We are proud to have you as a customer. Before you start to set-up your M51 up, we would recommend that you take some time to study this manual so that you can get the most from the audio-visual qualities and features which the product offers. Starting from today, you will be able to enjoy concert hall and cinema sounds and pictures in the quality which you would expect from Revox products. The modular manual The original concept of modularity with the M51 has been carried on in the design of the manual. This means that there isn't one big manual but rather a set of basic instructions for the main M51 unit and then an individual chapter for each module. If you expand your M51 through the addition of an extra module, you will just insert the new chapter into your manual file, thereby bringing your documentation up to date. Enjoy! 3 Introduction Re:system M51 II Safety For your own safety, please take note of the labels on the rear of the unit: This symbol indicates the presence of potentially dangerously high voltages within the unit. An electric shock can result if such components are touched. In order to avoid the risk of an electric shock, no parts of the housing should be removed. Maintenance and repairs should only be carried out by qualified personnel. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT This symbol is used to highlight important passages in the documentation concerning the operation and maintenance of the unit. WARNING If the housing is opened, dangerous laser and electromagnetic radiation could be present. 4 Introduction Re:system M51 II Installation and operation After unpacking the unit, please check it for any damage which may have been caused in transit. Before setting the unit up, please read the manual through carefully. It should be kept somewhere handy for future reference. The unit should not be powered up if it shows evidence of any mechanical damage or if liquid may have got inside the unit. Only use the power cable supplied. Check the power supply and the unit's electrical connection values in terms of voltage and frequency, before connecting to the power. The fuses used in the unit must conform to the factory settings detailed in the "Technical Data". Safety measures Unusual occurrences If you notice any unusual noises or smells coming from the unit, remove the power cable immediately. Take the unit to your nearest Revox dealer to be checked as soon as possible. Don't open the unit The unit should not be opened to avoid the risk of electrocution. Periods of non-use If the unit is not going to be used for a while, we recommend that the unit be unplugged for safety reasons.

The terms of the guarantee cover material and working time during the period of the guarantee, which is determined by the Sales Partners in the individual EU countries. In all countries, the guarantee from the Revox dealer is offered in addition to the legal regulations in force in the country. It is only valid in the country of purchase. If you wish to make a claim on the guarantee, you must be able to show that the product was bought from an authorised Revox partner. In the event of any unauthorised work on the unit or any incorrectly carried out repairs, the guarantee is rendered invalid. Location of the unit When choosing where to install your unit, you should avoid a location which: - has direct sunlight - is next to any source of heat - has poor ventilation - has a dusty atmosphere - is unstable - has high humidity You must ensure that the ventilation slots in your M51 are not covered, in order to ensure sufficient ventilation. 6 Introduction Re:system M51 II M51 - The concept · Scalability The M51 will grow as your demands and requirements grow. Using this modular concept, you can build your own personal M51. Simply insert the required modules into the corresponding slots at the rear of the unit and switch on. Future-secure What type of signal information will there be in the future? It doesn't matter because you'll always be up to date. Revox will always offer you new modules based on cutting-edge development technologies. Economics We haven't forgotten the economic and financial aspects of the product either. You just buy the modules you need. There's no component redundancy and you don't have to pay for anything you don't need. · Communication What do I need to connect Unit A to Unit B and are they going to understand each other? No worries for an M51 owner. All connections are integrated and each module "speaks the same language". · · The aesthetics of operation Many tasks, just one component. Just let your imagination run free. The M51 will follow all your commands to the letter. · · Philosophy of Excellence It's not only the accuracy of our clocks which links the Black Forest to Switzerland, but also the development and production of the M51. You can count on Revox Quality and Service today, tomorrow and for the rest of your M51's