Disposal

Cardboard box and packaging
You have opted for a durable and technically sophisticated product. In line with national regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, we pay a fee to authorised recyclers who collect packaging from dealers. However, we recommend that you keep the original cardboard box and the rest of the packaging materials so that the unit can, if necessary, be transported in the safest possible conditions.

The unit

The EU Directive 2002/96/EG governs the proper re-acceptance, handling and recycling of used electronic appliances.
Old electronic appliances must therefore be disposed of separately. Never throw this set in the normal domestic waste. You can hand in your old set free of charge at identifi ed collection points or at your dealer if you buy a similar new set. Other details about re-acceptance (also for non-EU countries) are available from your local administration.

Cleaning

It is possible that the packaging material may leave marks on the surface of the fl oor-standing speaker. This does not mean that the surface has been damaged. These marks can be easily removed using water mixed with a little washing-up liquid and applied using a soft cloth (e.g. microfi bre).

Clean the surface of the aluminum Reference Sound loudspeaker system with a damp, soft, clean cloth (without aggressive cleaning agents).

Because of electrostatic charge dust may sellte on the speaker grille. You can gently suck it with a vacuum cleaner, if necessary.

For your safety

For your safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your TV set, please read and observe the following safety instructions:

Your Reference Sound Standspeaker Slim system is designed exclusively for playing audio signals.

Never operate the Reference Sound Standspeaker Slim system unsupervi-sed. Pull the power adapter out the mains socket during longer periods of absence.

Damp, moisture, rain, splashing water or dew
Knocks and mechanical stresses
Magnetic and electrical fi elds
Higher electrical powers than specifi ed
Cold, heat, direct sunlight and extreme temperature variations
Dust
Covering which obstructs air circulation – especially the rear
Manipulations inside the set

Do not place objects containing liquids on top of the unit.
Candles and other open flames must be kept away from the unit at all times to prevent the spread of fire.

Do not pierce the fabric cover of the electrostatic membrane with sharp objects.

Your Reference Sound Standspeaker Slim system was designed exclusively for private use in a domestic environment. The warranty conditions only cover this intended use.

TO RULE OUT DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, NEVER REMOVE THE COVERS. THERE ARE NO PARTS INSIDE THE HOUSING WHICH CAN BE REPAIRED BY THE USER. HAVE REPAIRS DONE ONLY BY YOUR LOEWE DEALER.

Do not switch on until it has reached room temperature. This avoids seriously damaging the components.

Setting up

Installing the Reference Sound Standspeaker Slim system

Basic information

THE ALUMINIUM SURFACE OF THE REFERENCE SOUND STANDSPEAKER SLIM IS VERY SENSITIVE TO SCRATCHING AND IMPACT. AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH SHARP OBJECTS. DO NOT PLACE VASES, CANDLES OR OTHER OBJECTS ON TOP OF THE UNIT.

DO NOT CONNECT THE REFERENCE SOUND STANDSPEAKER SLIM TO AN AMPLIFIER OUTPUT, WHICH EMITS FREQUENCIES ≤150 HZ, IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE LOUDSPEAKER.

Place the speaker on a fi rm, level base.
Please note, that the speakers consist of a right and left unit. A mark is on the product label at the base of each unit.
Do not place the speakers near to strong sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
Pull out the power adapter during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by lightning strikes can damage the unit.
Also remove the power adapter in long periods of absence.
The power adapter set must be easily accessible so that the unit 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 fi re risk and must therefore be changed by qualifi ed service personnel before operation of the set continues.

Optimum arrangement

Please note, that due to the the operating principle of the Reference Sound Standspeaker Slim, the sound is emitted on the front and rear side.
It is useful if the distance from the walls (to the rear as well as left and right) is about equal, so that the sound distribution into the room may be optimal.

In addition, the sound emission is directional.
It is therefore recommended to arrange the speaker in a way, that they face into your preferred listening position.

Suggestion for Surround Sound positioning solution (L27xx/SL1xx)

Connecting the speakers to the audio source

Connect the speaker wires on the bottom of the speaker. One of the two wires of the speaker cable is marked black. Connect this black wire with the black screw on your amplifi er or audio output, and the black terminal on the loudspeaker.
Therefore turn the screw counterclockwise a few turns on. Run the wire end into the screw and tighten the screw clockwise. Connect the unmarked wires with the red terminals.
Connecting the speakers to the audio source

Connecting the subwoofer to the mains

Insert the plug at the end of the cable into the power jack at the bottom of the speaker.
Plug the power adapter of the two speakers in one outlet with 220 - 240 V 50/60 Hz AC.
