MR1 mk2

EN-2
Thank you for choosing our MR1 mk2 active Bluetooth speakers.
Ruark Audio began life as specialists in high-delity speaker systems and
this passion for sound quality lies at the heart of all our products. The original
MR1 won accolades from press and public alike for their rich sound and
good looks, and the mark 2 edition ensures these gorgeous little speakers
remain bang up to date. They look and sound better than ever, are even
easier to use, and now feature optical input too.
Please take the time to read this user guide as it will help you to set them
up and get the best performance from them. With due care, the MR1 should
give you years of listening pleasure.
We love our MR1 and we hope you will too!

DA-2
Tak fordi du har valgt vores MR1 mk2 aktive Bluetooth-højttalere.
Ruark Audio begyndte sit liv som specialister indenfor hi--højttalersystemer
og denne passion for lyd er kernen i alle vores produkter. De originale MR1
højttalere blev hyldet af både pressen og offentligheden for deres fyldige lyd
og gode udseende og mark 2 udgaven sikrer, at disse lækre små højttalere
forbliver helt up to date. De er ottere, og lyder bedre, end nogensinde før, er
endnu nemmere at bruge og har nu også optisk indgang.
Tag dig venligst tid til at læse denne brugervejledning, da den vil hjælpe dig
med at opstille dem og få den bedste præstation. Hvis du behandler dem
med omtanke, skulle MR1'erne give dig lytteglæde i mange år.
Vi elsker vores MR1 højttalere og håber, at du også vil!

5 Opsætning
1 Placering af højttalere
For den bedste stereogengivelse skal venstre og
højre højttaler placeres ikke mindre end 60cm fra
hinanden med lydstyrkekontrollen til højre. Undgå
objekter foran højttalerne og sørg ligeledes for, at
undersiden af højttalerne er fri for forhindringer.
2 Tilslut højttalerne til hinanden
Tilslut de to højttalere med forbindelseskablet, sæt
den ene ende ind i udgangen på den højre højttaler
og den anden ende ind i indgangsstikket på den
venstre højttaler.
3 Tilslut til netspænding
Sæt det korrekte stik for din region i
netspændingsadaptoren, den vil “klikke” på plads.
Tilslut netspændingsadaptoren til jævnstrømsstikket
på bagsiden af MR1 og tilslut den derefter til
stikkontakten og tænd den, hvis behørigt.
4 Tænd for højttalerne
Tryk på kontrolknappen, eller på standby-knappen
på fjernbetjeningen. Når der tændes for første
gang, vil MR1'erne blive tændt i Bluetooth-mode og
automatisk gå i parringstilstand (blå LED blinker).
5Skift kilde
Tryk på kontrolknappen for at skifte mellem
Bluetooth, Aux-indgang og Optisk.
6Indstil lydstyrken
Drej lydstyrkekontrolknappen med uret for at hæve
lydstyrken og mod uret for at sænke den, eller
brug lydstyrkeknapperne på fjernbetjeningen. Når
den maksimale eller minimale lydstyrke nås, vil
statusindikator-LED'en slukke midlertidigt.
7 Standby
Tryk og hold ned på kontrolknappen i 1-2 sek. indtil
kilde-LED'en slukker, eller tryk på standby-knappen
på fjernbetjeningen.

8 Bluetooth
For at streame lyd fra en Bluetooth-lydenhed skal du
først parre den med dine MR1 højttalere.
Par og tilslut din enhed
1 Vælg Bluetooth-mode på dine MR1 højttalere
Tryk gentagne gange på kontrolknappen indtil den
blå Bluetooth-LED lyser; den vil begynde at blinke,
hvilket viser, at dine MR1 højttalere venter på at parre
med en Bluetooth-lydenhed.
2 Par din Bluetooth-lydenhed
Gå til indstillinger på din lydenhed, tænd for
Bluetooth og vælg “RUARK MR1” fra enhedslisten
(det kan tage nogle få sekunder, før de kommer til
syne). Når dine MR1 højttalere er parret og tilsluttet,
vil den blå LED skifte til konstant blå.
3 Start musikafspilning på din Bluetooth-enhed
Du skal måske vælge “Ruark MR1” eller Bluetooth
som din afspilningsenhed.
Auto-tilslutning
Dine MR1 højttalere vil automatisk forsøge at tilslutte sig
til den sidst tilsluttede Bluetooth-enhed.
Driftsområde
MR1-højttalerne vil typisk fungere op til 10 meter fra
Bluetooth-lydenheden, men forhindringer, som f.eks.
vægge, vil reducere dette.
Frakobling af en anordning
Tryk på kontrolknappen eller på Bluetooth-knappen på
fjernbetjeningen. Det vil frakoble den aktuelle enhed,
den blå LED vil blinke og dine MR1 højttalere vil være
parat til at parre eller tilslutte igen.
Parring af yderligere enheder til MR1 højttalerne
Du kan parre op til 8 enheder, selvom du kun vil kunne
afspille lyd fra en enhed ad gangen.
Sletning af parre-liste
Tryk og hold ned på kontrolknappen i 5 sek., indtil alle 3
LED'er lyser. Det kan også være nødvendig at ophæve
eller slette “Ruark MR1” indlæsningen i din enheds
Bluetooth parre-liste.
Lydstyrke
Lydstyrken på din Bluetooth lydenhed og dine MR1
højttalere vil forblive uafhængige af hinanden, vi
anbefaler, at lydstyrken dreje til tæt på maksimal på din
lydenhed og kontrollere udgangslydstyrken kontrolleres
på MR1 højttaleren.
