Set Up Your Device

Set up your BeoLab 19 subwoofer wirelessly or with cables. Ensure that the subwoofer is positioned, set up and connected in accordance with the instructions in this guide. You may also contact your retailer regarding installation.

1. When handling your subwoofer make sure to place it on a soft cloth or the like to avoid making marks on the subwoofer. Do not hold by or place the subwoofer on the front or back.
   
2. Set up your audio/video product wirelessly with the BeoLab 19 subwoofer. See the guide enclosed with your transmitter device, for example BeoLab Transmitter 1, for information about how to connect the transmitter device, your audio/video product and your subwoofer. Set the WIRED/WIRELESS switch to WIRELESS.
   
3. If you choose a cabled setup, you can use Power Link or line-in cables for connection between BeoLab 19 and your audio/video product. Set the WIRED/WIRELESS switch to WIRED and the L, R, L+R (left-right) switch according to how the subwoofer is connected to the product, see also 9. A splitter can be used if all Power Link sockets are occupied on the connected product.
   
4. POS.: Set the position switch according to whether your subwoofer is placed close to a wall, a corner or in a free-standing position.
   
5. Socket and switch panel.
   RESET: To reset the wireless setting of the subwoofer, press and hold the button for a few seconds until the status indicator starts to flash green quickly. The subwoofer is now in associate mode and ready to be connected to the wireless Power Link device.
   
   SERVICE: For service use only.
6. GAIN: Adjusts the output level of the 6 BeoLab 19 compared to the main speakers. When Beolab 19 is connected to a Bang & Olufsen TV, there is no need to adjust gain. When connected to non-Bang & Olufsen products, you may have to adjust gain.
   
7. LP FILTER (low pass filter): Aligns the frequency areas in BeoLab 19 and the speakers. When the switch is set to ON, the knob can be turned to obtain lower or higher frequency. When BeoLab 19 is connected to a surround sound system, there is no need to adjust the LP filter. When BeoLab 19 is connected to a Bang & Olufsen audio system, the LP filter should be switched on and adjusted to a position between 40 and 80 which suits most Bang & Olufsen Power Link speakers. Generally, the setting of the LP FILTER is dependent on the size of the main speakers. This means that a larger speaker requires a lower setting, whereas a smaller speaker requires a higher setting. When you connect BeoLab 19 to non-Bang & Olufsen products, you should listen to music from the subwoofer and loudspeakers to determine if the LP FILTER should be adjusted.
   
8. PHASE: You may adjust the PHASE if the sound from the speakers and subwoofer does not seem to be synchronised. If your subwoofer is in line with your front speakers, then set the subwoofer PHASE switch to 0. If your subwoofer is located anywhere else then try the phase switch in both positions and set it to the position that produces the strongest bass at your listening position. If you notice no di erence at all, set the switch to 0.
   
9. L, R, L+R (left-right switch): Set the switch according to the connection you have made to the audio or video product. Bang & Olufsen televisions can send signals to the BeoLab 19 via either the left (L) or right (R) channel. This is set up in the television menus and the switch should be set accordingly. Usually when connecting to an audio system, the L+R position should be used.
   
10. Secure the mains cable with the holders either to the left or the right as illustrated. The connection cable can run under the holder together with the mains cable.
    
11. Product status and wireless indicator:
    

• Red (solid): The indicator is solid red for some seconds when the subwoofer is connected to the mains or switches o.
• Green (solid): The indicator is solid green for some seconds when the subwoofer switches on.
• Green (flashing slowly): A software update is in progress, during which the subwoofer cannot play. Do not disconnect from the mains.
• Green (flashing quickly): If you have a wireless Power Link device in your setup, the speaker is in associate mode and ready to be connected to the device.
• Orange (solid): The signal strength for a wireless connection is low.
• Orange (flashing slowly): The product is overheated and turns down the volume.
• Orange (flashing quickly): An error has occured. Disconnect the subwoofer from the mains and reconnect it or reset the network connection, if you have a wireless Power Link device. If the problem persists, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer.
