Welcome.
We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a product. With your new MP 8 you
have acquired a top-quality piece of equipment which has been designed and developed with the
wishes of discerning listeners as absolute top priority.
This system represents our very best efforts at designing practical electronic equipment
incorporating solid quality, user-friendly 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 product, and wish you many hours of enjoyment and sheer listening pleasure
with your MP 8.

Operating the UPnP source
(Streaming Client)
General
information on
the streaming
client
The MP 8 features what is known as a ‘streaming client’. This facility
makes it possible to play music files stored on PCs or servers (NAS)
within the network.
The media content formats which the MP 8 can reproduce are very wideranging, and extend from compressed formats such as MP3, AAC and
OGG Vorbis to high-quality non-compressed data formats such as FLAC,
ALAC, AIFF and WAV, which are thoroughly audiophile in nature. 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.

Operating the Bluetooth source
The MP 8’s integral Bluetooth interface provides a means of transferring
music wirelessly from devices such as smart-phones, tablet PCs, iPods,
etc. to the MP 8
For a successful audio Bluetooth transfer from a mobile device to the
MP 8 the mobile device must support the A2DP Bluetooth audio transfer
protocol.
Selecting
Bluetooth
Briefly press the button on the FM8 remote control handset, or
the button on the MP 8 - repeatedly if necessary - until the
source “Bluetooth” is displayed on the screen.
Setting up
audio transfer
Before music from a Bluetooth-capable device can be played through the
MP 8, the external device must first be registered to the MP 8. As long as
the MP 8 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 MP 8, make the connection to your mobile
device.
Once the connection is successfully established, the message on the
MP 8’s screen switches to “connected to YOUR DEVICE”.
If your device requests a PIN code, this is always “0000”.
Due to the large number of different equipment on the market, we are
only able to provide a general description for setting up the radio
connection. For detailed information please refer to the operating
instructions supplied with your device.
Playback
functions
Information on the piece of music being played is displayed on the
integral screen of the connected mobile device. If possible we
recommend that you leave the screen backlight switched on permanently
to ensure that it is clearly legible.
Some Bluetooth devices which support the AVRCP protocol can be
controlled by MP 8’s FM8 remote control handset.
The behaviour and method of operating the connected mobile device are
determined by the device itself. In general terms the function of the
buttons the FM8 remote control handset are as follows:
Starting playback
Press the -button on the remote control handset or the
button on the machine’s front panel to start playback.
Stopping playback
A long press on the button of the FM8 or a brief press on the
button on the MP 8`s front panel halts playback.
Page 37
37
Skipping tracks
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.
Please note that many AVRCP-capable mobile devices do not support
the controlling through the MP 8. In case of doubt, please ask the
manufacturer of your mobile device.
Notes
The MP 8 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 MP 8 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 MP 8 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 MP 8 instead of Bluetooth.

Loudspeaker
and signal
cables
Loudspeaker cables and signal cables (inter-connects) have a
significant influence on the overall reproduction quality of your sound
system, and their importance should not be under-estimated. For this
reason recommends the use of high-quality cables and
connectors.
Our accessory range includes a series of excellent cables and
connectors whose properties are carefully matched to our speakers
and electronic units, and which harmonise outstandingly well with
them.
For difficult and cramped situations the range also includes
special-length cables and special-purpose connectors (e. g. rightangled versions) which can be used to solve almost any problem
concerning connections and system location.
Changing the
batteries
The FM8 is fitted with an internal rechargeable battery (Li-Ion battery),
which cannot be removed or replaced by the user. If you eventually
notice that the battery only retains a little of its original capacity, and
the period you can use the FM8 is greatly reduced, then it is time to
contact your dealer and ask him to fit a replacement battery.
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.

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
Cause 1:
Mains lead not plugged in correctly.
Remedy:
Check connection, push connector in firmly.
Machine cannot be
controlled by IR remote
control.
Cause 1:
The integrated battery of the FM8 is empty.
Remedy:
For charging connect the FM8 to the USB IN socket of the
MP 8.
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-ofsight 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.
App cannot find the
device in powered off
state.
Cause:
Energy saver is switched on.
Remedy:
Switch off the Energy saver function in the system
configuration menu.
The streaming client
cannot connect to a

Cause 2 (wireless LAN):
WLAN antenna not connected or placed in a location with bad
reception quality
Remedy:
Connect WLAN antenna properly and find a location with good
reception quality.
Set the transmission power output of your WLAN router to
maximum.
Try to establish a network connection first in a location close to
the WLAN router. If this succeeded try to connect to WLAN
from a more remote location. Experiment with antenna position
and try to find a location with better reception quality.
Page 57
57
Cause 3 (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 4:
Network parameters not properly configured.
Remedy:
Configure the network parameters correctly (see chapter
'Network configuration').
Cause 5 (operation without network connection):
For proper operation the MP 8 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 8 shall be operated without network (LAN / WLAN)
please connect at least a USB stick.
The device does not work
correctly in combination
with the DAC 8 DSD.
Cause 1:
The SYS connection between the two devices is not
established correctly.
Remedy:
Connect the SYS-Out socket of the MP 8 to the SYS-In socket
of the DAC 8 DSD.
Cause 2:

Notes on Energy Saving
General
information
The MP 8 satisfies 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 8 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
(Energy saver)
The device features an automatic power-down function. If the MP 8
detects no operation or no music signal for a period longer than ninety
minutes, it automatically switches to stand-by mode. Two minutes before
the device enters the standby mode, a pop-up window appears on the
screen. If the device should stay in operation please press the
button while this message is displayed.
In countries outside the EU, in which the EuP directive has no validity,
the automatic power-down feature can be disabled if necessary (see
chapter entitled “Basic settings of the MP 8”).
