Re:control |
A General
The M208 System Remote Control was developed based on the knowledge gained through our many years of experience and on the requests and requirements of our customers.
All current Revox products can be operated with the M208, both in the main room and in the additional rooms of a Multiroom system. As the commands are identical for each room, you can take your remote control with you from the living room to the kitchen and continue as normal.
But it’s not just this ability to use the remote control in many different locations that makes the M208 an exceptional product. Many hidden solution details, such as the motion detector that switches the M208 on automatically when it is picked up and moved, make using it a joy.
Chapter structure
The M208 Operation manual is designed in a modular way in the same as the M51. New functions can be added to the M208 through the software update option.
The new functions are described in the following chapters, which are delivered to accompany each relevant software update from Revox. Simply replace the cover page containing the chapter overview and the relevant chapter in the manual. In this way, your manual is always up to date. You will find a version index number at the bottom righthand corner of the cover page.

Re:control |
Batteries
Because the M208 uses the latest processor technology with very low current requirements, you will not have to change the batteries very often. In the following chapters, you will find out how your settings affect the current consumption and therefore the working life of the batteries.
Open the battery compartment cover on the underside of the remote control, to insert new batteries. Insert the four batteries as shown on the bottom of the battery compartment.
You should only use Alkaline LR 03/AAA batteries, also known as Micro and they must be inserted with correct polarity.
Revox does not recommend the use of rechargeable batteries. Because of the low voltage of 1.2V as compared to 1.5V, as well as the high levels of self-discharge by rechargeables (particularly with NIMH models), the battery warning display appears frequently and without justification.
Advice on the disposal of batteries
Used batteries should be disposed of at recognised battery collection points or through the shop where you bought them.
Care
The remote control should be cleaned using just a damp, soft and clean cloth without any cleaning agents.
If any liquid should get into the remote control, the unit should be returned to Revox. The Revox Service Department cleans the M208 and if necessary, will replace the keypad mat. Never open the remote control yourself as you could damage sensitive components through a discharge of static electricity and nullify any guarantee rights.

Re:control |
MMC card
There is a hinged cover on the lower front end of the M208. Opening this cover gives you access to the MMC memory card and the link connection.
MMC memory card
All device data is stored on the MMC card by the M208. For this reason, the M208 only operates when the MMC card is inserted. If there is no MMC card in the M208 or if the card is incorrectly inserted, the following message appears on the display:
MMC Card
Advice on MMC card
You should use exclusively MMC cards from Revox. There is no guarantee that the unit will function correctly if you use cards from other manufacturers. Use of such cards also nullifies your guarantee rights.
Inserting the MMC card
Insert the MMC card into the card compartment as shown below. The gold contacts should be at the top with the angled corner to the left.

Check the MMC card. If the message continues to appear even through the MMC card is correctly inserted and locked in position, it is possible that the software is not installed or is incorrectly installed on the card. In this case, you should carry out an update with the M208 Manager PC program.
MMC Card
MMC Multi Media Card
The MMC card has a Revox file system and cannot be read by the Windows® operating system.

Re:control |
M208 Link
The unit can exchange data with different devices using the M208 Link.
Access to the M208 Link is underneath the hinged cover on the lower front end of the M208, in the form of a USB mini socket. The required USB cable is supplied with the M208.

The M208 Link fulfils the following functions:
Synchronisation with the M51
M51 Tuner stations, as well as Revox server data are accepted by the M208 and stored on the MMC card. You will find further information about the synchronisation process and/or the connection diagram in the following chapter, Synchronisation and in the description of the corresponding devices.
Configuring the M208
New device controls can be added to the M208 and/ or existing configurations can be modified with the M208 Manager PC program. You will find the M208 Manager on the Revox homepage www.revox.de
Firmware update
As well as loading software for device control using the M208 Link, you can also load new firmware for the integrated microprocessor. This is also done through the M208 Manager.

Re:control |
Synchronisation
The M208 Remote control offers the option of data exchange with the M51. Here, all relevant information is transferred to the remote control, e.g. the M51 Tuner stations or from the Revox music server.
Connect the M208 with the supplied USB cable to the M208 Link interface, as shown in the figure on the right. The Link interface for its part is connected to the M51 through a cable to the M Link. Once the connection is established, select the source that is to be synchronised at the M208 and press the SETUP button.
Switch on the M51 and confirm the Synchronize setting with the OK button. Data exchange now starts and you are kept informed of the progress.
*Only possible in connection with the Re:source SAT Module from Revox and the 5000 PVR Series Topfield receivers with hard disk (HDD).

