USER MANUAL



Welcome.

We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a  product. With your new  you have acquired a topquality piece of equipment which has been designed and developed with the wishes of the audiophile music lover as absolute top priority.

The  is a multi-source device which provides facilities for playing BluRay, DVD, CD, VHF tuner, DAB+ (digital radio) and Internet radio. It also offers connection facilities for analogue and digital input signals, and can be expanded to form a 3.1 system when used in conjunction with active loudspeakers.

This system represents our very best efforts at designing practical electronic equipment incorporating solid quality, userfriendly operation and a specification and performance which leaves nothing to be desired.

All these factors contribute to a piece of equipment which will satisfy your highest demands and your most searching requirements for a period of many years. All the components we use meet the German and European safety norms and standards which are currently valid. All the materials we use are subject to painstaking quality monitoring.

At all stages of production we avoid the use of substances which are environmentally unsound or potentially hazardous to health, such as chlorine-based cleaning agents and CFCs.

We also aim to avoid the use of plastics in general, and PVC in particular, in the design of our products. Instead we rely upon metals and other non-hazardous materials; metal components are ideal for recycling, and also provide effective electrical screening.

Our robust all-metal cases exclude any possibility of external sources of interference affecting the quality of reproduction. From the opposite point of view our products’ electro-magnetic radiation (electro-smog) is reduced to an absolute minimum by the outstandingly effective screening provided by the metal case.

Our range of accessories includes high-quality cables and connectors We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the faith you have shown in our company by purchasing this pro-

duct, and wish you many hours of enjoyment and sheer listening pleasure with your .

About these instructions

All the controls and functions of the  which are frequently used are described in the first section of these operating instructions.

The second part - 'Basic settings, Installation, Using the system for the first time' covers connections and settings which are very seldom required; they are generally required only when the machine is set up and used for the first time. Here you will also find a detailed description of the network settings required for connecting the  to your home network.

For newcomers to networks we have prepared explanations of some of the important terms used in this technology and other background information in the Chapter 'Network Terminology'.

Symbols used in these instructions



Caution!

Text passages marked with this symbol contain important information which must be observed if the

machine is to operate safely and without problems.



This symbol marks text passages which provide supplementary notes and background information; they

are intended to help the user understand how to get the best out of the machine.

 Multi-Source System

Controls

All the ’s important functions can be operated using the buttons on the machine’s front panel. Direct operating buttons are provided for basic functions such as selecting sources and tracks, whereas more rarely required functions are controlled by means of menus which are called up using the  and  buttons.

The integral screen constantly displays all the information relating to the machine’s current state, the track currently playing and the radio station currently tuned. The main item of information is emphasised on the screen in a contextsensitive manner, so that you can see it clearly from a distance. The following section describes the functions of the front panel buttons and the screen information in greater detail.

 On / Off switch

 

(On and Off switch) A brief press on the  button switches the machine on and off.



Caution! The ON button is not an isolation switch. Certain parts of the machine remain connected to mains voltage even when the screen is switched off and dark. If you know you will not be using the machine for a long period, we recommend that you disconnect it from the mains by withdrawing the mains plug from the wall socket.

Please see the chapter entitled 'Notes on Energy Saving' for details of power consumption.

Basic Functions of the 

The basic functions of the , described in this chapter are always available, regardless of the selected source.

Switching sources

The source buttons on the front panel or the remote control handset are used to select the desired internal source (Disc Player, VHF radio / DAB+, Bluetooth, Streaming Client) or an external source (Analogue in, Digital in and TV in) for playback.

Once the  has switched to the appropriate source, internal sources can be operated using the remote control handset or the front panel buttons.

Please refer to the following chapters for details of operating the individual source devices.

Volume control

The volume of the  can be adjusted in fine increments using the  /  buttons on the front panel, or the -  + button on the remote control handset. A brief press on one volume button increases or reduces the volume by one increment. Holding one of the volume buttons pressed in causes the volume to change continuously.

Tone settings (Tone menu)

FM100



The  features a range of facilities for adjusting the sound to suit your personal preferences, the system’s location and your room acoustics. All sound settings are grouped together in the tone control menu (TONE menu).

The tone control menu is called up using either the  buttons on the remote control handset or on the machine itself using the menu point Tone

(tone control settings) in the  menu. The individual menu points may offer different set-up options depending on the

type of reproduction, i.e. via the integral speakers or external loudspeakers. The features of the tone control menu are explained in detail in the next section.









Tone settings





Some points in the Sound menu only appear if the associated option is switched on in the System menu.

Menu point

Adjustment range options:

Explanation:

Balance

61L ... 0 ... 61R

This menu point is used for altering the level balance between the left and right loudspeakers, in order to compensate for an imperfect listening position. The level balance can be adjusted in increments of 1 dB; the current value is displayed on-screen.

Tone Control

off / on

This menu point can be used to disable (bypass) the ' s tone controls.

To switch off the tone controls, select the “OFF” setting. When the tone controls are switched off, any adjustments you make to the

following menu points “BASS” and “TREBLE”

have no effect.

Treble Bass

-12 ... 0 ... +12

These two menu points are used to alter the treble and bass settings. The value affects the internal loudspeakers and any external speakers connected to the system.

