Important Safety Precautions

Please read this manual carefully before using the device. Observe all warnings and instructions.

General Warnings

• Observe all warning symbols on the device, accessories, and in this manual.

Environmental Conditions

• Heat Exposure: Operate only in temperatures between 10°C and 45°C. Keep away from heat sources (heaters, ovens, flames). Maintain a minimum 10 cm distance from amplifiers. Ensure adequate ventilation; do not cover the device. Keep at least 20 cm distance from walls.
• Moisture: Do not expose to dripping or splash water. Do not use as a stand for liquids. Avoid water and high humidity to prevent electric shock. Unplug immediately if contact with moisture or liquids occurs.
• Foreign Material: Prevent foreign objects from entering openings to avoid short circuits, electric shock, or fire.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth only. Do not use cleaning agents, sprays, or chemical solvents.

Electrical Safety

• Electrical Connection: Ensure voltage and frequency match the device's specifications. Use only the provided or manufacturer-approved mains adapter.
• Lightning Protection: Disconnect from mains during prolonged non-use or thunderstorms to prevent damage from lightning and overvoltage.
• Mains Cable: Ensure the cable is in good condition, laid safely to prevent tripping, and not pinched. Avoid kinks at the socket. Do not handle with damp hands. The mains plug serves as the disconnect device and must remain accessible.
• Overload: Do not overload sockets, power strips, or extension cables to prevent electric shock and fire.

Setup and Handling

• Setup: Position on a solid, level surface. Do not mount on moving bases to avoid injury. Use only original accessories.
• Battery Safety: The remote control contains a button cell battery (CR2025). Do not swallow; ingestion can cause severe internal burns and death. Keep batteries away from children. Ensure the battery compartment is secure. Seek immediate medical attention if a battery is swallowed.
• Damage Requiring Specialist Repair: Disconnect from mains and contact a qualified technician if the mains cable/plug is damaged, moisture/liquids enter the device, the device is dropped and damaged, or the device malfunctions despite following instructions.

Disposal

• Dispose of electrical and electronic equipment at local collection points according to European Directive 2012/19/EU. Do not dispose of with household waste.
• Dispose of used batteries as hazardous waste according to regulations.

Unpacking the Device

Setting Up the Speaker

Position the Sounddeck centered directly under your screen. The housing is designed to support the weight of small to medium TVs or monitors. If the screen is on a shelf, place the Sounddeck underneath. For wall-mounted TVs, position the Sounddeck directly in front of and below the TV. A solid, level surface is crucial for the subwoofer's optimal function.

System Installation

Connecting a Television

The Sounddeck 160 is designed for direct connection to a TV. Three connection options are available:

• HDMI/ARC: Connect to the TV's HDMI/ARC port (supports Audio Return Channel, HDMI 2.0). If your TV supports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), basic functions (power, volume, mute) can be controlled via the TV remote. CEC functionality varies by TV model; consult your TV's manual. CEC is only available via HDMI. Dolby Digital signals can be reproduced. HDMI cable not included.
• Optical Digital IN: Connect the TV's digital audio output to the Sounddeck's DIGITAL IN port using the supplied optical cable. Dolby Digital signals can be reproduced.
• AUX IN: Connect the TV's audio output to the Sounddeck's AUX IN port using the supplied audio cable. Prefer a fixed-level audio output if available.

Connecting Other Devices

• Bluetooth Audio Source: Switch the Sounddeck to Bluetooth mode via remote. It will attempt to reconnect to previously paired devices. If no previous pairing exists or reconnection fails, it enters pairing mode automatically. Manually activate pairing mode using the BT PAIR button on the remote. The device will appear as "Sounddeck 160" in your source device's Bluetooth list. If not found, manually search for Bluetooth devices. Pairing may require a password (default: "0000" or "1234"). The Sounddeck supports the aptX audio transmission standard for high-quality audio.
• Analog or Digital Audio Source: Connect CD players, MP3 players, satellite receivers, etc., to the AUX IN or DIGITAL IN ports.
• USB Memory Device: Connect a FAT-formatted USB drive (MP3/WMA files) to the USB port for playback. Control playback using remote buttons. Note: Compatibility with all USB devices and files is not guaranteed. DRM-protected files are not supported. USB power output: 5V=/1A.

Connecting the Power Supply

Insert the 2-pin mains cable into the socket on the Sounddeck amplifier, then plug into a compatible wall socket. Ensure the plug is appropriate for your country's sockets.
