Your masterpiece has an eject lock. In CD active mode, please press the "Stop" button for three seconds, then please release and then briefly press the "Eject" button. This activates or deactivates the eject lock (CD locked / CD unlocked).
Please read the operating instructions here.
Your Meisterstück offers two options for automatic switch-off. Firstly, we are legally obliged to design our audio systems in accordance with ErP guidelines so that they switch off after a maximum of 20 minutes in an inactive state. This means that if your device is in Bluetooth, AUX-IN or Optical mode and is not receiving any signals, it will switch off automatically. As a further function, your masterpiece also offers you the comfort setting of switching it from active mode to inactive mode after a certain time. This can also be described as a sleep timer function. You can check and set this function yourself under "System setting" > "Inactive standby". Please note: The automatic switch-off according to the ErP directive cannot be overridden by the comfort setting.
To automatically update the local time, simply select the source "Radio" . In this way, the summer and winter times are always changed to the current time. Of course, a manual changeover is also possible. If you synchronise via the Internet, you must always set the summer and winter time manually. Please read the operating instructions for your devicehere .
It is best to choose the radio as the source of the automatic update, as the automatic update via the Internet can be more prone to errors due to time delays or connection problems.
To set the automatic time change via radio:
Switch on the unit -> Setup -> System setting -> Time/date -> Auto update -> Update from radio -> Done!
You can connect active speakers to your Meisterstück via the line-out connection. The use and control of passive speakers are only possible with the help of an additional amplifier.
In both cases, at the active speakers or at the additional amplifier, the volume control is required, as the signal to these is otherwise reproduced at full volume.
One of the main functions of your Meisterstück is the connection to the Internet to receive, among other things, Internet radio stations available worldwide. There are three ways to deactivate the Internet function
Navigate to "System Setup" > "Network" > "Keep Network Connection" "No".
Navigate to 'System Setup' > 'Time/Date' > 'Auto Update' > 'Update from Radio' and perform a system update.
Disconnect the unit from the power supply, reconnect it and check the function.
When resetting to factory settings, all stored transmitters are deleted. Even after a firmware update, the transmitters must be stored again.
Yes, saving favourites with the remote control is possible with all sonoro products without any problems. Up to 40 radio stations can be saved as favourites on your Meisterstück. Up to nine favourites can be saved via the Meisterstück remote control. If you would like to save even more stations, you can do this directly on your Meisterstück. Select your favourite station, press the "FAV" button for longer than three seconds, then the favourite memory appears. Select a free slot and confirm by pressing the loudspeaker control knob. You can call up all favourites via the number field on your remote control. To do this, also read the operating instructions for your Meisterstück here.
(Should you have a masterpiece with several stream services, only 10 radio stations can be saved).
Such a hum can have many different causes. 1) For example, the connecting cables used between your Meisterstück and your external speakers may not be optimally shielded or may be defective. Check the cables and replace them if necessary. 2)Also, the different earthing of the devices could be the problem. Such hum can occur if the devices are connected to different phases or circuits. If your masterpiece is connected via the house aerial , try the aerials supplied. If you still prefer the house aerial, then the use of a so-called "sheath current filter" could possibly help. Connect your devices to the same circuit or socket.
Set your masterpiece to optical input via the remote control. Your TV must also be set to the optical output for this. If your TV set provides this, set it to "PCM". Please read the operating instructions for your TV sethere .
Please read the operating instructions for your BT headphones carefully. Depending on the headphones and manufacturer, there are different ways to set the BT headphones to "Pairing". Please make sure that your masterpiece is always set to "Pair headphones" ( "SETUP" button , then Bluetooth headphones > Pair headphones ): Make sure that no other receiving devices that are ready to connect are nearby.
Please tighten the antenna as described in the operating instructions. Then please take an 11 mm open-ended spanner and hand-tighten the locking screw clockwise. Overtightening could overtighten the screw.
