CALA® CDR

Welcome.

We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a T+A product. With your new CALA CDR you have acquired a top-quality piece of equipment which has been designed and developed with the wishes of discerning listeners as absolute top priority.

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 product, and wish you many hours of enjoyment and sheer listening pleasure with your CALA CDR.

Basic Functions of the Cala

The basic functions of the CALACDR, described in this chapter are always available, regardless of the selected source.

Source switching

The source buttons are used to select the desired internal source (DISC, FM Radio, DAB Radio, USB Media, Streaming Client oder Internet) or an external source (Analog In 1, Analog In 2, Bluetooth, Digital 1 -3) for playback.

Once the CALA CDR has switched to the internal sources they can be operated using the remote control.

Please refer to the following chapters for details of operating the individual source devices.

Sources which are not in use can be disabled in the System Configuration menu. This can make it easier to select the correct source (see chapter entitled "Basic Cala settings").

Volume control

The volume of the CALACDR can be adjusted in fine increments using the - ▲ + button. 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.

Switching outputs

The loudspeaker outputs and the analogue output (Analog OUT) of the CALACDR can be switched on and off separately using the button.

To switch the analogue output on or off, hold the 🔊 button pressed in.

Briefly pressing the button switches the speaker outputs on and off.

Tone settings (Tone menu)

The CALA CDR 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 the ⏻ button.

The features of the tone control menu are explained in detail in the next section.

	Adjustment range / Options:	Explanations:
Balance	-85 ... 0 ... +85	This menu point allows you to alter the balance between the left and right loudspeakers in order to compensate for an unfavourable listening position.
Loudness	off / on	The CALACDR features a volume-dependent tone control (LOUDNESS) which compensates for the frequency-dependent sensitivity of the human ear, and therefore of human hearing, at very low volume levels.This set-up option is used to switch loudness on or off.
Tone Control	off / on	This menu point can be used to disable (by-pass) the CALACDR 's tone controls.To switch off the tone controls, select the “OFF” setting. When the tone controls are switched off, any adjustments you made to the following menu points “BASS” and “TREBLE” have no effect.
Treble	-12 ... 0 ... +12	This menu point allows you to alter the treble setting.
Mid	-6 ... 0 ... +6	This menu point allows you to alter the midrange setting.
Bass	-12 ... 0 ... +12	This menu point allows you to alter the bass setting.
Subwoofer(This menu point only appears if an external subwoofer is switched on in the System Configuration menu / Loudspeaker menu.)	-15 ... 0 ... +15	The volume of the subwoofer can be adjusted at this point. Adjust the volume of the subwoofer to suit the acoustic conditions of the listening room, and the volume of the other channels.
Contour Presence	-5 / -4 / ... / 0 / ... / +3	The purpose of this menu point is to adjust the Contour filter for the Presence range.This option enables you to improve speech intelligibility in spoken word programmes, documentaries and sport transmissions.

Contour Fundamental tone

-3 / -2 / -1 / 0 / +1 / +2

The purpose of this menu point is to adjust the Contour filter for the fundamental tone. If you prefer a warmer sound image, amplify the fundamental sound (+1 ... +2). For a cooler sound image, or to eliminate resonance effects, the fundamental tone should be reduced (-1 ... -3).

Mode of operation

Stereo / Virtual Surround

The CALACDR offers two modes of operation: STEREO and VIRTUAL SURROUND. In contrast to Stereo mode in Virtual Surround mode it is possible to achieve surround effects even without the presence of physical rear loudspeakers.

The mode of operation can be changed by the MODE button. The first press on the MODE button displays the currently selected mode of operation on the front display. Further button-presses toggle between the modes of operation.

Basic settings of the CALA CDR

(System Configuration menu)

The System Configuration menu is used for adjusting the general settings of the machine. This menu is described in detail in the following chapter.

LF Shape

This menu point opens a sub-menu in which the settings for the loudspeakers can be altered.

In this menu point you can set the loudspeaker type and, if appropriate, the cross-over frequency between the main loudspeakers (loudspeaker group A - left / right) and the sub-woofer.

