Introduction and Overview

The Como Audio Duetto is a sophisticated wireless music system designed to deliver high-fidelity audio with extensive connectivity options. It features a multi-room music system with one-touch streaming, internet radio, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi capabilities.

Setup

1. Unpacking and Placement

Carefully remove the Duetto from its packaging. Place the unit on a stable, flat surface. For optimal sound performance, ensure the unit is not surrounded by objects and is at least 3.5 inches from a rear wall to allow for proper bass reflection.

2. Power Connection

Connect the provided power adapter to the '20V DC' input on the rear panel of the Duetto. Plug the other end into a suitable wall outlet (100-240V AC, 50-60Hz).

Extend the telescoping FM antenna located on the rear panel for optimal FM radio reception.

4. Initial Wi-Fi Setup

Upon first power-up, the Duetto will enter setup mode. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect to your Wi-Fi network. You will need to select your network from the list and enter your password using the unit's controls.
