IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The triangle with the lightning flash symbol displayed on the unit advises the user of dangerous uninsulated voltage inside the product’s enclosure.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside; it is recommended that only qualified personnel service this component.

ALERT: The triangle with the exclamation point symbol on the component suggests that the owner refer to important operating and maintenance instructions in the owner’s manual.

1. OWNER’S MANUAL: Before powering up the equipment, read all safety and operating instructions and follow them as instructed. Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.

2. ATTACHMENTS: Use only those attachments recommended by the unit manufacturer, as others may cause hazards.

3. ACCESSORIES: Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing injury to a person or damage to the unit. Mount the unit according to the manufacturer’s instructions with the suggested mounting accessory.

4. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING: Mount the unit to a wall or ceiling only in the manner recommended by the manufacturer.

5. WATER AND MOISTURE: Do not use the unit near water (for example, near a swimming pool, bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub) or in a damp environment (like a basement or outside in the rain).

6. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Do not push objects of any kind into the unit through openings as they could touch dangerous voltage points and short-out parts, possibly resulting in a fire or electric shock. Avoid spilling liquid of any kind on the unit. If water or any metal object (such as a paper clip, coin, or staple) accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately and contact Cary Audio Design for further instructions.

7. HEAT: Position the unit away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

8. VENTILATION: Slots and openings in the cabinet create ventilation to protect the component from overheating. These openings on the top and bottom panels must remain unobstructed. Allow at least six inches (16 cm.) of clearance above the unit and an opening behind the unit for airflow. Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, builtin bookcase, or rack without adequate ventilation.

9. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: As a safety feature, the unit may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug in which one blade is wider than the other.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Thank you for purchasing the latest design in a long line of outstanding digital source equipment from Cary Audio Design. The MS-1 is a new breed of audio component designed to use an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad as its remote control device. Enjoy the simplicity of fingertip commands along with the vivid color displays of album cover art.

To begin your musical experience, just insert a CD, and the MS-1 will copy the disc to the oneterabyte hard drive, which is capable of storing roughly 2,800 CDs in FLAC format; the disc ejects automatically when the transfer is complete. The MS-1 then searches Internet archives for the song list, artist information, and album art. Once the information is added to the music library, your music becomes searchable using your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad as a remote control device. An extremely efficient and fast internal operating system quickly locates and plays your music at the highest level of quality over a USB output.

Downloading the custom Cary Audio Design application available free from the iTunes App Store gives you complete wireless control of the MS-1. Simply launch the Cary Audio Design application, and you can begin exploring your entire music library with the swipe of a

finger. Never before has your music library been this easy to enjoy. SHOUTcast™ Radio is also included as part of the MS-1, enabling you to stream thousands of Internet radio stations.

The MS-1 offers many exciting new ways to enjoy your music collection. Using the Subsonic app/program you can access your server’s music from anywhere you have an Internet connection (Wi Fi or 3G/4G), with a computer, a tablet, or even your Smartphone. Subsonic also allows you to easily build playlists and edit the album art and metadata of your music collection. UPnP capability (Universal Plug and Play) allows you to stream music stored your computer or hard drives over the network to your MS-1. You can also stream multiple feeds out of the MS-1 to any of a number of other devices to listen to your music all around the house. Music is a big part of our lives, and the MS-1 lets you share it and enjoy around your home and around the world!

The MS-1 is the modern day equivalent of a high-end audio transport and is designed to be paired with a USB D/A converter. To achieve the best in high-end sound, we suggest that the MS-1 be paired with the Xciter Series USB D/A converter. This combination of Cary products provides you with a system whose ease of use and sound quality is difficult to match at any price.

Congratulations on your fine choice, the Cary Audio Design MS-1. We are confident the MS-1 will bring you many years of musical satisfaction, and we sincerely welcome you to the Cary family.

GETTING STARTED

CONNECTING TO YOUR HOME NETWORK

The MS-1 system will need both wireless and wired access to your home network. The wired access is required to establish the MS-1 music server connection while the wireless connection allows your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to interface with the MS-1 as

Simply plug the MS-1 into your router with a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable. From there, the MS-1 will obtain its IP address automatically from the router and connect to your home network.

If there is no wired Ethernet network in your home, use a power line network adapter such as those made by Linksys, Netgear, and Belkin. This adapter will send your data over home power lines at speeds similar to a wired Ethernet network. This adapter is usually sold as a two-part device; connect one part to your router and the other to your MS-1 server.

Except when accessing SHOUTcast™ Radio, the MS-1 plays music without an Internet connection; however, it requires an Internet connection to retrieve information about CDs while they are importing to the MS-1 library.

If you have turned off the DHCP server in your router, the MS-1 cannot obtain an IP this time, the MS-1 does not support the use of proxy servers.

