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 congure 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 Naviga­tors 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 Com­poser for details), slip a new disc into an empty slot of
the Disc MegaChanger. The disc changer automati­cally scans and identies it to the Control4 system.

After auto-scan, the Touch Screens and On-Screen Navi­gators are updated automatically, and will display devices
to provide Cover Art information for easy navigation of
movies and music.
