2 PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON : This button has multiple functions - a visual indicator of network connectivity and a PLAY/ PAUSE button. For a full listing of LED Blink Codes, please see #1 - Blink Codes. For an ungrouped Player, press the button to Play and Pause the stream. If listening to an internet radio stream, the Pause function will work for 30 seconds. At this point, the buffer is full and the stream will Stop. When a Player is grouped, pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button will Mute that Player while other Players continue the stream. The Player's LED will flash blue when muted.
3 +, - (VOLUME): Toggle either button to vary volume level. Volume level will not change if you press and hold either button. (+): Increase volume level (-): Decrease volume level
PREVIOUS TRACK/NEXT TRACK : These buttons can be used to go back to the previous track or skip to the next track in your current playlist.
AUDIO OUT: Connect to the corresponding analog audio input of an amplifier, receiver or stereo system.
6 SUBW (SUBWOOFER) OUT : A Subwoofer can also be connected directly to the NODE 2. Connect SUBW OUT to a powered ("active") subwoofer.
COAX OUT: Using a coax cable (not provided), connect one end to the COAX OUT of the NODE 2 and the other end to the corresponding coax input of compatible devices such as receivers, computer soundcards or other digital processors.
8 OPTICAL OUT: Using a Digital Optical cable (not provided), connect one end to the OPTICAL OUT of the NODE 2 and the other end to the corresponding digital audio input of compatible devices such as receivers, computer soundcards or other digital processors.
9 OPTICAL IN/ANALOG IN: Using a 3.5mm Stereo Audio Cable (provided), connect one end to the Analog In of the NODE 2 and the other end to the corresponding analog output of other compatible devices. The source will show as an Analog Input in the Navigation Printer of the Bluesound app. Using the 3.5mm Mini Jack to Toslink adaptor (included with the NODE 2), a digital optical source can also be added. This will appear as Optical Input in the Navigation Printer.
10 TRIGGER OUT: A 12V DC signal is available using TRIGGER OUT. The 12V DC signal can be used to control or activate other external devices equipped with a corresponding 12V trigger input using a 3.5mm mono audio cable.
11 IR IN : An infrared extender can be connected to allow for programmable learning remotes to control volume and source selection when a NODE 2 is stored in a way that the front panel IR sensor is not visible.
LAN PORT : The LAN PORT connection can be used with the Ethernet cable provided. This is an optional connection since the NODE 2 can be connected to the network through a Wi-Fi connection to your router. To setup the NODE 2 using the LAN Port a Wired Ethernet connection is required. Using the Ethernet cable provided, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of your wired Ethernet broadband router and the other end to the NODE 2's LAN port.
13 USB (TYPE A): Connect a USB mass storage device to the USB input. Typical USB mass storage devices compatible with the NODE 2 include portable flash memory devices and external hard drives (FAT32 formatted).
14 SERVICE : Use the SERVICE port in conjunction with USB (Type B Mini) to initially load firmware on the Player. This is not for consumer use. Only Authorized Bluesound Service personnel can access this USB port and SERVICE control button.
15 AC MAINS INPUT: The NODE 2 comes supplied with two separate AC power cords. Select the AC power cord appropriate for your region. Before connecting the plug to the wall outlet, connect firmly the other end of the AC power cord to NODE 2's AC Mains input socket. Never force the plug into a wall outlet. An adaptor may be necessary in certain regions. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet first, before disconnecting the cable from the NODE 2's AC Mains input socket.
16 FRONT PANEL HEADPHONE JACK : A 3.5mm headphone jack is located on the front of the NODE 2.

WARNING!

THIS IS A FACTORY RESET OF YOUR PLAYER. ALL CUSTOMIZATION INCLUDING WI-FI NETWORK CONFIGURATION, FILE SHARES AND SAVED PLAYLISTS WILL BE LOST. YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-CREATE THESE ONCE COMPLETE. THIS PROCESS IS ONLY RECOMMENDED IF YOUR PLAYER IS NOT FUNCTIONING AND AN INTERNET FIRMWARE UPGRADE HAS FAILED. FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED BLUESOUND CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE BEFORE PROCEEDING!

Steps to Factory Reset:

1. Disconnect the player from electrical power.
2. Wait 10 seconds
3. Reconnect the power
4. The LED will flash Blue – once you see it turn Red, touch and hold the Play/Pause icon (it will immediately turn Green and then back to Red) – do not let go of the LED.
5. Once the LED turns back to Red, continue to hold the button for 30 seconds.
6. After 30 seconds, the LED will begin to blink red - then release the button.

All customization to the Bluesound player will be removed and restored to factory settings.

IMPORTANT: Removing your finger from the LED at any time before the LED begins flashing red will cancel the factory reset and leave the player in Upgrade Mode. Just start the steps again to factory reset the player.

You will know the factory reset is successful if the player returns to Hotspot mode (wireless connection - the LED will turn solid green). If the player is connected to your network through a wired Ethernet connection, it will simply connect as if it was a new player (LED will turn solid blue).