CONNECTING TO YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM

The MS-1 will send audio to a DAC via USB. Simply connect a USB cable from the USB port on the rear of the MS-1 to your USB DAC.

The MS-1 is compatible with any USB DAC supporting the Universal Serial Bus Device Class Definition for Audio Devices v1.0. The MS-1 will not work with DACs requiring special drivers.

CONNECTING THE POWER

Plug in the MS-1 power adapter to the back of the unit, and then plug the other end into the wall. Press the power button on the rear of the chassis, and the front LED will illuminate as the server begins its start-up sequence. The server will be ready to use in less than a minute.

HARD DRIVE DISK SPACE

The MS-1 comes with a 1 TB hard drive and is partitioned into two separate spaces. One is for the operating system and the other for music storage. The music storage partition is approximately 842 GB while the operating system partition is approximately 30 GB. The remaining few GB are the actual partitions themselves. In today’s memory and storage based devices such as music servers, computers, Smartphone’s, etc., it is normal for the actual available storage space for content to be somewhat less then overall specified capacity.

CHECKING AVAILABLE AND USED STORAGE SPACE

The MS-1 lets you check the available free and used space of the hard drive via the Cary Audio Remote App for iPhone. Follow these steps to check the available space.

1. Open the Cary Audio Remote App.

2. Tap the “Settings” button in the upper left corner.

BACKUP AND FILE MANAGEMENT

Backup music from the MS-1 using either an external USB hard drive or the FTP server. Delete music from the MS-1 with either the FTP server or web interface.

USB HARD DRIVE SYNC

The MS-1 automatically syncs music with an external USB drive providing two functions: to import new music to the MS-1 and to backup music from the MS-1.

The MS-1 compares the files on a connected external drive to those on the MS-1 and copies any new and updated files onto the MS-1. Additionally, if the external drive has more than 300 GB in size, new and updated files from the MS-1 to the external USB drive.

Because the speeds of USB drives vary, it is recommend that the USB remain connected for an extended period of time to ensure that the backup process completes, ideally overnight. Before removing the USB drive, power down the MS-1.

For backups, we recommend that you purchase an NTFS-formatted drive free of any built-in backup software designed for a specific operating system. Drives with automatic backup software programs similar to Western Digital's WD SmartWare are not to be equal to or greater than the MS-1 internal storage capacity. Two recommended USB drives are the Iomega Prestige 1.0 TB USB 2.0 and the Western Digital WD Elements 1.0 TB USB 2.

5. Click on “Network” to expand the selection. Next, Click “MUSICSERVER” to expand it. Then, Select “Music” and click “OK”

6. Notice the Music Folder now says “\\MUSICSERVER\music”. You can give the library a custom name by typing it under the “Music library name” section. In this graphic, we called it “Cary Audio MS-1”, but you can name it anything you like. Click “Apply” and

“OK” to exit.

ENHANCED FEATURES

NOTE:

 The MS-1 does not inherently support playlists. Therefore, the “Playlists Folder”

can be left empty, or pointed towards another music library that has saved playlists within it.

7. Go back to the “Status” Tab. You may want to select the “Rescan” button each time you make a change to your library. Click “OK” to exit.

STREAMING TO MULTIPLE ZONES

You may set up multiple and different streaming devices in multiple rooms. Just connect the device(s) as listed above in each room or zone. Once connected, you can stream MS-1 content to each of the devices simultaneously and independently. That means someone can listen to Bach in one room while another listens to Beethoven in a different zone. The MS-1 has been tested to handle a minimum of four independent zones. However, this is somewhat network dependent. It is quite possible if you have a robust network that you could connect even more! Please keep in mind that when you stream content from the MS-1 to a device, it does NOT affect the MS-1’s USB output. This means that in addition to streaming to multiple locations and devices that you can still independently control the MS-1 with the Cary Remote App for iPhone, or the web interface, for playback over its USB output. The USB output is of the highest fidelity and it is recommended the MS-1 be placed next to a USB capable DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), such as our Xciter DAC which in turn is connected to a hi-fidelity system for the highest quality playback.

ENHANCED FEATURES

When streaming music from the MS-1 to a device, the data travels over the wired or wireless network. Although quite good, it can introduce jitter and other artifacts. This is why we recommend connecting the MS-1’s USB output directly to your main audio system for the best fidelity.

MEDIA RENDERING

Sending Music to the MS-1 from a Computer

Media rendering allows you to stream music files output. This is useful if you have an additional computer or music library that is different from the MS-1’s content. For example; playing music files through the MS-1 from a guest laptop.