If you are using large loudspeakers, please choose the "FULL RANGE" setting. For relatively small satellite speakers we suggest that you choose a cross-over frequency of 40Hz, 60Hz, 100Hz or 150Hz, depending on the size and bass performance of your loudspeakers.

Sub-point SPK stand ...

Sub-point Room

Sub-point Subwoofer

Sub-point OUT / Phones

This is the basic rule: the smaller the speaker cabinet, the higher the cross-over frequency should be. The “Bass extd.” setting is recommended for small loudspeakers such as small bookshelf units, if they are operated without a sub-woofer. At this setting the bass range of the speaker is extended to low frequencies.

If loudspeakers are set up close to a wall or a corner, the result may be a disproportionate boost to the low frequencies. To compensate for this effect please select one of the set-up options free / near to wall / in a corner / shelf, according to the location of your loudspeakers.

The purpose of this menu is to fine-tune the CALACDR to match the acoustics of your listening room. For highly damped rooms it is advisable to select one of the “absorptive” settings 1 - 4. The “reflective” settings 1 - 6 help to reduce any reverberant effects. If your listening room is normally damped, this setting should be left at “normal”.

In this menu point you can set the cross-over frequency for your sub-woofer. If your system does not include a sub-woofer, you should choose the "OFF" setting.

In this menu point you can disable the room correction settings for the use of headphones. Choose the setting “phones” to bypass the room correction and choose the setting “OUT” if e.g. active speakers are connected, for which the room correction is eventually required.

Is the setting „phones“ selected, the settings for the menu items „Room“ (System settings menu) and „Contour presence“ and „Contour fundamental tone“ (Tone menu) have no effect to the phones- and Analog OUT sockets.

Menu item Source settings

Sub-point Available

Sub-point Source name

This menu point opens a sub-menu in which the individual sources connected to the CALACDR can be configured.

Not all the set-up options are available for all sources.

The purpose of this menu point is to disable / activate the corresponding source.

Disabled sources do not appear in Source Select when you operate the remote control handset, and this makes it easier to select the correct source. It is therefore advisable to disable all sources which you do not use.

At this menu item you can assign a plain text name to each source; this name then appears in the screen displays.

When you call up this menu item using the OK button, a list of all the internal and external sources of the CALACDR appears.

To change the plain-text name, move to the appropriate line and press the OK button. Now use the alpha-numeric keypad of the FM1000 to change the name as required, then confirm your choice with OK; this saves the settings for that source.

The ▲▼ button is used to switch between numeric and alpha-numeric input, and between capitals and lower-case letters. Letters can be erased by pressing the ◀ button.

If you should wish to restore the factory default source name, erase the whole name before saving the empty field with the OK button: this action resets the display to the standard source names.

Sub-point Auto-power-on

This menu point enables you to automatically switch on the CALACDR due to the automatic power-on function.

If this function is switched on, the CALACDR automatically switches itself on from standby mode, and switches to the selected source (if necessary), when a music signal is present at the Analog In 1, Analog In 2 or Digital In 1 - 3 input - depending on the input to which the auto power-on function is assigned.

If the CALACDR is switched on, but no signal is detected at the auto power-on input within about twenty minutes, then the CALACDR automatically switches itself off again; however this only occurs if the auto power-on source is selected.

Sub-point Passthrough

The automatic power-on function is only active when the Energy Saver function is disabled.

If you wish to connect a device with its own volume control (e.g. TV set), this menu point can be used to disable the volume control of the CALA CDR for the Analog In 1 input (pass-through mode).

You should only select this setting if a device with its own volume control is connected to the unit. Ensure that the volume of the source device is turned down to zero before connecting it to the CALACDR, otherwise the speakers connected to it may be ruined through overloading.

Sub-point Phono mode

The purpose of this menu point is to configure the input Analog In 2 for connecting a turntable fitted with an MM pick-up.

