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!

ENGLISH
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!

Server software is provided on the installation CD. For installation, insert the CD
in your computer. Usually, installation shall start automatically once the CD is
recognized by the system. If not, launch the file “setup.exe” by double-clicking on
it in the file manager. The installation wizard will be opened:
• First, the wizard will check whether the .NET framework 2.0 is installed on
your computer. If not, it will install it automatically.
• The installation of the Media Server software asks you for starting. Click
NEXT.
• Read the License Agreement, if ok check the I agree checkbox and click
NEXT.
18
ENGLISH

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.
