Box content

Leave the subwoofer in the box when you connect the cables. The box may contain several mains cords. You only need one mains cord for setup.

Technical specifications, features and the use thereof are subject to change without notice.

How to use

After deciding where to place the satellites and subwoofer, run the cables from each satellite to the subwoofer. Then, run the relevant cables from the subwoofer to the Connection Hub.

Connection Hub

IR learning

The Connection Hub enables IR learning for three commands (volume up, volume down and mute) from a non-B&O TV remote control. The B&O TV remote control does not support IR learning for this Connection Hub. To perform IR learning, always point your remote control to the front of the product. First switch on the Connection Hub and long press the multi button. The indicator flashes orange, indicating that the Connection Hub is ready to receive an IR command. Then press the volume up button on the remote control, and the indicator flashes once when it receives the IR command. Repeat these steps more than three times. If the command is successfully programmed, the indicator turns solid green for two seconds and then flashes orange to wait for the next IR command (volume down and then mute). When all three IR commands are programmed, the indicator turns solid green for two seconds and then solid white. If any command fails during programming, the indicator turns solid red for two seconds and then flashes orange to indicate it is waiting for an IR command.

Use the correct size and type of screws and wall anchors – taking into account the construction and condition of the wall. Use 4 flat-bottom head screws (ø 4 mm – 0.16") and wall anchors with a minimum load rating of 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs).
Special notice about gypsum and light partition walls If you intend to hang the product on a gypsum wall (i.e., a drywall or wallboard), the wall bracket must be fastened to a vertical stud. Mounting was evaluated for use on a drywall surface. Use 2 flat-bottom head screws (ø 4 mm – 0.16") to penetrate the gypsum. Screw in to a vertical stud a minimum of 25 mm (1"). Fix two additional screws that are suitable for gypsum walls.
