MP 1000 E
Welcome.
We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a T+A product. With your new MP 1000 E you have acquired a top-quality piece of equipment which has been designed and developed with the wishes of the audiophile music lover 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.
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 MP 1000 E.

Pre amplifier functions of the MP 1000 E
(Only possible with the optional pre-amplifier module installed)
Using the unit with active speakers or power amplifiers
The MP 1000 E can also be operated without an integrated amplifier, e.g. using directly connected active speakers or a power amplifier. For this 'stand-alone' mode the machine can be fitted with an optional pre-amplifier module. This module consists of a fully featured pre-amplifier with volume and tone controls. The following menu points relating to tone settings are only available if the pre-amplifier module is fitted.
Continuous listening to programme material at very high volume can result in permanent loss of hearing. You can avoid subsequent health problems by avoiding continuous listening at high volume
Operation with T+A PA 1000 E
A T+A PA 1000 E amplifier connected to the MP 1000 E by an E LINK cable is automatically detected by the MP 1000 E and the pre amplifier section will automatically be bypassed. In this case volume and tone are adjusted on the PA 1000 E's pre-amplifier.

Balance
This menu item is used to alter the balance in level between the left and right channels, e.g. to compensate for non-symmetrical loudspeaker positioning.
The balance can be adjusted in increments of 1,25 dB; the screen always displays the current value.
The primary purpose of the Balance setting in the Tone menu is to compensate for inadequacies in the audio mix of the recording currently being played.
Loudness
The MP 1000 E is equipped with an automatic level-dependent volume control system (LOUDNESS), designed to compensate for the frequency-dependent sensitivity of the ear at very low volume, caused by the physiology of the human auditory system.
This set-up option switches the level-dependent volume control on and off.
Tone Control
This menu point can be used to disable (by-pass) the MP 1000 E's tone controls.
To switch off the tone controls, select the “OFF” setting. When the tone controls are switched off, any adjustments you make to the following menu points “BASS” and “TREBLE” have no effect.
Bass / Treble (Tone settings)
These two menu points can be used to alter the high-frequency (treble) and low-frequency (bass) settings when required.
The primary purpose of the settings in the Tone menu is to compensate for inadequacies in the audio mix of the recording currently being played.
If you wish to alter the fundamental tone settings for your loudspeakers, you should make adjustments in the “Speaker size” menu item of the system configuration menu.
D/A Converter Settings
A number of special settings are available for the MP 1000 E D/A converter; they are designed to fine-tune the characteristics of your amplifier to suit your listening preferences.

- Press the F1 button again to leave the menu.
D/A mode
A number of special settings are available for the MP 1000 E's D/A converter; they are designed to fine-tune the characteristics of your amplifier to suit your listening preferences.
The MP 1000 E can exploit two different filter types offering different tonal characters:
- LINEAR is the standard setting, which has an extremely linear frequency response.
- The IMPULSE setting delivers an improved impulse response with a minimal reduced linearity.
Output phase
With particular instruments or voices the human ear is certainly capable of detecting whether absolute phase is correct or not. However, absolute phase is not always correctly recorded.
In this menu item the phase of the signal can be changed from normal to inverse phase and back.
The correction is carried out at the digital level, and has absolutely no adverse effect on sound quality.

Playback Program
Creating a Playback Program
A playback program consists of up to thirty tracks of a CD stored in any order you like. This can be useful, for example, when you are preparing a cassette recording. A playback program can only be created for the CD currently in the disc drawer of the MP 1000 E. The program remains stored until it is erased again, or until the CD drawer is opened.
When you place the CD in the drawer, the screen displays the total number of tracks on the disc, e.g.: '13 Tracks 60:27'. For creating a playback program the disc must be stopped.
- Press the 😊 button to activate playback programming mode.
- The screen displays the message 'Add Track 1 to Program' and '0 Tracks / 0:00 Program time'.
