10. Bluetooth
Upon powering up the CRBT, the Bluetooth function
is either:
(1) In sleep mode and the Bluetooth LED is off.
See ‘Pairing and Connecting for the first time’ below.
(2) Paired and Connected and the Bluetooth LED
is on. See ‘Previously Paired and Connected Devices’
below.
Pairing Paired and Connecting for the first time:
To enter pairing mode, press and hold the
Bluetooth button for two seconds. The button LED
will illuminate and flash for approximately 30 seconds
while in pairing mode. [The LED will continue to flash
until it has successfully paired and connected].
While CRBT is in pairing mode, simultaneously
scan for Bluetooth devices on your device. You should
see CRBT appear in the “available devices” list. From
there, your Bluetooth device should indicate that it
is successfully connected. Additionally, the Bluetooth
button will stop flashing and remain solid. If it does
not, start the pairing process again, and make sure that
CRBT and your device are both in pairing mode at the
same time.
Previously Paired and Connected Devices:
The Bluetooth connection will disconnect if it’s out
of range. Previously paired and connected devices will
automatically reconnect and the Bluetooth button LED
will illuminate (
if the volume knob is at least clicked
on
).
While your Bluetooth device is connected to
a CRBT, you can quickly press the Bluetooth
button on the front of the unit to pause/
play your audio (the same as if you’d pressed
pause/play on your device).
Input Signal Wiring
Included with the CRBT Series multimedia monitors
are multiple accessories, including:
• 1/8" to stereo RCA cable to connect computer
output to speakers
• Speaker-to-speaker cable
Even though these cables are included, they might
need to be replaced at some point [e.g. cats play tug-
of-war, kid uses it as a whip, you use it as a makeshift
tourniquet, etc.]. Or perhaps you prefer to use the 1/4"
inputs. If so, we recommend using high-quality, shielded
cables to connect the signal source to the signal input
jack [3] on CRBT Series multimedia monitors.
Three types of input connectors are provided to
interface with virtually any application you may have:
• Balanced TRS / Unbalanced TS cables work well
with the 1/4" inputs.
• Unbalanced phono cables work well with the RCA
inputs.
• Balanced TRS cables work well with the 1/8" inputs.
NOTE:
Route the cable away from AC power cords
and outlets. These are common sources for hum
in an audio signal. Wall warts and line lumps are
especially insidious hum inducers!
NOTE:
In certain home theater applications, it may
be necessary to connect the speaker outputs from a
stereo receiver to the inputs of the CR Series reference
monitors if the receiver doesn’t have preamp outputs
or other line-level output connections.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to connect
a speaker output directly to the 1/4"
or RCA inputs of the powered CRBT Series
multimedia monitor! Speaker levels are much higher
than line levels and can damage the input circuitry
in the CRBT Series multimedia monitors.
However, it is possible to insert a speaker-level
to line-level signal attenuator between the receiver’s
speaker output and the powered CRBT Series
multimedia monitor’s input. Any local authorized dealer
should be able to assist, or you can build your own.
Care and Cleaning
CRBT Series multimedia monitors will provide many
years of reliable service if you follow these guidelines.
• Avoid exposing the monitors to moisture.
• Avoid exposure to extreme cold (below freezing
temperatures).
• Use a dry cloth to clean the cabinets.
Only do this when the power is turned off.
