TITLE
Use the manual, check your system connections, and learn
about the basic operations of the MusicCAST server.
Store CDs and audio material from external components
connected to the MusicCAST server. Enter information on
material that you have stored, such as artist, album, genre,
or song titles. This information is useful when you wish to
use such criteria as artist, album, or genre name when
playing back songs on the MusicCAST server or clients,
and when making original CDs from the songs you store on
the MusicCAST.
Search for songs by criteria such as song or album name,
make lists of your favorite songs, or play back songs at
random.
Add or change information such as song, artist, or genre
names, and make and edit lists of your favorite songs.
Make original CDs from the songs stored on the
MusicCAST server. Additionally, you can duplicate CDs
you own onto CD-R or CD-RW discs.
Use the MusicCAST server to adjust volume, change
inputs and effect programs, and control other functions on
a RS-232C equipped YAMAHA AV receiver connected to
the MusicCAST server with an RS-232C cable.
Remotely control any MusicCAST clients connected to your
MusicCAST server. This function allows you to operate
multiple MusicCAST clients simultaneously, and check
what individual MusicCAST clients are playing.
Use the Timer to automatically start playback on the
MusicCAST server or clients, or place a component in
standby mode, at the time set in the Timer display on the
MusicCAST server. You can also set the MusicCAST
server to begin recording material at a designated time.
Configure the MusicCAST server so that MusicCAST
clients can connect to it over a wired or wireless network.
Additionally, you can configure the MusicCAST server to
work together with other components in an existing
network.
Set parameters such as keyboard type, on-screen display
color schemes, and date and time, to suit the conditions
you use your MusicCAST server in.
Check the remaining time available for song storage,
system firmware version, and other information pertaining
to your MusicCAST system.
Refer to this section when your MusicCAST server appears