Center

(This menu point only appears if the menu point Caruso + external is selected in the System Configuration / Loudspeaker menu.)

-15 ... 0 ... +15

This menu point allows you to alter the balance between the loudspeakers of the  and any external loudspeakers connected to the system.

Ext. Subwoofer

(This menu point only appears if an external sub-woofer is connected, and it is switched on in the System Configuration / Loudspeaker menu.)

-15 ... 0 ... +15

The volume of the sub-woofer can be adjusted at this point. Adjust the volume of the subwoofer to suit the acoustic conditions of the listening room, and the volume of the other channels.

Loudness

off / on

The  features a volume-dependent tone correction system (LOUDNESS) which compensates for the frequency-dependent variation in the sensitivity of the ear at very low volume levels due to the physiology of the human auditory system.

This set-up option is used to switch loudness on or off.

Tone (sound fields)

The following set-up options are available if the internal loudspeakers of the  are used for playback. (See the ‘System Configuration menu / Loudspeaker menu’ for the method of switching to the internal loudspeakers)

Normal

Linear tone control, without equalisation, suitable for using the system on sideboards and similar locations.

Smooth

If you prefer a relaxed sound image with slight de-emphasis on the treble, select the Soft sound field option.

Near

If the listening distance to the  is very small (<1.5 m), we recommend the Close setting (close-range equalisation)

Speech

This option improves the comprehensibility of speech in spoken word programs, reportage and sports transmissions.

Shelf

If the  is set up in a confined position close to shelf walls, the result may be excessive emphasis on low frequencies; this can be corrected by selecting the SHELF set-up option.

Table

Setting up the system on a table with a large top can cause particular frequency ranges to be amplified. This problem can be corrected by selecting the Table set-up option.

The following set-up options are available if the  is operated in conjunction with external loudspeakers. (See the ‘System Configuration menu / Loudspeaker menu’ for the method of switching to external loudspeakers.)

Normal

Wall Corner

Positioning loudspeakers close to a wall or corner has the effect of emphasising the low frequencies, which can result in an unnatural, bass-heavy sound image. Excessive bass emphasis caused by speaker positioning can be corrected in this menu point by selecting one of the set-up options Wall or Corner.

Alarm Timer

The machine features an integral Timer module which is capable of switching the  on with a selectable source at a programmable time (alarm clock). Three times can be programmed.

 A long press on the  button in 'App' or 'Comfort' standby calls up the Alarm Timer menu even when the machine is switched off (Comfort standby); you can then make any changes you like without having to switch the system on beforehand.

Display of alarm times

The LED above the  button lights up in different colours to indicate when

a timer is switched on. The key is as follows:

LED Colour

Alarm time

Off

Alarm OFF

Red

Alarm time 1 ON

Green

STICK

Introduction

The  supports playback of digital audio, video and photo files from CD and from USB memory sticks on the front. The media files can be generated, processed and burned to CD using a PC, or stored on a USB stick.



The audio, video and photo formats supported by the  can be found in the Specification in the Appendix.



We wish to point out expressly that it is impossible to guarantee general compatibility with such files due to the huge number of different encoding and burning programs, disc burners and media which are available.

If you find that such files cannot be played by the , we recommend the following measures when creating your CD or USB media:

 Try using a different copy or encoding program  Try using a different audio, video or photo format  Try using a different make of blank disc  Try using a different disc burner

The  provides the following functions for playing back files:

Video Player

 Pause, Stop, fast forward / rewind, repeat  Skip to the next / previous video file

Audio Player

 Pause, Stop, fast forward, rewind, repeat  Skip to the next / previous audio file

Photo Viewer

 Preview pictures (“thumbnails”)  Slide show

Preparing the  for music / video / photo playback

Files which are to be played back using the  should first be burned onto a CD or saved on a USB stick formatted using FAT32.

Place the disc in the drawer, or insert the USB stick in the USB port on the back of the player.



For safety reasons we recommend that you switch off the  before inserting and removing a USB stick.

In rare cases you may cause damage to the data on the memory stick if you plug it in or remove it when the machine is operating.

Using BD-LIVETM functions

Introduction

Some (but not all) Blu-ray discs contain supplementary functions. These are known as “BD-Live” functions, and include:

 The facility to load film trailers  Additional commentaries by actors and directors  Games  Chat functions  Additional bonus material

The following requirements must be fulfilled if you wish to use BD-Live content:

 The  must be connected to the Internet (BLU-RAY-LAN socket!)  A USB memory stick with adequate free space must be plugged in

Preparing the  for BD-Live use

Connecting BD-Live memory

Using BD-Live requires a USB memory stick with a free capacity of at least 1 GByte.

1. The USB stick must be formatted using the FAT32 file system.

2. If this is not the case, please use a PC to format the stick with the FAT32 file system before use.

3. Plug the memory stick into the front panel USB port of the .

Preparing the  for Internet access

This is the procedure for preparing the  for Internet access:

1. In the Setup menu (Settings) of the  select the “System menu”.

2. In the menu select the point “BD-Live Internet Access”.

3. Ensure that “Limit Access” or “Always Allow Access” is selected.

4. Insert the prepared USB memory stick.

5. If there is less than 100 MByte of free space on the memory stick, select the

option “Clear BD Storage”. This action erases any data present on the

memory stick, and ensures that there is adequate free memory.

