Sub-point
Speaker-type
The purpose of this menu point is to match the accurately to the
loudspeakers connected to it. The calibration process ensures that you obtain
the best possible sound. Select the appropriate setting to suit the loudspeakers
connected to the machine. If you are using unlisted speakers, or speakers
made by other manufacturers, select the ‘linear’ setting; in this case no
matching is carried out.
Sub-point
Speaker
LF Shape
In this menu point you can set the loudspeaker type and, if appropriate, the
cross-over frequency between the main loudspeakers (loudspeaker group A left / right) and the sub-woofer.
If you are using large loudspeakers, please choose the “FULL RANGE” setting.
For relatively small satellite speakers we suggest that you choose a cross-over
frequency of 40Hz, 60Hz, 100Hz or 150Hz, depending on the size and bass
performance of your loudspeakers.
This is the basic rule: the smaller the speaker cabinet, the higher the cross-over
frequency should be. The “Bass extd.” setting is recommended for small
loudspeakers such as small bookshelf units, if they are operated without a subwoofer. At this setting the bass range of the speaker is extended to low
frequencies.
System settings

To change the plain text name, press the button once more. Change
the name as you wish, then press to confirm your choice. This action
stores the settings for the source. If necessary, the display name can be
changed as often as you wish. When the name input process is complete,
press the button to store it.
When you call up Source Select using / on the remote control
handset, any disabled sources are suppressed. This makes it easier to select
sources, and we recommend that you disable any sources not in use.
Sub-point
Input level
The input for sources A1 IN and A2 IN can be adjusted to suit the output level
of the device connected to these sockets. The input level can be set to any of
four values. Set the input in such a way that the volume matches that of the

General Information on
the Streaming Client
The includes what is known as a 'Streaming Client'. This is a new
class of playback devices for media content, providing a means of playing
music which is stored on a vast variety of sources. These sources may be an
iPod or a USB hard disc connected directly to the , but they may also be
thousands of miles away (e.g. Internet radio station). The Streaming Client can
access such remote sources via a home network and the Internet.
The network configuration is explained in the Chapter 'Network Configuration'.
The ’s Streaming Client can access the following sources:
Local sources
(direct connection)
Remote sources
(via home network or Internet)
USB memory sticks and
USB hard discs
Internet radio
iPod
NAS server (with UPnP-AV server)
PC (with UPnP-AV server)
The media content formats which the can reproduce are very wideranging, and extend from compressed formats such as MP3, WMA, AAC and
OGG Vorbis to high-quality non-compressed data formats such as FLAC and
WAV, which are thoroughly audiophile in nature. A full listing of all possible
data and playlist formats is included in the Specification, which you will find in
the Appendix to these instructions.
Since virtually no read or data errors occur when electronic memory media are
accessed, the potential reproduction quality is even higher than that of CD. The
quality level may even exceed that of SACD and DVD-Audio.
The can also play back high-resolution audio formats (FLAC and WAV up
to 192kHz / 32bit). High-resolution audio files can be played back from a USB
hard disc connected to the unit, or via a network connection. However, if you
wish to use a network for 192/32 reproduction, a cable network must be used
since a WLAN network is not generally sufficient for the high data rates (see
also the note in the chapter entitled 'Network configuration').
The music from the iPod is read out digitally, and converted into the analogue
music signal by the high-quality internal D/A converters. This technique
produces the best possible quality of reproduction from an iPod.
Digital audio output is supported by the following iPod models:
iPod nano (all models) iPod classic (all models)
iPod touch (all models) iPhone (all models)
iPod 5G
Earlier models of iPod only generate analogue audio output, and are not
supported.

Select Lists
The music content to be played is chosen from Select Lists. These lists are
operated using the navigation buttons (cursor buttons) which you will find on
the remote control handset and on the front panel. All content can be accessed
via the main menu. Internet Radio in particular offers a huge number of
stations, which can result in long searches or periods of navigation. We
therefore recommend that you store your preferred stations in a Favourites
List, as this makes them easy and fast to access, with no protracted searching.
It is also possible to store Internet radio stations as Presets, just as you do with
normal radio; they can then be called up directly just by entering a number.
The media content can be listed according to various criteria - Internet radio
stations e.g. by country of origin, genre or alphabetical, music from media
servers e.g. by artiste, album, track, genre, etc.
The exact form of the displayed list and the preparation of the content also
depend to a large extent on the capabilities of the server, i.e. the full facilities of
the cannot be exploited with all servers or media. You may therefore find
that in many cases not all the functions described in these instructions can be
used.