Never select this setting unless a turntable (without integrated phono preamp – output voltage until 10 mV) is connected to the CALACDR, otherwise the speakers connected to the unit may be ruined through overloading.

Sub-point Input level

The input for sources Analog In 1 and Analog In 2 can be adjusted to suit the output level of the device connected to these sockets. The input level can be set to any of four values. Set the input in such a way that the volume matches that of the CALACDR's internal sources, then confirm your choice with the OK button. This action saves the settings for that source. The input level can be adjusted to any of the settings 500 mV, 1,0 V, 2,0 V or 2,8 V.

If you have configured the source Analog In 2 for connecting a turntable, this set-up option is used to adjust the input sensitivity to any of the settings 2.5mV, 5mV or 10 mV to suit an MM pick-up.

Menu item Display brightness

Here you can adjust the brightness of the screen in normal use to suit your personal preference. The available settings are: 1 to 7

We recommend that brightness settings 6 and 7 should only be used when the screen is difficult to read due to very bright ambient light. A lower brightness setting will extend the useful life of the screen.

Menu item Display mode

This menu item offers the choice between three different display operation modes:

• Always on
• Temporary
• Always off

Selecting 'Temporary' will switch the display is on for a short while each time the CALACDR is being operated. Shortly after operation the display will be switched off again automatically.

To switch the display on again, from the “always off” setting, call up the system settings menu by a brief press on the sys button.

Menu item Ambient brightness

In this menu point you can set your preferred brightness for the ambient lighting of the CALA CDR. The brightness can be adjusted to any of ten settings.

Menu item Ambient colour

In this menu point you can switch on and set the preferred colour for the ambient lighting.

Menu item Ambient colour cycling

If you have configured the ambient colour (see menu item above) to the setting “flowing”, under this menu item you can adjust the speed the ambient lighting cycles through the different colours in four steps from very slow to fast.

This menu item only appears, if under the menu item "Ambient colour" the setting "flowing" is selected.

Menu itemLanguage	In this menu point it is possible to determine the language which is to be used for the displays on the integral screen on the front panel of the CALA CDR.
	i The language used for any transferred data, e.g. from an Internet radio station, is determined by the device itself or the radio station, and thereforecannotbe selected on the CALA CDR.
Menu itemDevice name	This menu point can be used to assign an individual name to the CALA CDR. In a home network the device then appears under this name.
Menu itemNetwork	All network settings can be carried out at this menu point. For a detailed description on setting up a LAN or WLAN connection please also refer to the section entitled “Network configuration”.
Menu itemMusic services	At this point you can enter the access data for the music streaming services (TIDAL etc.) supported by the CALA CDR.Calling up this menu point by pressing theOKbutton displays a list of the supported music services.Select the service you wish to use, then confirm your choice with theOKbutton.Now use the alpha-numeric keypad of theFM1000to enter the access data which you have received from your service provider in the lines “User” and “Passphrase”.Use the▲▼button to switch between numeric and alpha-numeric input, and between capitals and lower-case letters.Press the◀button to erase any letter.In each case confirm your input of user name and password by pressing theOKbutton.To conclude the procedure and save the data, select the menu entry “Store and exit?” and confirm by pressing theOKbutton.
	i If access data for the selected music service has already been stored, the new data will overwrite them. To use the new access data you must first perform a “Logout” for the service in question, then switch the CALA CDR off and on again.
	i The music streaming services supported by the CALA CDRrequire a subscription to the appropriate service provider.
Menu itemBandwidth limit	This menu point can be used to adjust the link speed of the Internet connection. The bitrate of the Internet radio stations and streaming services is adjusted automatically to match your chosen setting. If you select “no limit” for bandwidth limit, the highest available quality is always selected automatically.
	i If you do not know the exact bandwidth of the internet connection, we recommend that you select the setting at which no drop-outs occur during playback.

Menu item Energy saver (Stand-by mode)

The CALACDR features two stand-by modes: ECO Standby with reduced stand-by current drain, and Comfort Standby with additional functions, but slightly higher current drain. You can select your preferred stand-by mode in this menu point:

On (ECO Standby)

Operating the Bluetooth Receiver

The CALACDR's integral Bluetooth interface provides a means of transferring music wirelessly from devices such as smart-phones, tablet PCs, iPods, etc. to the Cala.