6. Call up the ‘Network’ menu in the Main menu of the .

7. Enter the correct network settings, i.e. those matching the settings of your home network, your network router and your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

8. Carry out the ‘Connectivity Test’.



Your system must pass the ‘Connectivity Test’, otherwise there is no Internet connection, and the BD-Live Internet functions cannot be used.

BD-LIVE notes

Although downloaded BD-Live content is stored permanently on the USB memory stick, you cannot use the content without the corresponding BD-Live disc in the machine. For this reason, always place the appropriate Blu-ray disc in the player when you wish to use BD-Live.

Some BD-Live content has a limited usage time, i.e. it lapses after a certain period. Once the permitted usage time is over, you can no longer use the material. From time to time it is therefore necessary to free up the USB stick of data which you no longer use, or which can no longer be used. The unwanted data can be erased using the sub-function “Clear BD storage” in the “System” menu.



The only option is to erase the whole of the USB memory.

BD-LIVE example: The 6th Day: BD-Live

Select the BD-Live option

from the “Special Features”

The BD-Live menu is now

assembled; this may take a few minutes

From the Previews sub-menu

you can now select the content which you wish to download from the Internet.

The downloading process may take a few minutes, depending on the speed of your network.

The downloaded content is saved under “My Downloads”. The downloaded content is now ready for use and playback.

Disc menu and Setup menu (Settings)

General notes on menu operation

Introduction

It is important to differentiate between two different menu functions: the Disc menu and the Setup menu.

 The Disc menu is located on the DVD / Blu-ray disc itself. In this menu you

can control special functions pertaining to the individual disc, such as language, sub-title selection, background information on the film, games, etc.

The content and exact methods of operating this menu vary from disc to disc. Generally speaking it is possible to operate this menu using the navigation buttons listed below, but in any case you should always follow the operating notes which are displayed on the screen.

The Disc menu is opened with a brief press on the  button on the front panel / remote control.

 The Setup menu is used for altering settings which apply to the player itself;

this menu is described in detail in the following chapters. The Setup menu appears on the screen when the disc is stopped.

Depending on the individual DVD / Blu-ray disc, it may also contain games, bonus material or alternatives for camera angle, synchronised speech, sub-titles etc., all of which can be set up or called up using the Disc menu.

 The content, appearance and behaviour of the Disc menu are determined and controlled by the disc itself. If functional problems occur in relation to the Disc menu, please contact the manufacturer or distributor of the disc.

Calling up and operating the Disc menu

The Disc Menu can be called up at any time during playback, so that you can make adjustments as required.

 The menu is called up by pressing the  button on the front panel /

remote control handset. If the DVD / Blu-ray disc contains a Select menu, this will now be displayed on the TV screen. The integral screen shows the message 'INFO'.

 Use the numeric buttons or the cursor buttons (, , ,

) to select your desired point in the menu, i.e. to highlight your choice.

 To activate or implement a selected menu point, press the  button.  You can quit the Select menu by briefly pressing the  button on the

front panel / remote control once more.

Operating the Streaming Client

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 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 (ALAC, 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').

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.

Access to Media Content via the Main Menu (Home Menu)

Main Menu

(Home-Menu)

When you call up the Streaming Client by pressing the  button on the front panel or the remote control, the front panel screen displays a list of

- Favorites



*1) To play back media files that are stored on PC’s or NAS storage devices on

your home network, a UPnP-AV server software must be installed on these devices to make the media content accessible through the network.

Selecting and Playing Media Content

You can now select a device or a service using the  /  buttons. The selected list point is shown enlarged, and can be called up by pressing the / button.

Accessing Media Content using the Favourites List

The Favourites List

The Favourites list can be used to store your preferred Internet radio stations and the paths to your preferred music tracks. At any subsequent time you can then very quickly access these stations and tracks using the 'Favorites' entry in the Home Menu.

Adding Favourites to the List

If you are currently enjoying a particular Internet radio station, simply press the green  button on the FM100 handset: this adds the station to the Favourites list.



In principle you can also add pieces on a NAS server or a USB hard disc to your Favourites list, but we only recommend this if the content of the relevant storage medium is available at all times (e.g. permanently connected USB hard disc).

Calling up Favourites

Open the Favourites list using the  button, then select an entry from the list using the  /  buttons. Start the track or the station by pressing the  /  button.

Erasing Favourites

Entries are removed from the Favourites list by first selecting the entry to be erased using the  /  buttons, and then holding the red 

button on the FM100 handset pressed in for several seconds.



Caution!

Erase the paths to files on USB hard discs or UPnP-AV servers from the Favourites list using the  button before you erase or move files.

Using Presets

Preset function

You can store Internet radio stations as Presets using the process familiar from FM radio. These stations can subsequently be called up directly using the numeric buttons on the FM100 remote control handset.

Storing a Preset

First select an Internet radio station (e.g. using the Home menu / Internet radio). When you hear the station, press the  button followed by a

number  to . The station is now stored under this number. It is possible to store a total of 10 Presets under the numbers  to

.



If a station is already stored at this Preset number, it is overwritten by the new station.

Calling up a Preset

Briefly press one of the numeric buttons  to . The associated Preset is now called up, and after a brief delay you will hear it.