working life. 7 Introduction Re:system M51 II Getting started Before you can enjoy your M51 for the first time, you'll need to make a few connections. You must be careful to keep the correct polarity in order to ensure perfect sound reproduction. Crossed polarity doesn't cause any damage to the speaker or the M51, but it leads to an imprecise bass and a somewhat diffused sound picture. If you are not intending to attach all 5 speakers, the other terminal connections simply remain unused. Power cable You should only use the Revox supplied power cable and you must ensure that the voltage printed next to the power connection i.e. (115V/230v) is actually what the power supply is delivering. If necessary, the M51 can be retrofitted for a different voltage, which should only be carried out by an authorized dealer. Head phones You will find the headphone connection on the left at the front of the unit. It can be used with all normally available headphones with a 6.3 mm stereo jack plug and an impedance of 16 or more. Connections Speaker Amplifier The cable which you use to connect your speakers with the M51 should be of a suitable diameter. Revox recommends: 0 ­ 5 m length: min. 2.5 mm2 ( 13 AWG ) ( 11 AWG ) 5 ­10 m length: min. 4.0 mm2 Each speaker must have an impedance of 4 or more. You must ensure that all the strands of the cable are held within the speaker connector and that none of them touch any neighbouring connectors or the housing of the M51. A good solution for speaker connections is the use of fully insulated banana plugs. These are inserted into the 4 mm terminal block opening having been firmly attached beforehand. 8 Introduction Re:system M51 II M51 Link The M51 offers a wide range of useful and practical extension products. These so-called interfaces enable access to other systems and/ or offer many control and operational comfort solutions, through the M51 Link. Here are some examples: M200 / M200 EIB Intelligent domestic building management with relay and dimmer functions as well as a serial interface for PC and Revox video products and domestic Building Management Systems such as EIB. M201 IR Interface for the connection of external IR receivers (M204) or wall-mounted panels (M218). M202 Ethernet Interface to integrate the M51 and all the Additional rooms into one network (LAN) or for the addition of a wireless control unit with Pocket PCs (WLAN). All these interfaces are connected to the M51 Link, which is located on the rear of the M51 above the power plug (see leaflet Chapter ­ Introduction). You need an RJ11-4 telephone plug for the connection. PC-Link The PC Link offers a USB interface for the computer. Using this, the M51 can be controlled through the M230 Revox PC Control software. The correct USB driver must be installed on the PC in order to be able to use the M230 software, which can be downloaded free-of-charge from www.revox.de. You will also find this driver software in the Download Area on the Revos Homepage. The PC-Link is located on the rear of the M51 above the power plug (see leaflet Chapter ­ Introduction). 9 Introduction Re:system M51 II Switch on Mains There are two ways to turn your M51 on and off. There is one switch (AC-Power) on the rear of the unit and another (Power) on the front. The switch on the rear of the unit switches the M51 off completely. In this case, you cannot turn the unit on using the switch on the front or the remote control. In this condition, the M51 is not consuming any energy. Advice: The M51 operating system is loaded and then remains in Standby mode the first time the M51 is powered up. Power-Switch You can use the remote to activate your M51 in Standby mode. If you are using your M51 in Multiroom operation, the unit must always be left in Standby mode when not in full use. Otherwise it can't be activated from any of the neighbouring rooms in the system. Thanks to the highly developed switching technology used by Revox, the M51 only uses a minimum of 2 watts in this state. Warning Power continue to be applied to the unit when it is in Standby mode. 10 Introduction Re:system M51 II Operating elements The complete operation of the M51 is carried out using a very few operating elements on the front of the unit. The last two fold-out pages from this chapter give you an overview. The following section gives you a short description of what the individual elements do. Power Switches into and out of Standby mode. Disc Drives the disc drawer in and out. Setup For setting up the basic functions of the M51 and its modules. Source Calls up the option to select your audio sources. If you press the button twice, it takes you direct to the menu for the current source. Amplifier Calls up the Amplifier menu to make all the sound-related settings. Softkeys Keys which have different functions depending on which menu you are currently in. Rotary knob In normal operation, this is the volume control. When you are in the set-up menu, it is used as an input medium for certain functions, as indicated by the lighting of the Jog indicator. Jog Indicator Displays when the Rotary knob can be used for editing a particular menu setting. 