Introduction
network receiver
Welcome
The Second generation Revox S119 and
S120 network receivers not only combine
elegant streaming technology with an
audiophile HighEnd output, they also
form the bridge from sophisticated CD
player integration right up to the latest
aptX-standard Bluetooth technology.
With Software 2.3 the music service
TIDAL is directly integrated in the device.
When you see the compact construction, it
is easy to forget that there are full-blown
torodial transformers and heavy duty
power supplies at work in the network
receivers, so that if required, up to 240
watts (S120) are available at the speaker
terminals. Combined with the DSP
professional speakers and space
correction, you, in the company of your
Revox speakers, will reach a musical
zenith, which need fear no comparison
with its peers.
For the benefit of audiophile music
lovers, Revox deliberately avoided the
use of fans. So that nonetheless, the
S119/S120 can keep a cool head, even
when the temperatures outside top the
40°C mark, a heat coupler has been
used. This aluminium heat pipe
dissipates the heat away from the
network processor over a gold-plated
coating on a large area of copper. The
heat can then escape from the inside of
the housing through the convection
openings. In this way, we achieve a
processor temperature that is lower by
up to 30°C, which impacts positively on
the processor stability and ensures a
long working life.
In order to keep the operation on a par
with the sophisticated technology, a lot
of time and effort was invested in the
detail of the optional remote control. You
will feel it and see it.
The Apps S232 (for iOS) and S235 (for
Android) allow additionally the control of
your Joy receiver by means of your
smart phone / tablet and thus browse
thousands of music tracks.
This product innovation from Revox
stands out as a true system for life,
thanks to its legendary robustness and
longevity, which the brand is known for
throughout the world.

Introduction
network receiver
Installation - Safety advice
Please follow the instructions in the
User manual supplied.
Do not position the unit close to strong
heat sources or in direct sunlight.
Please take note of the following, if the
receiver is to be installed in a cabinet
or closed shelves. Allow at least 5 cm
of free space around the device, so
that the air can circulate freely and
that there is no build up of heat. Do not
cover openings on the back wall or in
the base of the unit.
It must be ensured that the correction
functioning of the unit's ventilation
openings is not affected by being
covered, e.g. by curtains, newspapers,
table cloths, or similar.
This unit conforms to protection class
2. This means that with this unit, the
ground cable is not connected to the
housing, in order to effectively
eliminate sound-damaging groundloops. With these network receivers
however, Revox uses the ground cable
for the reduction of noise fields. For
this reason, both the supplied cable
and the connection panel are fitted
with a ground cable.
The power plug should be removed
from the socket during longer periods
of non-use, for instance during an
absence.
Unplug the unit from the mains during
storms. Voltage peaks through the
mains power supply caused by
lightning strikes can damage the unit.
There must be easy access to the
power plug so that the unit can be
unplugged at all times.
Lay the power cable such that it
cannot be damaged. The power cable
should not have kinks or be laid over
sharp edges. It should not be walked
on or be exposed to any chemicals.
The last point is valid for the whole
unit. A power cable with damaged
insulation can lead to electric shocks
and represents a fire hazard.
Never pull on the cable when plugging
the unit in or out. Always hold the plug.
Liquids, flammable or other objects
should not be inserted in the unit’s
openings as this can lead to faults, fire
or an electrical shock.
Do not expose the device to splash
water or high levels of humidity. Do not
stand containers filled with liquid, e.g.
flower vases, on the device.
It is only designed for operation in
temperate, non-tropical climates.
Take note of and follow the safety
advice on the following pages.

S119/ S120 Front panel
As well as housing the multi-colour
status LED, the front panel of the
receiver also conceals a radio module
for the bidirectional data traffic with the
optional S208 remote control as well as
the Bluetooth receiver. The receiver is
controlled either using the S208 Remote
control or the S232 Apple App or the
S235 for Android devices.
Front view of the S119 network receiver
Advice about the installation location
As the radio module is located directly
behind the glass panel on the front of the
unit, the S119/S120 should be installed so
that it is aligned in the direction of the
remote control. This guarantees the
maximum distance for operating use the
S208. Walls and ceilings, particularly
those made out of brick or concrete
(with reinforcement), significantly
reduce the distance.

information on the following pages.
USB information
Revox recommends that you only use the
USB connection for data carriers up to
32 GB as with large data quantities, the
reading time increases greatly or it can
be impossible to record data. With a
large music collection, we recommend
using a network hard disc (NAS) with an
UPnP service e.g. the Revox S37 audio
server with integrated rip function.
DAB+/ FM combiner information
A DAB+/FM combiner is needed for the
parallel reception of DAB and FM signals
through the tuner module's F socket. In
this way, the two inputs, FM (87.5 - 108
MHz) and DAB+ (174 - 230 MHz), are
combined onto a joint HF output. Revox
offers an optimised FM/DAB combiner
under the
order number 1.561.091.01.

