Introduction

a stereo system with a conventional wired setup that produces fantastic sound. Put those 45s back in the rotation by connecting our excellent two-channel Duetto music system to the analog turntable with a high-quality audio connection. You can hear your music the way the artist meant it thanks to Duetto’s left and right speakers, which produce genuine two-channel stereo, which is how the majority of music is recorded. Great hi-fi sound is guaranteed by the unique DSP, and Duetto’s menu-based tone settings let you modify the sound to your personal preferences. The quality Ortofon cartridge and stylus are included on the Como Audio belt-driven analog turntable, which also has a thick steel platter and a speed control button. It’s never been better for your records.

Use a premium audio cable to connect the Duetto to the Turntable. This connection should be made of high-grade oxygen-free copper and use dual twisted pair technology with foil shielding to produce balanced sound with less distortion. Utilize the free Como Control app to group additional Como Audio models and play your recordings throughout your entire house!

If your smartphone is in a case, the case might reduce the NFC signal. Once NFC is established, follow the instructions displayed on your smartphone to establish the Bluetooth connection.

Rotate the Menu knob and push in briefly to select, or use the Up/Down arrow and Play (which doubles as “Select”) keys on the included remote control.

If your WiFi network requires a password, select “skip WPS” when prompted and use the keypad to enter your password, then select “OK” on the right side. You may find the remote keys handier for entering your password than using the Menu knob.

MY MUSIC: UPNP

If you have music on other devices on your WiFi network you wish to stream to Duetto (most commonly using Windows Media Player (WMP), open Windows Media Player on your device and make it the default player. Under the “Stream” tab, select “Turn on media streaming”, and next to “CA Duetto”, tic “Allowed”. On your Duetto, Press and hold the menu knob and select System Settings, then select Music player, and Shared media. Be sure your device and Duetto are both connected to the same WiFi network. Duetto will scan your network and present a list of device names. Select the device you wish to play music from. Use the track and play/pause keys on the included remote control to control the audio tracks.

NOTE

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I continuously have to restart my Como Audio system?
Our models have restarted repeatedly as a result of the most recent Eero software update. Our models were operating normally before the firmware update. Regarding other mesh systems or networks, we have not heard of any such reports. As a temporary workaround, you can get your Como Audio system to work again by connecting it to the Guest Network.
Why am I receiving a British voice message that keeps repeating?
Due to significant dependability concerns with the prior aggregator, our UK software partner Frontier enabled a new Internet station aggregator in May

The business that brought the premium music streaming services to our Musica model is the one behind our new aggregator (Deezer, Napster, and Amazon Music).

I’m experiencing difficulty or am having trouble connecting to an Internet station. What should I do?
Before attempting anything more, we strongly advise you to restart your router and modem (if you have one), as this usually resolves the problem. The router itself should include a reboot/reset button, or you can simply disconnect it for a moment and reconnect it back in.
Do I need to be a subscriber to use your products?
No. To utilize most of the capabilities our devices have to offer, you will need Wi-Fi service. Membership is required to use Musica’s premium streaming services, but it is not necessary to use the other features.
Is it possible to save presets for many Spotify accounts?
No, you can only save 1 account.
What do you suggest in terms of a WiFi configuration?
Any 802.11 2.4/5G b/g/n router can use our products. The ideal broadband connection has a 1Mb download speed.
Consider utilizing Apple AirPlay?
Use AirPlay as usual by connecting an audio wire from an Apple AirPort Express audio output to a Como Audio system’s auxiliary input. Ensure that your iOS smartphone and Como Audio system(s) are both linked to the Express network.
Will your goods be compatible with apps like Pandora, YouTube, iHeart Radio, TuneIn, and others?
All of our music systems exclusively support Spotify as a music streaming app. Our Musica has further integration for Amazon Music, Deezer, and Napster premium music providers for the optimum streaming experience.
Support 24 bit/192 kHz in your products?
Yes. Auxiliary inputs on both.
Is a turntable compatible?
Yes, as long as you have an external preamplifier or your turntable has an inbuilt preamplifier.
