4 Getting started

1. Connect sources and speakers

1. Connect each source to its input: a computer or phone to the USB-marked port, a TV to optical, coaxial or HDMI ARC (ARC version), and analog sources such as a CD player to RCA IN.
2. Connect Optical OUT, Coaxial OUT or RCA OUT to your amplifier, powered speakers or other audio equipment. All three outputs are active at the same time.

2. Power on

1. Connect power to the lightning-bolt-marked port. The device can also run from the USB-marked port alone, but for extended use connect both.
2. Press and hold the rotary encoder for about 1 second to power on.

3. Pair your phone (Bluetooth input)

1. Go to Bluetooth → Pair, or double-press to enter pairing.
2. Select the device in your phone’s Bluetooth settings to pair.

4. Choose a codec (optional)

EV156 uses LDAC first by default. To set a preferred codec, go to Bluetooth → Codecs. The display shows the codec in use.

5. Adjust volume

Turn the rotary encoder on the Home page to adjust volume.

Factory reset

Go to System → Factory Reset.

See Features → Display and controls for all operations.
