CasaTunes CT-4S User manual

For any source input that CasaTunes supplies a music stream, pick CasaTunes Media Player
as the Source type and set the Player Settings to match the audio jack you are using. In this ex-
ample, on a CT-4S, if we connect the first CasaTunes stream to the first Source, click on Player
1 and set the settings as shown
here. For the CT-4S, all of the
streams use the Speakers
(Realtek High Definition Audio).
For the CT-8S, the first four
streams use Speakers (Asus
Xonar DSX Audio Device) and
the last four use the Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio). You can assign any CasaTunes
Media Player to any of the Sources.
For other source inputs, pick the Source type. If we don’t list the device, pick “Unknown”. Hide
sources that are not used.
