Setting up

Installing the subwoofer and satellite
speakers

Basic information

• Place subwoofer, standing speaker and satellite speakers with stand on a
À rm, level base.
• Do not place the subwoofers and speakers near to strong sources of heat or
in direct sunlight.
• When installing in a cabinet or closed shelf: Leave about 2.5 cm free around
the subwoofer to allow unobstructed air circulation to avoid build-up of heat
and sound pressure.
• Pull out the power cable during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by
lightning strikes can damage the TV through the antenna system and the
mains.
• Also remove the antenna and mains plugs in long periods of absence.
• The power plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the TV can be
disconnected from the power supply at all times.
• Lay the speaker and power cables in such a way that they cannot be dama-
ged. The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood
on and not exposed to chemicals; the latter also applies to the system as a
whole. A power cable with damaged insulation can lead to electric shocks
and is a À re risk and must therefore be changed by qualiÀ ed service personnel
before operation of the set continues.
• When removing the power plug, pull the plug housing and not the cable. The
wires in the plug could be damaged and cause a short circuit the next time it
is plugged in.
• The speakers generate magnetic dispersion À elds which act in the vicinity of
the housing. We recommend a minimum distance of > 0.5 m from magneti-
cally sensitive equipment such as CRT-TV sets, magnetic data media etc.

Satellite loudspeakers

The satellite speakers should all be positioned at ear height, i.e. about 1 m
above the Á oor.
Use the stands or wall holders available as accessories or place the speakers at
the appropriate height on pieces of furniture or on shelves.
For the best possible listening experience, the front and surround speakers
should be placed symmetrically to the TV set and your sitting position – see the
illustrations overleaf.
If this is not possible, correct the distance and level of the speakers with the
speaker conÀ guration menu of the preceiver or AV receiver.

Subwoofer

You can position the subwoofer anywhere on the Á oor. We recommend you to
place it in one of the front corners of the room so that the bass signals radiate
freely.
The subwoofer speaker can be placed in three different positions:
1. Lying on the Á oor.
2. Standing on the Á oor.
To do this, mount the 4 self-adhesive feet provided on the left-hand side
of the speaker. Mount the (optional) speaker cover to protect the speaker
(available from your dealer) if necessary.
3. In the Loewe Cube i.
The 4 device feet must be removed and the 4 enclosed self-adhesive feet
must be mounted on the bottom of the speaker instead. Make sure that the
speaker is positioned exactly over the sound opening in the rack.
Important: Never obstruct the air vents on the back of the subwoofer. Makes
sure it is far enough away (> 4 cm) from the Á oor or wall.
Please reduce the volume of the subwoofer during a recording with a DVD
recorder positioned in the rack, to ensure the recording is successful.
