Standby screen

Display

The color TFT display shows various menus and displays as described below. The display is not a
touch screen. The front panel controls, remote, and App are used to control the functions. Remove
the clear protective strip across the LCD if it is present.

There are basically seven types of displays:

- Standby (clock)

- Splash (mode)

- Now playing

- Metadata (such as artist, track, and station information if available)

Setup

Solo and Duetto are sophisticated multi-source media players. To simplify the setup process as
much as possible, when Solo and Duetto are first started, a “Setup wizard” helps walk you through
the basic steps to enable connections with the different audio sources.

The various listening modes have different requirements:

 Internet Radio requires a suitable Internet broadband connection (usually via a local

wireless network).

 Multi-room requires connection to a wireless network.

 Spotify Connect requires connection to a wireless network connected to the internet

along with a paid Spotify Premium account.

 Music Player requires connection to a wireless network and/or USB connected device.

 DAB/DAB+ (where available)/FM requires a DAB/DAB+ or FM broadcast signal

received via the attached antenna.

 Bluetooth requires a Bluetooth-capable device such as a smart phone or tablet.

 Aux 1 & 2 in requires a connection via the Aux-in sockets with a stereo 3.5mm audio

cable (not included).

 Optical in requires a connection via the Optical in socket with a Toslink cable (not

included).

To start Solo or Duetto, connect the unit to a suitable power source using the power cord provided.
The unit starts up after a slight delay before the display is initialized.

Solo and Duetto will normally enter the last used listening mode. The first time they are started (or
after being reset to factory settings) the setup wizard is launched automatically:

Setup wizard

When Solo and Duetto are started for the first time, they run
through a setup wizard to configure settings for date/time and
network. Once this has finished, the system is ready to use in
most modes.

Note: To change these settings later, select Menu >
System settings > and select the required settings option(s)
(see section 0 System settings for further details).

To run the setup wizard again, select Menu > System
settings > Setup wizard.

The Network settings can be reset later manually running the
Network wizard, select Menu > System settings >
Network wizard (see section 0 System settings for further

12

details).

Rotate the Menu knob to highlight the desired option and
briefly push the knob in to select.

Select Yes to start the setup wizard.

If you choose No, a second screen asks if you would like to
run the wizard next time the unit is started; select Yes or No.
The system then starts without configuring time/date and
network settings and enters the Main Menu.

Note: If power is removed while the wizard is in progress, the
wizard will run again next time the unit is started.

The Setup wizard guides you through the basic setup parameters and Network connection. To
change any settings later, all setting functions are accessible from the System settings Menu.

Set (clock format): 12/24 hour: Choose from 12 or 24 hour time.

Auto update:

Auto-update works with data sent over
DAB, FM, or the Internet. The clock is
only updated when in the
corresponding mode, so it is best to
select a mode you use regularly.

DAB and FM use time signals
broadcast with radio transmissions.

Network uses a time signal sent from
the Internet radio portal when in any
network-connected mode.

Select “Update from DAB” (if your unit is so equipped), “Update from FM” (via RDS/RBDS), “Update from

Network”, or “No update” to set the time manually. We strongly suggest selecting “Update from
Network”.

Solo and Duetto will auto-update from the selected source when time information is available from
that source.

If you select “Update from DAB” (or FM) and find the time to be inaccurate (not all stations keep
their time information updated), set the Auto Update to “Update from Network”, or set the time
manually in the System settings menu.

Note: It can take 30-60 seconds for the time to update if “Update from FM” is selected. You must
tune an FM station with RDS/RBDS, and a time signal must exist for this option to work. Not all FM
stations using RDS/RBDS send a time signal.

Time Zone: If you are updating from the network, set your time zone.

DST: If your country uses daylight savings, the automatically updated time from the

network may be wrong by one hour. To adjust, select +1 or -1. See Page 24 for more.

If you are updating the time from DAB or FM, the Daylight savings option has no effect
on the clock’s time, but the time signal from DAB or FM may be inaccurate.

Keep network connected

This option allows you to define whether Solo and Duetto remain connected to its network in
standby mode. This is necessary for App operation, audio streaming in Music Player mode, and
recapturing the time after a power outage (if Auto Update from Network is selected). We strongly
recommend keeping the network connected.

Note: This option is forced to ‘Yes’ when Como or Duetto is part of a multi-room group.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

WPS encrypted networks are identified by ‘[WPS]’ at the
start of the network name, and have two methods of
connection. Select one and follow the prompts. When
using the network wizard, an additional option to ‘Skip
WPS’ is available. Most users will select “Skip WPS”.

“Skip WPS >”:

Enter your password for a standard encrypted
network.

“Push Button >”:

You will be prompted to press the connect button on your router, then press the Menu knob in
briefly to select.

“Pin >

(code number)”:
Solo/Duetto generates an 8-digit code number which you enter into your wireless router access
point.

For more information on setting up a WPS encrypted network, see your WPS
router’s instructions.

Selecting a network

When the Network wizard is activated, Solo and Duetto automatically scan for available wireless
networks and presents a list of SSID’s (Service Set IDentifier) for the networks. Those options,
starting with WPS in brackets, indicates encrypted networks offering Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
You can also visit our web site for setup help videos: www.comoaudio.com

Solo and Duetto remember login details for the last four wireless networks they have connected to
and will automatically connect to one of them when they are available. If connection to a network is
temporarily lost, Solo and Duetto will automatically reconnect, typically within 3 minutes or less,
from when the network becomes available again. If the network is lost, DAB (optional), FM,
Bluetooth, Auxiliary inputs, and the Optical input can all still be used.

Wi-Fi network (SSID), select your network from the list.

Open network

If the selected network is open (non-encrypted), Solo or Duetto connects and no further details are
required.

Standard encrypted network

If the wireless network is protected, the next screen presents options to enter the network key or
password.

Note: The default password for most wireless routers is printed on a label on the router itself.

To enter the network’s key (password), rotate the Menu
knob to highlight the relevant characters and briefly press in to
select each character in turn. As each character is selected,
the password is built up and displayed in the field at the top of
the display.

The three options – Backspace, OK, and Cancel are
included in the selection loop. These are accessed by
rotating the Menu knob until they are highlighted. You can also
use the remote’s left/right/up/down/play (enter) keys to input
your password.

On completion

Solo or Duetto connects to the selected network.
If connecting fails, the unit returns to a previous screen to try

again. To exit the process, briefly press the Source knob in.

Web Based Configuration
