Safety Information

M1 CLiC issue 5 Page 4 of 24

Installation, precautions and user information

This new M1 CLiC is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:

• Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product.

• The M1 CLiC has a built-in universal power supply that can be connected to 50-60Hz A.C. mains of between 80 to 253V rms without modification.

• Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting audio equipment the mains supply is switched off.

• Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped by items placed on them.

• Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the M1 CLiC, for example, a flower vase or potted plants. If

water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket and inform the dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of liquid into the M1 CLiC is dangerous, and may cause electric shock or fire hazard.

• Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment.

• Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no user adjustments or fuses to change without qualification. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.

* Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim.

• Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may harm the surface finish.

The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged by lightning. For protection of the audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs.

If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the M1 CLiC please quote the serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.

Important note:

In normal operation, the unit dissipates a small quantity of power at all times, and it is important that it is adequately ventilated. The M1 CLiC must be protected from humidity – if the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm room, leave the unit for an hour or so to allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate.

Web-based updates

The M1 CLiC has a flexible design that allows updates to be issued from time to time. These updates are downloaded via

the network and into the unit itself directly, whereupon it will either ask to be switched off or reset by itself.

Please note down any important settings, if required, before updating, as all

user settings are reset during this

process.

The nature of these updates will not normally affect the sound quality, but functionality to a greater or lesser degree, and may or may not provide further features that were not originally available.

The only update available is that on the website. We do not make or allow any third party custom updates or configurations, and beware of third parties offering to do so. The ONLY update supported by Musical Fidelity is that which currently resides on the website.

It is recommended the unit and network is left alone during the update process to ensure timely completion. Update speed depends on internet speed as well as coinciding network traffic to other computers or devices sharing the same network router/gateway. Always allow for at least 5 minutes for broadband/ADSL (assuming no other network traffic present) or longer for slower or busier connections.

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of the new M1 CLiC. This unit will give top quality performance when used as a top quality

media player, delivering the best performance possible from network and/or digital and analogue sources. It is also designed to sonically upgrade CD players, Minidisk, and any other source providing digital stereo PCM outputs.

Please note: Musical Fidelity currently do not make any interconnecting cables, nor do we endorse any particular

manufacturer’s cables. If required, please refer to the Musical Fidelity dealer w ho can advise on good quality cables f or any particular setup.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the unit, switch off power at the mains switch and remove the mains plug from the wall socket. Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist cloth. Using solvents, white spirit or thinners is not advised, as they could damage the surface finish.

Installation

Position the M1 CLiC on a stable, horizontal surface where there is no risk of it being knocked, or subjected to vibration such as from loudspeakers.

Power Connections

The M1 CLiC is supplied with a standard IEC mains cable which plugs into the IEC socket at the back of the unit. The unit features a universal power supply which can accept between 80 to 253V AC

mains without need for reconfiguration.

Audio output connections

RCA Fixed Output

The fixed level output is marked FIXED OUT and is not affected by the volume control. It passes on the material being listened to at nominal level (normally at approx. 300mV r.m.s). This output can be used with amplifiers that already have a volume control e.g. any integrated amplifier, or for recording to CD-R/RW, tape or minidisk. It is also a useful output to connect the M1 HPA or other headphone amplifier (with volume control).

RCA PRE Output

The variable output is marked PRE OUT and is used for power (or other) amplifiers with no volume control. This allows the M1 CLiC to act as master volume controller controlling all its internal functions and external sources through one convenient on-screen volume control and selection process.

Digital input connections

COAXIAL input: Connect RCA digital source to digital input RCA socket. Use a good quality fully connected (signal and

ground) coaxial digital cable, for optimum signal transfer.

OPTICAL input: Connect optical digital source to optical input socket. Use a good quality “Toslink” cable, for optimum signal transfer.

If connecting digital input(s) to Home Theatre Processor, TV or DVD, or similar Home Theatre sources, it may be necessary to change the digital output

of that source to “16 bit stereo PCM”, or similar, which is the format the M1 CLiC will understand. Please refer to the source unit’s manual for information on how to do this. This is because the M1 CLiC does not recognise multi channel (e.g. 5.1 surround) digital audio streams.

USB input: Connect computer or similar USB “host” source to USB input socket. Use a good quality USB 1.1 or 2.0 “A to B” type cable, for optimum signal transfer.

iPod® input: Connect an iPod® or iPhone® to this input using apple approved USB cable.