Presets are particularly useful when the front panel screen is not in view, but you wish to call up stations (e.g. when operating the system from an adjacent room, or when operating it via a domestic control system).

Adding Internet Radio Stations

The lists of Internet radio stations displayed by the  are very complete and comprehensive, but since new stations are constantly being added you may find that one of your favourite stations is not (yet) included in the Select lists.

In this case you can add the stations using the vTuner service (see also the Chapter 'vTuner Premium Service'). The station added can then be accessed from the  main menu under the Internet Radio / Added Stations point.

Operating the Bluetooth source

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.

The behaviour and method of operating the connected mobile device are determined by the device itself. In general terms the function of the buttons of the  or 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.

Controlling the 



The  can also be controlled from the mobile device (Start/Stop, Pause, Volume, etc.). To control the  the mobile device must conform to the Bluetooth AVRCP protocol.





Please note that many AVRCP-capable mobile devices do not support all the ’s control functions. In case of doubt, please ask the manufacturer of your mobile device.



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.

Installation

Using the system for the first time

This section describes all those matters which are of fundamental importance when setting up and first using the equipment. This information is not relevant in daily use, but you should nevertheless read and note it before using the equipment for the first time.

 Mains input

The mains lead is plugged into this socket. For correct mains connection please read the notes in the chapters ‘Using the

system for the first time, Wiring’ and ‘Safety Notes’.

 WLAN (SCL)

Aerial socket for receiving WLAN signals. The aerial can be screwed directly into the socket.



Automatic activation of the WLAN module

Every time you switch the  on, the machine checks whether it is connected to a wired Ethernet or Powerline network via its LAN socket (see below).

If it finds no connection to a wired network, the  activates its WLAN module and attempts to connect to a radio network.



Caution!

The LAN socket must be left vacant if you are using a WLAN connection

 LAN (SCL)

Socket for a wired network (LAN).



If a LAN is connected, the LAN connection has priority, and the WLAN is disabled.

 USB Audio

Socket for a USB memory stick or an external hard disc. Files from a medium connected to this socket are reproduced via the Streaming

Client (SCL). Only audio files can be played in this way. The storage medium must be formatted using the FAT16 or FAT32 file system The USB storage medium can be powered directly via the USB port provided

that its current drain is in accordance with the USB norm. Normalised 2.5” USB hard discs can be connected directly, i.e. without a separate mains PSU

 FM ANT (aerial input for FM and

DAB Radio)

The  features a 75  aerial input FM ANT, which is suitable both for a normal domestic aerial and a cable connection. For first-class reception quality a high-performance, professionally installed aerial system is indispensable

 PRE OUT

Socket for external active loudspeakers (e.g.  ).



 -loudspeakers can be switched on automatically by the  .This is possible because the  generates a Trigger control voltage, which must be activated in the Loudspeaker menu (see Chapter 'System Settings, Loudspeaker').

Other types of loudspeaker connected to these sockets should be fitted with an automatic power-on circuit. If not, you will have to switch them on and off manually.

 SUBW

Output socket for an active sub-woofer. The sub-woofer is optional



If your system includes a sub-woofer, it must be switched on in the loudspeaker menu (see chapter ‘System settings, Loudspeaker’).



If no sub-woofer is present, it is important to disable the sub-woofer in the loudspeaker menu (see chapter ‘System settings, Loudspeaker’). The correct setting is ‘Ext. sub-woofer off’.

If the sub-woofer is not disabled in the ‘Loudspeaker settings’ (chapter entitled ‘System settings’), the low-frequency range will be missing from the sound since no sub-woofer is present to reproduce it.

 BLU RAY LAN

Socket for a wired network (LAN).



For BD Live please connect a LAN cable with internet access. If you do not wish to use BD Live, there is no need to connect a wired network.

 DISC PLAYER HDMI OUT

HDMI output for Plasma / LCD panel or projector. The video and audio signals of the internal Blu-ray / DVD player can be made available at this output.

  E LINK

What is known as a trigger signal of +5 V DC at 1 kOhm impedance is present at this socket? Other makes of active loudspeaker can also be switched on and off reliably by this means. The pin assignment for this socket can be found in the "Use with active speakers" chapter.

Installation and wiring

Carefully unpack the  and store the original packing materials carefully. The carton and packing are specially designed for this unit and will be needed again if you wish to move the equipment at any time.

Please be sure to read the safety notes in these instructions. If the unit gets very cold (e. g. when being transported), condensation may form

inside it. Please do not switch it on until it has had plenty of time to warm up to room temperature, so that any condensation evaporates completely.

Before placing the unit on a sensitive surface, please check the compatibility of the lacquer and the unit’s feet at a non-visible point.



The unit should be placed on a rigid, level base. The quality and characteristics of the base on which your high-quality Hi-

Fi equipment stands define the limits of sound quality which can be achieved. The base surface should be as heavy, rigid, hard and level as possible. Make sure there are no loose objects on the support surface which could cause rattling noises or resonance effects.

The receiver should be set up in a dry, well-ventilated site, out of direct sunlight and away from radiators.

The unit must not be located close to heat-producing objects or devices, or anything which is heat-sensitive or highly inflammable.

Naked flame sources, such as candle lights should not be placed on the device.

