6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Selecting Input Source
After powering on, the MX-02 display will show the current input source. To change the input:
- Rotate the multi-function knob to navigate through the available input options (USB, Coaxial, Optical, Line).
- Press the knob to select the desired input source.
6.2 Bluetooth Pairing
To transmit audio wirelessly, you need to pair the MX-02 with your Bluetooth receiving device (headphones, speakers, etc.):
- Ensure your Bluetooth receiving device is in pairing mode. Refer to your device's manual for instructions.
- On the MX-02, navigate to the Bluetooth pairing menu using the multi-function knob.
- Select "Search for Devices" or a similar option. The MX-02 will scan for nearby Bluetooth devices.
- Once your device appears on the MX-02 display, select it and confirm pairing.
- A successful connection will be indicated on the MX-02 display.
6.3 Managing Bluetooth Codecs
The MX-02 allows you to select preferred Bluetooth audio codecs to optimize for sound quality or low latency:

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Power cable not connected or faulty; power adapter not working. | Check USB-C power cable connection. Try a different USB power adapter or port. |
| No audio output | Incorrect input source selected; Bluetooth device not paired or connected; volume too low; faulty cables. | Verify the correct input source is selected on the MX-02. Ensure your Bluetooth receiving device is paired and connected. Check volume levels on both the MX-02 (if applicable) and the receiving device. Inspect audio cables for damage and ensure they are securely connected. |
| Bluetooth pairing fails | Receiving device not in pairing mode; too far from MX-02; interference. | Put your Bluetooth receiving device into pairing mode. Move the devices closer together. Ensure no other strong wireless signals are causing interference. Try restarting both devices. |
| Poor sound quality / dropouts | Weak Bluetooth signal; interference; incorrect codec selected. | Reduce distance between MX-02 and receiving device. Remove obstacles. Check for sources of interference (Wi-Fi routers, microwaves). Try a different Bluetooth codec if available. |
| USB audio not recognized | Incorrect USB cable; driver issue (for PC); source device not configured for USB audio output. | Ensure you are using a data-capable USB cable. For PC, check device manager for drivers (usually plug-and-play). Configure your source device (e.g., computer, console) to output audio via USB to the MX-02. |