- Repeatedly press the 🔊 or ▶ button briefly until the number of the desired track appears on the screen after 'Track'.
- Now store the track in the playback program by briefly pressing the button.
- The screen shows the number of tracks and the total playing time of the play-back program. Select all the remaining tracks of the program in the same manner, and store them by briefly pressing the 😊 button.
- If you store thirty tracks, the screen displays the message 'Program full'. The playback programming process is concluded when all the desired tracks have been stored.
• End the playback programming process. - Hold the 😊 button pressed in for about one second
It is also possible to enter the track directly using the numeric buttons, instead of using the ◀◀ / ▶▶▶ buttons. After you enter the number, press the 😊 button briefly to store the track, as described above.
Playing a playback program
The playback program can now be played.
- Start the playback process by a brief press on the ▶ button
Playback starts with the first track of the playback program. The screen displays the message 'Program' while a playback program is playing.
The 🔊 and ➕ buttons select the previous or next track, but only within the playback program.
Erasing a playback program
Briefly pressing ☐ button in STOP mode opens the CD drawer, and thereby erases the playback program.
A playback program can also be erased without opening the CD drawer:
- Erase the playback program.
Hold the 😊 button pressed in again for about one second - The playback program is now erased.
Operating the Bluetooth source
The MP 1000 E's integral Bluetooth interface provides a means of transferring music wirelessly from devices such as smart-phones, tablet PCs, etc. to the MP 1000 E.
For a successful audio Bluetooth transfer from a mobile device to the MP 1000 E the mobile device must support the A2DP Bluetooth audio transfer protocol.
Connecting the aerial
An aerial must be connected to the unit for Bluetooth transmission. The aerial is connected to the socket marked 'BT' on the MP 1000 E.
* The aerial can also be set up free-standing using the magnetic base supplied in the set; this ensures maximum possible range.
Selecting the Bluetooth Audio source
Select the 'Bluetooth' source by repeatedly pressing the BT button on the remote control handset, or the DISC/BT button on the MP 1000 E's front panel.
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 MP 1000 E, the external device must first be registered to the MP 1000 E. As long as the MP 1000 E 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 MP 1000 E, make the connection to your mobile device.
Once the connection is successfully established, the message on the MP 1000 E's screen switches to 'connected to YOUR DEVICE.
If your device requests a PIN code, this is always '0000'.
The procedure for establishing a connection can only be made if the Bluetooth source is activated (see chapter "Basic settings of the MP 1000 E").
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
Start and pause playback
Stop playback
Skipping tracks
Information on the piece of music currently being played is displayed on the screen of the R 1000 E if this function is supported by the device connected to the unit.
The behaviour and method of operating the connected mobile device are determined by the device itself. In general terms the function of the buttons of the MP 1000 E or the FM1000 remote control handset are as follows:
The ▶ / ▶ // buttons on the remote control handset or the front panel are used to start and pause playback (PLAY / PAUSE function).
Pressing the ☐ button halts playback.
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 MP 1000 E. In case of doubt, please ask the manufacturer of your mobile device.
Controlling the MP 1000 E
The MP 1000 E can also be controlled from the mobile device (Start/Stop, Pause, Volume, etc.). To control the MP 1000 E the mobile device must conform to the Bluetooth AVRCP protocol.
Please note that many AVRCP-capable mobile devices do not support all the MP 1000 E's control functions. In case of doubt, please ask the manufacturer of your mobile device.
NOTES
The MP 1000 E 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 MP 1000 E 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 MP 1000 E 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 MP 1000 E instead of Bluetooth.
The MP 1000 E as D/A Converter
General Information on D/A Converter Operation
The T+A MP 1000 E can be used as a high-quality D/A converter for other devices such as computers, streamer, digital radios etc. which are fitted with poor-quality converters or no converter at all. The MP 1000 E features two optical and three electrical S/P-DIF digital inputs on the back panel to allow this usage.
A USB-DAC input on the back panel permits to use the MP 1000 E as D/A converter for computers.