When installing the unit on a shelf or in a cupboard it is essential to provide an adequate flow of cooling air, to ensure that the heat produced by the unit is dissipated effectively. Any heat build-up will shorten the life of the unit and could be a source of danger. Be sure to leave at least 10 cm free space above the unit for ventilation. If the system components are to be stacked then the amplifier must be the top unit. Do not place any object on the top cover.

Mains and loudspeaker cables, and also remote control leads must be kept as far away as possible from signal leads and antenna cables. Never run them over or under the unit.

A complete connection diagram is shown in 'Appendix A'.



Notes on connections:

 Be sure to push all plugs firmly into their sockets. Loose connections can

cause hum and other unwanted noises.

 When you connect the input sockets of the amplifier to the output sockets on

the source devices always connect like to like, i. e. 'R' to 'R' and 'L' to 'L'. If you fail to heed this then the stereo channels will be reversed.

 To achieve maximum possible interference rejection the mains plug should

be connected to the mains socket in such a way that phase is connected to the mains socket contact marked with a dot (). The phase of the mains socket can be determined using a special meter. If you are not sure about this, please ask your specialist dealer.

We recommend the use of the  'POWER LINE' ready-to-use mains lead in conjunction with the 'POWER BAR' mains distribution panel, which is fitted with a phase indicator as standard.

When you have completed the wiring of the system please set the volume control to a very low level before switching the system on.

The screen on the  should now light up, and the unit should respond to the controls.

If you encounter problems when setting up and using the amplifier for the first time please remember that the cause is often simple, and equally simple to eliminate. Please refer to the section of these instructions entitled 'Trouble shooting'.

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 FOUR' mains cable, ready-to-use 'POWER LINE' mains cable with integrated shell-type filters 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  dealer who will gladly give you comprehensive expert advice without obligation. We would also be happy to send you our comprehensive information pack on this subject.

Changing the batteries

The battery compartment can be opened by pressing in the locking surface and sliding the cover down and off. Remove the old cells and fit three new dry cells of the LR 03 (MICRO) type in the battery compartment, taking care to fit them with correct polarity. Please remember that all the cells must be replaced at the same time.



Caution! Batteries shout not be exposed to excessive heat like sunshine, fire or the like.



Disposing of exhausted batteries: Exhausted batteries must never be thrown into the household waste! They

should be returned to the battery vendor (specialist dealer) or your local toxic waste collection point, so that they can be recycled or disposed in a proper way. Most local authorities provide collection centres for such waste, and some provide pick-up vehicles for old batteries.

Care of the unit

The surfaces of the case should be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth only. Never use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners! Before switching the unit on again, check that there are no short-circuits at the

connections, and that all cables are plugged in correctly.



Caution

Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply before cleaning it.

System settings (System Configuration Menu)

The System Configuration menu is used for adjusting the general settings of the machine. This menu is described in detail in the following chapter.

Calling up and operating the menu

 The menu is called up by briefly pressing the  button on the front

panel or the remote control handset.

 Once the menu is open, the following select points appear on the screen:

 Use the  /  buttons to select a menu point.  If you wish to change a selected menu point, first press the  button,

then change the value using the  /  buttons.

 To accept the change, press the  button again after altering the

setting.

 To quit without accepting a changed value, you can interrupt the procedure

at any time by pressing the  button.

 Press the  button again to leave the menu.

Menu point

Tone

Using this menu point you can access the Tone menu by pressing the buttons on the .



This menu can also be called up directly by pressing the  button on the

FM100 remote control handset.

Menu point

Source configuration

When you call up this menu point using the  button, a list of all the external sources of the  appears. You have the opportunity to alter external sources.

Sub-point TV

Some TV sets feature optical (TOSLINK) digital outputs. If you wish to use the  with such a set, you can assign the optical digital input D3 to the TV source of the  instead of the analogue sound input A2. In this case the  accepts and processes the digital stereo signal (PCM signal) from the source device instead of the analogue signal. Set the input matching your TV set at this point.

 If a digital input (e.g. D3) is assigned to the TV source, then that input is no

longer available as a separate source.

Sub-point

Auto power-on

This menu point enables you to automatically switch on the  due to the automatic power-on function. If this function is switched on, the  automatically switches itself on from standby mode, and switches to the selected source (if necessary), when a music signal is present at the A1, A2, D1 ,D2, or D3 input - depending on the input to which the auto power-on source is assigned. If the  is switched on, but no signal is detected at the auto power-on input within about twenty minutes, then the  automatically switches itself off again; however this only occurs if the auto power-on source is selected. In this mode of operation the volume control for the selected source is separate, i.e. the volume level for this source is stored separately, and only changes when the auto power-on source is selected. This makes it possible to pre-set a fixed volume at the , and to control the volume, for example, using the TV set connected to the system. Of course, the volume can also be controlled using the , and the TV set left at a fixed level.



The auto power-on function is only supported in 'Comfort standby' or 'App standby''.

Source setting

At this menu point you can activate and disable external sources, and assign a plain text name to each source; this name then appears in the screen displays. For example, you might wish to assign the display name “Media Centre PC” to the coax D 1 input. Each source is followed by the assigned name, or if you have disabled the source concerned the note 'disabled'. If you want to activate / disable a source, or change the plain text name, navigate to the appropriate line. To activate a source, press the green  button; pressing the red 

button disables the source. 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. A name can only be entered for external source devices, i.e. those connected to the following inputs of the : Analogue A1, A2, Digital D1, D2, TV.