The ’s integral Bluetooth interface provides a means of transferring music
wirelessly from devices such as smart-phones, tablet PCs, etc. to the .
For a successful audio Bluetooth transfer from a mobile device to the the
mobile device must support the A2DP Bluetooth audio transfer protocol.
Selecting the Bluetooth
Audio source
Select the 'Bluetooth' source by repeatedly pressing the button on the
remote control handset, or the button on the ’s front panel.
The machine’s integral screen now displays 'Bluetooth' as source.
Setting up audio transfer
Before music from a Bluetooth-capable device can be played through the ,
the external device must first be registered to the . As long as the is
switched on and no device is connected, it is always ready to receive. In this
state the screen displays the message 'not connected'.
This is the procedure for establishing a connection:
Start a search for Bluetooth equipment on your mobile device.
When it finds the , make the connection to your mobile device.
Once the connection is successfully established, the message on the ’s
screen switches to 'connected to YOUR DEVICE'.
If your device requests a PIN code, this is always '0000'.
The procedure for establishing a connection can only be made if the Bluetooth
source is activated (see chapter 'System settings' / source name).
Due to the large number of different equipment on the market, we are only able
to provide a general description for setting up the radio connection. For detailed
information please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your device.
Playback functions
Information on the piece of music being played is displayed on the integral
screen of the connected mobile device. If possible we recommend that you
leave the screen backlight switched on permanently to ensure that it is clearly
legible.
Some Bluetooth devices which support the AVRCP protocol can be controlled
by ’s FM100 remote control handset.
The behaviour and method of operating the connected mobile device are
determined by the device itself. In general terms the function of the buttons the
FM100 remote control handset are as follows:
Start and pause playback
/
The / buttons on the remote control handset or the front panel
are used to start and pause playback (PLAY / PAUSE function).
Stop playback
Pressing the button halts playback.
Switch track
/
A brief press on the / buttons during playback causes the
device to jump to the next or previous piece of music within the current playlist.

Volume adjustment
To achieve the best possible playback quality, you should only adjust the
volume on the itself: set the playback volume as high as possible on your
mobile device, but not so high that the signal is distorted.
Any further changes to volume should then be made using the
/ button on the or the FM 100.
NOTES
The has been tested with a large number of Bluetooth-capable mobile
devices. However, we are unable to guarantee general compatibility with all
devices available commercially since the range of equipment is so wide, and
the various implementations of the Bluetooth standard differ widely in some
cases. If you encounter a problem with Bluetooth transfer, please contact the
manufacturer of the mobile device.
The maximum range of a Bluetooth audio transfer is normally about 3 to 5
metres, but the effective range may be affected by a number of factors. To
achieve good range and interference-free reception there should be no
obstacles or persons between the and the mobile device.
Bluetooth audio transfers take place in what is known as the “everyman
frequency band”, in which many different radio transmitters operate - including
WLAN, garage door openers, baby intercoms, weather stations, etc. Radio
interference caused by these other services may cause brief dropouts or - in
rare cases - even failure of the connection, and such problems cannot be
excluded. If problems of this kind occur frequently in your environment, we
recommend that you use the Streaming Client or the USB input of the
instead of Bluetooth.
By their nature, Bluetooth transmissions always involve data reduction, and the
attainable sound quality varies according to the mobile device in use, and the
format of the music to be played. As a basic rule the maximum quality of music
which is already stored in a data-reduced format, such as MP3, AAC, WMA or
OGG-Vorbis, is worse than with uncompressed formats such as WAV or FLAC.
For the highest reproduction quality we always recommend the use of the
Streaming Client or the USB input of the instead of Bluetooth.

Loudspeaker and signal
cables
Loudspeaker cables and signal cables (inter-connects) have a significant
influence on the overall reproduction quality of your sound system, and their
importance should not be under-estimated. For this reason recommends
the use of high-quality cables and connectors.
Our accessory range includes a series of excellent cables and connectors
whose properties are carefully matched to our speakers and electronic units,
and which harmonise outstandingly well with them.
For difficult and cramped situations the range also includes special-length
cables and special-purpose connectors (e. g. right-angled versions) which can
be used to solve almost any problem concerning connections and system
location.
Mains cables and mains
filters
The mains power supply provides the energy which your sound system
equipment needs, but it also tends to carry interference from remote devices
such as radio and computer systems.
Our accessory range includes the specially shielded 'POWER THREE' mains
cable and the 'POWER BAR' mains filter distribution board which prevent
electro-magnetic interference from entering your Hi-Fi system. The
reproduction quality of our systems can often be further improved by using
these items.
If you have any questions regarding cabling please refer to your specialist

