  • step1: In the App store, find the latest iOS or Android app: “Müzo Player” and download the app.
  • step2: Each TIC device has its own specific device code (e.g. WB3, AMP150, etc.) . Select the code, follow the instruction and setup the Wi-Fi connection with each device.

 

  1. Bluetooth input setup
  • You can by option use Bluetooth as an input. To set up a Bluetooth device, simply press the BT button on the remote to switch to Bluetooth mode. If no device has been connected, the BT LED indicator will flash and you can then select “the code” (Each device has specific code) from your device’s Bluetooth menu. Once connected, the LED indicator will become solid and stop flashing. You can also choose BT mode from your music or video application.

  1. Wired inputs
  • In addition to wireless Wi-Fi or Bluetooth inputs, TIC AMP series and WBR12 have 4 extra wired input options (HDMI, RCA, Optical, and USB) to easily broadcast non-wireless devices such as TV, radio, home-theater receiver, USB-drive, etc. You can use the remote control or the Müzo Player app to select one of these 4 wired input modes.

  1. Equalizer / tone control
  • With the EQ button on the remote control you can switch between the equalizer tone presets, like Rock/Pop/Classic/Flat/Jazz/etc. You can select your preferred mode while you listen. As there is no display available to check the selected mode please trust your ears.

  1. Important notes:
  • For more AirPlay 2 help, please visit: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202809#ios
  • You may choose another input (HDMI/AUX/optical/USB) in the “main” device and all the connected devices in the network group will play this selected input.
  • For iOS devices (with compatible iOS versions), we strongly recommend using AirPlay 2 directly instead of using the music/video app for the optimal multi-room experience.
  • You will only need to use the app to set up the TIC Wi-Fi devices initially. After devices are connected to your network, the app is no longer needed for standard control and streaming. But please keep the app to update firmware, rename devices, troubleshoot etc.
  • Please make sure to have a strong Wi-Fi network (minimum 80% strength). If not you may encounter issues with playing multi-room Airplay etc.
