3. Assembly

Basic assembly of this system is very easy to do.

Please connect all components only when they are switched off.

• Connect the SMR with the audio cable to your audio system - or connect

your headphone to the appropriate outputs at the SMR rear panel.

Note: during headphone connections, the Line output is set to mute!

• Setup and connect your computer network, if required.

• Connect the SMR to the SMR power supply (DC connector).

• Connect the BRC charger stand to the BRC power supply (Mini USB

connector).

• Before connections, check your mains power system to be appropriate to

the WAP-5000.

• Connect the power adaptors to mains supply.

• Switch on the main power switch at the back of the SMR.

• Switch on the BRC by short press (1 s) the Power button (1).

• By long (> 3 s) pushing the Power button (1), the whole WAP-5000 system

(BRC and SMR) is switched into standby.

Switching standby on/off as well as volume and all other control functions of your

WAP-5000 system can be done by the buttons of the BRC. The LC display in the

BRC does not only display the received commands but it can also receive

contents from SMR such as music track playback data, cover pictures etc, all

displayed in the remote control right in your hand!

Since WAP-5000 can playback audio files from LAN, WLAN, Internet Radio,

connected USB storage and from Line Input, there are various settings possible.

Please read the related chapters to setup your WAP-5000 correctly for best

performance with all sources.

First read about BRC stand and battery charging, then check your network

settings while already listen to music from a USB storage – its all easy!

Tip: please visit www.teac.de to check for new firmware for your WAP-5000.

New firmware contains latest corrections and often it adds essential new features

into your device!

-- We do recommend, always to update for the latest firmware! --

TEAC is always active to offer you the best possible features for your WAP5000!

4. BRC stand usage and battery charge

The BRC contains a powerful rechargable Lithium Ion battery, which allows many

hours of wireless operation for the WAP-5000 system, due to high battery

capacity and the integrated power saving management of the BRC.

Before first wireless BRC usage, the battery requires recharging.

Connect the BRC power supply with mini USB plug to the backside connector of

the stand. You might also directly connect the power supply to the BRC, but

using the stand is more convenient.

To place the BRC in the stand, hold it against the inclined stand front wall, ensure

the BRC groove can match with the stand wall center rib (!) and slide fully down

the BRC to connect to the USB connector of the stand. To avoid damage of the

USB connector, please do not to slide up/down the BRC at irregular angle!

Releasing the BRC from stand can be done with one hand: put the thump in the

bay below the BRC and the fingers to lay on the stand’s top cavity. By pulling up

the BRC by the thump, automatically grasp it securely by the whole hand.

Do not pull the BRC off the stand forward, because this may damage the

stand USB connector! For long lifetime of all components, always hold the BRC

against the stand’s front wall, sliding it up and down in parallel with its back

against the stand front wall.

The BRC can be operated while placed in the stand.

Note: due to connected power supply, the BRC will keep uninterrupted displaying

the playback contents and bluetooth connection. You can operate all functions

while charging. Charging control even works when switched to Standby!

The charging progress you can control by the flashing battery symbol in the

display headline: Red = battery low, Yellow = medium charge, Green = fully

charged. When the battery is fully charged, flashing of the battery symbol stops.

In case of green and not flashing battery symbol, charging procedure is switched

off. If you keep the BRC on the stand with power supply connected, the

uninterrupted display and bluetooth connection will not discharge the battery.

Note: If you aim for not using your WAP-5000 for longer time, disconnect the

BRC from charger and disconnect it from mains, to avoid unexpected discharge

of the battery. Also disconnect the power supply of the SMR.

Under normal usage conditions after full charge, the BRC might be operated for

several days before recharging will be required. In case of extensive usage

(display/bluetooth all time active) the BRC can be operated apprx. 8 hours. But

uninterrupted usage is not usual without power supply. If you aim for continous

display and instand access all time, you can connect the BRC to power supply

(operate the BRC on the stand).

ENGLISH

5. Pairing the BRC and SMR

The data interchange between BRC and SMR of the WAP-5000 is realized by a

bluetooth data radio transmission system. Benefits of bluetooth systems are the

definite identification between the connected partners and the transmission by

radio signals, which do not require visible connection between transmitter and

receiver. BRC and SMR can both transmit and receive data.

After first power on, the BRC shows a

“pairing” screen. This screen appears

when there is no known connection

between BRC and SMR. Select “ENTER”

to start the pairing process, to let BRC and

SMR find a usable connection. The

process takes about one minute. When the

BRC has found more than one bluetooth

devices, please select the WAP-5000 SMR

for connection by moving the bar by BRC

up/down keys and then confirm by ENTER

and EXIT this screen. You then will see the main screen, which shows system

informations and it allows to navigate through several audio sources as well as

setup preferences.

Note: If you have more than one WAP-5000 in your house, bluetooth ensures

only the one paired SMR is controlled by the paired BRC!

8. Recording of Internet Radio contents

WAP-5000 can record the contents of the actual playing internet radio station and

store it as an audio file onto your USB storage device.

NOTE: for the recording function, an USB storage with free available memory

connected to WAP-5000 SMR is required! The USB storage must not be

separated from SMR during the recording session!

ATTENTION: please consider the recording requires – depending from

datastream quality – apprx. 0.5-3 MB memory per minute! It is recommended to

provide plenty of USB storage memory when starting a recording!

• Start Internet Radio playback as explained above.

• Press the OPTIONS button (6) and select “Record to USB Storage“ from

the options menu.

• Press the OK button (8) to start the recording. Recording is working!

Playback of internet radio is continued at the same time.

• To stop the recording, call the OPTIONS menu and select “Stop

Recording“.and press OK.

• The recording will be stored under an automatically created track name,

which contains the station name, date and running number. The File can be

found in the root directory of your USB storage.

NOTE: in case of reception interruptions during a recording session, the actual

file will be closed and the recording is continued in another file once the received

audio stream continues. Since WAP-5000 can playback audio files in a row

“gapless“ (without interruptions between tracks), the resulting tracks (files) can

playback smoothly in one turn, under the precondition there was no data loss

during the recording session.

The digital audio stream will be recorded to the USB storage exactly as it is

received from internet radio station. Therefore, the provided audio quality is not

changed during the recording session.

In internet radio data stream there is no standard marking for tracks separation.

Therefore, the data stream is recorded without blanks in a single file (comparable

to a classic tape recording of radio broadcast). For long recordings. it can be

useful to note down the radio station informations, in case they are provided.

If you require renaming, cutting and transcoding of a recording, this can easily be

done with your USB storage connected to a PC. Since there are numerous free

or commercial software programs available for this job, we cannot point out any

recommendations here.