The satisfies the requirements of the latest directives concerning energysaving measures (EuP directive). The modern design of the mains power
supply makes an important contribution to this.
The internal micro-processor constantly ensures that sub-assemblies which are
not currently required are automatically switched off. The micro-processor itself
operates in stand-by mode at a relatively low clock speed, and only responds
to the remote control receiver.
In stand-by mode the current drain of the is less than 0.5 Watt.
If you intend not to use the amplifier for a long period, it should be disconnected from the mains socket, i.e. the mains plug should be withdrawn from the
wall socket.
General Information
The can be operated in wired LAN networks (Ethernet LAN or Powerline
LAN) or in wireless networks (WLAN).
If you wish to use your in your home network, you must first enter the
necessary network settings on the . This includes entering the network
parameters such as the IP address etc. both for wired and wireless operation. If
you wish to use a wireless connection, a number of additional settings for the
WLAN network also have to be entered.
Please refer to the Chapter 'Glossary / Additional Information' and 'Network
Terms' for additional explanations of terminology relating to network technology.
In the following sections we assume that a working home network (cable
network of WLAN network) with router and (DSL) Internet access is present.
If you are unclear about some aspect of installing, setting up and configuring
your network, please address your queries to your network administrator or a
network specialist.
High-resolution audio files via network
The Music Player balanced can also play back high-resolution up to
192 kHz / 32-bit audio formats in the ALAC, FLAC and WAV formats. A WLAN
connection is not generally sufficient to handle the large quantities of data. If you
wish to play back high-resolution audio files via a network connection, please
use a cable network exclusively.
Compatible hardware and
UPnP servers
The marketplace offers a vast number of routers, NAS devices and USB hard
discs made by a very wide range of manufacturers. equipment is generally
compatible with other makes of machine which bear the UPnP label. A list of
devices which has checked for compatibility can be found on the Internet
at: http://www.taelektroakustik.de/hardware/comp_lan_hw.pdf.
Network Configuration
Menu
All network settings are entered in the Network Configuration menu. This menu
will vary slightly in appearance depending on the type of your network, i.e.
whether you have a wired (LAN) or wireless (WLAN) network.
If the detects a LAN connection to a network when you switch it on, the
machine will assume that this is to be used, and displays the network
configuration menu for LAN networks.
If no LAN network is connected, the activates its WLAN module and
displays the WLAN configuration menu when you call up the configuration
menu. The menu for a WLAN network includes a number of additional menu
points. The following sections explain how to use the menu, and the meaning of
the individual menu points.
The Network IF Mode 'auto' is the default factory setting. In case of problems in
combination with your hardware this automatic function can be switched to a
fixed operation mode, e.g. only LAN.

Setting up new Internet
Radio Stations
On the vTuner Internet site you can also set up new stations which are not (yet)
included in the Select lists. This is accomplished by registering with vTuner and
logging on. Click on the point 'My Added Stations'. An input mask appears in
which you can enter the data for your station. After a brief period you will be
able to access the newly set-up station via the menu system of your . You
will find the station under Internet Radio / Added Stations.
Finding a Station URL
You require the URL (Internet address) of any radio station you wish to set up
on the vTuner service. You will generally find the URL on the station’s website.
Another method of finding the URL is to search for it using an Internet
searching service such as Shoutcast (www.shoutcast.com). Once you have
found your station, click on the 'Tune In' switch: this will normally open your
media player, and the station should play. In most cases you can set Media
Player to display the 'Streaming Properties'. For example, using the popular
Winamp Player, simply right-click on the entry for the currently playing station
in the player’s Playlist window. A menu now opens, and clicking on the point
‘View File Info’ opens an information box which displays the streaming
properties including the URL.

