3. Assembly

Basic assembly of this system is very easy to do. Please connect all components only when they are switched off.

● Connect the SMR from backside audio outputs to your audio system by the

supplied audio cable - or connect your headphone to the appropriate outputs at the left side of the SMR.

● Setup and connect your computer network, if required.

● Connect the SMR to the SMR power supply (DC connector).

● Before connections, check your mains power system to be appropriate to

the WAP-4500 power supply.

● Connect the power adaptor to mains supply.

● Switch on the main power switch at the right side of the SMR.

● Insert the Batteries into the BRC (refer item 4).

● Switch on the BRC by short press the Power button (6).

● A “Pairing“ screen appears. Select your SMR „WAP-4500“ and confirm by

OK button (7). by this, BRC and SMR are linked together (refer item 5).

● By another push on the Power button (6), the whole WAP-4500 system

(BRC and SMR) is switched into standby.

Switching standby on/off as well as volume and all other control functions of your WAP-4500 system can be done by the buttons of the BRC. The LC display in the BRC does not only display the received commands but it can also receive contents from SMR such as music track playback data, cover pictures etc, all displayed in the remote control right in your hand!

Since WAP-4500 can playback audio files from LAN, WLAN, Internet Radio and connected USB storages, there are various settings possible. Please read the related chapters to setup your WAP-4500 correctly for best performance with all sources.

Tip: please visit www.teac.de to check for new firmware for your WAP-4500. New firmware contains latest corrections and often it adds essential new features into your device!

-- We do recommend, always to update for the latest firmware! --

TEAC is always active to offer you the best possible features for your WAP4500!

4. BRC Battery installation

The BRC is powered by two “Mignon“ AA batteries. A fresth set of batteries can achieve several weeks of normal usage (base settings) thanks to the integrated energy saving functions of the WAP-4500 BRC.

We do recommend to utilize common Alkaline Batteries.

● The Battery compartment is placed at the back of the BRC cabinet.

● The battery cover slider can be unlocked by slight pushing the cover at the

dotted area and shifting down for apprx. 5mm. After unlocking, the cover can easily be removed.

● Please care to insert the batteries according to the markings in the battery

case and on the batteries itself. Wrong polarity might damage the BRC.

● Then lay the battery cover back on the opening and slide-in until you

recognize it was locked again.

● The BRC now is ready to use.

Note: It is possible to utilize rechargeable AA-type batteries (NiMH or NiCd). However, rechargeable batteries have higher self-discharge and less cell tension, causing shorter operation time. Therefore we do not recommend to use rechargeable batteries.

5. Pairing the BRC and SMR

The data interchange between BRC and SMR of the WAP-4500 is realized by a data radio transmission system. Benefits of the radio transmission are the definite identification between the connected partners and the transmission by radio signals, which do not require visible connection between transmitter and receiver. BRC and SMR can both transmit and receive data. You may even control your WAP-4500 from a neighbour room, if you placed your speakers there.

After first power on, the BRC shows a “pairing” screen. This screen appears when there is no known connection between BRC and SMR or in case you call it to add another new connection (refer item 7.1 Multiroom operation).

Place your BRC close to your SMR (< 1m). Select “Pair” to start the pairing procedure. BRC and SMR communicate to find a suitable connection. The procedure takes apprx one minute. In case the BRC found more than one WAP SMR base station, select your WAP-4500 SMR by the scrollbar and confirm your selection by short pressing the right softbutton (4) or the OK button (7).

Now you will be back to the main menu which displays the name of the selected SMR device at the head of the menu list.

Note: In case you have more than one WAP device in your environment, the wireless radio system ensures only the one paired SMR is controlled by the paired BRC at a time!
