Preface
Preface
Dear Trigon Customer,
We are delighted that you have chosen the Chronolog. This device was
manufactured under the strictest manufacturing controls and is an exemplary
example of the latest in precision technology. Even if you are very experi-
enced in working with Hi-Fi devices, we still recommend that you study this
Operating Manual closely and follow the instructions contained in it. Please
keep this manual in a safe place because it is sure to prove to be a valuable
source of information going forward, as you work with your audio player The
Trigon-Team hopes that you get many years of enjoyment from your new

1. General Device Description
1. General Device Description
The Chronolog is an audio player that has been designed for playing the
highest quality digital media. The Chronolog will enable you to get the max-
imum possible audio enjoyment from your musical treasures. The Chronolog
copies the music from the CD onto an internal Solid State Drive (SSD) and
then plays it from there. This means that you can keep your CDs safely in their
cases, without the risk of them being damaged through use. The best way to
operate your Chronolog is through a tablet computer. We recommend using
the Tablet computers (iPad) from Apple as this impressed us most in terms
of speed and usability. But other tablet computers are available and can also
be used. You can equally well operate your Chronolog through any other
device that has a browser that supports the use of Java Scripts. As a rule, this
covers all modern devices with a browser.

1. General Device Description
1.1 Safety advice
• The TrigonElektronik GmbH Company assumes no liability for any
damage caused by improper use and by non-compliance with the following
safety instructions.
• The Chronolog must not be placed in the immediate proximity of heat
sources such as radiators, stoves, high-performance lighting, open flames,
etc.
• The Chronolog must not be subjected to any violent impacts or
vibration.
• The Chronolog must not be connected to mains power immediately
after having been moved from a cold environment into a warm room. A
build up of condensation could damage the device. Wait for some time
until the device has warmed up to the ambient temperature.
•The Chronologmust not be exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
• You should ensure that there is adequate ventilation available at the
location where the Chronolog is positioned.
•Do not operate the Chronolog without its protective housing.
• Always unplug the Chronolog from the mains supply before opening
it.
• Never bypass the fuse. A faulty fuse must always be replaced by one of
the same type and value.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to carry out any repairs
yourself. Any maintenance and/or repairs may only be carried out by
authorised personnel who received special training. Any possible claims
on the warranty are rendered null and void in the event of any improper
handling or in the case of unauthorised third-party interventions.
• The Chronolog must always be switched off before unplugging it or
before attaching any connection cables.
•The mains power may be between 100 V and 240 V.
• You should only use accessories/extensions with the Chronolog that
are recommended for the purpose by the manufacturer.

1. General Device Description
•The housing should only be cleaned using a lightly dampened cloth. No
abrasive cleaning fluids or scouring agents should be used. Always unplug
the device from the mains power during cleaning for safety reasons. You
should also ensure that you do not accidentally damage or loosen any
cables while cleaning. Check that all cables are securely connected before
connecting the Chronolog to the mains power again.
• Warning! You must ensure that at no time can liquids end up inside the
device!

1.2 Installation advice
After unpacking the device, please check your Chronolog for any signs of
transport damage. In the unlikely event that you identify some damage, please
contact your dealer immediately. Then check the contents of the packaging to
ensure that everything is there. Apart from the Chronolog you should aslo
find:
•ATrigon Volt power cable
•A dongle
•A DVI - VGA adapter
•Two WLAN antennae
•A warranty claims form
The device should be installed in a horizontal position at a dry location. Make
sure there is good ventilation. Strong magnetic scatter fields such as those
produced by halogen lamp transformers can lead to humming interference. For
this reason, your should install your Chronolog away from such devices. Also,
the connection cables should not be laid next to lighting cables. Luminescent
screen tubes also cause humming interference so that here also there should be
a distance of at least 1 metre between the device and any such lights. Avoid
installing your Chronolog where it will be exposed to direct sunlight and
where it is in close proximity to strong heat sources.

1.3 Warranty performance and service
With the Chronolog, you have acquired a high-quality and technically mature
product. At the Trigon Company, we go to great efforts to fulfil the demands
placed on a Trigon product at each stage of production, through numerous
quality tests and a strict outgoing goods inspection process. If in spite of this
you should experience a fault, the Trigon Elektronik GmbH Company
gives a three year warranty. The warranty covers the repair of the faulty part
and the cost of the labour. As a rule, warranty repairs are carried out at
the Trigon facility. Any further claims are excluded. The warranty excludes
any and all damage caused by improper installation, incorrect operation or
by repairs that have been carried out by non-authorised dealers and private
persons. Furthermore, the warranty lapses in the case of serial numbers that
have been rendered unrecognisable. Also, transport damage or damage caused
by accidents are excluded from the warranty.
Please check that the warranty card is filled out completely as otherwise, you
will not be able to make any claims on the warranty. The three year warranty
on your Chronolog starts from the date that the device is handed over to
you by the dealer. For this reason, you must hold onto the warranty card and
the receipt that identifies the date of the purchase. You should check with your
dealer how long he has had the device on stock as the term of the warranty
reduces correspondingly after the device has been on stock with the dealer for
one year.

2. Setup and Safety Advice
2. Setup and Safety Advice
After unpacking your Chronolog, you should first allow it time to warm up
to the ambient temperature. Particularly during the colder seasons of the year,
dampness can build up inside the device if the Chronolog is moved from a
cold environment to a warm one.
Once your Chronolog has acclimatised, we recommend that you familiarise
yourself with your new audio player. Firstly you should make the connection
between your pre-amplifier and the Chronolog. The second step is to connect
a monitor/television or the supplied dongle. Then connect the Chronolog to
your router or network with a suitable network cable, so that it can access the
Internet. The last step is to plug the supplied Trigon Volt power cable into the
Chronolog’s mains socket and connect the mains plug to the mains supply.
Now switch the Chronolog on by operating the power switch on the back of
the device and pressing the start button on the front of the device.
After powering up, the Chronolog’s drive is initialised and "Trigon Chronolog"
appears in the display on the front of the device.
Warning: The Chronolog does not start up if there is no monitor, television
or dongle connected.
During start-up, the status lamp flashes and the audio output is released by
a relay, which can be identified by a quiet click. Once start-up is completed,
the status lamp lights up permanently and the Main menu is displayed. You
should now familiarise yourself with the operating elements and the connection
sockets.