General information
The Switch ensures that the individual components within a network are
connected correctly. This is only possible if it can identify each device within the
network unambiguously; this is the reason why every component is assigned a
form of “house number” (IP address). The IP address consists of four blocks of
digits with numbers in the range 0 to 255, separated by dots (e.g. 192.168.1.1).
Each of the individual number blocks may contain values between 1 and 254
(the values 0 and 255 are reserved for certain special functions, and should
therefore not be used). However, if the network is to operate reliably, the
network owner should only select addresses designed for home network use i.e.: the first two number blocks should always be 192.168.xxx.xxx; the third
block can be selected without restriction within the above limits (but should be
the same for all devices on the network), and the fourth block must distinguish
each device uniquely (e.g.: r 192.168.001.001, NAS: 192.186.001.002, PC:
192.168.001.003, ...).
If this local network is to include Internet music sources (Internet radio) as well
as physical devices, then the must have access to the Internet. This
facility is provided by a device such as a router with connection to the DSL
network. This router is also a constituent part of the network, and is assigned
its own IP address. The must also be informed of the address of the
router (Gateway) to enable it to gain access to the outside world.
Please ensure that the first three blocks of the Device IP, Gateway IP and DNS
1 share the same address space (e.g. 192.168.0.xxx). The fourth block assigns
a unique address (house number) to the components in the local network. This
number must not be present more than once in the local network.
The Device IP mask should always be assigned the address 255.255.255.0.
Client / Renderer
Network device which obtains data from the network, decodes it and converts it
into, for example, analogue music signals which can then be reproduced via an
amplifier and loudspeakers. Streaming Clients also contain functions for
displaying media content, and for navigating on the Internet or servers.
DHCP
DHCP is an abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The primary
purpose of DHCP is to enable Clients to obtain your network configuration
automatically from a server or router.
DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most important services on the
Internet. Its primary task is to convert “Internet addresses”, such as
www.taelektroakustik.de, into the associated IP address. In most home
networks the router carries out the DNS function.
If you decide to configure your network manually (without DHCP), then simply
enter the address of your router as the DNS address when configuring the
network.
Ethernet-LAN
Wired network. Interference-free network technology, with the drawback of
having to deploy a network cable.
Gateway
The computer or router in your network which is responsible for managing data
traffic between your home network and the outside world (i.e. the Internet).
IP-adress
Network address. Each device in the network requires an IP address at which it
can be accessed, and by which it is unambiguously identifiable. No individual
network address may be present more than once. This is important if you are
entering network addresses manually. If the addresses in your network are
assigned by DHCP, you do not need to worry about IP addresses at all, as the
DHCP server manages the addresses automatically without your intervention.
Compatible hardware and
UPnP servers
The marketplace offers a vast number of routers, NAS devices and USB hard
discs made by a very wide range of manufacturers. equipment is generally
compatible with other makes of machine which bear the UPnP label. A list of
devices which has checked for compatibility can be found on the Internet
at:

NETWORK TERMINOLOGY
40
Page 41
NAS
(Network Attached Storage)
Network storage facility. This is generally a very large-capacity (> 200 GB)
storage device to which other devices have access. If the NAS server includes
a UPnP-AV server service, then the has access to media files stored on
the NAS, and can play them back.
Powerline-LAN
In a Power-Line LAN data is transferred via the existing mains power cabling.
Devices known as “Power-Line modems” are required at the transmitting and
receiving end. In most cases Power-Line offers relatively problem-free data
transfer with adequate data rates for audio streaming. We recommend PowerLine modems with bit rates of 85 or 200 Mbit/s.
Proxy server
A Proxy or Proxy server is a computer in the network which is capable of
carrying out data transfers faster and more efficiently, and can increase
security through the use of access control mechanisms. Most home networks
do not include a proxy server. In this case there is no need to enter a Proxy
address when configuring the network.
Router
Central network device which creates and manages the connections between
the network devices. In most networks the router also assumes the function of
Gateway to the outside world.
UPnP-AV
Network protocol that makes media files available on the home network.
On PCs and NAS storage devices a UPnP-AV server software must be
installed to enable the to access media files stored on these devices.
Examples for UPnP-AV server software compatible with the :
Windows:
- Twonky Media Server
http://www.twonky.com
- Windows Media Player 11
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/de/default.aspx
Mac OS:

UPnP Control Point
The software permits music, video and pictures on mobile devices, PCs, tablets
etc., to be managed in convenient lists for playback on what is known as a
renderer (playback device). In conjunction with a UPnP server, a UPnP Control
Point can use the as a convenient means of playing music. In this
combination the gapless music playback of the depends on the server and
the Control Point.
Server
Network device which provides data and services for other devices in the
network. For example, a UPnP-AV server typically stores audio / video data,
and makes it available to other devices (the Streaming Clients). Many
UPnP-AV servers also offer functions such as cataloguing, and easy
identification of media content using criteria such as artiste, album name,
genre, etc.
WLAN
(also W-LAN, Wireless LAN)
Radio network. The network is connected by means of radio waves operating in
the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Radio networks are easy to install as no cables
have to be deployed, but they are often problematic and unreliable - especially
when the transmission distances are substantial. Power-Line networks, which
can also be installed without separate cabling, are a better choice in many
situations. In every case the deployment of a network cable is the most reliable
and problem-free technology for data transfer.