You can connect devices with electrical co-axial or optical light-pipe output to the digital inputs of the MP 1000 E. At the optical inputs Digital In 3 and Digital In 4 the MP 1000 E accepts digital stereo signals conforming to the S/P-DIF norm, with sampling rates of 32 to 96 kHz. At the electrical co-axial inputs Digital In 1 and Digital In 2 the range of sampling rates is from 32 to 192 kHz.
At the USB DAC IN input the MP 1000 E accepts digital PCM-encoded stereo signals with sampling rates of 44.1 to 384 kHz (32-bit) and DSD data with sampling rates of DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256.
If you wish the MP 1000 E to convert audio files from a Windows PC connected to it, you must first install driver software on the computer (see the chapter entitled 'USB DAC operation in detail'). If you are using a computer running Mac OS X 10.6 or higher no drivers are necessary.
D/A Converter Operation
Selecting a D/A Converter Source
Choose the digital input to which you have already connected the source device which is to be played by pressing the INPUT button on the front panel or the D IN button on the FM1000 ( repeatedly if necessary).
As soon as the source device delivers digital music data, the MP 1000 E automatically adjusts itself to the format and sampling rate of the signal, and you will hear the music.
Front panel display
During D/A converter operations the MP 1000 E integral screen displays the characteristics of the digital input signal.
USB DAC operation in detail
System-requirements
- Intel Core i3 or higher or a comparable AMD Processor.
- 4 GB RAM
- USB 2.0 Interface
• Microsoft Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Windows Vista oder Windows XP
• or MAC OS X 10.6.+
Installing drivers
The MP 1000 E can be operated with the listed MAC operating systems without requiring the installation of a driver. Playback of DSD streams up to DSD128 and PCM streams up to 384 kHz is possible with MAC operating systems.
If the device is to be operated in conjunction with one of the stated Windows operating systems, a dedicated driver must first be installed. With the driver installed, it is possible to play DSD streams up to DSD256 and PCM streams up to 384 kHz.
The drivers required, together with detailed installation instructions including information on audio playback via USB, are available for downloading from our website at http://www.ta-hifi.com/support
Settings
A number of system settings have to be altered if you wish to operate MP 1000 E with your computer. These changes must be made regardless of the operating system. The installation instructions provide detailed information on how and where the settings are to be changed.
Notes on software
By default, the operating systems listed above do not support 'native' music playback. This means that the PC always converts the data stream to a fixed sample rate, regardless of the sample rate of the file to be played. Separate software is available - e.g. J. River Media Center or Foobar - which prevents the operating system converting the sample rate. The installation instructions included in the driver package contain further information on audio playback via USB.
Notes on operation
To prevent fail functions and system crashes of your computer and the playback program, please note the following:
- For Windows OS: Install the driver before you use the MP 1000 E for the first time.
- Use only drivers, streaming methods (e.g. WASAPI, Directsound) and playback software which are compatible to your operating system and between each other.
- Never connect or disconnect the USB connection while the system is running.
Notes on setting up
Do not set up the MP 1000 E on or immediately adjacent to the computer to which it is connected, otherwise the device could be affected by interference radiated by the computer.

Network Configuration
General Information
The MP 1000 E can be operated in wired LAN networks (Ethernet LAN or Powerline LAN) or in wireless networks (WLAN).
If you wish to use your MP 1000 E in your home network, you must first enter the necessary network settings on the MP 1000 E. 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.
Please refer to the Chapter 'Glossary / Additional Information' and 'Network Terms' for additional explanations of terminology relating to network technology.
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 MP 1000 E 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 MP 1000 E 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.
Opening the network settings menu
Open the System Configuration menu by pressing the SYS button on the remote control handset or the front panel of the MP 1000 E.
Use the ▲ / ▼ buttons to select the "Network" menu item, then confirm by pressing the OK button.