For a successful audio Bluetooth transfer from a mobile device to the CALACDR the mobile device must support the A2DP Bluetooth audio transfer protocol.

Selecting Bluetooth

Select Bluetooth as source by pressing the BT - button on the remote control handset.

The machine's integral screen now displays Bluetooth as source.

Setting up audio transfer

Before music from a Bluetooth-capable device can be played through the CALACDR, the external device must first be registered to the CALACDR. As long as the CALACDR is switched on and no device is connected, it is always ready to receive. In this state the screen displays the message 'not connected'.

This is the procedure for establishing a connection:

- Start a search for Bluetooth equipment on your mobile device.

- When it finds the CALACDR, make the connection to your mobile device.

Once the connection is successfully established, the message on the CALA CDR's screen switches to 'connected to YOUR DEVICE'.

If your device requests a PIN code, this is always '0000'.

Due to the large number of different equipment on the market, we are only able to provide a general description for setting up the radio connection. For detailed information please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your device.

Playback functions

Information on the piece of music being played is displayed on the integral screen of the connected mobile device. If possible we recommend that you leave the screen backlight switched on permanently to ensure that it is clearly legible.

Some Bluetooth devices which support the AVRCP protocol can be controlled by CALA CDR's FM1000 remote control handset.

The behaviour and method of operating the connected mobile device are determined by the device itself. In general terms the function of the buttons the FM1000 remote control handset are as follows:

Start and pause playback

The ▶ button is used to start and pause playback (PLAY / PAUSE function).

Pressing the ☐ button halts playback.

Switch track /

A brief press on the 🏠/ [▶] buttons during playback causes the device to jump to the next or previous piece of music within the current playlist.

Please note that many AVRCP-capable mobile devices do not support the controlling through the CALA CDR. In case of doubt, please ask the manufacturer of your mobile device.

Volume adjustment

To achieve the best possible playback quality, you should only adjust the volume on the CALACDR itself: set the playback volume as high as possible on your mobile device, but not so high that the signal is distorted.

Any further changes to volume should then be made using the VOL+ / VOL- button on the FM1000.

Notes

The CALACDR has been tested with a large number of Bluetooth-capable mobile devices. However, we are unable to guarantee general compatibility with all devices available commercially since the range of equipment is so wide, and the various implementations of the Bluetooth standard differ widely in some cases. If you encounter a problem with Bluetooth transfer, please contact the manufacturer of the mobile device.

The maximum range of a Bluetooth audio transfer is normally about 3 to 5 metres, but the effective range may be affected by a number of factors. To achieve good range and interference-free reception there should be no obstacles or persons between the CALA CDR and the mobile device.

Bluetooth audio transfers take place in what is known as the “everyman frequency band”, in which many different radio transmitters operate - including WLAN, garage door openers, baby intercoms, weather stations, etc. Radio interference caused by these other services may cause brief dropouts or - in rare cases - even failure of the connection, and such problems cannot be excluded. If problems of this kind occur frequently in your environment, we recommend that you use the Streaming Client or the USB input of the CALA CDR instead of Bluetooth.

By their nature, Bluetooth transmissions always involve data reduction, and the attainable sound quality varies according to the mobile device in use, and the format of the music to be played. As a basic rule the maximum quality of music which is already stored in a data-reduced format, such as MP3, AAC, WMA or OGG-Vorbis, is worse than with uncompressed formats such as WAV or FLAC. For the highest reproduction quality we always recommend the use of the Streaming Client or the USB input of the CALA CDR instead of Bluetooth.