 When you call up Source Select using  / on the remote control

handset or the source buttons on the front panel, 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 sensitivity of the analogue inputs can be adjusted to the output level of the source devices connected to the system. This facility ensures that the volume level is the same for all sources. The default setting for input sensitivity is 2.0 V (high level). If the connected source is being played too quiet, adjust the input sensitivity to a lower value. The adjustment is correct when the volume is about the equivalent of the built-in FM radio.

Menu point

Speaker

(Loudspeaker menu)

Activating this menu point calls up additional on-screen menu points which relate to the loudspeakers.

Sub-point

Loudspeakers

Choosing the menu point Caruso + External selects a 3.x configuration; in this mode the  should be set up as the Centre speaker.

Sub-point

Ext. Subwoofer

Selecting the menu point ‘Caruso’ in the Loudspeaker sub-point, and setting the menu point ‘On’ in the Sub-woofer sub-point, switches off the integral bass

loudspeaker.

Sub-point

Crossover freq

This menu point only appears if you have selected "External" or "Caruso + external" in the Loudspeaker sub-menu, and the sub-woofer is switched on.

 If you are using satellite speakers in combination with a subwoofer, 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

Sub-point

 active spk auto on

At this point you can switch the Trigger voltage for  active loudspeakers on

and off.

If you set the trigger voltage option to ‘On’, then   loudspeakers

connected to the PRE output of the  are switched on together with the

. This avoids the usual problem with automatic power-on systems: that

of “swallowing” the first few beats of the music.

If you connect different (active) loudspeakers or output stages to the unit, the

trigger voltage should be set to ‘Off’.



A list of compatible  active loudspeakers can be found in the chapter entitled " Miscellaneous / Use with active speakers".

Menu point

Sound delay

Every video monitor requires a certain amount of time to display the video

signals (latency); this period may vary from monitor to monitor. If your monitor

has a long latency, the result may be a perceptible time-lag between the picture

and the sound. This is usually apparent when lip movements are not properly

synchronised with the soundtrack. To compensate for this effect the 

features a digital sound delay module (Lip-sync) which can be used to

synchronise picture and sound reproduction.

If necessary, set a delay time in this menu point which corresponds to your

video monitor. If the latency of your monitor is not stated in its Specification,

you will need to determine the appropriate value experimentally, e.g. by playing

a DVD in the original speech version (non-synchronised version). During

playback simply adjust the value for sound delay until the speaker’s lip

movements coincide with the sound.

Menu point

Brightness

(Screen Brightness)

At this point you can adjust the brightness of the ’s integral screen to

suit your personal preference in normal use. Seven levels are available.

Menu point

Language

In this menu point it is possible to determine the language which is to be used for the

displays on the integral screen on the front panel of the .

 The language used for any transferred data, e.g. from an Internet radio station, is determined by the device itself or the radio station, and therefore cannot be selected on the .

Menu point

Standby mode

The  features several stand-by modes, enabling you to set the most

economical energy consumption mode for your particular usage. The following

settings are available.

Stand-by mode "Off"

Power consumption is < 0.4 Watt. The stand-by current drain is reduced to a

minimum by switching off all non-essential functions.

In this mode the  can be switched on using the  button on the

front panel, or the remote control handset.

"Comfort" stand-by mode

Power consumption is between 2 Watt and 6.5 Watt, depending on the screen

brightness you have set. In Comfort mode the following additional functions are

available:

Alarm timer with time of day display

Automatic clock setting (VHF-RDS)

Auto power-on (see "System settings / Source settings" chapter).

"App" stand-by mode

Power consumption is max. 8 Watt at full screen brightness; this mode

consumes most energy when the device is switched off.

In addition to the facilities of "Comfort" stand-by mode, the  can be

switched on and off via the network using the  Control App.

 For information on energy-saving operation, and accurate information on current drain in the various operating modes, please refer to the Chapter entitled 'Notes on Energy Saving' and the Specification in the Appendix.

Network Configuration

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.

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

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 vTuner Premium Service

The list of radio stations displayed by your  is prepared by an Internet Service Provider, and transferred to your machine by data transfer. You can expand and edit the 'Favourite Groups' and 'Added Stations' list to suit your preferences via the Internet portal of your service provider, using the main menu point 'Internet Radio'. This is the procedure:

Open your Internet browser and call up the following web address: http://ta.vtuner.com

The first time you register you should enter the MAC address of your ; the MAC address provides unique identification of your machine. The MAC address can be found in the Configuration menu (hold the  button pressed in), and consists of six pairs of characters, e.g.: 00:0e:9b:cc:a4:35. You do not need to enter the separating colons when you enter this data. MAC addresses are in hexadecimal format, i.e. the address consists only of the letters a to f, and the numbers 0 to 9.

Confirm your entry.

You must register with vTuner in order to be able to use the service; you can register via your e-Mail address and a password. Please follow the instructions stated by the service provider.

