almando Masterplay Installation Manual

ALMANDO MASTERPLAY - INSTALLATION MANUAL (ENGLISH)
IMPORTANT You can connect almando Masterplay to only ONE Bang & Olufsen Link product!
If you have multiple B&O link products, you have to resolve the common Masterlink
wiring. Each B&O link product has to be operated with its own almando Masterplay.
The almando Masterplay is compatible with these B&O link products:
BeoLab 3500, BeoLab 2000, LCS 9000, BeoLink Passive, BeoLink Active
SETUP These steps must be done only once to getting started:
1. Connect the B&O link product to the mains power supply.
2. Press the TIMER key on the Masterlink speaker or on the BeoLink IR eye.
The TIMER LED lights up red.
3. Connect the almando Masterplay and the B&O link product with a Masterlink cable.
4. Connect the almando Masterplay to the mains power supply.
5. IMPORTANT: Wait 20 seconds! (During this time, the registration is done)
6. Connect the audio source to the almando Masterplay
(e.g. B&O Playmaker, B&O BeoSound 5, Sonos Connect, Apple Airport Express).
7. Start the playback on the connected source.
8. Now configure DIP-switch 2:
- DIP 2 ON (top) for sources with trigger voltage (Powerlink), e.g. Playmaker,
BeoVision
- DIP 2 OFF (bottom) for sources without trigger voltage, e.g. Sonos Connect,
Apple Airport Express (operating mode: automatic signal detection)
(9.) If necessary configure DIP-switch 1 for the turn-off-delay:
(only for operating mode automatic signal detection):
- DIP 1 ON (top)
- DIP 1 OFF (bottom) turn-off-delay 2 minutes
10. Configure your B&O link product to option 6 in order to adjust the sound settings
to your personal preference (in particular, the maximum volume for a pleasant
volume control with your iPhone for example).
This can be stored permanently as the default setting.
For Beolab 3500 / LCS 9000 we recommend: vol.60
To do this, you need a B&O remote control (e.g. Beo4 or Beolink 1000).
The required key sequence will vary depending on the B&O remote control or type of
B&O link product. Detailed information is available in your B&O manual.
11. IMPORTANT: Finally, configure your B&O link product to option 0.
NOTE For the daily operation of your Bang & Olufsen link product you don't need the
B&O remote control anymore. Just start the playback on the connected source
and the B&O link product will be switched on automatically.
The volume can be controlled on the source itself (e.g. with the iPhone)
turn-off-delay ½ minute