Trigger Output

The trigger output is a 3.5mm (⅛”) mono (2 contacts) jack. It allows the M1 CLiC to switch on any other devices connected to it by just pressing the one power/stby button on the M1 CLiC.

Network connections

RJ45: Connect the unit to the network permanently with RJ45-RJ45 “straight through” (not “crossover”) networking cable.

Use cable suited to the network type, e.g. 10/100 base-T (most home networks).

Wireless: Connect the supplied aerial to the SMA connector on the back panel.

Basic problem-solving with a Universal Music Controller is similar to troubleshooting other electrical or electronic equipment. Always check the most obvious possible causes first, such as the following examples:

Problem Probable Cause Remedy

No power / display Power plug is not inserted into socket

correctly

Plug in securely into unit’s IEC socket.

Excessive hum from system speakers

Audio connector plug not fully pushed in Cable Fault Unsuitable Cable (e.g. cable grounds not connected)

Insert plug securely Check cable is connected at both ends. N.B. some esoteric cables have internal

wiring intentionally disconnected/modified. For best results on all inputs analogue AND digital, please use good quality screened coax; signal and screen directly connected both ends.

No Output from digital sources No connection to that input

Incorrect input selected Wrong data type sent

Check connection and cable. Select correct input Check source digital output is set for “16

bit stereo PCM” or similar. This particularly applies to some TVs, most DVD players, and other home theatre type devices that may give a MULTICHANNEL digital output. Refer to the source’s manual for further information.

No audio output, or too low level output

Incorrect or missing connections

USB Driver not selected (PC or MAC)

Check connections and make sure they are secure.

See P.17 PC users

or MAC users

section

Dropouts in sound Digital input lead not properly connected

Faulty digital input lead

Faulty optical lead

Check input lead is fully secured Change lead. Please use a good quality

straight-through signal-and-ground phono to phono lead.

Optical lead breakage. This can occur if the optical lead is bent into a radius too small. Avoid tight corners in routing optical leads.

No audio output from USB input USB Cable not connected

USB Driver not selected (PC or MAC)

Check connections and make sure they are secure.

Make sure computer is using correct soundcard driver.

Not detected when connected to USB

USB Cable faulty USB not working/enabled on computer

Correct USB drivers not installed (can happen particularly with factory-

preinstalled Windows operating systems)

Check and replace cable Check USB port functions with another

device. Please check with the computer

manufacturer. Enquire about USB driver or update.

Dropouts in sound (USB input) Shared USB port with another device

Computer busy with another application Computer low on resources

Avoid sharing the USB port with other devices, if possible.

At times an application (program) may intervene, sometimes invisibly e.g. a virus scanner. When this happens, computer resources are temporarily used up, and playback may suffer. This is not a fault. Try running fewer applications if possible.

If none of these actions affect a cure, please contact the dealer, or an authorised Musical Fidelity service agent. Remember;

never open the case of the M1 CLiC, as this will invalidate the guarantee.

The universal remote control shown below enables functions from M1 CLiC and M1 CDT (basic functions) to be operated from a convenient distance.

Equivalent buttons on the remote control have the same functions as those on the front panel of the unit. Other functions are only available by remote control.

As the handset uses an invisible infra-red light beam, the front edge must be pointed directly towards the receiver window at the front of the player, without visual obstruction between them. Avoid allowing direct sunlight or florescent lighting to fall directly on the IR receiver (in the unit) as this could cause range and reliability issues. Also be aware of internal security systems which can also transmit strong infra-red interference. If the range of the remote control greatly decreases, replace the batteries with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries – two are required, size AAA, LR03 or SUM-4.

Please dispose of used batteries in accordance to local regulations.

INPUTS.

There are seven inputs available for other sources of audio:

Coax 1, Coax 2 and Optical are all digital inputs for stereo (2-channel) digital sources such as CD, Minidisk, DAT or TV set top boxes. Please note that any connected TV or home theatre related equipment including set top boxes must be set up to output a 44.1kHz or

48kHz PCM STEREO digital stream or similar.

The M1 CLiC does not recognize multi channel digital audio.

USB DAC is for direct connection to a computer to playback computer audio with the M1 CLiC acting like a high-quality external computer soundcard. The audio in this case is controlled by the COMPUTER not the M1 CLiC.

AUX1, AUX2 and AUX3 are inputs for legacy analogue-output Hifi separates such as tape decks, phono cartridge preamplifiers, etc..

At the Main Menu first select Inputs using the OK button on the remote. Using navigation keys, on the remote, scroll up or down the list of options and select the input required using the OK button. The selected input is then ready for use.

