Content Updates
Hard Drive Update
For customers using a wide area network (Ethernet connection) for content updates, the updates are
delivered to players automatically as long the player is powered and plugged into the network during
scheduled update time periods.
For customers receiving CD-ROM content updates, load the PlayNetwork CD-ROM disc by pressing the
Disk Load/Eject button and place the disc in the tray (printed side face up), and press the button again.
The player will process the CD-ROM, loading content on to the hard drive and will eject the CD within 5
to 10 minutes depending on the amount of content found on the disc. Note: Expired CD-ROMs or non-
PlayNetwork discs are automatically ejected.
The C500 player will only work with authorized PlayNetwork CD-ROM load discs. PlayNetwork CD-ROM
discs are intended only for use with PlayNetwork's players and will not work with components
manufactured by other companies.
Each playlist is programmed to "expire" after a fixed amount of time.
CD Richmix / CD PlayDisc Update
Load a PlayNetwork CD-Rom disc by pressing the Disc Load / Eject button and place the disc in the tray
(printed side face up), and press the button again. The player will process the CD-Rom and begin to play
music within 30 seconds. Note: Expired CD-ROMs or non-PlayNetwork discs are automatically ejected.
Each Playlist is programmed to "expire" after a fixed amount of time.
Display
The C500 player comes equipped with a four-line, 20-character LCD display used to show status and
enable control of the playback.
The display has four main modes: Initialization, Now Playing, Menu and Standby.
Initialization Mode — Upon power up, the player will enter an Initialization mode for 45 to 90
seconds.
Now Playing Mode — Once the player begins playing content, the display will enter a "Now Playing"
mode showing Program Name, Title and Artist information for the currently playing song or message
on Zone 1, the default zone after power up. This is the default display mode for the player and with
the exception of two situations described below the display returns to this mode when no
interaction occurs for 60 seconds.
NOTE: If no Title and Artist information is shown on the Now Playing display, the zone's playlist is
either expired or invalid. If content modification is enabled for your location, use the View Playlist
menu item described below to select a new valid playlist. If no playlist is available, notify Customer
Service department as directed on the last page of this document.
Menu Mode — The display enters Menu mode in two ways. The Quick Menu contains a list of the
most commonly used features. Open by pressing the QMenu shortcut button on the Now Playing
display. The Main Menu contains a complete list of player menu options. Open by pressing any of
the navigation keys while on the main display or by selecting Main Menu in the Quick Menu.