Now you can select radio stations from the comprehensive inventory provided by vTuner, and store them in lists. The lists are transferred to your  automatically via your Internet connection. Shortly after you have edited lists on the vTuner page, or stored new stations, you will find that they are available on your .



Notes regarding Internet Radio:

 Not all stations are always accessible

- Not all stations transmit 24 hours

- Stations are no longer accessible

- Capacity exhausted

 Transmission breaks off

- (Internet) network problems

- Server capacity exhausted

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.

NETWORK TERMINOLOGY

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: http://www.taelektroakustik.de/fileadmin/software/e-serie/MP_HW_KOMP.pdf.

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:

EyeConnect

http://elgato.com/

- Twonky Media Server

http://www.twonky.com

Linux:

- Mediatomb

http://mediatomb.cc/

- GmediaServer

http://www.gnu.org/software/gmediaserver/

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.

Notes on Energy Saving

The  fulfils the requirements of the latest directives designed to economise on the use of energy (EuP directive). The modern construction of its mains PSU and the highly efficient design of the  switch-mode output stage play an important role in this.

The internal micro-processor constantly ensures that sub-assemblies which are not required for the current task are switched off automatically.

In stand-by mode the current drain depends on the functions of the  which are still active. Please refer to the table below for more details.

Software update

Software update generally

Software updates keep your  up-to-date. They bring new optimisations like faster operation and new features which could be developed in the future.



It may occur that after a software update some of your user defined settings like network parameters or favourite stations are lost and have to be restored after the update.

Automatic software update

If the  is connected to the internet it will periodically check if a new software version is available. In case a new version is found, your Music Receiver will inform you on its display at the time it is switched OFF.

If this happens you have three choices which can be selected by the  and  buttons. A press on the  button will execute your selection.

"Yes"

The update will be downloaded from the internet and installed. The  will switch OFF automatically after the update is complete.

"No"

This software update is ignored and not installed. You will be asked again when the next software version is available.

"Later"

The update information will be automatically displayed again after a while giving you the possibility to carry out the update at a later time.

Important notes



If an error message appears when an update is being loaded - perhaps due to a poor WLAN connection - and the update is interrupted, the  should be connected to a wired network (LAN), and the update restarted.

Depending on the point at which the error in the update process occurred, you may find that the  starts with the previous version of the software, or switches on immediately with the message that the update must be loaded again from a USB stick or the Internet.

In the first case the update can be started manually using the software update menu. You will find a detailed description under www..

In the second case the update can be repeated simply by pressing the  button. It is possible to disconnect the device from the mains in order to connect it somewhere else using a LAN.

In both cases the update should be carried out using a wired network (LAN) in the interests of safety.

Updating the disc drive (Servo Firmware)

The servo software of the disc drive can be updated via a USB stick. The Caruso checks the software version of the drive regularly. Once a newer than the installed version is available, the following message appears on the display (only at the source 'disc'):

'Servo firmware update available'

If this message appears, the servo software should be updated. The update process is described in the Service Note 111. The instructions and the latest firmware are available on our homepage:

http://www.ta-hifi.com/caruso-blu-servo-software

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.

Machine does not switch on (the screen remains dark).

Cause 1:

Mains lead not plugged in correctly. Remedy:

Check connection, push connector in firmly..

Cause 2: Mains fuse burned out.

Remedy:

Have the mains fuse replaced by an authorised specialist workshop. The rating of the replacement fuse must agree with the specification printed on the unit.

Device switches itself off. It can be switched on again,

but switches itself off again when volume is increased.

Cause:

The mains power supply’s protective circuit has been triggered.

Remedy: Disconnect the device from the mains, and allow it to cool down for about ten minutes. It is not sufficient just to switch the unit on and off again!

Device does not respond to any controls

Cause:

Powerful interference or electro-static discharge has disrupted the device’s processor.

Remedy: Disconnect the unit from the mains for at least one minute.

Remote control

Machine responds correctly to manual operation of the buttons, but cannot 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 unit.

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.

Bluetooth

The mobile device cannot make a connection with the .

Cause 1:

The mobile device does not support the A2DP Bluetooth audio transfer protocol.

Remedy: Use a mobile device which supports the A2DP protocol.

Cause 2:

A mobile device is already connected to the . Remedy:

You must disconnect the existing connection before the new device can be registered.

Dropouts occur during playback.

Cause 1:

The distance to the  is too great (>6 metres), or there are obstacles between the  and the mobile device which affect reception.

Remedy:

Reduce the distance to the , and avoid obstacles - such as persons between the devices.

Cause 2:

The radio connection is suffering interference from other radio networks (e.g. WLAN, baby intercom, etc.) which may already be in use.

Remedy:

If possible, switch to the USB input or the Streaming Client.

Streaming Client

The streaming client can not connect to a network.

On the display the indication

'SCL Connecting...' is displayed.

Cause 1 (cable LAN):

Network cable not properly connected Remedy:

Connect network cable, check connection to router

Cause 2 (cable LAN):

The router uses energy-saving functions, causing it to switch the LAN port on with a delay, with the result that the  makes no connection - or only a sporadic connection - during the power-on process.

Remedy: In the menu for the SCL source (hold the SRC button pressed in) change the

"Network IF mode" menu point to "Lan only". This ensures that only the wired network connection is used.

