Welcome
We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a
T+A product. Your new Multi-Source-Player is a Hi-Fi
unit of the highest quality, designed and developed
with a single aim as top priority: to satisfy the requirements of the audiophile music lover.
This unit is the embodiment of innovative thinking
and solid quality, exploiting the nest materials and
components available, and all these factors contribute
to a machine which will satisfy you‘re most stringent
demands and your most searching requirements for a
period of many years.
Our production areas are supervised by highly qualied expert staff, and all nal production units are
checked comprehensively by a fully automated,
computer-controlled system to ensure uniformly high
quality. We guarantee that our products meet our own
specications to the full.
At all stages of production we avoid the use of substances which are environmentally unsound or po-
tentially 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.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for
the faith you have shown in our company by purchasing this product, and wish you many hours of enjoyment and sheer listening pleasure with your MP 200.

• If you suspect that someone might have swallowed a battery, or that a battery could have entered any
part of the body, seek immediate medical assistance.
• If the battery is replaced improperly, there is danger of explosion. Always replace batteries by batteries
of the same or an equivalent type.
• Keep new and used batteries well away from children.
• If you cannot close the battery compartment securely, cease using the product, and keep it away from
children.
• Batteries shout not be exposed to excessive heat like sunshine, re or the like.
26
• Very low air pressure may result in explosion of the battery, or leakage of ammable liquids or gases.
• Protect the remote control from humidity, coldness, heat and dust.
• 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.

Troubleshooting
Many problems have a simple cause and a correspondingly simple solution. The following section describes a few
difculties you may encounter, and the measures you need to take to cure them. If you nd it impossible to solve
a problem with the help of these notes please disconnect the unit from the mains and ask your authorised T+A
specialist dealer for advice.
Machine does not switch on
Cause:
Mains leads not plugged in correctly.
Remedy:
Check connection, push connector in rmly.
Device responds correctly to operation via the buttons directly on the device, but
cannot be operated by remote control
Cause:
The battery of the FM200 remote control is completely discharged.
Remedy:
Insert a new battery as described in the Remote control chapter.
The RDS station name and/or the Radio Text does not appear in the display.
Cause 1:
Reception is poor, interference is severe, or the eld strength (signal strength) is low.
Remedy:
Select only those stations which can be received with a strong signal: hiss-free and without interference.
Cause 2:
The display view is in the large format setting.
Remedy:
Switch to the detailed display view using the i key on the device. If necessary, tap several times to switch
on the radio text.
One or more sources cannot be selected via the source selection buttons on the
device and the remote control
Cause :
The source in question has been disabled.

49
Page 50
Transmission interruptions occur when listening to internet radio stations.
Cause:
The capacity of the internet radio station‘s server is at its limit.
Remedy:
Choose a different station.
The streaming client cannot connect to a network.
Cause 1 (cable LAN):
Network cable not properly connected
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 nd a location with good reception quality.
Set the transmission power output of your WLAN router to maximum.
Try to establish a network connection rst 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 nd a
location with better reception quality.
Cause 3 (wireless LAN):
WLAN reception quality bad (low eld 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:
Network parameters not properly congured.
Remedy:
Congure the network parameters correctly (see chapter ‚Network conguration‘).
Cause 5 (operation without network connection):
For proper operation the MP 200 needs at least one properly connected network device. This can be a
LAN or WLAN network or a USB storage device.
Remedy:
If the MP 200 shall be operated without network (LAN / WLAN) please connect at least a USB stick.
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 le system.
Remedy:
The MP 200 accepts storage devices with FAT16 or FAT32, NTFS, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4 le systems.

Notes on energy saving
General information
The MP 200 satises the requirements of the latest directives concerning energy-saving 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 MP 200 is less than 0.5 Watt.
If you intend not to use the device for a long period, it should be disconnected from the mains socket, i.e.
the mains plug should be withdrawn from the wall socket.
Automatic power down function
The device features an automatic power-down function. If the MP 200 detects no operation or no music
signal for a period longer than 90 minutes, it automatically switches to stand-by mode
In countries outside the EU, in which the EuP directive has no validity, the automatic power-down feature can
j
be disabled if necessary. See chapter „System settings“.
