INITIAL OPERATION
• Place the MR 780 on an even surface. Observe the relevant clearance gaps as specified under
"Important safety instructions".
IMPORTANT: Do not place any objects on top of the device (magazines, CD/record cases, etc.).
The ventilation slots located on top of the device must be unobstructed at all times!
• Connect your speakers:
The stereo speakers (impedance of 4 to 8 ohms) are connected to the rear as follows:
Only use high-quality audio speaker cables with a conductor cross section of min. 1.5 - 2.5 mm². Strip
approx. 10 mm from the cables and twist the ends. Loosen the terminal screws one after the other and
insert the stripped ends into the holes. Re-tighten the terminal screws. Make sure you pay attention to
the correct polarity.
You can also use prefabricated cables with 4mm banana plugs or forked fittings.
Also observe the operating instructions for the speakers you are using.
• Connect your audio sources.
• Connect the DAB/FM antenna to the antenna connection point at the rear of the device. For later
operation, the position of the antenna should then be determined according to where the best
reception is. The end of antenna should then be secured in the appropriate position, e.g. using a
drawing pin.
Reception can be improved by a suitable indoor or outdoor household antenna if the reception is not
so good.
• Connect the supplied mains cable to the rear and then insert the other end into a 230V socket.
• Actuate the on/off switch on the rear side, the device is now in the standby mode.
• Now switch on the device using the remote control or with the ON/STBY key on the front.
• When the tube has heated up the device is ready for use.
• Select your desired audio source using the input selector switch.
CONNECTING THE DEVICE TO A BLUETOOTH AUDIO SOURCE
Select Bluetooth input. If you have previously connected a Bluetooth device, the MR 780 will
automatically attempt to re-establish a connection with this device. If this is the case, you may be
required to manually reconfirm the connection on the source device.
If a connection has not already been made or the connection cannot be re-established, the MR 780 will
automatically activate the ‚pairing mode'. „BT" will flash on the display.
Now activate the Bluetooth mode on your source device. The MR 780 will appear in the list of Bluetooth
devices as „MR 780". If it is not displayed in the list, set your source device to search for Bluetooth
devices manually and make sure that the MR 780 has been switched to the pairing mode.
Depending on the source device, you may be asked whether the password is to be accepted during
the pairing procedure. You can confirm this by simply pressing „Accept". If you are still asked for a
password, use the default passwords „0000" or „1234". If you are asked if you want to establish
a connection after pairing, please select „Yes". When the device has been paired and connected
successfully the „BT" indicator will illuminate continuously.
The MR 780 supports the „Qualcomm® aptX™" high quality audio transmission standard. If your
source device also supports this standard, „Qualcomm® aptX™" will be selected automatically as the
transfer mode when establishing a Bluetooth connection.
PRESET MEMORY
The device is equipped with two independent PRESET memories for FM and DAB stations. Each memory
can store up to 40 stations.
Storing stations:
Set the desired DAB or FM stations using the TUNING buttons on the unit or via the remote control.
• Select the desired storage location by holding down the corresponding key on the numeric keypad.
• In the case of two-digit storage location numbers (10 – 40), the +10 key first has to be pressed for a
longer time and the desired digits then entered.
• Successful storage is confirmed on the display with the appearance of STORED PRESET. In the first
line, the storage location number is played permanently before the station frequency.
Select a station from the list of stations:
Select the desired storage location via the numerical keyboard (by pressing briefly).
