THE USER INTERFACES
The MediaServer is equipped with an advanced graphical user interface, which can be displayed on televisions throughout
your home and controlled using the supplied remote control. In addition to the television user interface, the MediaServer
can also display specially constructed user interfaces on touch panel displays and computer screens. The user interfaces are
used to control the recording, cataloguing and playback of your music and movies.
The Video Screens
As your MediaServer has two video outputs (labelled AV1 and AV2 on the rear of the unit) it can effectively display two
identical, yet independent, television user interfaces. AV1 is an independent user interface connected to the main television
in your home used for viewing movies, usually located in the lounge or cinema room. AV2 is a shared user interface
displayed on the other televisions throughout your home and can also be used for viewing movies. This means that if you
are controlling output 2, 3, 4 or 5 and select a movie for playback, all of the video screens connected to AV2 will display the
movie. Both AV1 and AV2 are also used to initiate and control the playback of music on ve independent audio outputs.

THE REMOTE USER INTERFACE
Your MediaServer can display a user interface on a
computer connected to your home network. This user
interface is known as the Remote User Interface. You
can display multiple Remote User Interfaces if you have
more then one computer connected to your home
network. Each interface may control a different output
and your computer will remember the last output you
used.
The Remote User Interface gives you complete control
of your MediaServer using a keyboard and mouse as
opposed to a remote control. This can help make editing
items in the libraries easier and quicker and also allows
you to control your MediaServer from any computer
running on your home network.
Accessing the Remote User Interface
Using a computer on the network, type the IP
address or host name of your MediaServer into the
address bar of a web browser (e.g. http://192.168.0.1
or http://<hostname>).
Navigating the Remote User Interface
You will notice that the Remote User Interface is
identical to the television user interface, but for the
addition of some buttons. These buttons have been
added to allow you to perform actions normally
executed with the MediaServer remote control, using a
standard computer mouse.
When you rst connect to the Remote User Interface,
you will recognize the Main Menu screen:
The screens of the Remote User Interface are identical
to those of the television user interface but for the
following differences:
The Uand Vbuttons now appear wherever there
is a list that can scrolled. You can use your mouse
to press these buttons when you would usually use
the Uand Vbuttons on the MediaServer remote
control.
The functions of the main action keys on your
MediaServer remote control, such as JMenu,
äOptions, àLibrary and •Now Playing have
been replaced by buttons on the bottom of the
screen.
When required to edit or enter text, the Remote
User Interface will display the text entry screen
just as the television user interface does. However,
instead of using the alphanumeric keypad on your
MediaServer remote control, you can use your
computer keyboard to enter text and numbers.
•
•
•
•
You will also notice that playback transport controls
are available on the left hand side of the Now Playing
screen:
You can initiate and control playback from the Remote
User Interface using these controls.
Note: If you make any changes to the Connection
Settings via the Remote User Interface, such as changing
the IP Address, you may need to reconnect using the
new connection details.

RECORDING
Your MediaServer can make new recordings onto the
hard disk by recording directly from CDs and DVDs
placed in the disc tray.
Your MediaServer can access the Internet, using a
broadband Internet connection (via the Ethernet port),
to automatically retrieve information about the disc. CD
information , including artist, album and track names, is
retrieved from the Gracenote Music Recognition Service;
CD cover illustrations are downloaded from the XiVA on-
line service. DVD information, including cover art and
chapter titles, is obtained from AMG.
Note: In some countries the copying of material
protected by copyright law may require permission of
the copyright owners. The MediaServer will record
unencrypted DVDs only.
AUDIO RECORDING QUALITY
Your MediaServer allows you to record music and choose
to store it in a number of different formats:
MPEG-layer 3 (MP3)
The MediaServer can record to MP3 at a number of
different bit rates. Higher bitrates give better quality
but take up more room on your MediaServer’s hard
disks. By default, the MediaServer records music to
192Kb VBR MP3.
WAV (lossless uncompressed)
The WAV format is uncompressed, which gives the
highest possibly quality, but takes up the most hard disk
space.
Windows Media Audio (WMA)
WMA is a compression format similar to MP3. Again, the