Operating the menu, changing and storing IP addresses
Use the ▲ / ▼ buttons in the menu to select the network parameter to be changed, and activate the entry with the OK button.
You can now change the setting using the following buttons, depending on the type of setting:
button /
for simple selection (ON / OFF)
Numeric buttons 0 to 9
for entering IP addresses
Alpha-numeric input
for entering text
When the setting process is complete, or when you have entered the complete address, press the OK button to confirm your action.
Alpha-numeric entry
At certain points, e.g. for entering server names or passwords, it is necessary to input series of characters (strings). At such points you can enter letters, numbers and special characters by repeatedly pressing the numeric buttons on the FM1000 remote control handset, as when writing SMS news. The assignment of letters to the buttons is printed below the buttons. Special characters can be accessed using the 0 and 1 buttons:
Use the blue ▲▼ button for toggling between numbers, capitals and lowercase letters. The bottom line of the screen shows which input mode is currently selected.
At certain points (e.g. DNS server name) it is possible to enter both an alphanumeric string and an IP address. At these points an IP address should be entered like a string (with separating dots as special characters). In this case an automatic check for valid address ranges (0 ... 255) is not carried out.
Closing the menu
Once you have correctly set all the parameters, select the menu item 'Store and exit?', then press the OK button. This action causes the MP 1000 E to accept the settings, and you should see the available network media sources (Internet radio, UPnP-AV server, etc.) displayed in the main menu.
Interrupting the menu without storing the settings
At any time you can leave the network configuration menu without making any changes to the network settings: this is done by pressing the ☐ button, which takes you to the menu item 'Store and exit?'. If you wish to quit at this point without saving, use the ▲ / ▼ buttons to select the 'Discard and exit?' menu item, then confirm with the OK button.

FD 100 Radio Remote Control (optionally)
Connecting the aerial
The MP 1000 E can be controlled remotely using the FD 100 bi-directional radio remote control handset if a Gateway module is installed; this is available as an optional extra. The FD 100 features an integral full-colour screen which provides a convenient means of controlling virtually all the Music Receiver's functions, even when there is no direct line-of-sight contact with it. The handset can also display information relating to the selected source or the medium currently playing.
Since the FD 100 operates by a radio link, an aerial must be connected to the MP 1000 E. This is plugged into the socket on the MP 1000 E marked 'Remote'.
* The aerial can also be set up free-standing using the magnetic base supplied in the set; this ensures maximum possible range.
Pairing the FD 100
Before the MP 1000 E can be controlled using the FD 100, the remote control handset must first be registered to the MP 1000 E. This process is known as pairing, and only has to be carried out once. The procedure is as follows:
- Press the sys button on the MP 1000 E to call up the Configuration menu, then select the 'FD 100 pairing' menu point using the ▼ button.
- To confirm the pairing process of the FD 100, press the OK button until the menu entry changes to 'waiting for FD 100'. (the function remains active for thirty seconds).
- Locate the sys button on the FD 100 and hold it pressed in to open the FD 100's System Settings menu.
- Now select the 'Start pairing' point, and press the OK button: the remote control handset automatically seeks the MP 1000 E.
- Once the device is found, you will see in the display header the on-screen message 'Pairing successful'. At the same time changes the menu entry of the MP 1000 E to 'Done'. If you wish, you can change the name of the device at this point (e.g. 'Living room').
- Confirm the name with the OK button.
- For faster access the MP 1000 E can also be assigned to a Hotkey; this is the next step (see FD 100 operating instructions).
- Select one - or optionally none - of the 'F' buttons, and confirm your choice by pressing the OK button.
- The FD 100 is now paired with the MP 1000 E, and is ready for use.
For detailed information on using the FD 100 please refer to the operating instructions supplied with the remote control handset.
The MP 1000 E can be controlled by the T+A App 'TA Control' too. For further information please visit our homepage www.ta-hifi.com/app
Notes on Energy Saving
General information
The MP 1000 E 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 MP 1000 E 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 MP 1000 E 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 MP 1000 E).
