Welcome.
We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a product. With your new you have acquired a top-
quality piece of equipment which has been designed and developed with the wishes of the audiophile music lover as
absolute top priority.
The is a multi-source device which provides facilities for playing BluRay, DVD, CD, VHF tuner, DAB+ (digital
radio) and Internet radio. It also offers connection facilities for analogue and digital input signals, and can be expanded
to form a 3.1 system when used in conjunction with active loudspeakers.
This system represents our very best efforts at designing practical electronic equipment incorporating solid quality, user-
friendly operation and a specification and performance which leaves nothing to be desired.
All these factors contribute to a piece of equipment which will satisfy your highest demands and your most searching
requirements for a period of many years. All the components we use meet the German and European safety norms and
standards which are currently valid. All the materials we use are subject to painstaking quality monitoring.
At all stages of production we avoid the use of substances which are environmentally unsound or potentially hazardous
to health, such as chlorine-based cleaning agents and CFCs.
We also aim to avoid the use of plastics in general, and PVC in particular, in the design of our products. Instead we rely
upon metals and other non-hazardous materials; metal components are ideal for recycling, and also provide effective
electrical screening.
Our robust all-metal cases exclude any possibility of external sources of interference affecting the quality of
reproduction. From the opposite point of view our products’ electro-magnetic radiation (electro-smog) is reduced to an
absolute minimum by the outstandingly effective screening provided by the metal case.
Our range of accessories includes high-quality cables and connectors
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the faith you have shown in our company by purchasing this pro-
duct, and wish you many hours of enjoyment and sheer listening pleasure with your .

About these instructions
All the controls and functions of the which are frequently used are described in the first section of these
operating instructions.
The second part - 'Basic settings, Installation, Using the system for the first time' covers connections and settings which
are very seldom required; they are generally required only when the machine is set up and used for the first time. Here you will
also find a detailed description of the network settings required forconnecting the to your home network.
For newcomers to networks we have prepared explanations of some of the important terms used in this technology and
other background information in the Chapter 'Network Terminology'.
Symbols used in these instructions

Caution!
Text passages marked with this symbol contain important information which must be observed if the
machine is to operate safely and without problems.

This symbol marks text passages which provide supplementary notes and background information; they
are intended to help the user understand how to get the best out of the machine.

Multi-Source System
Controls
All the ’s important functions can be operated using the buttons on the machine’s front panel. Direct operating
buttons are provided for basic functions such as selecting sources and tracks, whereas more rarely required functions
are controlled by means of menus which are called up using the and buttons.
The integral screen constantly displays all the information relating to the machine’s current state, the track currently
playing and the radio station currently tuned. The main item of information is emphasised on the screen in a context-
sensitive manner, so that you can see it clearly from a distance. The following section describes the functions of the
front panel buttons and the screen information in greater detail.
On / Off switch
 
(On and Off switch)
A brief press on the button switches the machine on and off.

Caution!
The ON button is not an isolation switch. Certain parts of the machine
remain connected to mains voltage even when the screen is switched off
and dark. If you know you will not be using the machine for a long period,
we recommend that you disconnect it from the mains by withdrawing the
mains plug from the wall socket.
Please see the chapter entitled 'Notes on Energy Saving' for details of
power consumption.
Slumber-function

selectable time interval between 15 minutes and 2 hours. This selection can be
done in steps of 15 minutes.
Activate slumber function
While the is powered up keep the key of the remote control or
the key of its front panel pressed until the display shows the slumber
time.
Change the slumber time
While the slumber function is active the slumber time can be modified in steps
of 15 minutes using the / -keys. Any change comes immediately
into effect.
Turn off slumber function
While the slumber function is active it can be turned off by keeping one of the
keys or pressed until the displaying of the slumber time is not
shown any longer on the display. Alternatively the slumber function is also
ended when the is switched off.

