Why is it different?
The Q-TV System uses 'BMR' (Balanced Mode Radiator) loudspeaker drivers which not only give exceptional sound performance but also have very wide dispersion. This means, wherever you sit in your room, you'll still enjoy the full hi-fi or home cinema experience. Additionally, because the advanced BMR drive units we employ are extremely narrow, (only 131mm x 29mm), we have been able to make the whole Q-TV system incredibly slim. The subwoofer is an astonishing 38mm deep and easily hidden when mounted on the rear of the TV screen.
What size screens will Q-TV fit?
Q-TV2 fits 30" to 42" flat screen TVs.
From February 2010 a version for screens up to 50" will be available, the Q-TV2X. This unit will be identical but with longer satellite arms to match the width of wider screens.
Surely if the Subwoofer is mounted to the screen the vibration will damage the TV and blur the picture?
No, the subwoofer is a special 'force-cancelling' design. This means that, even at high volumes there is almost no cabinet vibration - very unusual for a subwoofer! So no screen damage and sharp, clear pictures.
How does it fit to the screen?
With the two vertical mounting rails supplied, the Q-TV2 and Q-TV2X bolts to the 'VESA' holes in the rear of your screen. This takes only a few minutes and then you're ready to plug-in and listen to wonderful, hi-fi quality sound. Naturally, everything you require to fit the Q-TV to your flat screen is included in the box.
What connections are needed to the TV?
The simplest way is to take an output from the TV screen's headphone socket to Q-TV2. In this way, Q-TV2 is seamlessly controlled from the standard TV remote control and virtually invisible in use.
If there is no headphone output, then use the line-out or optical output from the TV. When connected in this way, volume is controlled by Q-TV2's own remote handset.
My connection sockets are on the back of my screen, how will I be able to fit the plugs?
Often the terminal panel of the TV is recessed, but if the plugs protrude or if the back of the screen isn't flat then spacers are supplied to hold Q-TV away from the screen. Accessing the terminals is easy - just unclip the subwoofer at the top and lean it back to gain access.
Can I still use my existing (manufacturer's) table stand?
Yes, Q-TV2 attaches to the rear of the screen and both are supported by the table stand.
Can I wall mount?
An optional wall bracket is available. This holds both the screen and Q-TV flat to the wall. The wall to screen depth is kept to a minimum. Additionally, the wall bracket can be attached to a cantilever bracket, enabling both screen and speaker system to be angled towards your preferred viewing position.
Is it possible to connect rear effect speakers?
No, Q-TV takes its audio signal from the TV which provides only left and right stereo signals, there is no rear effect signal available.
What cables do I need?
The system is supplied with a 3.5mm mini jack lead for connection of Q-TV to the TV's headphone socket. Also supplied is a phono lead for connection to the TV's line output. If your TV has neither of these you will need to use an optical (toslink) lead - not supplied.
When using a digital box the picture and sound may seem out of step - does Q-TV address this issue?
Often the digital video signal has more electronic processing than the audio signal, this delays the picture to a point where speech and image are not synchronised. To counter this problem Q-TV has a variable digital audio delay adjustment - users can then adjust the sound, step-by-step until it perfectly matches the picture.
Can other equipment be played through Q-TV?
Yes, there is an auxiliary input - this can be used for audio playback from an iPod, CD player or other portable players.
Do I have to turn on Q-TV2 every time I want to watch TV?
No. Q-TV has signal-sensing power on/off. When you turn on your TV, Q-TV turns itself on automatically. When you switch your TV off, Q-TV goes into 'standby'. This means you not only save electricity but Q-TV is seamless in its operation - fit and forget!
