General Information

1. For additional connection information, refer to the

owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected

to the m330 Media Server.

2. When the m330 Media Server is connected to an
audio system, playback of music already stored
on it may be listened to. To take full advantage
of the many features the m330 is capable of, such
as importing and storing additional music on the
Media Server, requires connection to a Computer
Network System.

3. For best performance, the speed of the Computer
Network the m330 Media Server would be con­nected to should be 1 Gigabit or faster.

4. The m330 internal Digital to Analog Converter
Circuitry is designed to decode 2-channel PCM

(Pulse Code Modulation) Digital Signals. The

Digital Output Signal present at the Coaxial and
Optical Output Connectors is a 2-channel PCM

(Pulse Code Modulation).

5. The m330 is designed to be compatible with the
majority of Audio Power Amplifiers. However,
do to a wide range of Power Amplifier Designs, it
is important the input sensitivity of the amplifier
be at least 2 Volts. This will assure the playback
of most music recordings are reproduced with
adequate dynamic range. Check with your Wadia
Dealer for additional information.

6. The IR Input, with a 3.5mm mini phone jack, is
configured for non-Wadia IR sensors such as a
Xantech Model HL85BK Kit. Use a Connection
Block, such as a Xantech Model ZC21, when two
or more IR sensors need to be connected to the
m330.

7. When discarding the unit, comply with local rules
or regulations. Batteries should never be
thrown away or incinerated but disposed
of in accordance with the local regulations

concerning battery disposal.

8. If it should become necessary to replace the sup­plied AC / DC Power Adapter,
order part number 32056300
from the Wadia Parts Depart­ment.

9. For additional information on
other Wadia Products and the downloadable m330
“Advanced Setup and Operation Guide” please
visit the Wadia Web Site at www.Wadia.com.

10. Mobile Device Apps, for remote control opera­tion of the m330, were not available at the time
this Owner’s Manual was printed. When the Apps
become available, an announcement will be made
on the Wadia Web Site at www.Wadia.com/en-us/
products/m330. Please note, for remote operation
via mobile devices the m330 needs to be connect­ed to a home network with wi-fi capabilities.

Installation

The m330 is designed to be placed upright on a table
or shelf, standing on its feet. The ventilation require­ments are shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your m330.
Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating
life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the
m330 directly above a heat generating device, such

as a Power Amplifier. Allow at least 2 inches (5.1cm)
above the top, 5/8 inches (1.6cm) below the bottom
and 1 inch (2.5cm) on each side of the m330, so that
airf low is not obstructed. Allow 20 inches (50.8cm) of

depth for airflow and cable connections.