USB DAC input notes

A good quality USB A to B cable is required to connect the USB DAC input to the computer. Plug the B (square) end into the socket in the back of the unit, and the A (rectangle) end into a free USB socket on the computer. The computer should now detect the new hardware and install the driver automatically (No setup or driver disk is required). CD, MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, and all other audio file types played on any software should now play through the unit. This device has been designed to work with PC Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista and 7, as well as Apple Macintosh OS X, Snow Leopard and later. Other Operating systems may have proprietary drivers built-in or available. Please contact the operating system publisher or support for more details. Please note Musical Fidelity do not provide any drivers for any operating system for the USB interface.

- Start

- Settings

- Control panel

- Sounds and Multimedia

- Audio Check that “USB audio device” appears under PREFERRED AUDIO DEVICE tab A second mixer will now be available which will be the default mixer whenever the unit is plugged in. Use this mixer to select the source or adjust levels if required.

Mac users-

Check the computer has picked up the device and is currently using it by clicking: (MAC OS X)

- System preferences

- Hardware

- Sound Check that “USB audio DAC” is selected under the OUTPUT tab. If the computer’s warning sounds/chimes are to played through the unit, make sure it is selected under the SOUND EFFECTS tab too. Note: USB may also be selected as an output in some individual programs.

Please note: This device is a high speed serial data processor, and by its nature, requires a very high volume of USB band width. It will benefit greatly from being the only device connected on its USB ‘bus’. Sharing the same bus with other devices may cause unwanted artifacts such as dropouts or temporary loss of signal. This especially includes the use of the unit on a USB hub/splitter alongside other USB components

Inputs

M1 CLiC issue 5 Page 16 of 24

USB Front

Plug in a USB stick drive or USB hard drive into the front socket marked USB INPUT. Wait approx. 5-10 seconds for the device to be recognized.

Please note that the back and front USB are not interchangeable. The iPod or iPhone will not be detected in the front USB, and standard USB drives will not be detected in the rear iPod USB socket. If a USB hard drive is connected, it may require its own power supply too.

In general, the port should be able to power most 2.5” (small, laptop size) hard disk drives but will probably need the power supply originally supplied with hard drive to power 3.5” hard drives (desktop size). USB RAID boxes are not supported on the USB socket.

From the Main Menu select USB Front. The directories on the USB pen are listed

Other USB storage devices

Some mobile devices and modern phones can also be read as if they were USB storage. The device or phone will need to be setup for “Mass Storage” or “Hard Disk” mode or similar (see device documentation). It can then be plugged into the USB INPUT socket on the front, using original USB cable supplied with the mobile device. It should then be recognized by the USB host controller in the M1 CLiC. Navigation is then the same as with any other USB Drive. See also note below about USB drive formatting.

A note about storing music on computer and USB drive.

. For best usability with USB storage, it is recommended that the music is organized on the USB pen/drive in an orderly manner. For example:

<USB driver letter>\<Artist name>\<Album name>\<song title>.type

or if the USB drive letter is e: on the computer:

e:\Antony Michaelson\Mozart K622 Clarinet Concerto\Allegro.mp3

or similar. This is the way most libraries are kept in computer internal hard drives by default, so should be easy to maintain.

USB drive formatting

The M1 CLiC will recognize FAT16 or FAT32 formatted USB pen/disk drives. No other formats are supported. If required, any information on the drive should be backed up to a host computer, and the drive reformatted to suit (FAT32 recommended as it handles larger storage more effectively). Then the files may be replaced onto the drive and should then be readily recognized. Please note the M1 CLiC will only recognize the FIRST partition on drives or devices that are formatted or appear as multiple partitions/memories.

USB front

M1 CLiC issue 5 Page 9 of 24

Variable and Fixed outputs

To set up the unit with an integrated amplifier such as the Musical Fidelity M3i, it is recommended to use the FIXED outputs and connect them to spare line level inputs, e.g. AUX or TUNER on the integrated amplifier. To set up the unit with power amplifier(s), (or to use an integrated amplifier with PREAMP BYPASS such as HT mode) use the PRE outputs. These outputs allow the volume of all sources connected to the M1CLiC to be controlled by the M1CLiC remote control.

Trigger output

To switch on and off M1 (and future) components simultaneously, link trigger out to trigger in on all components. All linked units will be controlled by any switch in the chain.

Analogue inputs AUX1, 2, 3

The AUX 1, 2, 3 inputs function as normal line level inputs on an integrated or pre-amplifier. They are designed to accept inputs from line level from legacy equipment such as tape decks, phono preamplifiers, etc.

