OPERATING THE MT2 OPERATING THE MT2
With everything connected and powered up, the MT2 is ready to play!
POWER ON/OFF
ON
Before turning the MT2 ON, turn ON the TV or other sources to be played through Max TV. Turning a source ON with its input
selected and the volume turned up on the MT2 can potentially damage the speakers or amplifier.
1. Press the Power button on the MT2 IR Remote to turn the unit ON. (Power switch on the MT2 rear panel must be in the ON
position.)
OFF
Turn the MT2 OFF before turning OFF the TV or other sources. Turning a source OFF with its input selected and the volume turned
up on the MT2 can potentially damage the speakers or amplifier.
1. Press the Power button on the MT2 IR Remote to turn the unit OFF.
VOLUME/MUTE
VOLUME
1. Press the VOL+ button on the MT2 IR Remote to increase volume. The front panel Status LED will rapid flash blue while in-
creasing volume. Flash will stop at max volume.
2. Press the VOL- button on the MT2 IR Remote to decrease volume. The front panel Status LED will rapid flash blue while de-
creasing volume. Flash will stop at min volume.
MUTE
1. Press the MUTE button on the MT2 IR Remote to cut amplifier output to the speakers. (There will be no sound coming from
the speakers.) The Status LED on the front panel will slowly flash. Press the MUTE button again to un-mute the speakers.
TONE CONTROLS
BASS
1. Press the BASS+ button on the MT2 IR Remote to increase bass (low frequencies). The front panel Status LED will flash once for
each step of additional bass. Flash will stop at max bass.
2. Press the BASS- button on the MT2 IR Remote to decrease bass (low frequencies). The front panel Status LED will flash once for
each step of reduced bass. Flash will stop at min bass.
TREBLE
1. Press the TREBLE+ button on the MT2 IR Remote to increase treble (high frequencies). The front panel Status LED will flash
once for each step of additional treble. Flash will stop at max treble.
2. Press the TREBLE- button on the MT2 IR Remote to decrease treble (high frequencies). The front panel Status LED will flash
once for each step of reduced treble. Flash will stop at min treble.
EQ RESET
1. Press the EQ RESET button on the MT2 IR Remote to cancel any changes to the Treble and Bass controls and return to a ‘flat’
setting. The front panel Status LED will flash once to indicate EQ Reset.
SIMULATED SURROUND
The MT2 utilizes advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to create simulated surround sound from a stereo speaker configura-
tion. The simulated surround effect will ‘spread’ the soundstage coming from the speakers so ambient sounds of TV and movie
soundtracks appear to come from all over the room and not just from the speakers. The MT2 simulated surround can also be used
for music listening, but some music might sound better with the DSP turned OFF...this is purely a matter of preference to the
listener.
1. Press the SURR button on the MT2 IR Remote to turn the simulated surround ON. Front panel Status LED will flash once.
2. Press the SURR button on the MT2 IR Remote to turn the simulated surround OFF. Front panel Status LED will flash once.
SELECT INPUT
The MT2 has three hardwired source inputs and a Bluetooth interface allowing TV, music and other sources to be played through
the MT2. For Bluetooth connection, see section: Pairing and Selecting a Bucktooth Source. To select one of the hardwired
inputs, press the COAX, OPT or AUX button on the MT2 IR Remote. When changing sources, the Status LED on the front panel will
flash once to indicate an input change.
1. Press COAX to select the Digital Coaxial Input.
2. Press OPT to select the Digital Optical Input.
3. Press AUX to select the L&R Line Level Audio Input.
PAIRING AND SELECTING A BLUETOOTH SOURCE
The MT2 will pair without the need to enter a code, if the device implements Bluetooth v2.1 or later.
Legacy pairing is the only method available for Bluetooth v2.0 and older. Each device must enter an PIN code: ‘0000’ to complete
pairing. To ensure that your device is compatible, look for the Bluetooth Music Icon on the device documentation or packaging, or
go to: www.gadgetguide.bluetooth.com to check compatibility.
Many portable music players, smartphones, tablets, and computers feature Bluetooth, a wireless connection used for exchang-
ing data over short distances. The MT2 is Bluetooth compatible. This wireless connection will allow any Bluetooth device to play
through the MT2, be it your smartphone or one that belongs to a visiting friend or family member. A Bluetooth device must be
‘paired’ with the MT2...but that is a simple process that only takes a few seconds...and then any music on the ‘paired’ device can be
played through the MT2!
NOTE: Only one Bluetooth device can be paired to the MT2 at a time.
PAIRING A BLUETOOTH DEVICE
1. Turn the MT2 and the Bluetooth device ON.
2. Press the
button on the MT2 IR Remote to select the Bluetooth Input. The front panel Status LED flash twice, delay then repeat.
2. Turn Bluetooth ON, on the device to be paired to the MT2. The Bluetooth controls are typically found in the device’s ‘Settings’
or ‘Connections’ menu. If the Bluetooth device has previously been paired with the MT2, and the MT2 has not been removed
from the list of discovered devices, the bluetooth device should automatically sync with the MT2. (Front panel Status LED solid
blue.)
3. For a Bluetooth device that has not been paired with the MT2, or has been removed from the list of discovered devices, press
the
button on the MT2 IR Remote. The MT2 will output a sync code that will be received by the Bluetooth device. The front
panel Status LED will flash rapidly until the Bluetooth device accepts the BT Code and pairs to the MT2.
4. ‘MaxTV ’ will appear as a device in the Bluetooth setup screen on the device being paired.
5. Select MaxTV. The device should sync to the MT2. The front panel Status LED will stop flashing and illuminate solid blue.
6. Navigate to music on the Bluetooth device, select, play, turn up the volume!
7. The Bluetooth device’s volume and mute controls can be used to control volume and mute the same way as when listening
through headphones. Doing so will change the output volume/mute on the Bluetooth device and is not controlling MT2
volume/mute.
SWITCHING BETWEEN BLUETOOTH AND WIRED DEVICES/BLUETOOTH DEVICE TURNED OFF
If switching between hardwired sources and a paired Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth device will remain ‘connected’ as long as
the device has not been turned OFF or moved out of Bluetooth range. (Bluetooth range will vary given the paired devices and
local environment.) If the Bluetooth device has been turned OFF, simply turn it ON, navigate to the device’s Bluetooth setup, select
MaxTV, and the device should sync to the MT2 in a few seconds. If the device has moved out of range, Bluetooth will disconnect,
and depending upon device, reconnect when brought back within range. If the Bluetooth device does not automatically recon-
nect, navigate to the device’s Bluetooth setup, select MaxTV, and the device should sync to the MT2 in a few seconds.
