`Box contents.
`
`First, you might want to check the contents of your box. In doing so, you should come across
`the following items:
`
`• The Player,
`• a remote control unit with batteries,
`• a power chord,
`• a cinch-chord,
`• one MP3 demo CD,
`• screws for installing the optional hard disk,
`this manual,
`•
`• a menu overview
`• and finally, a registration card.

`
`

`

`Setup, maintenance and safety directions.
`
`• The player needs to be placed on a level and dry surface to avoid fire, damage, or electrical
`shocks.
`
`• Keep it away from radiators and hi-fi equipment. This will avoid excessive heat building up.
`In particular, do not place any devices with no feet and nothing containing liquids like bot-
`tles or plant pots on your m3po.
`
`• When connecting to an AC outlet, ensure that the correct voltage is supplied to the m3po.
`If you don’t use the m3po for a longer period of time, you disconnect it. To avoid short cir-
`•
`cuits, never pull on the cable, pull on the plug instead. You should also disconnect the
`m3po during thunderstorms.
`
`•
`
`•
`
`If you open the case to install a hard disk, you must disconnect it first! In addition, please
`follow the instructions in this manual to the letter.
`
`If the player is exposed to strong temperature fluctuations, leave it for about one hour
`
`withoutwithout connecting it, as condensation could have built up inside the case, which could
`
`withoutwithout
`compromise its functionality.
`
`!!
`
`Important: the m3po incorporates a class 1 laser product which oper-
`ates with invisible, potentially hazardous laser beams.
`
`• Clean the m3po-Player with a dry or slightly damp, non-fuzzy cloth. Chemical cleaning
`products may damage the surface and should not be used.
`
`Tip! After installing the hard disk, check the case for any small ani-
`mals or rodents (Mice, moths, etc.).

`The battery.
`
`Inside the case, we have installed the following battery type:
`
`Description:
`Type:
`Primary:

`
`Install new batteries only after consulting our technicians and make sure you insert it correctly
`('+' facing upwards).
`
`Never subject the battery to fire or high temperature. It could leak or even explode. When dis-
`posing of the battery, please do so in an appropriate manner.
`
`The power supply.
`
`The power supply runs on 40W with a voltage of 110 to 230 Volt at 50 to 60 Hertz. The unit is
`fused internally at 250 V/3,15A. Do not attempt to change the fuse yourself, instead consult
`our technicians).
`
`
`Summary: Summary: Simply apply 'common sense' when using the m3po. Deliberate damage is not cov-

`
`

`

`Welcome.
`
`Great that you have chosen TerraTec's new m3po. This player belongs to a new era of Hi-fi
`components. You have probably used a CD Player before and most of the basic functions will
`be familiar to you. TerraTec's m3po, however, takes this concept one step further and incorpo-
`rates the possibilities of modern Computer and Internet possibilities into a desirable and typi-
`cal piece of Hi-fi kit.
`
`In this manual, we would like to introduce you to this device as informatively and entertain-
`ingly as possible. Again, most of the basic functions will already be familiar to you. The in-
`depth concept of the m3po and its true capabilities, however, will be described by us in this
`manual. In addition, you will hear about some of the Internet’s possibilities, as well as tips and
`tricks of how to archive your music in the MP3 format.
`
`We hope you enjoy this manual
`
`... Your TerraTec Team!
`
`Quick guide to the manual.
`
`In order to make this manual as efficient as possible, we have highlighted certain contents in
`different ways.
`
`A short summary of several paragraphs or explicitly important pas-
`sages will be framed.
`
`!
`
`• Display messages on the m3po-Player, are printed in a different font.
`• Filenames, which appear in the display of your m3po-Player are printed in a differ-
`ent font.
`Internet Links are printed in a different font.
`•
`• " ;-)" indicates a joke. Haha.

