RDS (RADIO DATA SYSTEM)-FUNCTION OF THE TUNER (FM ONLY)

RDS is a system which provides information about FM stations that is broadcast together with the 

station‘s signal. The MC 100 can present this information (about the station, broadcast, etc.) in the 

display.
The RDS information can be retrieved by repeatedly pressing the DISPLAY button (remote control) in the 

following order:

•  RT (Radio Text): Shows station information and messages.
•  PTY (Program Type): Displays the type of programme.
•  Time / Date

If one of these functions is not supported despite reception of an RDS signal, „N/A“ will appear in the 

display.

DAB FUNCTIONS OF THE TUNERS (DAB ONLY)

The DAB transmission system provides further data and information that can be accessed via the 

DISPLAY button (remote control) in the following order:

•  DLS (Dynamic Label Segment): Shows station information and messages (e.g. title and artist of the 

current song, news messages, other information about the current programme or station)

•  Programme type (e.g. pop, news, classical)
•  DAB multiplex number and frequency of the current station

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL PROBLEMS

If you should encounter any technical problems, please contact your specialist dealer or  

Magnat Audio-Produkte GmbH, Tel.: 02234807-0. 

CONNECTING THE DEVICE TO A BLUETOOTH AUDIO SOURCE

Select Bluetooth input. If you have previously connected a Bluetooth device, the MC 100 will 

automatically attempt to re-establish a connection with this device. If this is the case, you may be 

required to manually reconfirm the connection on the source device.

If a connection has not already been made or the connection cannot be re-established, the MC 100 will 

automatically activate the ‚pairing mode‘. „BT“ will flash on the display.

Now activate the Bluetooth mode on your source device. The MC 100 will appear in the list of Bluetooth 

devices as „MC 100“.  If it is not displayed in the list, set your source device to search for Bluetooth 

devices manually and make sure that the MC 100 has been switched to the pairing mode.
Depending on the source device, you may be asked whether the password is to be accepted during 

the pairing procedure. You can confirm this by simply pressing „Accept“. If you are still asked for a 

password, use the default passwords „0000“ or „1234“. If you are asked if you want to establish 

a connection after pairing, please select „Yes“. When the device has been paired and connected 

successfully the „BT“ indicator will illuminate continuously.
The MC 100 supports the „Qualcomm® aptX™“ high quality audio transmission standard. If your 

source device also supports this standard, „Qualcomm® aptX™“ will be selected automatically as the 

transfer mode when establishing a Bluetooth connection.

PRESET MEMORY

The device is equipped with two independent PRESET memories for FM and DAB stations. Each memory 

can store up to 40 stations.

Storing stations:
Set the desired DAB or FM stations using the TUNING buttons on the unit or via the remote control.
•  Select the desired storage location by holding down the corresponding key on the numeric keypad.
•  In the case of two-digit storage location numbers (10 – 40), the +10 key first has to be pressed for a 

longer time and the desired digits then entered.

•  Successful storage is confirmed on the display with the appearance of STORED PRESET. In the first 

line, the storage location number is played permanently before the station frequency.

Select a station from the list of stations:
Select the desired storage location via the numerical keyboard (by pressing briefly).
