USE AND FEATURES

To use the V90-Blue as a hi-fi Bluetooth receiver simply
plug the analogue outputs into existing an integrated, pre-
or power amplifier input e.g. AUX. The unit gives a standard
300mV nom line output and should work with all reputable
equipment.
Note: If used directly into a power amplifier BEWARE the
volume setting is then controlled by the Bluetooth sending
device and this volume must be carefully checked and set
accordingly!
If digital input/output is required, this is also catered for, in
both coaxial and optical forms. The unit accepts and passes
through up to 192kHz signals on coaxial, up to 96kHz on
optical. Either coaxial or optical type can be connected into
unoccupied digital inputs/outputs on a suitable Digital to
Analogue Converter or home theatre receiver, etc.
To use the V90-Blue as a hi-fi Bluetooth feed-in simply
break the existing setup at a convenient point, e.g. between
preamp and power amplifier. This applies for both analogue
or digital signals. Plug the outputs from preamplifier into V-
90 BLU inputs and then the V90-BLU outputs should be
connected to the power amplifier inputs (see note above).
The unit will then automatically switch over to Bluetooth as
soon as a connected device is present and play the music
coming through its Bluetooth function.

STATUS LED

The status LED is provided so it is possible to see when the
connection is active. It has two states when the V90-BLU is
switched on:
ORANGE – No connection
GREEN – Connection made and signal playing

PRIORITY SWITCH

The two DIGITAL inputs have a priority switch to set which
digital input is to be preferred over the other. If for example
the source on OPTICAL input is to be preferred, move the
switch in the direction of the optical inputs. If the priority
input has no signal present the unit will switch to the other
input to see if a signal is present. If no signal is found, the
unit will alternate between the two digital inputs until a
signal is connected/appears.
Connecting and playing a Bluetooth device takes top
priority and therefore will override the priority switch (as well
as the analogue input) at all times.

CLEAR/DISCONNECT SWITCH

The V90-BLU can remember up to 16 past connected
devices.
A momentary type toggle switch is provided to disconnect
and/or "forget" past connected devices.
To DISCONNECT CURRENT PLAYING DEVICE (but not
forget it), drop the switch to the "down" position for
approximately 1 second and release, allowing it to return to
centre position. The STATUS LED will flash
acknowledge the action.
To DISCONNECT CURRENT PLAYING DEVICE (and
forget it) lift the switch to the "up" position for approximately
1 second and release, allowing it to return to centre
position. The STATUS LED will flash
acknowledge the action.
To FORGET ALL PAST CONNECTED devices, make sure
no device is connected; momentarily lift the switch to the
"up" position and release, allowing it to return to centre
position.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the V90-BLU Bluetooth receiver.
It is designed to add high quality Bluetooth connectivity to
any existing high fidelity equipment. This allows material
stored on devices such as Bluetooth-capable mobile
phones to be controlled and played back through an
existing hi-fidelity setup. It can also function as a neutral
pass-through for both digital and analogue signals when the
Bluetooth source is not in use.
We sincerely hope that it will bring you many years of
outstanding listening pleasure.

Installation Precautions

Your new V90-BLU is designed and built to provide trouble-
free performance, but as with all electronic devices, it is
necessary to observe a few precautions:
Do not use the V90-BLU near water. The unit must not be
exposed to dripping or splashing liquids.
Keep the V90-BLU away from heat sources such as
radiators. No naked flame sources should be placed on the
unit.

Always switch off the equipment attached to the V90-BLU
before connecting or disconnecting power, changing leads
or inputs.

Inputs

Choose which inputs the unit will be using.
Digital optical – Use a normal TOSLINK cable (not supplied)
for best quality connection from other digital audio devices.
Digital coaxial – Use a normal coaxial cable (not supplied)
for best quality connection from other digital audio devices.
Analogue – Use standard RCA cables to connect analogue
signals from other sources.
Aerial – Plug in supplied aerial

Outputs

Choose which outputs the unit will be using.
Note: When using the digital or analogue inputs, presence
of a valid Bluetooth signal will cause the unit to
automatically switch to playing the Bluetooth music.
Also note the V90 Bluetooth
inputs into analogue outputs - nor vice versa
Digital optical – Use a normal TOSLINK cable (not supplied)