`
`m3po
`
`

`

`Unpack and go! The quick-start tour.
`
`Here we have a quick-guide for experienced users, who have used a
`CD Player in the past. As the SELECT Wheel has a multitude of func-
`tions, we presume a certain standard setting for this tour (page 28).
`
`!
`
`Having unpacked and connected your m3po, the player is ready to go. Power and cinch-chords
`are to be connected in the usual way. If you want to continue to use your existing CD Player,
`you may use any input but the phone socket to connect the m3po.
`
`Switch on the m3po-Player and take a look at the display. The machine takes a few seconds to
`search for internal drives (more on this later).
`
`The message "No CD in drive" will appear. Press EJECT and insert a CD (for the purpose of this
`tour, please use the supplied demo CD) in the usual way with the label facing upwards. Close
`the drawer by pressing EJECT for the second time. At this point it should be mentioned, that if
`your m3po has already a hard disk installed, it will display the main path of the internal HD.
`However, this should not stop you from pressing EJECT for the second time.
`
`The machine will display "Scanning for files" and the m3po starts searching for MP3
`files. Turn the SELECT Wheel clockwise until you find "Welcome m3po" .
`Press SELECT , that’s all. The m3po now plays the chosen title.
`
`m3po
`

`
`

`

`What’s next?
`
`While m3po does its duty, we’ll take a look at what else we can find on the CD. Press SELECT
`and keep turning – you will find three different symbols in the display window:
`
`• Note – The note indicates a MP3 title. Press SELECT and you can start playing that title at
`once (or, in "DJ Mode", pre-select that title. More on this later).
`
`• Table – the small table (horizontal lines) represents the playlist. The playlist is a pre-
`selected sequence of titles you wish the m3po to play. More on this on page 44.
`
`• Arrow – the arrow pointing downwards indicates a file (or directory) in which you can find
`titles, playlists or more files.
`
`Chose the file "www.callasong.de" and then another file (you won’t find any titles or play-
`lists here), which you think might be interesting. You do this exactly the same way as before:
`simply chose and select.
`
`Now you will see a number of titles in the display (unless, of course you have accidentally cho-
`sen the "Intro" file ... there you will find only one title). Play any one of the songs by pressing
`SELECT. "Welcome m3po" will stop and the new song commences. Pretty quick, no?
`
`Bottom right of the display will show NXT. This abbreviation stands for "next" and indicates
`the next title. Now press the display button (soft button, bottom left to the wheel). The next
`title will now be played. This button always carries out, whatever function is displayed on the
`bottom right-hand corner.
`
`Stopping playback requires your pushing one button: the STOP button. Surprised? Hope not.
`
`Finally, we climb the ladder back up to the top level of the CD. To do so, press UP twice. If
`everything has worked, then you will be presented with the same data as when you first in-
`serted the CD.
`
`Now you can explore the m3po on your own, The general functions should be clear by now.
`More detailed information, however, is what this manual is all about. And it starts overleaf.
`
`Enjoy.

`

`

`Setup and connection.
`
`This chapter is dedicated to the m3po-Players necessary preparations
`prior to operating it.
`
`!
`
`• Carefully remove the m3po-Player from its packaging and place it on a dry and level sur-
`face − ideally on a hi-fi rack.
`• Connect the supplied cinch-cable to the AUDIO OUT socket of the m3po-Player and the
`other end to a vacant input on your hi-fi amplifier. You can use the CD, TAPE or AUX socket.
`The PHONO socket is a definite nono, as this operates on a different input sensitivity. You
`also need to consider the color coding of the plugs: Red goes to the right input, white (or
`black) to the left.
`If necessary, consult your amplifiers manual on alternative connecting options.
`
`What else can I connect the m3po to?
`
`Your m3po can also be connected to a pair of active speakers (with integrated pre-amps). Even
`the connection to the line in of a compatible computer soundcard is a possibility, but not really
`ingenious (the m3po has not been designed with this application in mind).
`
`Remember: The m3po-Player cannot be digitally connected to other devices.
`
`• Plug the power chord into a power outlet.
`Insert the supplied batteries into the remote control unit.
`•
`
`m3po
`
`11
`
`

`

`You will also find a headphone socket. This is located under the POWER button on the front
`panel. The volume can be adjusted in the m3po menu "Volume (Phones). (page 30).
`
`Your m3po is now ready. Following is a description of the various functions and how to access
`them. You could follow the tour at the beginning of this manual (page 9) if you have not done
`this already and if you are already familiar with the basic functions of the player.
`
`The m3po can be integrated into a 19" rack module, the optional
`"rackit!". You can order it over the Internet.
`
`!
`
`12
`
`m3po
`
`