Please refer chapter 'System settings / source settings'
Digital OUT	At this socket is the signal from the chosen source available. It can be transmitted to e.g. a digital recorder.i It is not possible to produce a digital version of all played media, as in some cases the original contains copyright protection.
GND	The ground lead from an analogue record player is connected here in order to avoid hum.
Analog IN 1 / IN 2	Universal analogue stereo sound inputi These inputs are equipped with an automatic power on function. Please refer chapter 'System settings / source settings'i In the System Configuration menu it is possible to configure the input IN 2 as input for an analogue turntable (pick-up).
Analog OUT (Ω)	Analogue audio output (Pre Out), typically for connecting active loudspeakers or headphones.The level of this output is variable; the level is controlled in parallel with the loudspeaker outputs.i A 3.5 mm barrel socket Ω is available, wired in parallel with the Cinch / RCA output, for connecting headphones. The function of the two outputs is identical.Δ The use of headphonesContinuous listening to programme material via earphones or head-phones at very high volume can result in permanent hearing loss. You can avoid damaging your health by not listening via headphones or ear-phones at high levels for long periods.
SUB OUT	Output socket for an active sub-woofer.The use of a sub-woofer is optional.i If a sub-woofer is connected, it must be switched on in the Loudspeaker menu (see Chapter 'System Settings, Loudspeaker').
USB 1USB 2	Sockets for a USB memory stick or external hard discsThe storage medium can be formatted with the FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3 or ext4 file system.The USB storage medium can be powered directly via the USB port provided that its current drain is in accordance with the USB norm. Normalised 2.5" USB hard discs can be connected directly, i.e. without a separate mains PSU.
LAN	Router socketi If LAN is connected, the LAN connection has priority, and WLAN is automatically disabled.

WLAN

Input socket for WLAN antenna

* The aerial can also be set up free-standing using the magnetic base supplied in the set; this ensures maximum possible range.

Automatic Activation of the WLAN Module

After powering on the MP 2000 R detects if it is connected to a wired LAN Network. If no wired LAN connection is found, the MP 2000 R will automatically activate its WLAN module and it will try to get access to your WLAN network

Attention!

When WLAN shall be used, the LAN socket must be left unconnected.

R and L (loudspeaker terminals)

One pair of loudspeakers can be connected to the □ (SPEAKER ◀R and SPEAKER ◀L). The impedance of each speaker must not be lower than 4 Ω (DIN rating).

Attention!

The load capacity of the loudspeakers connected to the device must be appropriate to the amplifier. The speaker impedance must be at least 4 Ohm (DIN rating). Always connect your loudspeakers using ready-made, purpose-designed speaker cables terminating in approved connectors. The speaker cables and connectors must be insulated in accordance with regulations, and the conductors must have a minimum cross-sectional area of 1.5 mm² . The output stages are designed to cope with a minimum load of 2 Ω , but continuous operation at very high volume produces high currents in the power output stages which can lead to overheating. This in turn trips the protective circuit which switches the amplifier off automatically. Make sure that the terminals are firmly screwed down, and that no short-circuits are possible.

If the loudspeakers are to be used in countries outside the EU the red/black stoppers can be removed from the loudspeaker terminals. The speakers can then be connected using banana plugs.

The stoppers are simply a push-fit in the terminals, and can be prised out from the rear using a suitable tool such as a knife blade.

Installation and wiring

Carefully unpack the unit and store the original packing material carefully. The carton and packing are specially designed for this unit and will be needed again if you wish to move the equipment at any time.

If you have to transport the device, it must always be carried or sent in its original packaging in order to prevent damage and defects.

If the unit gets very cold (e. g. when being transported), condensation may form inside it. Please do not switch it on until it has had plenty of time to warm up to room temperature, so that any condensation evaporates completely.

If the device has been in storage, or has not been used for a protracted period (> two years), it is essential to have it checked by a specialist technician before re-use.

Before placing the unit on sensitive laquer or wood surfaces please check the compatibility of the surface and the unit's feet on a non visible point and if necessary use an underlay. We recommend a surface of stone, glass, metal or the like.

The unit should be placed on a rigid, level base (See also chapter "Safety notes"). When placing the unit on resonance absorbers or anti-resonant components make sure that the stability of the unit is not reduced.