S208 Remote control
The optional S208 Remote control offers
you the optimum way to control the
S119/S120 network receiver. All
information is displayed clearly on the
TFT colour display, through the bidirectional wireless connection.
Additionally, the control of third-party
devices with an IR Code can be
integrated through a database. The
remote control is configured using the
free-of-charge
software that can be downloaded from
the Revox homepage.
S208 EasyCreator
PC
Initial operation
The remote control battery should be
charged up for at least 3 hours before
you start to use it. Please refer to Page
15 of this User manual for information on
how to do this.
The charger supplied with the remote
control is used to charge the lithium ion
battery in the S208.
The operation of the S119/S120 using the
S208 Remote control is described in the
next chapter. The setting options of the
remote itself, such as the background
colour of the display, are defined in the
S208. On the other hand, the menus and
setting options that affect the network
receiver itself depend on the
corresponding device. As a result, the
description is split between the S208 and
the S119/S120.
One S208 controls several receivers
Up to 24 network receivers can be
controlled with one S208 Remote control.
However, it can only communicate or
have a wireless connection with one
receiver at a time. If a connection to a
second receiver is established (
hotkey), the connection to the
device
first receiver is automatically closed.
Two S208s for one receiver
If you are using several S208 remotes, it
should be noted that one receiver can
only have a wireless connection to one
remote controller at a time. If for
example, there is already a connection
to remote control
cannot establish a connection to the
receiver. Remote control

Charging the battery
The S208 remote control has a
rechargeable lithium ion battery that can
be charged using either the supplied
charger or a mini-USB connection.
Use the charger with the supplied USB
cable and the pluggable power supply.
Insert the S208 vertically in the charger
cradle (Step 1) and then let it slope
backwards (step 2). This ensures that
there is good contact between the 4 gold
contact-connections on the charging
cradle and the remote control.
Alternatively, the charger can also be
connected to the network receiver's
USB output if this is not needed for any
other purpose. In this case, the
pluggable power supply is not required.

Battery care
Keep the number of charging cycles to a
minimum
The working life of a lithium ion battery is
largely determined by the number of
times it is charged, irrespective of
whether it is charged from 90% to 100%
or from 10% to 100%. For this reason, it
makes sense to charge the remote only
once the charge-level display is showing
[Almost empty] or [Empty]. This will
lengthen the working life of the battery
with the same number of charging
cycles.
Store in a cool environment
If possible, don't place or keep the
remote control in warm or hot locations,
e.g. on a window sill or other places that
get hot. At temperatures above 40°C, the
rate of self-discharge increases and
irreversibly shortens the overall working
life and capacity. Particularly if the
remote control is not going to be used
for several weeks, it should be kept in a
cool location with the battery at 50% to
80% charge.
Total discharge protection
The S208 remote control has a total
discharge protection feature that
switches the battery that provides its
power off, as soon as this is completely
discharged either through usage or
through longterm storage. Once the S208
is in this state, it no longer reacts to
button-presses. In this case, the remote
control has to be completely recharged
using the charger or the USB
connection. This takes at least 3 hours.
Useful facts: Revox Joy radio system
The transmitting power of the S208
remote control and the receiver unit in
the Joy device is in the μW or mW range,
depending on the data traffic. Is the S208
in standby mode, there is even no radio
communications between the devices no polling at short intervals.
The S119 / S120 is the off-mode only in a
receiving mode, which means that he
"hears" only, whether data for him are
sent. No active sending.
Conclusion: The Revox Joy receiver
behaves exemplary in electric smog.

