Design of the device
▶ Connect the FM / DAB + cable antenna to the device (page 11 / item 14).
▶ Connect your speakers. You can either loose the screw connection and connect the stripped cable end or
connect the loudspeakers cables with banana plugs directly into the connections (page 11 / point 3a and
3b). They can be connected to the CVR-100 + MKII two dierent loudspeaker pairs, one pair on the „A“ to the
marked connections and one on the terminals labelled „B“. Make sure you have the correct polarity of the
positive (red) and negative (black). If you want to connect two pairs of speakers to „A“ and „B“ in a parallel
operation, both loudspeaker pairs must have at least 8 ohms.
▶ 3. If you need additional input sources such as from the tape deck, TV, DVD player, satellite recei-
ver or disk players, connect these devices to the corresponding input jack of the CVR-100 + MKII using
suitable cables. For this purpose, you have 3 analogue inputs (TV, AUX, DVD), 1 analogue Phono in-
put with a preamplifier for record players with MM system (connect them eventually to an availab-
le earthing-conductor cable with the ground screw connection) and four digital grounding cables
(3x optical and 1x coaxial) are available (page 11 / item 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 5 And 6). In addition, an analogue
line-in connection is also provided at the front.
▶ When using an external device to record the signal sources of your CVR-100 + MKII, please connect this unit
to the REC-OUT jack. This output emits an unregulated signal without volume control or sound regulation
from the CVR-100 + MKII.
▶ If you want to use another (high end) amplifier or an active subwoofer on the CVR-100 + MKII, please con-
nect it to the pre-out jacks of the CVR-100 + MKII (page 11 / item 7). This output emits a signal from the
CVR-100 + MKII influenced in volume and tone control.
▶ When connecting your CVR-100 + MKII wireless over an existing WLAN to the Internet, please install the
supplied WLAN aerial (page 11 / item 17).
▶ When connecting your CVR-100 + MKII to the Internet via Ethernet (wired), please connect your router using
the RJ-45 cable to the Ethernet socket of the CVR-100 + MKII (page 11 / item 15).
▶ Connect the power cable to the device and to a power outlet (page 11 / item 1).
