About the Quick Manual The MusicCAST system has a great many abilities, ranging from Music Server, to Music Player. You must carry out various settings to use each function. Consequently, this Quick Manual is divided into the following sections: 1. Storing CDs on the MusicCAST server, 2. Using the MusicCAST client to play back songs recorded on the MusicCAST server, 3. Creating a CD by selecting tracks from those stored on the MusicCAST server. Please refer to the main MusicCAST Server manual or MusicCAST Client manual for explanations on other functions. What is the MusicCAST system? Using the MusicCAST, you can store all of the CDs in your collection on the internal hard disk in the MusicCAST, and play them back however you want, rather like a juke box. The MusicCAST server can store more than 1000 (*1) music CDs on its internal hard disk drive. It also records the album name, artist name, and music genre at the time of storage, allowing easy creation of a list of the recorded music without requiring you to enter any data. Because this list contains the song, artist, genre, and album names, you can quickly and easily select the song you want to listen to for playback. You can also set the MusicCAST to play songs at random, repeat one particular song, or select from a number of other playback options. You can use MusicCAST clients to play music stored in the MusicCAST server, as shown in the illustration below. *1 This figure assumes that all songs are stored in Mp3 format only. The MusicCAST server can store approximately 100 CDs if all songs are stored in PCM format (assuming it is equipped with an 80GB hard disk drive). Speaker Speaker MusicCAST client MusicCAST server TV/Monitor What is the MusicCAST Client? The MusicCAST client connects to the MusicCAST server, acting as a player for the songs stored on the MusicCAST server. Since the MusicCAST client can connect to the MusicCAST server through a wireless connection, you can install it without having to install any connecting cables. You can, for example, install a MusicCAST server in your living room, and MusicCAST clients in your bedroom and childrens' rooms, then connect and listen to the music stored in the MusicCAST server from each location. The MusicCAST client allows you to search for songs in the same manner as the MusicCAST server, by selecting song, album, artist, or genre. Additionally, because the MusicCAST server is capable of connecting to up to 7 MusicCAST clients simultaneously, you can play different songs, on multiple MusicCAST clients at the same time. About the Quick Manual The Quick Manual is aimed at first time users of the MusicCAST system, and contains an easy to understand explanation of the general system functions. You can gain an basic understanding of how to use the MusicCAST system just by reading the Quick Manual alone. About the Quick Manual Operating the MusicCAST server Use the remote control and the television connected to your MusicCAST server to carry out the procedures described in this Quick Manual. If you connect your MusicCAST server to a television, you can easily search for CD titles, artist names, and other data on screen. You can also set all the other paramters used to operate the MusicCAST system from this On Screen Display. This Quick Manual assumes that you have connected your MusicCAST server to a TV/Monitor, and uses illustrations of the On Screen Display to explain operations where appropriate. Most of the explanations in this manual center on using the remote control to operate MusicCAST components, but you can also access most functions directly from the MusicCAST server and client units. Refer to the illustrations provided with each explanation for information on which keys or buttons are applicable, and use those controls indicated for each numbered step to carry out procedures. About the Quick Manual Check the terminology used in the MusicCAST system MusicCAST server data storage formats The MusicCAST server can store songs in both PCM and MP3 formats, and is set to store both by default. • PCM format • Songs stored in this format have CD quality sound, however because it requires a lot of data to do so, it takes a lot of space on the MusicCAST server hard disk drive. • MP3 format Songs stored in this format require little data. Because MP3 songs require less hard disk space (roughly 8 to 9 times less, depending on the quality of the data), you can store more songs in this format. Why does the MusicCAST server store songs in both formats? Because the MusicCAST server can only broadcast songs in PCM format to one MusicCAST client, and because MP3 songs in general take less space than PCM songs, the MusicCAST server and client mainly use the MP3 format. However, because the MusicCAST can only record songs to a CD-R in PCM format, it stores both PCM and MP3 data when you store a CD. After you record a song to a CDR, the MusicCAST server erases the PCM version of the song (see page XX in the main MusicCAST server manual), reducing the amount of space taken on the hard disk drive. Song formats are displayed to the right of the song title. Format CD TEXT Some CDs have text information such as their song titles, album names, and genre names encoded on them. This information is called CD TEXT. The MusicCAST server will read and display this text if it is set to do so, and if it cannot find information on the CD in its built-in database or by connecting to the CDDB site (see page XX), when you load a CD. However, since the MusicCAST server cannot read or display some kinds of CD TEXT, we recommend that you use the CDDB by default (see page XXX). Additionally, you must set certain parameters if you want your MusicCAST server to read CD TEXT. See page XXX in the MusicCAST server manual for more information. About the Quick Manual This section contains an explanation of the terminology used to explain operations and functions in the MusicCAST quick manual. Getting started Checking your system connections You must connect your MusicCAST system correctly to use all of its functions to the full.