The timeout until
the time is shown,
depends on the
Stand-by

consumption while the time is being
displayed and while trickle charging is
happening (battery 100% charged), is
0,8W.
There is no time display if charging (fast /
trickle charging) is done directly through
the USB socket.

integrated brightness sensor (see S208
overview) measures the ambient
brightness and adjusts the background
lighting accordingly.
The brighter the background lighting
selection, the shorter the battery life.
Background colour
Five colours are available as background
colour:
Moss green.
Dark grey / Walnut / Blue / Red /
On the one hand, this gives
you the option of choosing a colour that
matches your personal preference but it
also makes it easier to differentiate
between them, if several remotes are
being used.
Hotkeys
Four hotkeys are available per
Zone/Room that can have network
receivers or IR devices assigned to them
from the list of available devices.
Network receivers are integrated into
this list by being paired with the S208. IR
devices are integrated through the S208
EasyCreator PC program. You can now
assign these devices to the hotkeys in
the corresponding zones through the
hotkey menu. This function is also
available in the
S208 EasyCreator

Start Pairing
Background information to pairing
A fixed communication must be created
for the bidirectional wireless connection
between the S208 remote control and
the network receiver, in order that they
can communicate securely with each
other again after a restart or power
outage. This is also necessary because
there may be several network receivers
and remote controls in one system. The
exchange of information for the purpose
of uniquely identifying the devices is
called Pairing. An S208 remote control
can be deployed for the control of
several network receivers and as a
result can also be paired with several
network receivers.
Pairing process
To prepare for the pairing of an S208 and
S119/S120, switch the network receiver
off at the power switch and wait until the
status LED on the front panel has gone
out. If you now switch the receiver back
on, the LED flashes green for about 10
seconds. During this time, you have the
chance to start the pairing process
[Start Pairing], using the OK button. Once
a network receiver is recognised, its
name appears in the S208 display. Now
the name and the preferred hotkeys can
be selected. This completes the pairing
process.

First contact
Various connections have to be made
before setting up your S119/S120 for the
first time.
Speakers and outputs
Use cables with sufficient cross section
profile to connect your speakers to the
S119/S120.
The Revox recommendation:
Length 0 - 5 m: min. 2.5 mm
Length 5 - 10 m: min. 4.0 mm
Each speaker must have an impedance
of at least 4Ω. You must ensure that all
the cable strands are located correctly
in the speaker connection terminal and
that no individual strand is touching
another connector or has contact with
the S119/S120 housing.
Fully-insulated banana plugs provide an
elegant solution for making speaker
connections. The screw connectors
must be fully tightened to ensure a
secure contact.
Ensure correct polarity when connecting
the cables in order to ensure perfect
stage sound reproduction. Crossed
polarity doesn't cause any damage to
the speaker or the amplifier, but it leads
to an imprecise and somewhat diffused
sound picture that is weak in the bass
ranges.

Power cable
Only use the power cable supplied by
Revox. It must also be ensured that the
voltage value printed on the type plate
corresponds to the available mains
voltage. If required, the S119/S120 can
be reconfigured for a different mains
voltage. This should however only be
done by an authorised specialist dealer.
LAN/WLAN connection
The S119/S120 network receiver is
designed for network-based functions,
such as playing Internet radio or as a
streaming client for your music library
that is located on a network hard drive.
The receiver needs access to your
network for these functions. This can be
done preferably through a wired LAN
connection, using the supplied RJ45
network cable or wirelessly through a
WLAN.
The reason for preferring a wired LAN
connection to a WLAN connection is its
reduced susceptibility to failures and the
option of being able to transmit highresolution audio formats (≥ 96 kHz)
without any interruptions. If a LAN
connection is used, the WLAN function
is switched off. In this case, the supplied
WLAN antenna is not needed. The
wireless connection to the S208 remote
control is done through the radio module
integrated in the glass front panel, which
is independent of the WLAN.

Headphone operation
It is possible to use headphones with the
Joy receiver. Instead of the common 3,5
mm jack bush you can use the pre-out
RCA socket of the S119/S120 receiver,
which thanks to its powerful output is
capable of driving headphones as well
as external amplifiers. It is possible to
operate headphones with low (16 - 80 Ω)
and high (250 - 600 Ω) impedance.
The pre-out is always active, even when
the loudspeaker output inclusive of the
Mute
sub out is muted by the
button.
During the muted mode the volume
function will be maintained to control the
volume of the headphones. Each mute
activity is acknowledged by a short fadeout of the pre-out signal. See also page

FM/ DAB+
As an option, the Joy Receiver can be
ordered with a DAB+/FM module or it
can have one fitted retrospectively.
If only one of the two reception methods
is required, the antenna signal can be
fed directly into the F socket on the rear
of the device as shown by the dotted line
in the graphic on the right.
A DAB+/FM switch is needed for the
parallel reception of DAB and FM signals
through the tuner module's F socket. In
this way, the two inputs, FM (87.5 - 108
MHz) and DAB+ (174 - 230 MHz), are
combined onto a joint HF output, as
shown by the solid line in the graphic on
the right. Revox offers an optimised
FM/DAB switch under the
1.561.097.01.
CD player via CD-Link
If you own a Joy CD player, these can
easily be integrated into the Joy system.
To do this, you simply have to connect
the CD player to the Joy Receiver using
the RJ45 patch cable that is supplied
with the CD player. Both the symmetrical
audio data and the control data are
digitally exchanged over the connection
cable. No further connections are
necessary.
Only high quality CAT6A or CAT7 patch
cables with double screening should be
used as alternatives. Please refer also to
Page 38.