Cause 3 (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 4 (wireless LAN):

WLAN reception quality 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 5 (wireless LAN):

Although the router has been selected, and the WLAN password has been entered correctly, no connection to the network is created.

Remedy: Some routers are set by default to two simultaneous WLAN protocols

(WPA / WPA2). Set your WLAN router to just one type of protocol, e.g. WPA2.

Cause 6:

Network parameters not properly configured. Remedy:

Configure the network parameters correctly (see chapter 'Network

configuration').

Cause 7 (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.

The message 'Track not found' is displayed

Cause:

The music file on the storage device or on the music server was deleted or the internet radio station is not available at the moment.

Remedy: Choose another music title or radio station. If the station or title is not available any more it should be deleted from the Favourites List (if stored there).

The message 'Format Error' is displayed

Cause:

The title is stored / the radio station is transmitting in a format that cannot be decoded by the .

Remedy: Choose another title or station.

The message 'network problems –

restarting' is displayed

Cause:

Network problems in your home network or on the internet occurred; the connection was interrupted.

Remedy: When encountering a network problem or interruption the  will re-start the network communication. After re-start please choose a music title or internet radio station and start playback.

Transmission interruptions occur when listening to internet radio stations.

Cause 1:

The capacity of the internet radio station‘s server is at its limit.

Remedy: Choose a different station.

Cause 2: Network problems occurred.

Remedy: Check your network (see above).

Some internet radio stations cannot be received

Cause:

The internet radio station has been switched off, it transmits only at certain hours of the day or it has changed its internet address.

Remedy: Try to get information from the website of the station regarding transmission hours an internet address (URL).

Try to establish a connection to the station at a later time.

Bad sound quality at 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 lowest recommended bitrate for adequate sound quality. For good sound quality we recommend high bitrates like 320 kBit/s

USB Storage device is not recognised

Interruptions and / or jerky reproduction of audio or film material

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 an UPnP-AV server to which the  will connect via your home network.

Picture:

No picture from the Blu-ray player.

Cause 1:

HDMI lead not connected, or defective. Remedy:

Connect the HDMI lead properly; have the lead checked by an expert.

Cause 2:

Video monitor not set to the correct picture input, or an incorrect video norm selected for the input.

Remedy: Select the picture input (AV input) on the video monitor to which your  is connected.

Cause 3:

One of the disc mechanism’s picture settings (e.g. Resolution in the 'Display'

menu) is set to 'Auto'. Many TV sets prefer a fixed setting.

Remedy:

If possible, select fixed settings in the 'Display' menu. You may need to read the operating instructions supplied with your television in order to establish the correct values.

UKW und DAB Empfänger:

Just a 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 receiver.

Check that the antenna cable is not damaged, and has no sharp bends (kinks). If necessary, fit a new cable. As a test, try using the system with the trailing antenna supplied with the receiver. If you can now receive stations reasonably well, we recommend that you call out an expert antenna technician to check your antenna system.

The RDS station name does not appear in the display.

Cause 1:

The station is not broadcasting RDS information.

Cause 2:

The tuner is not tuned accurately to the station. Remedy:

Select only those stations which can be received with a strong signal: hiss-free and without interference.

DAB reception cuts out every thirty to sixty seconds, even though field strength (received signal strength) is high.

Cause 1:

The received signal is suffering interference, e.g. by a radio alarm network.

Remedy 1:

Re-orientate the aerial to reduce the effect of the interference.

Remedy 2:

Installing a bandpass filter in the aerial system can help to eliminate such interference.

Disc:

The message

'Servo firmware update available'

is displayed

Cause:

The device has detected a newer software version for the disc drive. Remedy: Install the newest disc drive firmware. For further information please see chapter 'Softwareupdate / Updating the disc drive' on page 66.

Use with active loudspeakers

The  features pre-amplifier outputs on the back panel (PRE OUT) for use with active loudspeakers. The  can be expanded to form a fully-featured 3.1 system by connecting a pair of active speakers and an active sub-woofer. In a 3.1 system the  acts as Centre speaker, and should therefore be set up close to the television. The  can also be operated exclusively with external active loudspeakers. In this case the integral speakers are unused. The desired mode of operation can be set in the System Configuration menu. See the chapter 'System settings (System Configuration menu) /

Loudspeakers' on page 43.

Automatic power-on for  active loudspeakers

If compatible  active speakers (see list below) are connected to the unit, they can be switched on and off by means of a switching voltage (trigger signal) via the Cinch cable. This eliminates the need for any additional control lead. See the chapter 'System settings (System Configuration menu) / Loudspeakers /  active speaker auto-on' on page 43.



If you connect different (active) loudspeakers or power amplifiers to the unit, the trigger voltage should be set to ‘Off’.

 active speaker with trigger function

 CM Active  CM Active Mini  KS Active

Automatic power on function for active speakers from other manufacturers

A trigger voltage (switching voltage) is available at the  E LINK socket (see Fig. 1) on the back panel of the . Active loudspeakers with a suitable

interface can be switched on and off under the control of this voltage. This feature enables immediate music playback, without any delay, and prevents the speakers being switched off when there are pauses in the music



The Trigger output has a high impedance (+5 V DC at 1 kOhm impedance), and therefore cannot directly control large switching loads such as power relays.