11 Introduction Re:system M51 II Display menu There are many ways of customizing the M51's Display through Setup Menu/ Display. Press and hold the Setup key for approx. 2 seconds to call the Display menu. The following menu then appears: Brightness Using the Brightness softkeys, you can alter the brightness of the display in three steps. The lowest setting has the value 1; the highest is 3. The current Brightness setting is shown in the inner display field, shown here with a dark background. Press the Display softkey and you are taken directly to the Display menu. 12 Introduction Re:system M51 II Contrast Using the Contrast keys, you can alter the contrast of the display in nine steps. The lowest setting has the value 1; the highest is 9. The current Contrast setting is shown in the inner display field, shown here with a dark background. Acoustic signal Using the Beeper softkey, you can define the setting of the acoustic signal which confirms the inputs you make on your M51. There are three options: 1. Beeper Off No audible key confirmation 2. Beeper On With audible key confirmation The current setting is shown in the inner display field, shown here with a dark background: The Contrast is factory set to the mid-position 5. Depending on where the unit is installed, it may be necessary to change this contrast setting, in order to achieve a better visual result. 13 Introduction Re:system M51 II Auto dimmer Using the Auto dim softkey, you can set up an automatic dimming of the brightness, if no input is made for a longer period of time. You can toggle between Auto dim On and Auto dim Off by repeated pressing of the Auto dim softkey. The current setting is shown in the inner display field, shown here with a dark background: Style Using the Style softkey, you can select any one of the four different Style options. Each time you press the Style key, the display changes to show you the next alternative. The Style currently being shown is identified by the numbers 1 ­ 4. If Dimming is activated (On), the backlighting is switched off after a certain time and a green LED on the right of the display lights up. The background lighting can be switched back on by pressing a button on the M51. 14 Introduction Re:system M51 II IR-Receiver You can switch off the integrated remote control IR Receiver in the M51 by pressing the Remote softkey. You can toggle between Off and On by repeated pressing of the Remote softkey. The current setting is shown in the inner display field as highlighted here. A remote control symbol also appears in the lower display field when in deactivated state. Source menu If you are in Setup and you press the Source softkey, you can modify the basic settings of the M51 module and/or the source, which you have currently selected in the Source menu. Example: You want to modify the DVD Player basic settings. First you select the DVD source from the Source menu (Source button on the M51) and then press the Setup button for approx. 2 seconds. Using the Source softkey, you can now make the basic settings. The Source softkey offers the basic settings for the selectable sources. If, however, you want to modify the basic Sound or Multiroom System settings, you should select the Amplifier or the Multiroom softkey in the Setup menu, respectively. The basic setting options are described in the corresponding module manuals. If there is a requirement that the M51 should only be operated through an external IR receiver, e.g. M204 or just manually, the integrated IR Receiver in the M51 can be deactivated using the Remote softkey. 15 Introduction Re:system M51 II Remote function The modularity of the M51 means that its remote control unit is just as flexible. The Remote function gives you the option to modify the assignment of module source selection, to buttons on your remote control. This also guarantees that you can always address external devices with the available button configuration. The Remote function has no influence on the direct source selection on the M51. In this case, the source shown on the M51 display is still selected. You will find a table for your own personal Remote control settings on the last page of the Manual, Chapter ­ Introduction.. Calling Remote Press and hold the Setup key to call the Remote function. The following menu appears: Press the Remote softkey and you are taken directly to the Remote menu. 16 Introduction Re:system M51 II Button selection Using the Button softkeys, first select the source keys on your remote control which you want to assign to a particular M51 audio source. You can scroll forwards and backwards through the source keys using Button+ and Buttonrespectively. The TV-Hold button has a special