.3 Wiring
Plug the power cable into the power socket [16] of Trinity and connect the player with
power supply. Above the power socket you will find the main power switch [ 14]. Use the
power switch to turn Trinity into standby mode (switch position 1). The power L D on
the front side above the headphone [10] socket will light up.
Connect all devices with Trinity. Make sure that analogue devices are only plugged
into the LIN sockets [21, 22, 23] and that digital sources are plugged into the D-IN
sockets [24, 25, 26, 27].
Due to Trinity‘s streaming capability you should ensure LAN connectivity. In case
you would like to playback music from a USB stick or USB hard drive, plug in these
devices to the USB sockets [6, 28, 29, 30].
Plug in the loudspeakers to the sockets [13, 33] and switch on Trinity by pressing the
volume key [11].
Please note that you need to wait about 5 seconds after having turned on the main power
switch in order to stabilise the voltage of the standby power supply. Then press the
volume key [11] in order to turn Trinity fully on.
Please note that you need to wait about 5 seconds after having turned on the main power switch in order to
stabilise the voltage of the standby power supply. Then press the volume key [11] in order to turn Trinity
fully on
The power up procedure (Boot process) may take up to 1 minute. As soon as Trinity
is ready for use, the following screen will be displayed.
Home screen
.4 Establish LAN connectivity
Plug the LAN cable of your network into the LAN connection socket [31]. After a few
seconds your router should have the Trinity integrated into their local network. Now you
should determine which IP address your network router assigned to the Trinity.
Use the navigation keys [1,3,4,5] to navigate to the System function field.
5

Selection System
Confirm the selection with the [2] key and select the Network information field.
Select Network Information
Confirm your select with key [2] and you see the following pictuire:
The first line shows the serial number of your device.
In the second line is the IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.73). Write down this IP address.
•If you have not already done so, connect your tablet PC (or smart phone) to your
network.
•Start an internet browser on the tablet.
•nter the IP address of the Trinity in the command line of the browser (in the
example above 192.168.0.73)

The following screen appears on the screen of your table PC after the connection:
Start-up image of the remote control on the tablet or smart phone.
Note: Depending on the setting of your Internet router, the IP address may sometimes
change. If, for this reason, you are no longer able to connect to the tablet with the IP
address you have noted for the first time, check the IP again as described above.
Tip: For most routers, you can also hard-code the IP addresses of the devices on the
network so that the router does not change the IP addresses randomly, so the IP address
does not have to be reentered into the tablet over and over again.
The first line contains the two most important buttons: Music and Amp.
If you tap on these buttons these screens appears.