The unit should be set up in a well ventilated dry site, out of direct sunlight and away from radiators.

The unit must not be located close to heat-producing objects or devices, or anything which is heat-sensitive or highly flammable.

Mains and loudspeaker cables, and also remote control leads must be kept as far away as possible from signal leads and antenna cables. Never run them over or under the unit.

Notes on connections:

A complete connection diagram is shown in 'Appendix A'.

• Be sure to push all plugs firmly into their sockets. Loose connections can cause hum and other unwanted noises.
• When you connect the output sockets of the source device to the input sockets of the CALA CDR always connect like to like, i. e. 'R' to 'R' and 'L' to 'L'. If you fail to heed this then the stereo channels will be reversed.
• The device is intended to be connected to mains outlet with protective earth connector. Please connect it only with the mains cable supplied to a properly installed mains outlet with protective earth connector.
• To achieve maximum possible interference rejection the mains plug should be connected to the mains socket in such a way that phase is connected to the mains socket contact marked with a dot (●). The phase of the mains socket can be determined using a special meter. If you are not sure about this, please ask your specialist dealer.

If you encounter problems when setting up and using the amplifier for the first time please remember that the cause is often simple, and equally simple to eliminate. Please refer to the section of these instructions entitled 'Trouble shooting'.

Loudspeaker and signal cables	Loudspeaker cables and signal cables (inter-connects) have a significant influence on the overall reproduction quality of your sound system, and their importance should not be under-estimated. For this reason T+A recommends the use of high-quality cables and connectors.Our accessory range includes a series of excellent cables and connectors whose properties are carefully matched to our speakers and electronic units, and which harmonise outstandingly well with them.For difficult and cramped situations the T+A range also includes special-length cables and special-purpose connectors (e.g. right-angled versions) which can be used to solve almost any problem concerning connections and system location.

Network Configuration

General Information

The CALA CDR can be operated in wired LAN networks (Ethernet LAN or Powerline LAN) or in wireless networks (WLAN).

If you wish to use your CALACDR in your home network, you must first enter the necessary network settings on the CALACDR. This includes entering the network parameters such as the IP address etc. both for wired and wireless operation. If you wish to use a wireless connection, a number of additional settings for the WLAN network also have to be entered.

In the following sections we assume that a working home network (cable network of WLAN network) with router and (DSL) Internet access is present.

If you are unclear about some aspect of installing, setting up and configuring your network, please address your queries to your network administrator or a network specialist.

Compatible hardware and UPnP servers

The marketplace offers a vast number of routers, NAS devices and USB hard discs made by a very wide range of manufacturers. T+A equipment is generally compatible with other makes of machine which bear the UPnP label.

Network settings menu

All network settings are entered in the Network Configuration menu. This menu will vary slightly in appearance depending on the type of your network, i.e. whether you have a wired (LAN) or wireless (WLAN) network.

If in the Network Configuration Menu the entry 'Network IF Mode' is set to 'auto', the CALACDR will check automatically if a LAN connection to a network is present. If a LAN connection is found, the machine will assume that this is to be used, and displays the network configuration menu for LAN networks.

If no LAN network is connected, the CALACDR activates its WLAN module and displays the WLAN configuration menu when you call up the configuration menu. The menu for a WLAN network includes a number of additional menu points. The following sections explain how to use the menu, and the meaning of the individual menu points.

Trouble shooting

Many problems have a simple cause and a correspondingly simple solution. The following section describes a few difficulties you may encounter, and the measures you need to take to cure them. If you find it impossible to solve a problem with the help of these notes please disconnect the unit from the mains and ask your authorised T+A specialist dealer for advice.

