basic functions of the
sound deck such as switching on/off, volume and mute can be controlled via your TV's remote control. The CEC functions
that are available vary from TV to TV and should be checked in each individual case. Please refer to the operating instructions
supplied with your TV for further information. Most manufacturers have their own name for the CEC function, however, most
end in the term „Link". Note: for reasons of a technical nature the CEC function is only available via HDMI® ports.
These functions may need to be activated in the TV's settings. Dolby® Digital- and DTS®-encoded signals can also be
reproduced via the built-in Dolby® and DTS® decoders. The necessary connecting cable is not included in delivery.
b) Connecting the TV to the DIGITAL INPUT (2):
Use the supplied optical cable (F) and connect the digital audio output of your TV to the audio input DIGITAL INPUT (2) of the
sound deck. Dolby® Digital- and DTS®-encoded signals can also be reproduced via the built-in Dolby® and DTS® decoders. The
necessary connecting cable is not included in delivery.
c) Connecting the TV to audio input ANALOG INPUT (3):
Use the supplied audio cable (E) and connect the audio output on your TV to audio input ANALOG INPUT (3). If your TV has an
audio output with fixed level, this is preferable to the audio output with variable level.
If your TV is equipped with a 3.5 mm audio output jack (e.g. headphone socket), you can use the supplied adapter (D).
Connecting additional devices to the SOUNDDECK 200 (fig. 2)
Connecting the device to a Bluetooth audio source:
Use the remote control to switch the sound deck to the Bluetooth mode. If you have previously connected a Bluetooth device,
the sound deck will automatically attempt to re-establish a connection with this device. If this is the case, you may be required to
manually reconfirm the connection on the source device. The connection can be resumed from a previously paired source device
at any time, as the Bluetooth function continues to operate in the background regardless of the input selected on the sound deck,
and it is only switched off completely when the standby mode is selected.
If a connection has not already been made or the connection cannot be re-established, the sound deck will automatically activate
the ‚pairing mode'. To switch the sound deck to the pairing mode manually, press and hold the BT button (Fig. 4, (17)) on the
remote control. The button symbol D of the input select button will flash blue when the pairing mode is active.
Now activate the Bluetooth mode on your source device. The sound deck will appear in the list of Bluetooth devices as „SOUNDDECK
200". If it is not displayed in the list, set your source device to search for Bluetooth devices manually and make sure that the
sound deck has been switched to the pairing mode.
Depending on the source device, you may be asked whether the password is to be accepted during the pairing procedure. You can
confirm this by simply pressing „Accept". If you are still asked for a password, use the default passwords „0000" or „1234". If you
are asked if you want to establish a connection after pairing, please select „Yes". When the device has been paired and connected
successfully the blue LED status indicator will illuminate continuously.
The sound deck supports the „aptX®" high quality audio transmission standard. If your source device also supports this standard,
„aptX®" will be selected automatically as the transfer mode when establishing a Bluetooth connection.
Connecting an analogue or digital audio source to the soundbar:
Additional audio sources such as CD players, MP3 players and satellite receivers can also be connected to the ANALOG INPUT
(3) and to the DIGITAL INPUT (2) on the sound deck. When doing this proceed as described in the previous section.
Connecting an audio/video source to the HDMI® input HDMI 2 (5):
An audio/video device (e.g. DVD/Blu-ray player or games console) can be connected to this input. The audio signal is
reproduced by the sound deck. Dolby® Digital-encoded signals can also be reproduced via the built-in Dolby® decoder. The
video signal is output to the TV via the HDMI 1 port. To do this, connect the HDMI 1 socket (4) to an HDMI® input on the TV.