function. This key will only activate the assigned source if it is pressed for a while. A short press has no effect. This can effectively avoid conflicts between the M51 and some other manufacturers' TV remote controls. When using the button TV-Hold the button TV must be disabled. Otherwise the button TV-Hold will be without effect. Source selection The Source softkeys are used to assign an audio source to the remote control keys selected above. You can scroll forwards and backwards through the audio sources which the M51 offers by using the keys using Source+ and Sourcerespectively. Each time the source is changed, the softkey Store appears on the display for confirmation of your intention to make a change. If you want to store the change, press the Store key, else the existing setting is maintained. Example In the graphic shown below, the audio source "TV/Video" is assigned to the source key "Tuner" an then confirmed with Store. Now, if Tuner is selected on the remote control, the M51 switches to the TV/Video source. 17 Introduction Re:system M51 II Button disable The direct M51 source selection is not affected by any changes to the Remote control function. Here, the Tuner will still be selected when the Tuner softkey is pressed. The Disable function allows you to block or disable the source keys on the remote control. Using the ­Button+ softkey, select the required source key and press the Disable softkey. The Store softkey appears on the display at the same time for you to confirm your action. If you don't press Store, the previous setting is maintained. With the text: Remote button "DVD" is disabled the above graphic shows that the DVD source key on the remote control has been disabled. The direct M51 source selection is not affected by any changes to the Remote control function. Here, the DVD will still be selected when the DVD softkey is pressed. 18 Introduction Re:system M51 II Reset remote menu If you want to reset the Remote menu to its factory settings, just press the Disable softkey until the Setup main menu appears again. Quit Remote You quit the Remote function by using the Source or Amplifier buttons on the front of the M51. Following this, all source assignments have been reset and set with the status disabled. Only the DVD, Tuner und TV source buttons get their original assignment again. 19 Introduction Re:system M51 II Software version The Version functions shows you the software version number for each module and which slot position it's plugged into. Press and hold the Setup key to call the Version function. The following menu appears: The first column with the # symbol shows the module slot number with the numbers #1 - #6. The Audio Control -Center (ACC = 5.1 Decoder) is defined with #9. All other # numbers define internal M51 components. The second column defines the corresponding module. The DVD module, for example, is shown as DVD-3. Press the Version softkey and you are taken directly to the Version menu. The last column defines the software version of the corresponding module. Empty slot positions are identified by the text Not used. Example #3 DVD-3 0.08 You can scroll through the various Version pages by repeated pressing of the Version softkey. This line defines that the DVD module with software version 0.08 is in slot 3. 20 Introduction Re:system M51 II Headphone operation You will find the headphone connection on the left at the front of the unit. It can be used with all normally available headphones with a 6.3 mm stereo jack plug and an impedance of 16 or more. As soon as you plug your headphones in, the external speakers are switched off and a headphone symbol appears in the bottom line of the display. (See below) At the same time, the M51 switches automatically to Pure Analog so that you always have the optimum sound quality when using your headphones. When you remove the headphone jack, the M51 reverts automatically to the sound setting which was being used before. Overheat protection The M51 's power outputs are fitted with an active temperature sensor which is constantly monitoring their temperature, and if necessary activates a 3speed fan. If the temperature should still exceed the maximum permitted level, the M51 switches the outputs down to 25% of their maximum power. This is shown by the overheat symbol being shown in the bottom line of the display. (See below) This power level will be maintained until the temperature comes back down under the permitted maximum value. After this, the volume can be increased again. 21 Introduction Re:system M51 II Technical data Analog Amplifier Technology Amplifier: Output power: Frequency response Damping coefficient: Harmonic distortion: Headphone output: 5 x 60 Watt at 4 Ohm / 1% distortion 20 Hz - 150 kHz / -3 dB > 100 at 8 Ohm 0.003 % at 20 Watt max. 1 V at 32 Ohm General M51 data: Power requirements: Primary fuse: Power consumption: 230 V / 50-60Hz 4 A slow-blow Max.