Operation
Basic settings
The Setup menu where you can make the basic settings appears automatically after you insert the batteries. In normal operation, you get to the Setup Menu with the Setup button.
The most important settings are made in this menu. Each setting is saved without needing to confirm it, until such time as you make a modification. All settings in the Setup Menu are made using the Navigation Compass.
OK
Using the vertical pair of buttons (North/South) you select the menu. With the horizontal buttons (West/East) and the OK button, you change the corresponding menu setting. The small arrowhead on lefthand side of the display, indicates the current menu. Additionally, the position bar on the righthand side of the display gives you information about the location within the Setup Menu.
Contrast [Contrast]
The display contrast is already at the optimum setting when the unit leaves the factory. However, depending on the read angle, a different contrast value can give you a better result. The contrast value range goes from 1 (weak contrast) to 24 (strong contrast).
Background lighting [Backlight]
The brightness of the blue backlighting can be set in three levels from Low (dark), through Medium to High (bright). The backlighting is switched off completely with the Off option.
The brighter the backlighting, the shorter the working life of the batteries.

Re:control |
Automatic switch-off |
Ambient light |
[Timeout] |
[Amb. Light] |
The M208 has an automatic switch-off feature that extends the working life of the batteries. The M208 is switched on using an integrated movement sensor, which recognises each movement of the remote control and returns it to the operating mode that was active before the automatic switchoff. In a very quiet room, the mechanics of the sensor are audible, but this does not indicate a fault.
Through the Timeout Menu, you define the length of time from the last time a button was pressed or the last time the unit was moved, until the automatic switch-off. This timeout can be set to one of three values, 3, 6 or 10 seconds.
The Timeout Menu does not define the timeout for the backlighting. This is fixed and cannot be changed.
The brightness sensor is located at the lower end of the remote control, below the 0 button.
Using the Amb. Light function, you can define at which ambient brightness level the blue backlighting should be switched on. As well as the three brightness levels, the sensor can be deactivated through the Off setting. With the Off setting, the backlighting is switched on each time a button is pressed whatever the level of ambient brightness.
OFF: deactivated
Low: dark
Medium: semi-dark
High: bright
The brighter the ambient brightness setting, the shorter the working life of the batteries. The setting Off results in the shortest working life.

Re:control |
Font size |
Scrolling |
[Font Size] |
[Scrolling] |
The M208 gives you the option to modify the font size for the TUNER and the SERVER.
The two displays below show the SERVER Menu in small and large font sizes.:
Setting: Small
Setting: Large
The font size setting has no effect on any other devices. They are displayed in a small font size.
The Scrolling function is activated automatically by the M208 in the case of texts that exceed a certain length and therefore cannot be displayed completely. In this case, the texts are shown in sections, starting from the beginning of the text element.
Using the Scrolling function, you can define the speed at which such texts are scrolled.
The two options are slow and fast.

Re:control |
Infrared power |
Information |
[IR-Power] |
[Information] |
The M208 can send the IR commands with two different power levels. This offers you particular advantages if you frequently want to control devices over longer distances or if you have a device that doesn’t react very sensitively to IR commands.
If you select the Low IR Power setting, the MR208 sends at low power level. At the High setting, a higher power level is used.
The High setting causes a greater drain on the batteries and therefore reduces the working life.
Using the Information menupoint, you can display the current version number of the M208.
Additionally, this menu also displays the brightness values as calculated by the brightness sensor in the lower part of the remote control. This value can be between 0 and 255. 0 indicates complete darkness; 255 is the brightest value.

Re:control |
Battery display |
Status display |
|
IR send |
The battery state display appears in the top left display field, to indicate that the batteries are getting weak. You can continue to use the remote control but you should replace the batteries with new ones at the next opportunity.
You should only use Alkaline LR 03/AAA batteries, also known as Micro and they must be inserted with correct polarity.
Revox does not recommend the use of rechargeable batteries. Because of the low voltage of 1.2V as compared to 1.5V, as well as the high levels of self-discharge by rechargeables (particularly with NIMH models), the battery warning display appears frequently and without justification.
A-13
The IR symbol appears in the upper display fields each time the M208 sends an infrared command.
Link
If you connect the M208 to the M51 using the M208 Link interface to synchronise the Server database for example, the Link symbol appears.
USB
The USB symbol appears as soon as the M208 is connected with a PC USB port over a USB cable. This connection is only needed for data transfer with the M208 Manager PC program.