Please Note:

 The guest computer or PC must be connected to the same network the MS-1 is

connected to. You must also be sure that media sharing is enabled on your computer for the appropriate devices. The example below shows Media Rendering with a compatible OS and media player such as Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12. Consult your OS and media player for Media Rendering comp must be file types supported by the MS-1 as specified elsewhere in this manual.

METHOD A

Using a Media Player to send and play music files located on a network computer to

the MS-1

Open up the media player and music library to where the files are located. Right click on the album or track, mouse-over “Play to” and click on “Cary MS-1 Media Renderer”. This will send that album or track to the MS-1 for playback through its USB output.

METHOD B

Sending and playing music files located on a network computer folder to the MS-1.

1. Open up the folder where the music files are located.

2. Right click on the album or track, mouse-over “Play to” and click on “Cary MS-1 Media

Renderer”. This will send that album or track to the MS-1 for playback over its USB output.

SMB NETWORK SHARING

Playing MS-1 music from a computer through its speakers.

SMB Sharing allows the MS-1 to be seen on the network. When seen as a shared folder the MS1’s music library can be accessed and played back with a compatible media player and over the computer speakers. Since the MS-1 rips music in FLAC format, the media player you choose must be able to play FLAC files or other compatible files types you may have FTP’d to the MS-1 hard drive.

ENHANCED FEATURES

METHOD A

Play music stored on the MS-1 music server on a networked computer within a

compatible media player.

Procedures will vary depending on the media player you choose.

1. Open the media player.

2. Select the “Cary Audio MS-1 Music Server” from the “Other Libraries” in the left pane.

3. Navigate to “Music” folder and select your preference of Artists, Album or Genre.

4. Double Click on the file to begin playback. This will playback the music file

from the MS-1 within the media player itself and send sound to the

computer's speakers.

ENHANCED FEATURES

METHOD B

Play MS-1 music files from its network location.

Procedures will vary depending on the OS you are using.

1. Click the “Start” button and select “Network”

2. Double click on “MUSICSERVER” from the network folder.

3. Double Click on the “music” Folder to view the music library.

ENHANCED FEATURES

4. Right Click on an artist folder or track and select and click the media player you wish to play the music in. You can also double click the folder to expand it to view the albums and track lists. Double clicking a track will automatically start playing that track on your compatible default media player. This will play back the music files on the

MS-1 within the media player and send sound to the computers speakers.

WEB CONTROL INTERFACE

Controlling the MS-1 USB output through a computer's web browser.

The web interface allows for controlling the MS-1 from a networked computer. This sends audio out over the MS-1’s USB output and NOT the computer’s speakers. If you wish to have audio playback through a computer's speakers, refer to the SMB Sharing section of this manual.

Control and play back files on the MS-1 from a computer.

1. Open your web browser and type the MS-1’s IP address followed by: 8080

A. For example:

http//193.178.1.4:8080

ENHANCED FEATURES

COVER ART SEARCH

If you replace existing cover art with a different image, the MS-1 restore disk must be used for the MS-1 to generate new thumbnails for use in the MS-1's remote application. For this reason, we recommend importing a number of CDs before you change cover art and run the restore disc.

ENHANCED FEATURES

NETWORK CONFIGURATION

Some configuration is required to access Subsonic outside of your local network (on the Internet). Log in using the admin account (default password: cary) and then choose Settings → Network.

If your router supports UPnP or NAT-PMP port forwarding, then you should enable the first option to automatically forward connections on port 4040 from your router to your MS-1. If this does not work then you must consult your router documentation to forward port 4040 to your MS-1's local area network IP. Portforward.com is also a good resource to use to learn how to forward a port on your particular router.

The second option is available once you register Subsonic. Use this to reserve a yourname.subsonic.org address that links you to Subsonic running on your MS-1. Once port 4040 is forwarded to the Internet and you reserve your http://yourname.subsonic.org address, you can use Subsonic anywhere you have Internet access using a web browser or any smart phone or tablet running iOS, Android, or Windows Phone 7 using the various applications available on their respective App Stores/Markets.

ENHANCED FEATURES

NETWORK CONFIGURATION (STATIC IP)

We recommend that you reserve an IP address on your router so that when you boot up the MS1 it always receives the same IP address from the DHCP server running on your router. Consult your router documentation for the details on how to do this. If your router does not have a list of the MAC addresses for the devices on your network you can determine your MS-1's MAC address by doing the following:

1. Run “cmd” to bring up a command prompt in Windows or in Mac OS X bring up a window (Applications → Utilities → Terminal)

 Ping your MS-1 using the IP address you use to access the MS-1 on your local

network. In our case we used http://192.168.0.195:4040 so our IP address is

192.168.0.195.

A) In Windows the ping command would be: ping -n 1 192.168.0.195

B) In Mac OS X the ping command would be: ping -c 1 192.168.0.195



Next run the command:

arp –a

The Physical Address (MAC Address) for the MS-1 will be listed next to the MS-1's IP address.

