Equalisation
Before familiarising yourself with the other func-
tions of the device, it is necessary to set the vol-
ume relationships of the five satellite speakers
and the bass channel for the bass speaker.
To do this, switch on the device using the "Power"
switch at the rear.
Pressing the "Standby" button on the front op-
erating panel, or pressing the "Power" button on
the remote control will put the subwoofer into
standby mode. Make sure that signal-emitting de-
vices, such as DVD players, are not active.
Increase the overall volume of the set to »70 dB«
using the central »Volume+« button on the re-
mote control u . This sets a kind of reference
level. Make sure you are in the best possible and
most central place for listening. Press the »Test«
{ button. This activates a test tone that runs
through the five satellites and the subwoofer in
sequence. Now you can increase or decrease the
level on the remote control for the centre, the
two rear speakers and the subwoofer to the posi-
tions r and p on the remote control until the
volume of these four speakers corresponds to the
volume of the two front speakers.
Equalisation by ear takes a few attempts and does
not always immediately provide perfect results.
For perfect equalisation of the speakers we rec-
ommend using a volume level measuring device,
available in the Teufel shop. This device will last
a lifetime and allows you to make far more pre-
cise settings than by ear. Bass levels in particular
are often set too loud – exact adjustment is only
guaranteed using a measuring device.
The volume setting of the subwoofer may be
slightly different when playing back music com-
pared with home cinema sound, depending on
the recording quality and mixing. While high bass
levels often dominate in effect-rich DVDs, the de-
sired level may not be heard during music play-

for optimal DVD playback). Your personal taste is
