The AEG SLS 4712 5.1 speaker system includes a subwoofer and 5 identical in appearance to speakers, which differ only in the cable length. The cable provided for the center speaker is ca.1,70m, the cable from the front speakers are approximately 2.50 m and the rear speakers are ca.4,50m long. Furthermore, the set includes 3 identical RCA cable (length: ca.1,40m) for the transmission of sound from the source (typically a DVD player, as the system has this capability) to the subwoofer and a jack to RCA cable, which it eg allows to listen songs from your phone. Also included in the scope of supply is a remote control (with batteries) for the 5.1 system, a wire antenna (Length: approx 0.90m) and the instructions.
2.To build
The system brought from the well-protected package and immediately started to build up is noticeable that all the cables of the speakers for a regular room (ca.16m²) are too short. 2-3m per cable more would make sense. Otherwise, the structure becomes quite easy and above all self-explanatory. All cables (incl. The wire antenna) are connected to the back of the subwoofer to the gekenzeichnetern inputs and outputs. Then the supplied batteries connected in the remote control and the system to sound source and power and the surround system can be put into operation.
3.Funktionen
The subwoofer provides except the normal 5.1 function nor the possibility Sound via USB, SD and AUX play. In addition, the system offers the possibility through the built-PLL tuner radio to hear where the reception but not exactly the best. Using the remote control or the Source button on the subwoofer can be switched between sources back and forth, the volume change (individually for each speaker) or it can radio programs are searched and stored. Using the Pro Logic function, the system is also the sound of AUX, USB, SD and Radio in 5.1 again. Through the mute button allows the sound off temporarily. The plastic ring on the front side of the subwoofer lights up in blue during operation. The indicator lights up blue.
4.Klang
After switching on the 5.1 system is a relatively good and clear sound, the subwoofer provides pleasant bass that do not stand out disturbing. When you turn off the subwoofer is a loud crack of itself.
5.Sonstiges
If you want to insert a USB stick into the port, it is noticeable that the socket is easily installed askew on top of the unit, which was not disturbing. Once connected on the subwoofer after a short time in the DVD mode to discuss the Source button on the subwoofer (Important: only this, not on the remote control) you can switch back to USB, without the system a short time to DVD changes. The reach of the remote control leaves much to be desired, more than 4m distance make for them a problem.
