Monitor Active 2000 - Connecting Audio Sources to the Active Speaker

1. Connection to an amplifier, AV receiver or other analogue audio source
   Connect the audio input of the active loudspeaker (RCA IN, Fig. 2 (6)) to the audio output on the device using an RCA stereo audio cable.
   CAUTION: The switch (Fig. 2 (4)) must be set to LINE.
    
2. Connecting a record player to the active loudspeaker
   Connect the audio input of the active loudspeaker (RCA IN, Fig. 2 (6)) to the audio output on the record player using an RCA stereo audio cable. In addition, the earth wire of the record player (where present) has to be connected to the screw terminal (Fig. 2 (5)).
   CAUTION: The switch (Fig. 2 (4)) must be set to PHONO.
    
3. Connect to a headphone jack or pre-amplifier output with 3.5mm jack
   Connect the audio input of the active loudspeaker (AUX IN, Fig. 2 (7)) to the headphone output on your amplifier, TV, MP3 player, smartphone, etc. using a 3.5 mm audio cable/3.5 mm stereo jack.
    
4. Connecting to digital audio sources
   Connect the audio input of the active loudspeaker (Digital IN, Fig. 2 (8)) to the digital output on your CD player, computer, games console, network player or TV using an optical digital audio cable.
   PLEASE NOTE: The digital input is suitable for stereo signals up to 24 bit/192kHz 5. 
    
5. Connection to a Bluetooth device
   Switch the active loudspeaker to the Bluetooth input. If you have previously connected a Bluetooth device, the sound deck will automatically attempt to re-establish a connection with this device. If this is the case, you may be required to manually reconfirm the connection on the source device.
   
   If a connection has not already been made or the connection cannot be re-established, activate the ‚pairing mode‘. To switch the speaker to the pairing mode, briefly press the PAIR button (Fig. 3, (18)) on the remote control. The blue STBY/Pair LED (Fig. 1, (1)) will flash quickly whenever the pairing mode is active.
   
   Now activate the Bluetooth mode on your source device. The speaker will appear in the list of Bluetooth devices as „Monitor Active 2000“.  If it is not displayed in the list, set your source device to search for Bluetooth devices manually and make sure that the speaker has been switched to the pairing mode.
   
   Depending on the source device, you may be asked whether the password is to be accepted during the pairing procedure. You can confirm this by simply pressing „Accept“. If you are still asked for a password, use the default passwords „0000“ or „1234“. If you are asked if you want to establish a connection after pairing, please select „Yes“. When the device has been paired and connected successfully the LED status indicator will illuminate continuously blue.
   
   NOTE:
   Please check whether the output of the audio source
   a) has a fixed volume level or
   b) the level can be adjusted with the volume controller of the audio source.
   In case a) you can adjust the volume using the remote control of the MAGNAT Monitor Active 2000; in case b) the level of the audio source should be set to a maximum level where no distortions can be heard at the highest volume setting of the Monitor Active 2000. The volume of the audio source should also be taken into account. No distortions should be evident here either.