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(red LED does not light up). | Cause 1:Mains lead not plugged in correctly.Remedy:Check connection, push connector in firmly. |
| Cause 2:Mains switch on the back panel not switched on.Remedy:Switch the mains switch on. |
FM radio
| Whistling or whispering noises from the speakers. | Cause:The antenna lead is routed too close to a mains, remote control or audio signal cable.Remedy:Move the leads so that they are spaced well apart. Use the domestic (loft or outside) antenna or a cable connection. |
| The RDS station name does not appear in the display. | Cause 1:The station is not broadcasting RDS information.Cause 2:Reception is poor, interference is severe, or the field strength (signal strength) is low.Remedy:Select only those stations which can be received with a strong signal: hiss-free and without interference. |
| The unit can be operated normally, but very few stations or none at all can be picked up. | Cause:The antenna system or antenna cable is faulty.Remedy:Check the antenna lead for good contact at the antenna socket (at the wall) and in the back of the tuner. As a test, try using the system with a trailing antenna. If you can now receive stations reasonably well, we recommend that you call out an expert antenna technician to check your antenna system. |
CD player
| The screen displays the message 'No Disc' when you close the CD drawer. | Cause 1:CD not inserted correctly.Remedy:Place CD centrally in the drawer, printed face up. |
| Cause 2:CD dirty.Remedy:Clean disc and insert again. | |
| Cause 3:CD damaged in the Table of Contents (TOC) area.Remedy:No remedy; the CD is unusable. | |
| Cause 4:The CD player has become very cold (e.g. in transit) and condensation has formed on the laser sensor optics.Remedy:Allow the unit to warm up for about an hour in a warm, well ventilated location. | |
| CD playback stops or 'jumps'. | Cause 1:CD damaged or dirty.Remedy:Clean CD. A damaged CD cannot be repaired! |
| Cause 2:The CD uses a copy protection system which does not conform to the CD-Audio standard (Red Book Standard)Remedy:Take back the CD to the dealer and ask for a proper CD according to the general CD standard. |
Streaming Client
| The streaming client cannot connect to a network. On the display the indication 'Cannot connect to...' is displayed. | Cause 1 (cable LAN): Network cable not properly connected Remedy: Connect network cable, check connection to router |
| Cause 2 (radio network): USB-WLAN stick not connected, or connected while the device was already switched on. Remedy: Switch the machine off, and connect the USB-WLAN stick supplied in the set. Now switch the machine on, and enter the network parameters (see the section entitled 'Network configuration'). | |
| 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'). | |
| Transmission interruptions occur when listening to internet radio stations. | Cause 1: The capacity of the internet radio station's server is at its limit. Remedy: Choose a different station. |
| Cause 2: Network problems occurred. Remedy: Check your network (see above). | |
| Some internet radio stations cannot be received | Cause: The internet radio station has been switched off, it transmits only at certain hours of the day or it has changed its internet address. Remedy: Try to get information from the website of the station regarding transmission hours and internet address (URL). Try to establish a connection to the station at a later time. |
| Bad sound quality at certain internet radio stations | Cause:The station transmits with a low audio bandwidth (low bitrate).Remedy:Use stations transmitting at least at 128 kBit/s. This is the lowest recommended bitrate for adequate sound quality. For good sound quality we recommend high bitrates like 320 kBit/s |
| USB Storage device is not recognised | Cause 1:The storage device (especially USB hard discs without separate power supply) draws more electrical current from the USB interface than is permitted by the USB standard.Remedy:Only use USB storage devices that conform to the USB standard or use storage devices with own power supplies. |
Glossary / Supplementary Information
| Playback program | The MP 1000 E gives the user the opportunity to seek particular tracks on a CD for playback, to store this selection in a playback program and play it, or to record it to tape. |
