020.
002. 003.
NOTE: TURNTABLE
MUST HAVE A
BUILT IN RIAA
PREAMPLIFIER,
OTHERWISE A
SEPARATE PRE-
AMPLIFIER WILL
BE NEEDED.

001. POWERSAVER STANDBY MODE: THE WOBURN WILL GO TO POWER
SAVING STANDBY MODE AFTER 20 MINUTES OF NOT RECEIVING A
SOUND SIGNAL. IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO USE THE POWERSAVER
STANDBY MODE, THE WOBURN WILL NOT WAKE UP AUTOMATICALLY
WHEN YOU BEGIN PLAYING MUSIC AND WILL NOT SHOW UP AS AN
AVAILABLE DEVICE IN YOUR BLUETOOTH LIST AFTER IT HAS GONE
INTO THIS LOW-POWER STATE. TO ACTIVATE WOBURN AND PLAY
MUSIC FROM ANY SOURCE AFTER THE UNIT HAS GONE TO STANDBY
MODE, PRESS THE WAKE BUTTON ONCE. THIS WILL BRING THE
WOBURN BACK TO LIFE AND READY TO PLAY AGAIN.
002. STANDARD STANDBY MODE: THE WOBURN WILL GO INTO STANDBY
MODE AFTER 20 MINUTES OF NOT RECEIVING A SOUND SIGNAL.
IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO USE THE STANDARD STANDBY MODE, THE
WOBURN WILL AUTOMATICALLY ‘WAKE UP’ WHEN THE LAST
SOURCE IS PLAYED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A SOURCE CONNECTED WITH
A CABLE BEGINS TO PLAY, THE SPEAKER WAKES UP AUTOMATICALLY
WHEN THAT SOURCE IS SELECTED. IF A BLUETOOTH DEVICE WAS
USED AS THE LAST SOURCE, SIMPLY TOUCHING THE LATEST
BLUETOOTH DEVICE TO HAVE BEEN USED WILL WAKE THE WOBURN
UP AUTOMATICALLY. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY ANOTHER BLUETOOTH
DEVICE INSTEAD OF THE LAST ONE USED, PRESS THE WAKE BUTTON
ONCE TO PLAY MUSIC AGAIN.
POWERSAVER & STANDARD STANDBY MODES
022.
ON THE BACK OF YOUR WOBURN, YOU WILL FIND A SWITCH THAT ALLOWS
YOU TO CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT STANDBY MODES: POWERSAVER
OR STANDARD.
EUROPEAN UNION REGULATION STATES THAT ELECTRONIC DEVICES
MAY ONLY HAVE 0.5W POWER CONSUMPTION IN STANDBY MODE (THE
EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE ON ENERGY RELATED PRODUCTS, OR ERP). THIS IS
WHY THE WOBURN’S FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING IS THE POWERSAVER
MODE, BECAUSE THE POWERSAVER MODE SAVES MORE ENERGY THAN
THE STANDARD MODE.
AS THE NAME IMPLIES, USING THIS SETTING SAVES POWER. WHEN YOU
STOP PLAYING MUSIC, THE WOBURN WILL GO INTO A LOW-POWER STATE
AFTER 20 MINUTES. POWERSAVER MODE CAN BE DISABLED IF YOU WANT
WOBURN TO START AUTOMATICALLY AND STAY VISIBLE ON YOUR LIST
OF BLUETOOTH DEVICES AFTER 20 MINUTES. TO DISABLE POWERSAVER,
SIMPLY CHANGE THE SWITCH TO STANDARD MODE.