`

`What is the m3po and what can it do?
`
`Your new m3po-Player is very similar to a standard CD player. However, there are a number of
`differences, as the m3po is fundamentally more versatile and more powerful. Don’t worry, this
`does not make it any more complicated.
`
`The m3po is capable of playing standard (Audio) CDs. The operation is akin to a CD player:
`Insert CD, chose title, press PLAY. In addition to this, it can read and play MP3 data. These can
`be located on a CD-ROM, or an optional hard disk. The m3po cannot record.
`
`Why MP3?
`
`MP3 is currently the most common format for music on the Internet. Its main advantage is the
`small size of its audio files, as described in the following example: If you record a standard
`audio CD on your home PC, then this will use about 650 Megabyte (MB) of hard disk space.
`Converting this into MP3 files, you are presented with only 1/11 of its original size, roughly
`60MB. If the files contain nothing but speech (i.e. language courses), the size of the file can be
`reduced to 1/25 of its original size, without losing too much of its sound quality. This is quite
`useful, as you can see:
`
`1:1
`
`11:1
`
`25:1
`
`CD-Audio
`
`MP3 128kBit/s
`
`MP3 56kBit/s
`
`You will find more information on MP3 in the chapter "Useful informa-
`tion on MP3" on page 46.
`
`!
`
`You can burn your MP3 files onto CD-R in your computer and it is exactly this feature which
`distinguishes the m3po from other MP3 players: The CD is much more efficient and cheaper
`than conventional MP3 players, which use flash ROM chips to store data.
`
`m3po
`
`13
`
`

`

`Housekeeping.
`
`Back to your player: Your new m3po plays audio and data Ds. As the CD-R stores eleven times
`more music than conventional audio CDs, you will need to find a way to keep everything in
`order and not get lost in this audio jungle. If you own a PC, then you will know the file struc-
`ture on your hard disk: Programs are located in files, documents, like letters etc in other
`places. So it makes sense to apply the same approach to filing your MP3-files (classical, Hard-
`core Gabba or Zappa).
`
`Files which are located on a CD-ROM, will be displayed as such: a small arrow in the display
`indicates these files. And here we have the main difference between the m3po and a CD
`player: You 'move' through the directory and chose the titles by name and not by number –
`for this you only need to use the wheel and the 'UP' (back )button.
`
`14
`
`m3po
`
`

`

`Anything else?
`
`Yes, the m3po can do even more. It can search for titles, it allows you to compile your own
`playlists, display information about any title (data rates or ID tags), pre-select titles while a
`different one is playing and vary the playback speed without – like a record player* – changing
`the pitch. All these functions can be accessed via the display and controlled with the buttons
`on the front panel or the remote control unit.
`
`Following is a description of all the buttons, and functions "hidden behind the display". You
`could follow the tour at the beginning of this manual (page 9) if you have not done this al-
`ready.
`
`* For the ones too young to remember: A record is a spinning disc made from black vinyl,
`which by the end of the 20th century were only used by 'DJs' ... ;-)

`

`

`Using the m3po.
`
`The m3po-Player can be operated easily and intuitively via its front panel or its remote control
`unit. Apart from the display, the most important element is the SELECT wheel, which doubles
`up as a button. The UP button takes you to a higher level within the operating menu, MENU
`calls up the menu and its various settings and STOP will not be explained at all. You might take
`offence ;-). The same applies to the EJECT and POWER buttons.
`
`The LC Display.
`
`The Display on the m3po is like a communication port to the player. Here you find all the in-
`formation to operate the unit, as well as information on the chosen titles (ID Tags). The display
`shows file names and folders, which are located on the CD (you can find more information on
`folders in "What is the m3po and what can it do?" on page 13).
`
`While navigating around the CD or hard disk or while a title is being played, The display will
`indicate the current playback mode. The "Play mode" and "Repeat & Shuffle" mode can be
`combined freely. The abbreviations stand for the following:
`
`1. Letter ...
`
`for play mode
`
`2. Letter ...
`
`for Shuffle&Repeat

`
`For example: "AN" stands for playback of all titles in sequence. "PS" stands for playback of
`the playlist in shuffle mode, or random play.
`
`* The "DJ Mode" is always the normal mode. Repeat and shuffle are of course pointless in this
`mode.
`
`16
`
`m3po
`
`

`

`You will find three different symbols in the display window:
`
`• Note – The note indicates an MP3 title. Press SELECT and you can start playing that title at
`once (or, in "DJ Mode", pre-select that title. More in this later).
`
`• Table – the small table (horizontal lines) represents the playlist. The playlist to program a
`sequence of titles you want the m3po to play. More on this on page 44.
`
`• Arrow – the arrow pointing downwards indicates a file (or index) in which you can find ti-
`tles, playlists or more files.
`
`Finally, the display window opens up the functions of the menu, which can be called up by
`pressing MENU. All menu functions are described in detail on page 19.
`
`m3po
`
`17
`
`