RESTORE AND UPDATE

RESTORE AND UPDATE DVD

The RESTORE & UPDATE DVD restores the MS-1 system software back to factory settings, or updates the MS-1 with the latest software while leaving the music collection intact. This feature will give the MS-1 a new, clean database. It will rescan the music collection and regenerate thumbnails from the folder.jpg files (if any) inside the album directories.

If you manually edit tags, download and change cover art, or rename folders, use the RESTORE or UPDATE DVD to import the changes into a new, clean database.

It is possible to experience file system corruption from a power outage or hard reset. Use the RESTORE or UPDATE DVD if you begin to experience problems with your MS-1. It will erase and reinstall the system files while repairing issues associated with corrupted system files.

Please note that it will take some time to rescan a music collection, particularly a large one, so allow ample time; overnight is best.

To use the RESTORE DVD, follow these steps:

• Power down the MS-1.

• Turn the MS-1 back on, then insert the RESTORE or UPDATE DVD immediately after you

hear the MS-1 optical drive go through the eject sequence. After the update process is completed (approximately ten minutes), the RESTORE or UPDATE DVD will eject.

• Once the DVD ejects, hold down the power button until the MS-1 turns off. Because the file system is not in use, it is acceptable to do a hard reset.

• Power up the MS-1 and it will rescan the music collection.

TROUBLESHOOTING

SHOUTCAST™ RADIO DOESN'T WORK

If you can connect to your MS-1 but SHOUTcast™ Radio does not work, check the INTERNET STATUS of MS-1 in the SETTINGS menu.

The server information data is created when the remote control device initially connects to the server. The optimal time to check the INTERNET STATUS is immediately after booting up the MS1; however, you can refresh the server information data by exiting the application and reconnecting to the MS-1.

If the INTERNET STATUS reads INTERNET STATUS reads If it reads

device will still function properly.

UNKNOWN ARTIST AND UNKNOWN ALBUM DISPLAY

When the MS-1 cannot retrieve the necessary metadata from the Internet to tag the album, UNKNOWN ARTIST and UNKNOWN ALBUM will display with a music file. There are two possible solutions:

•

Determine whether the MS-1 can successfully access the Internet; refer to the section above

for instructions. Establishing an Internet connection may solve the problem.

TROUBLESHOOTING

•

The MS-1 uses two services to retrieve metadata--MusicBrainz and FreeDB. If neither

service can identify an album, the music files will still transfer to the MS-1 but will be tagged as UNKNOWN ARTIST and UNKNOWN ALBUM. Using the FTP server or the USB HARD DRIVE SYNC, copy the album to your computer, manually tag the album using a tag editor, and copy it back to the MS-1.

MUSIC COPIED TO THE MS-1 IS NOT VISIBLE ON THE REMOTE

CONTROL DEVICE

The MS-1 refreshes its music library every five minutes. It searches for new music to add to the MS-1 library. Music must have metadata tags to be scanned to the library and be accessible via the Albums / Artists / Genres / Songs tabs. If files are not tagged, they will be accessed only through the SOURCES → FILE SYSTEM menu.

Since WAV files do not have tagging capabilities, they cannot be accessed through the Albums / Artists /Genres / Songs tabs. They can be accessed only through the SOURCES

→ FILE SYSTEM menu.

REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE LOST CONNECTION WITH THE MS-1 AND CANNOT

RECONNECT

Ensure that your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad is connected to the correct Wi-Fi access point. If it is not connected, correcting that issue may solve the problem. If it is properly connected, power down the MS-1 by pressing and releasing the power button and waiting for it to shut down. Then, turn the MS-1 back on and try to reconnect to the MS-1.

DUPLICATE SONGS

It is possible to encounter duplicate song files. When browsing the songs on an album, there may be two or more listings for a particular song. Importing a music file to the server when it was already there is the most common cause. Use the WEB interface to locate and delete the duplicates. Occasionally, an album may be placed not only in the correct Artist folder but also in the Various Artists folder. Deleting one copy of the songs will remedy the problem.

If the duplicates exist on a backup drive, remove them from that drive as well; otherwise, they will copy back to the MS-1 the next time it connects to the backup drive.

SERVICE AND CARE

CARE AND CLEANING

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Clean the cabinet housing and front panel of the MS-1 with a soft cloth and a glass cleaner. The frequency of cleaning will vary based on the cleanliness of the environment and the number of hours the MS-1 is operated.

FACTORY SERVICE

Careful consideration has been given to the design of the MS-1 to minimize maintenance issues. Any problems or requests for service should be referred to the Customer Service Department at

919.355.0010. Do not return the MS-1 to the factory without a return authorization number (RA). Refer to the next section for details about