| CD | Compact Discs (CD) are digital data media which need to be handled carefully. These are the basic rules:The surface of a CD should only ever be cleaned with a soft dry cloth. Never wipe it in a circular motion, i. e. along the tracks.Never use petrol, paint thinners, disc cleaners or similar materials on compact discs.CDs must be handled carefully in order to avoid serious damage to the surface. Severely scratched surfaces, writing on the disc or applying self-adhesive labels may result in the CD player being unable to read the data.CDs should not be heated or bent. This means that they should be stored in a position and attitude which meet these requirements. |
| E2 LINK | Control interface for remote control of T+A systems. The CD player / MP 1000 E receives the infra-red remote control signals and passes then on to the power amplifier and to the source devices. |
| Field strength | The electrical field strength is a measurement of the level (strength) of the radio signal supplied by the antenna. In general terms, the higher the field strength of the tuned station, the better the reception quality. Signal field strength is determined primarily by the following factors:Distance from radio transmitterObstacles (mountains etc.) between transmitter and receiverTransmitter output powerQuality and direction of the receiver antenna system.Point 4 is of crucial importance here. It is impossible to obtain good reception with a poor aerial system.Your specialist T+A dealer will be glad to advise you on the subject of installing or improving your aerial system, taking your specific local reception conditions into account. |
| FM= Frequency Modulation | All FM radio transmitters use the 'FM' method of modulation. This technology provides maximum possible sound quality and interference suppression. |
| Cable Network | When the MP 1000 E tuner was being developed the requirements of the European cable network were given high priority. The tuner copes very well with excessive signal levels, and its high selectivity avoids many of the problems involved with cable operation, without any reduction in reproduction quality. |
| MIX | In MIX-Mode (Shuffle) the titles of a CD or the titles of a program are played back in a random order. |
| Muting =Hiss suppression | The MP 1000 E features automatic hiss suppression which cuts out the annoying hissing sound between radio stations, and suppresses very weak stations which cannot be received with reasonable quality. |
| Preset= station memory | The MP 1000 E can store all the settings for stations, any of which can be recalled simply by pressing a button. |
| RDS= Radio Data System | Many radio stations broadcast supplementary digital information simultaneously with the programme. The MP 1000 E is equipped with an RDS decoder, and displays the station name of RDS transmitters in plain text on its alpha-numeric screen. This is a great advantage when searching for particular stations. |
| SINGLE CD | A Single CD' is a CD with smaller diameter and a shorter play time. The MP 1000 E can play back CD singles. Please insert these discs into the depression at the center of the disc tray. |
| Standby | The MP 1000 E can be switched on from the Standby state from the remote control handset. |
| TOC | The TABLE OF CONTENT of a CD is located at the inner diameter of the disc and contains important information about the structure of the disc. If the TOC-section of a CD is damaged or covered by fingerprints etc. the CD cannot be played back properly. |
| TRACK | Track is the term for a single item or piece of music on a CD. The tracks and their individual length are stated on the CD sleeve. |
Network terminology
General information
The Switch ensures that the individual components within a network are connected correctly. This is only possible if it can identify each device within the network unambiguously; this is the reason why every component is assigned a form of “house number” (IP address). The IP address consists of four number blocks each containing three digits separated by dots (e.g. 192.168.1.1).
Each of the individual number blocks may contain values between 1 and 254 (the values 0 and 255 are reserved for certain special functions, and should therefore not be used). However, if the network is to operate reliably, the network owner should only select addresses designed for home network use - i.e.: the first two number blocks should always be 192.168.xxx.xxx; the third block can be selected without restriction within the above limits (but should be the same for all devices on the network), and the fourth block must distinguish each device uniquely (e.g.: MP 1000 E 192.168.001.001, NAS: 192.186.001.002, PC: 192.168.001.003, ...).