`

`The SELECT wheel / enter button.
`
`The SELECT wheel is the main navigation tool of the m3po. Dialing clockwise takes your
`deeper into the menu, counterclockwise takes you back up. Pressing the wheel, will carry out
`that function, enters a submenu, changes folders or plays a pre-selected title. In the latter case
`the display changes its mode and now shows the ID Tags, if available. To carry on navigating,
`you will need to press the wheel again.
`
`The UP button.
`
`Once you have navigated into a folder (for example Bach in the classical folder), you can
`move up by one level by pressing the UP button. For example: Press once to return to clas-
`sical, twice to go back to the start. If you press the UP button again, you will go back to
`choosing CD or hard disk, provided there is one installed.
`
`The display button (Soft button).
`
`Under the wheel to the left, you will find the display button, whose functions depend on the
`settings on the m3po. Usually, the display will present you with whatever function the button
`is currently offering. This could be choosing the next title (NXT), the escape function (ESC).

`
`m3po offers a multitude of menu settings. You gain access to the menu by pressing the MENU
`button. If you don’t carry out any functions at this point for a few seconds, the display switches
`back to displaying the song title. All menu functions will be described in detail in the chapter
`"The menu functions" on page 19.
`

`
`m3po
`
`

`

`The STOP button.
`
`All right: Pressing STOP will stop the playback of the current title. The STOP button is just that
`– a PAUSE function is only available via the remote control unit.
`
`The EJECT button.
`
`Just like conventional CD players, this will open and close the CD tray. After a short time, the
`drawer closes automatically in order not to catch any unnecessary dust or to double up as a
`can holder. By the way, the unauthorized opening of the drawer can be prevented using the
`Party Lock function (page 29).
`
`Emergency Exit.
`
`If the CD is damaged and the m3po "hangs", switch the player off. Hold down the EJECT button
`and switch the player back on. The drawer opens and you can take out the CD.
`
`Tip: This function is also available in "Party Lock" (page 29).

`

`The menu functions.
`
`Pressing the MENU button will open all the menu functions. Following is detailed information
`on the in-depth functions of the m3po.
`
`Please remember, that some functions will only be displayed, if there is an optional hard disk
`installed.
`
`Play mode.
`
`In play mode, you determine, which titles are to be played. An Introscan is also possible. The
`following options are available:
`
`All songs
`
`Plays all songs in sequence.
`
`All in folder
`
`Plays all songs in one folder.
`
`One song only
`
`Plays only one song.
`
`My Playlist
`
`Introscan
`
`DJ
`
`Plays the playlist in sequence once.
`
`Like "All Songs", but plays only the first few seconds of each song.
`The introscan time can be determined in the MORE menu (page 28).
`
`Like "All Songs" but you can select one or more titles, which are to be
`played at the end of the current song using the wheel. More informa-
`tion on this is coming up.
`
`Pressing ..back takes you back to the main menu.
`
`DJ Mode.
`
`The DJ Mode is, as you may have guessed, one of THE party tools of the m3po. In DJ mode,
`you can pre-select titles, which will then be played in the sequence you selected them, basi-
`cally, it is a mini-playlist (up to 10 titles), i.e. in case you need to go and get some more drinks,
`or are involved in a chit-chat you wish would never end.
`
`The operation is quick and easy:
`
`• Switch play mode to DJ and the wheel to SELECT (important, as you need to choose the
`titles).
`
`• Choose a title using the wheel. If no song is playing at that time, this song (the (first song)
`will be played immediately.
`
`• Every other title you select, will be listed for playback and marked with a "+". Playback of
`the selected song starts automatically after the current one.
`
`20
`
`m3po
`
`

`

`• The displays shows in the bottom line, how many songs are still outstanding. For every
`added title, you will see a horizontal bar exactly between the two timing points. For more
`than 5 titles, 3 dots will be shown.
`
`• Spending some time at the bar, won’t be a problem now – don’t forget to engage the Party
`Lock (see page 29). ;-)
`

`
`As you have seen in the chapter "Using the m3po", the play mode and the repeat&shuffle
`mode can be combined freely. This makes it possible to repeat songs from only one folder, or
`to play songs from one playlist in shuffle mode. To keep you up-to-date, which mode is cur-
`rently in operation, the display will show a simple combination of letters, which will tell you
`what is going on. You can read more on "The LC Display" on page 16.
