M-Port™
Using M-Port™
Revo’s M-Port™technology allows for
quick and easy connection of an iPod®,
similar MP3 player or sound source.
Using the connection lead supplied, Uno™
is transformed into a high quality digital
audio speaker system.
Connect one end of the supplied audio
lead to the headphone (or auxiliary out)
socket of your source device, then
connect the other end to the M-Port™
on the side of Uno™.
Uno’s LCD screen will now display the
words “M-Port Active”.
You should adjust the output volume level
on both the source device and on Uno™
itself to gain optimal volume levels and
sound performance.
We suggest that you set Uno’s volume to
‘18’, then control the overall volume of
your music by adjusting the volume level
on the source device.

Trouble-Shooting
Q. I hear a ‘burbling’ noise on some
stations.
A. If the signal strength is too low, a break-
up in reception can occur. This sound is
the result. Make sure that Uno’s
antenna is fully extended and in an
upright position. If the problem persists,
move Uno™ to another location or check
that you are in an area where reception
of this station is possible (visit
www.ukdigitalradio.com/coverage to
check).
Q. I get a ‘?’ before some stations in my
station list, and don’t seem to be able to
select them.
A. ‘?’ before a station name means that it is
either inactive or unavailable. This can
be because they are not currently
broadcasting, you are outside their
broadcast area or you have simply lost
reception. To remove inactive or
unavailable stations press the MENU
button and go to the ‘Prune Stations’
option (available through the Station
Order menu).
Q. I get a ‘No stations available’ message?
A. Make sure that your antenna is fully
extended and vertical. Check the signal
strength and move your Uno™ to
another location if necessary.
Q. I get a ‘clock not set’ message.
A. Uno™ needs to be able to pick-up a DAB
signal to set its clock, since the time is
taken from a radio station broadcast.
Try turning Uno™ on and pressing the
SCAN button. If Uno™ can find a DAB
station, it can then set its clock.