Machine does not switch on	Cause 1:Mains lead not plugged in correctly.Remedy:Check connection, push connector in firmly.
Machine cannot be controlled by IR remote control.	Cause 1:Incorrectly inserted batteries or flat batteries in the remote control handset.Remedy:Re-install batteries correctly or fit new ones.
	Cause 2:The remote control transmitter has no direct line-of-sight with the unit.Remedy:Make sure that the remote control transmitter has direct line-of-sight contact with the receiver - note that glass doors can interrupt the connection.Maximum range between transmitter and receiver: approx. 8 metres.Be sure to position the receiver where it is not subjected to direct sunlight or very bright artificial light. Fluorescent tubes and energy-saving lamps are powerful sources of interference.
App cannot find the device in powered off state.	Cause:Energy saver is switched on.Remedy:Switch off the Energy saver function in the system configuration menu.
The streaming client cannot connect to a network.On the display the indication 'Cannot connect to network' is displayed.	Cause 1 (cable LAN):Network cable not properly connectedRemedy:Connect network cable, check connection to router
	Cause 2 (wireless LAN):WLAN antenna not connected or placed in a location with bad reception qualityRemedy:Connect WLAN antenna properly and find a location with good reception quality.Set the transmission power output of your WLAN router to maximum.Try to establish a network connection first in a location close to the WLAN router. If this succeeded try to connect to WLAN from a more remote location. Experiment with antenna position and try to find a location with better reception quality.

Cause 3 (wireless LAN):

WLAN reception quality bad (low field strength). Possibly too much attenuated by walls/ceilings on the transmission path.

Remedy:

Optimize location of receiver and transmitter antennas.

Alternative:

If transmission problems persist a so called 'Power Line' network might be good alternative to establish a good and stable network connection.

The best, safest and most secure network however will always be a cable LAN network.

Cause 4:

Network parameters not properly configured.

Remedy:

Configure the network parameters correctly (see chapter

'Network configuration').

Cause 5 (operation without network connection):

For proper operation the CALA CDR needs at least one properly connected network device. This can be a LAN or WLAN network or a USB storage device.

Remedy:

If the CALA CDR shall be operated without network (LAN / WLAN) please connect at least a USB stick.

Software update

Software update generally

Software updates keep your CALA CDR up-to-date. They bring new optimisations like faster operation and new features which were not available at the time the device was produced.

Updating via the Internet

It may occur that after a software update some of your user defined settings like network parameters or favourite stations are lost and have to be restored after the update.

Updating the firmware via the CALA CDR's Internet connection

• The basic requirement is a functioning network with router and access to a broadband Internet connection; the system must be operating.
• Switch the machine on.
• Call up the system configuration menu by pressing the sys button on the remote control handset.
• Use the ▲ / ▼ buttons to select the "Device info" menu item, and confirm your selection by pressing the OK button.
• Select the "Update" menu point with the ▲ / ▼ buttons, then press the OK button to confirm your choice.
• The Select option "WEB" should now be active (highlighted).
  • The firmware update can now be started by pressing OK.
• The screen displays the current state of progress of the update.
• Once the update has been completed (duration around ten minutes) the device automatically switches itself off and restarts.
• When the machine has restarted, the update is complete.
• To ensure that the update was successful, access the "Device Info" menu point mentioned above, and check the new firmware status.

Notes on Energy Saving

General information

The CALACDR satisfies the requirements of the latest directives concerning energy-saving measures (EuP directive). The modern design of the mains power supply makes an important contribution to this.

The internal micro-processor constantly ensures that sub-assemblies which are not currently required are automatically switched off. The micro-processor itself operates in stand-by mode at a relatively low clock speed, and only responds to the remote control receiver.

In stand-by mode the current drain of the CALACDR is less than 0.5 Watt.

If you intend not to use the device for a long period, it should be disconnected from the mains socket, i.e. the mains plug should be withdrawn from the wall socket.

Automatic power-down (Energy saver)

The device features an automatic power-down function. If the CALA CDR detects no operation or no music signal for a period longer than ninety minutes, it automatically switches to stand-by mode. Two minutes before the device enters the standby mode, a pop-up window appears on the screen. If the device should stay in operation please press the OK button while this message is displayed.

In countries outside the EU, in which the EuP directive has no validity, the automatic power-down feature can be disabled if necessary (see chapter entitled 'Basic settings of the CALA CDR).