Machine does not switch
on
Cause 1:
Mains lead not plugged in correctly.
Remedy:
Check connection, push connector in firmly.
Machine responds correctly
to manual operation of the
buttons, but can not be
controlled by IR remote
control.
Cause 1:
Incorrectly inserted batteries or flat batteries in the remote control handset.
Remedy:
Re-install batteries correctly or fit new ones.
Cause 2:
The remote control transmitter has no direct line-of-sight with the .
Remedy:
Make sure that the remote control transmitter has direct line-of-sight contact
with the receiver - note that glass doors can interrupt the connection.
Maximum range between transmitter and receiver: approx. 8 metres.
Be sure to position the receiver where it is not subjected to direct sunlight or
very bright artificial light. Fluorescent tubes and energy-saving lamps are
powerful sources of interference.
Flat sound image,
insufficient bass response.
Cause:
The loudspeaker cables are connected with reversed polarity.
Remedy:
Check the speaker connections at the loudspeakers and at the amplifier’s
speaker terminals; correct if necessary.
Loud humming noise from
the loudspeakers.
Cause:
Poor contact between the Cinch plugs and sockets, or a faulty Cinch cable.
Remedy:
Please check all connections and cables thoroughly.
Whistling or whispering
noises from the speakers.
Cause:
The antenna lead is routed too close to a mains, remote control or audio signal
cable.
Remedy:
Move the leads so that they are spaced well apart. Use the domestic (loft or
outside) antenna or a cable connection.
The RDS station name does
not appear in the display.
Cause 1:
The station is not broadcasting RDS information.
Cause 2:
Reception is poor, interference is severe, or the field strength (signal strength)
is low.
Remedy:
Select only those stations which can be received with a strong signal: hiss-free
and without interference.
The unit can be operated
normally, but very few
stations or none at all can
be picked up.
Cause:
The antenna system or antenna cable is faulty.
Remedy:
Check the antenna lead for good contact at the antenna socket (at the wall)
and in the back of the tuner. As a test, try using the system with a trailing
antenna. If you can now receive stations reasonably well, we recommend that
you call out an expert antenna technician to check your antenna system.
Trouble shooting
Many problems have a simple cause and a correspondingly simple solution. The following section describes a few
difficulties you may encounter, and the measures you need to take to cure them. If you find it impossible to solve a
problem with the help of these notes please disconnect the unit from the mains and ask your authorised specialist
dealer for advice.

Remedy:
Connect network cable, check connection to router
Cause 2 (wireless LAN):
WLAN antenna not connected or placed in a location with bad reception quality
Remedy:
Connect WLAN antenna properly and find a location with good reception
quality.
Set the transmission power output of your WLAN router to maximum.
Try to establish a network connection first in a location close to the WLAN
router. If this succeeded try to connect to WLAN from a more remote location.
Experiment with antenna position and try to find a location with better reception
quality.
Cause 3 (wireless LAN):
WLAN reception qualiy bad ( low field strength). Possibly too much attenuated
by walls/ceilings on the transmission path.
Remedy:
Optimize location of receiver and transmitter antennas.
Alternative:
If transmission problems persist a so called ‚Power Line‘ network might be
good alternative to establish a good and stable network connection.
The best, safest and most secure network however will always be a cable LAN
network.
Cause 4:
Netzwork parameters not properly configured.
Remedy:
Configure the network parameters correctly (see chapter 'Network
configuration').
Cause 5 (operation without network connection):
For proper operation the needs at least one properly connected network
device. This can be a LAN or WLAN network or a USB storage device.
Remedy:
If the shall be operated without network (LAN / WLAN) please connect at
least a USB stick.

hours of the day or it has changed ist internet address.
Remedy:
Try to get information from the website of the station regarding transmission
hours ans internet address (URL).
Try to establish a connection to the station at a later time.
Bad sound quality bei
certain internet radio
stations
Cause:
The station transmits with a low audio bandwidth (low bitrate).
Remedy:
Use stations transmitting at least at 128 kBit/s. This is the lowes recommended
bitrate for adequate sound quality. For good sound quality we recommend high
bitrates like 320 kBit/s
USB Storage device is not
recognised
Cause 1:
The storage device (especially USB hard discs without separate power supply)
draws more electrical current from the USB interface than is permitted by the
USB standard.
Remedy:
Only use USB storage devices that conform to the USB standard or use
storage devices with own power supplies.
Cause 2:
The storage device is not formatted with an appropriate file system.
Remedy:
The accepts storage devices with FAT16 or FAT32 file systems.
Note:
For big music archives we recommend to use a NAS (network attached
storage) device with a UPnP-AV server to which the will connect via your
home network.
