Scan Media
1. Use the Composer software (Pro, Media Edition, or
Home Edition) to scan Blu-ray, DVD, or CD media in
the Sony 400 Disc MegaChanger.
2. Scan. After you congure the unit in the Control4
system, you can scan to identify the Blu-ray discs,
DVDs or CDs that are in the Disc MegaChanger. Use
the Composer Media view, highlight Disc Changer,
and then click the Scan button. This automatically
updates the On-Screen and Touch Screen Naviga-
tors to provide Cover Art for viewing and navigation of
your Blu-ray, DVD, or CD content.
3. Auto-scan. When auto-scan is enabled in the driver
(refer to the driver’s “Documentation” tab in Com-
poser for details), slip a new disc into an empty slot of
the Disc MegaChanger. The disc changer automati-
cally scans and identies it to the Control4 system.
After auto-scan, the Touch Screens and On-Screen Navi-
gators are updated automatically, and will display devices
to provide Cover Art information for easy navigation of
movies and music.