Coaxial inputs

The COAX 1, 2 (RCA) inputs accept SPDIF digital from other digital sources such as CD players/transports set top boxes. It allows the best reproduction of the digital source via the M1 CLiC’s internal digital to analogue converter. If connecting to HOME THEATRE, DVD, TV, set top box or similar, make sure the digital output of that device is set up for “Stereo PCM” or similar. The relevant device’s user manual should explain how to do this. The M1CLiC does not recognize multi-channel digital streams used for “surround sound” etc.

Optical input

The optical (Toslink) input accepts SPDIF digital from other digital sources such as CD players/transports set top boxes. It allows the best reproduction of the digital source via the M1 CLiC’s internal digital to analogue converter. If connecting to HOME THEATRE, DVD, TV, set top box or similar, make sure the digital output of that device is set up for “Stereo PCM” or similar. The relevant device’s user manual should explain how to do this. The M1CLiC does not recognize multi-channel digital streams used for “surround sound” etc.

Computer USB input

The USB (type ‘b’) input accepts USB digital from a computer directly. It allows the M1 CLiC to act as a top quality sound card via the internal up sampling digital to analogue converter. Please note, on the USB input the HOST COMPUTER controls the audio sent to the M1 CLiC. Therefore it is not possible to select tracks etc via M1 CLiC remote through this input. Use the media server function if selection and control through the M1 CLiC remote is required.

USB drive/memory stick input

The USB (type ‘A’) input on the front

panel accepts USB pen drives and single USB hard-disk drives directly. It allows the material to be chosen on-screen and best reproduction therein via the M1 CLiC’s internal digital to analogue converter. Note: this controller is not guaranteed to work with RAID-type USB hard drive units (these usually have more than

one hard drive in a larger single enclosure and are designed for very high security/speed data purposes). iPod® or iPhone® input

The USB (type ‘A’) input on the back

panel accepts USB wire for iPod or iPhone connectivity only. It allows the songs to be

chosen on-screen and best reproduction of the music therein via the M1 CLiC’s internal digital to analogue converter.

Network

This allows the unit to be plugged into a computer network, and is strongly recommended where a wired connection is already available or can be installed. Standard UTP RJ45 networking cable should be used to connect the unit to the networking router.

Antenna

An RP-SMA threaded socket is provided to attach the supplied Wifi aerial to the unit. Make sure that the nut on the aerial lead is tightly screwed to the SMA (threaded) plug on the back of the M1 CLiC. To use, a network connection with Wi-Fi is required. Wi-Fi signal reception and reliability depend on local conditions and placement. Place the aerial for best possible signal strength. If signal strength is weak or erratic, try moving the aerial or unit for best reception. Also make sure no nearby electrical/electronic equipment is causing interference as this could affect reception. Note that concrete and/or reinforced walls will always reduce a Wi-Fi signal considerably. In particularly difficult reception circumstances, it may be necessary to switch to wired networking, for best reliability.

Networking introduction

When unit is first turned on, or when the network is changed, the unit will require setting up before network functions such as internet radio or media streaming are available. This should only need to be done once (per network), as the unit will remember the settings even when switched off and unplugged.

Setup for wired installations (recommended, when a wired network RJ45 plug is available):

Switch off, and plug the supplied 10/100 RJ45 (also called UTP) cable into the silver NETWORK socket (see right) on the back panel. Plug the other end into the router or local network wall socket. Switch the unit back on, and wait for it to start up. If the unit is already on, press PLAY/VIEW button to go to the top of the main menu (“Favorites” should be highlighted) Use navigate down (▼) button to go to the bottom of the list so “Settings” is highlighted. Press “OK” button. “Network” should already be highlighted. Press “OK” button again. “Network setup” should already be highlighted. Press “OK” button and “Wired” should already be highlighted. Press “OK” button again and system will flash up a message on white background asking to confirm wired mode operation. Press “OK” or “►” to confirm, or “◄” to back out. Unit will now reset itself to run in wired mode. Under “Wired”, “Network Settings”, “Settings” the commonest setting should be selected automatically: “Automatic (DCHP)”. This would be suitable for most home networks. We do not recommend changing this setting, unless the network administrator or provider advises changing it is necessary.

setup for wireless installations:

Switch off, and plug the supplied aerial onto the gold ANTENNA SMC threaded plug (see right) on the back panel. Make sure the pin in the plug is straight, then place socket on aerial lead over plug. Tighten nut on the aerial lead (by hand, do not use tools) and make sure the aerial is placed as high as possible, in direct line of sight of the wireless router/hub. Switch the unit back on, and wait for it to start up. If the unit is already on, press PLAY/VIEW button to go to the top of the main menu (“Favorites” should be highlighted) Use navigate down (▼) button to go to the bottom of the list so “Settings” is highlighted. Press “OK” button. “Network” should already be highlighted. Press “OK” button again. “Network setup” should already be highlighted. Press “OK” button and select “Wireless”. Press “OK” button again and system will flash up a message on white background asking to confirm wireless mode operation. Press “OK” or “►” to confirm, or “◄” to back out. Unit will now reset itself to run in wireless mode.

Make sure that the required wireless network’s name (also referred to as “SSID”) is known. The network access key “”WEP” or “WEP/PSK” will also be required. The network/internet provider should be able to help if required.

Select “Scan” to view the locally available wireless networks. Take care as other people’s networks nearby may be shown in this list, please make sure that the correct network is chosen. Using the up/down arrow keys enter in the required key. Press “OK” when done. If successful, the unit will revert back to “network setup”. Correct setup may be checked by selecting “network info”. The unit should report back with an IP address e.g. “192.168.1.128” (n.b. these numbers will most likely be different in different network setups). Under “Wireless”, “Network Settings”, “Settings” the commonest setting should be selected automatically: “Automatic (DCHP)”. This would be suitable for most home networks. We do not recommend changing this setting, unless the network administrator or provider advises changing it is necessary.

When using wireless, please note that for reliable and sound audio performance, a strong signal is required, usually 2 bars, on the signal strength meter (see right). Move and position the aerial for best possible reception. External interference and/or signal absorption will still affect performance of the receiver and in extreme cases a wired connection should be considered.

Internet Radio.

The Internet Radio function requires a connected network. Please ensure that network setup on previous page is completed and working before attempting to use internet radio.

The M1 Clic has capability to receive digital broadcasts made over the World Wide Web. The advantage over normal radio is that any radio station (that transmits on the internet, and most now do) can be listened to anywhere on the planet in crystal clear clarity with no interference or other artifacts commonly associated with normal radio. It uses a list compiled by “vTuner” who keep a constantly updated catalogue of available worldwide stations and thus gives a considerably wider choice of listening over FM or even DAB! The quality and bit rate is determined by the radio station, and the M1 CLiC will playback at the rate set by the station being received. Some stations do transmit a higher quality service which if available, will be visible on the station list.

On the main menu press ▲ or ▼ on remote to highlight Internet Radio option

and press OK or ►. The “local” stations are listed first in the example to the left, being in “United Kingdom”. A selection of station types and musical genres is available under this option for quick selection of desired choice of listening.

Recently Played gives a list of recently played radio stations for easy recall. Search Stations allows search of station name or music type by text search. Text may be entered by the

alphanumeric keypad or navigation keys on the remote control.

Location allows search of stations worldwide by country. Genre allows search of stations worldwide by type of music played. Search Podcasts, Podcasts by location, and Podcasts By Genre operate in similar manner to the radio

station functions mentioned above but allow easy access to podcasts.

New Stations lists a selection of newly set up or newly listed vTuner stations. Most Popular Stations gives a list of the currently most listened to stations worldwide.

vTuner favorite radio station list.

Internet radio service provider vTuner also allows a custom list of stations to be generated, so it is not necessary to wade through thousands of stations to find old favorites! To take advantage of this feature (it’s free and available worldwide), a unique access code is required. The access code is given under the option Get access code under Internet Radio; as highlighted to the left. Please note each time this function is accessed a different access code will be given. Make a note of the access code displayed on the screen (do not use the one

shown here in the manual). On a computer (PC or Mac), bring up the internet browser and type the following into its address bar:

http://streamunlimited.vtuner.com (using all small letters and no spaces).

The vTuner website should appear. If this is the first time, it is necessary to “register”. Please press the “register here” button on screen and follow the onscreen instructions to create a user account.

As the vTuner service website may change it is politely requested that the instructions from the website itself are followed, as they will be the most up-to-date.

If the user already has an existing vTuner account setup with a different product; it is possible to add the M1 CLiC as another media player on the vTuner personal account page.

Once set up, the vTuner stations can be browsed and favorites stored in a personal favorites folder. This folder will also appear on the M1CLiC under My Favorites in Internet Radio and will also show the stored favorites as chosen online. It is then a much easier task to select and play the desired radio station from a smaller favorites list!
