Powering UP
Plug in power cord and WDNET will start in CD mode (no need to use power
button on the first time). To use the remote, make sure “CD” key was pressed. This
setting is sticky unless other device is selected.
Press “L” on remote to switch between CD mode and server mode or D/S key
(3) from the front panel. Assuming the unit is left connected to mains, you can shut
down/power up the unit normally after first boot. Note: When pressing power
button for shut down, a lag of a few seconds is normal before unit display goes
off. This is to allow server to properly shut down all services. Do not press the
power button multiple times.
CD playback
You can use WDNET as regular cd transport. The unit accepts regular CD’s
(redbook) as well wav (up to 384k sample rate) files if burned on a DVD disc (in UDF
format).
Besides looking as a regular CD transport, NET is actually a true memory
player. This means you don’t hear the disc as it spins, but you hear the sound of a
solid-state memory. As a funny exercise, try to press eject (disc) button while in play.
The disc will be ejected but the music will continue to play for tens of seconds.
Basic Operation:
1. Press DISC (5) to open drawer in order to insert a cd
2. Press DISC again or push gently the drawer.
3. Press PLAY (4) for music.
4. If unit is in play mode, pressing PLAY again will skip to next track.
5. If unit is in play mode, pressing DISC key will stop playback.
6. If playback is already stopped, pressing DISC will eject the media.
7. Use remote for regular playback functions like direct access, skip,
repeat etc.
Note : CD playack is completely separated from the server. Therefore
active outputs are I2S 1&2, AES/EBU, SPDIF and BNC. The USB ports are
not used in CD mode.