Basic Functions of the 
The basic functions of the , described in this chapter are always available, regardless of the selected source.
Switching sources
The source buttons on the front panel or the remote control handset are used
to select the desired internal source (Disc Player, VHF radio / DAB+, Bluetooth,
Streaming Client) or an external source (Analogue in, Digital in and TV in) for
playback.
Once the has switched to the appropriate source, internal sources can
be operated using the remote control handset or the front panel buttons.
Please refer to the following chapters for details of operating the individual
source devices.
Volume control
The volume of the can be adjusted in fine increments using the
/ buttons on the front panel, or the - + button on the
remote control handset. A brief press on one volume button increases or
reduces the volume by one increment. Holding one of the volume buttons
pressed in causes the volume to change continuously.
Tone settings (Tone menu)
FM100

The features a range of facilities for adjusting the sound to suit your
personal preferences, the system’s location and your room acoustics. All sound
settings are grouped together in the tone control menu (TONE menu).
The tone control menu is called up using either the buttons on the
remote control handset or on the machine itself using the menu point Tone
(tone control settings) in the menu.
The individual menu points may offer different set-up options depending on the
type of reproduction, i.e. via the integral speakers or external loudspeakers. The
features of the tone control menu are explained in detail in the next section.




Tone settings



Some points in the Sound menu only appear if the associated option is switched
on in the System menu.

13
Menu point
Adjustment range options:
Explanation:
Balance
61L ... 0 ... 61R
This menu point is used for altering the level
balance between the left and right
loudspeakers, in order to compensate for an
imperfect listening position.
The level balance can be adjusted in
increments of 1 dB; the current value is
displayed on-screen.
Tone Control
off / on
This menu point can be used to disable (by-
pass) the ' s tone controls.
To switch off the tone controls, select the
“OFF” setting. When the tone controls are
switched off, any adjustments you make to the
following menu points “BASS” and “TREBLE”
have no effect.
Treble
Bass
-12 ... 0 ... +12
These two menu points are used to alter the
treble and bass settings. The value affects the
internal loudspeakers and any external
speakers connected to the system.
Center
(This menu point only appears if
the menu point Caruso + external
is selected in the System Con-
figuration / Loudspeaker menu.)
-15 ... 0 ... +15
This menu point allows you to alter the
balance between the loudspeakers of the
and any external loudspeakers
connected to the system.
Ext. Subwoofer
(This menu point only appears if
an external sub-woofer is
connected, and it is switched on
in the System Configuration /
Loudspeaker menu.)
-15 ... 0 ... +15
The volume of the sub-woofer can be adjusted
at this point. Adjust the volume of the sub-
woofer to suit the acoustic conditions of the
listening room, and the volume of the other
channels.
Loudness
off / on
The features a volume-dependent
tone correction system (LOUDNESS) which
compensates for the frequency-dependent
variation in the sensitivity of the ear at very low
volume levels due to the physiology of the
human auditory system.
This set-up option is used to switch loudness on
or off.

14
Tone (sound fields)
The following set-up options are available if the internal loudspeakers of the
are used for playback.
(See the ‘System Configuration menu / Loudspeaker menu’ for the method of
switching to the internal loudspeakers)
Normal
Linear tone control, without equalisation, suitable for using the system on
sideboards and similar locations.
Smooth
If you prefer a relaxed sound image with slight de-emphasis on the treble,
select the Soft sound field option.
Near
If the listening distance to the is very small (<1.5 m), we recommend
the Close setting (close-range equalisation)
Speech
This option improves the comprehensibility of speech in spoken word
programs, reportage and sports transmissions.
Shelf
If the is set up in a confined position close to shelf walls, the result
may be excessive emphasis on low frequencies; this can be corrected by
selecting the SHELF set-up option.
Table
Setting up the system on a table with a large top can cause particular
frequency ranges to be amplified. This problem can be corrected by selecting
the Table set-up option.
The following set-up options are available if the is operated in
conjunction with external loudspeakers.
(See the ‘System Configuration menu / Loudspeaker menu’ for the method of
switching to external loudspeakers.)
Normal
Wall
Corner
Positioning loudspeakers close to a wall or corner has the effect of
emphasising the low frequencies, which can result in an unnatural, bass-heavy
sound image. Excessive bass emphasis caused by speaker positioning can be
corrected in this menu point by selecting one of the set-up options Wall or
Corner.

15
Alarm Timer
The machine features an integral Timer module which is capable of switching
the on with a selectable source at a programmable time (alarm clock).
Three times can be programmed.

A long press on the button in 'App' or 'Comfort' standby calls up the
Alarm Timer menu even when the machine is switched off (Comfort standby);
you can then make any changes you like without having to switch the system
