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 qua­lied 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 specications 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.

Where the equipment is to be used for other purposes, especially in the medical eld or any eld in which safety is an issue, it is essential to establish the unit’s suitability for this purpose with the manufacturer, and to obtain prior written approval for this usage.
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.
perate climate and altitudes up to 2000 m above sea level. The range of permissible operating temperatures is +10 … +35°C. This device is designed exclusively for reproducing sound and/or pictures in the domestic environment. It is to be used in a dry indoor room which meets all the recom­mendations stated in these instructions.
Before placing the unit on sensitive lacquer or wood surfaces please check the compatibility of the surface and the unit‘s feet on a non-visible point and if ne­cessary use an underlay. We recommend a surface of stone, glass, metal or the like.
Please consider the weight of the device. Never place the device on an unstable surface; the machine could fall off, causing serious or even fatal injury. Many injuries, especially to children, can be avoided if the following simple safety precautions are observed:
•Use only such items of furniture which can safely bear the weight of the device.
•Ensure that the device does not project beyond the edges of the supporting furniture.
•Do not place the device on tall furniture (e.g. books­helves) without securely anchoring both items, i.e. furniture and device.
•Explain to children the hazards involved in climbing on furniture to reach the device or its controls.
The unit should be set up in a well ventilated dry 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 ammable.
The ventilation openings must not be covered or closed. If the system components are to be stacked then the device must be the top unit. Do not place any object on the top cover.
When installing the unit on a shelf or in a cupboard it is essential to provide an adequate ow 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 free space of 10 cm around the unit for ventilation.
Liquid or particles must never be allowed to get inside the unit through the ventilation slots. Mains voltage is present inside the unit, and any electric shock could cause serious injury or death.

Disconnect the mains plug at the wall socket before cleaning the case. 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.
If the device has been in storage, or has not been used for a protracted period (> two years), it is essential to have it checked by a specialist technician before re­use.
The terminals (marked with the -symbol)
Always avoid touching terminals and sockets and the conductors of cables connected to them. Unless ready-made cables are used, all cables connected to these terminals and sockets must always be deployed by a trained person.
By attaching the CE symbol to the unit T+A declares its conformity the EC directives and the national laws based on those directives. The declaration of confor­mity can be downloaded from www.ta-hi.com/DoC. The original, unaltered factory serial number must be present on the outside of the unit and must be clearly legible! The serial number is a constituent part of our conformity declaration and therefore of the approval for operation of the device. The serial numbers on the unit and in the original T+A documentation supplied with it (in particular the inspection and guarantee cer­ticates), must not be removed or modied, and must correspond. Infringing any of these conditions invalidates T+A conformity and approval, and the unit may not be ope­rated within the EC. Improper use of the equipment makes the user liable to penalty under current EC and national laws. Any modications or repairs to the unit, or any other intervention by a workshop or other third party not authorised by T+A, invalidates the approval and ope­rational permit for the equipment. Only genuine T+A accessories may be connected to the unit, or such auxiliary devices which are themsel­ves approved and full all currently valid legal require­ments.
can carry high voltages.
In its original condition the unit meets all currently valid European regulati­ons. It is approved for use as stipulated within the EC.

Replacing the battery

To change the battery of the remote control, rst remove the two screws shown in Figure 1. Then remove the battery holder by pulling it downwards. Insert a new CR 2032 battery into the battery holder according to the marking ( + on the battery facing downwards). Now insert the holder as shown and use two screws to fasten the holder.

Range

When operating by remote control, please hold the FM200 in the direction of the remote control receiver. The range of the remote control is approx. 4..5 m. The line of sight between FM200 and the remote control receiver must not be interrupted by obstacles. The direct incidence of interfering light (e.g. from uore­scent and energy-saving lamps) into the receiver should be avoided at all times, as otherwise the range of the remote control can be considerably reduced.

Important information

• The remote control handset supplied in the set contains a button cell battery.
j
• Do not swallow the battery: chemical burn hazard. If this button cell is ingested, within two hours it may
cause serious internal chemical burning which could result in death
• 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.

Favourites list

General information

The MP 200 includes the facility to create Favourites lists. The purpose of these lists is to store radio stations and podcasts, so that they can be accessed swiftly. Each of the sources FM radio, DAB radio, and Internetradio features its own Favourites list. Once stored, the favourites can either be selected from the Favourites list, or called up directly by entering the program location number. The option of selecting using the location number is particu­larly useful when you wish to call up favourites when the screen is not in view (e.g. from an adjacent room) or using a house control system.
Favourites lists for the various music services (TIDAL etc.) are not supported.
j
Instead it is usually possible to add Favourites and Playlists on-line via the provider’s account. These can then be called up and played via the MP 200.

Troubleshooting

Many problems have a simple cause and a correspondingly simple solution. The following section describes a few difculties 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. Remedy: Enter the system settings menu and enable the disabled source.

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 congured. Remedy: Congure the network parameters correctly (see chapter ‚Network conguration‘).
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 satises 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“.