If this local network is to include Internet music sources (Internet radio) as well as physical devices, then the T+A MP 1000 E must have access to the Internet. This facility is provided by a device such as a router with connection to the DSL network. This router is also a constituent part of the network, and is assigned its own IP address. The T+A MP 1000 E must also be informed of the address of the router (Gateway) to enable it to gain access to the outside world.
i
Please ensure that the first three blocks of the Device IP, Gateway IP and DNS 1 share the same address space (e.g. 192.168.0.xxx). The fourth block assigns a unique address (house number) to the components in the local network. This number must not be present more than once in the local network. The Device IP mask should always be assigned the address 255.255.255.0.
DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most important services on the Internet. Its primary task is to convert “Internet addresses”, such as www.taelektroakustik.de, into the associated IP address. In most home networks the router carries out the DNS function.
If you decide to configure your network manually (without DHCP), then simply enter the address of your router as the DNS address when configuring the network.
Ethernet-LAN
Wired network. Interference-free network technology, with the drawback of having to deploy a network cable.
Gateway
The computer or router in your network which is responsible for managing data traffic between your home network and the outside world (i.e. the Internet).
Client
Network device which obtains data from the network, decodes it and converts it into, for example, analogue music signals which can then be reproduced via an amplifier and loudspeakers. Streaming Clients also contain functions for displaying media content, and for navigating on the Internet or servers.
DHCP
DHCP is an abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The primary purpose of DHCP is to enable Clients to obtain your network configuration automatically from a server or router.
IP-Address
Network address. Each device in the network requires an IP address at which it can be accessed, and by which it is unambiguously identifiable. No individual network address may be present more than once. This is important if you are entering network addresses manually. If the addresses in your network are assigned by DHCP, you do not need to worry about IP addresses at all, as the DHCP server manages the addresses automatically without your intervention.
| NAS(Network Attached Storage) | Network storage facility. This is generally a very large-capacity (> 200 GB) storage device to which other devices have access. If the NAS server includes a UPnP-AV server service, then the MP 1000 E has access to media files stored on the NAS, and can play them back. |
| Powerline-LAN | In a Power-Line LAN data is transferred via the existing mains power cabling. Devices known as “Power-Line modems” are required at the transmitting and receiving end. In most cases Power-Line offers relatively problem-free data transfer with adequate data rates for audio streaming. We recommend Power-Line modems with bit rates of 85 or 200 Mbit/s. |
| Proxy server | A Proxy or Proxy server is a computer in the network which is capable of carrying out data transfers faster and more efficiently, and can increase security through the use of access control mechanisms. Most home networks do not include a proxy server. In this case there is no need to enter a Proxy address when configuring the MP 1000 E network. |
| Router | Central network device which creates and manages the connections between the network devices. In most networks the router also assumes the function of Gateway to the outside world. |
| Server | Network device which provides data and services for other devices in the network. For example, a UPnP-AV server typically stores audio / video data, and makes it available to other devices (the Streaming Clients). Many UPnP-AV servers also offer functions such as cataloguing, and easy identification of media content using criteria such as artiste, album name, genre, etc. |
| UPnP-AV | Network protocol that makes media files available on the home network. On PCs and NAS storage devices a UPnP-AV server software must be installed to enable the MP 1000 E to access media files stored on these devices. Examples for UPnP-AV server software compatible with the MP 1000 E:Windows:Twonky Media Serverhttp://www.twonkyvision.de/Windows Media Receiver 11http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/de/default.aspxLinux:Mediatombhttp://mediatomb.cc/GmediaServerhttp://www.gnu.org/software/gmediaserver/ |
| WLAN(also W-LAN, Wireless LAN) | Radio network. The network is connected by means of radio waves operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Radio networks are easy to install as no cables have to be deployed, but they are often problematic and unreliable - especially when the transmission distances are substantial. Power-Line networks, which can also be installed without separate cabling, are a better choice in many situations. In every case the deployment of a network cable is the most reliable and problem-free technology for data transfer. |
| 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. |
Software update
Software update generally:
Software updates keep your MP 1000 E up-to-date. They bring new optimisations like faster operation and new features which were not available at the time the device was produced.
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.