The first Step -
Establishing the connection to the network
Your network
The following description for the cabling
and the setup of the S119/S120 makes
the assumption that there is a
functioning network with router available
and that the network is operational.
If you have any questions about the
setup and configuration of your network
or Internet access, please refer to your
System administrator or an IT specialist
of your choosing.
WLAN Wireless communication
An access point is required for the
wireless communication between the
S119/S120 and the router. This can be an
external unit or it can be integrated in
the WLAN router.
Internet Radio
If you want to use the S119/S120 to
receive Internet radio, there must be a
broadband Internet access to the router.
Setting up the Internet access may
involve further costs. The management
and use of the Revox Internet Radio
Portal is free-of-charge and already
included in the purchase price.

Configuration
network receiver
The first Step -
Establishing the connection to the remote control using pairing
All the functions of the S119/S120
network receiver are controlled through
the S208 remote control. Through the bidirectional wireless connection, the S208
can display content and operating state,
keeping you up to date at all times.
Control is not just limited to one network
receiver. Actually, up to 24 receivers can
be controlled.
To make this possible, each network
receiver has to be "introduced" to the
remote control one time. This is called
pairing.
The S208 remote control can only
communicate or have a wireless
connection with one receiver at a time. If
a connection to a second receiver is
established, the connection to the first
receiver is automatically closed.
The picture below shows the pairing
process between the S208 and a
network receiver. You will find an exact
description of this process on the next
page.

Configuration
The first step -
Establishing the connection to the remote control
Once all connections are in place, the
network receiver can be switched on
using the power switch.
After switching on, the green status
LED on the front panel flashes for about
10 seconds. Pairing between the
network receiver and an S208 remote
control can be carried out during this
green phase. In the case of a combipackage consisting of network receiver
and S208 remote control, Revox will
already have carried out the pairing. You
can switch the S119/S120 on directly by
pressing the hotkey on the remote
control with the name S119 or S120. In
the example on the right, that would be
A.

Carrying out a pairing with a new S208
In the case of a new S208 remote control
that has not been paired, the pairing
process is started by confirming the
Start Pairing option during the green
phase . Now, the S208 tries to connect
to the network receiver. If one is
recognised, it transmits its name to the
S208. This can now be edited and
assigned at a later stage to a hotkey.
This successfully completes the pairing
process and the receiver is
automatically switched on.
If the battery icon is already visible
on the S208 or if there is no display at all,
the battery needs to be charged - see
Chapter

First steps in the Main menu
While the connection is being
established to the network, "
wait... Currently starting up" appears in
the display. Then, the S208
with the sources is displayed. Sources
identified with a are sources that are
available or present. On the other hand,
indicates that these sources are
currently not yet available or cannot be
reached. In the example on the right,
there is a connection to (Internet) radio.
A USB device (iOS products/USB
memory) or a music server (NAS) on the
other hand has not been identified or is
not available.
The local inputs are always available
even if they are not being used or have
not been assigned.
The first item, "Last listened to" stores the
last 40 sources or paths to have been
selected. These can be Internet radio
stations or tracks from a USB mass
storage. Local inputs are not taken into
account. When the system is first setup,
this folder is of course empty.

Radio not available!?
If Internet radio is not available to you, it
was probably not possible to establish
an Internet connection. There can be
several reasons for this.
• The network cable to the router is not
plugged in or a crossover network
cable has been used.
• As a factory setting, the S119/S120 is
set to DHCP, which means that it gets
its IP address automatically from the
router. DHCP must therefore be
possible and/or activated in the
router settings. If this is not wanted,
the receiver can also be assigned a
fixed IP address. See Chapter
Network settings
• The firewall is blocking access.
See Chapter
• WLAN connection. The WLAN
antenna at the receiver / the WLAN
router is not available. The WLAN
function is deactivated at the router or
the router is switched off.
See Chapter

The main menu is called by pressing
the Home button on the S208.
