The Somogyi PAR 2200BT is a portable party speaker featuring Bluetooth connectivity, USB/SD MP3 playback, FM radio, and karaoke inputs. Before first use, ensure the built-in battery is fully charged. The device can operate on battery power or AC mains power, controlled by the 3-way switch on the back panel.
Device Description
The speaker includes two subwoofers and two tweeters, LED light effects, and multiple input options including Bluetooth, USB, SD card, and two 6.3mm microphone inputs. It also features RCA AUX inputs for external devices like mobile phones or CD players.
Power Supply and Charging
The device has a built-in battery. To charge, connect the supplied power cable to the POWER IN socket on the back and plug it into the mains. The red LED on the display indicates charging. Charging takes approximately 2 hours for a fully depleted battery, providing up to 14 hours of operation at medium volume. The 3-way switch on the back allows you to select: Battery Power (operating from battery), OFF/Recharge (switch off/charging), or AC (operating from mains).
Operation
- Bluetooth: Press the MODE/POWER button until 'BLUE' appears on the display. Pair with your device in the Bluetooth settings.
- MP3 Playback: Insert a USB or SD memory device (FAT32 format recommended). The device will automatically switch to MP3 mode. Use the playback buttons to control tracks.
- Karaoke: Connect a microphone to the MIC1 or MIC2 socket. Use the MENU button and the rotary knob to adjust microphone volume and echo settings.
- Recording: Insert a USB device and press the REC button to start recording from sources like BT, FM, or LINE IN. Press REC again to stop.
Maintenance and Safety
Keep the device away from water and moisture. Do not cover the speaker and ensure at least 20 cm of clearance for cooling. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaners. If the device malfunctions, turn it off and contact a specialist.
Troubleshooting
If the device does not turn on, check the power switch position and ensure the battery is charged. If there is no sound, verify volume levels on both the speaker and the source device, and check cable connections. If MP3 playback fails, ensure the memory device is formatted as FAT32 and files are compatible.
