!
Since no two people are likely to have the same exact audio or video configuration, the steps involved in putting the TuneBase 200 system together are not specific to any one piece of audio or video equipment. Therefore, it may be necessary for you to customize one or more of the cables that are included with this equipment. Please see Appendix A for a cable pin-out configuration guide.
Depending upon the intricacy of the audio and video equipment and the access to each component, installation should take approximately 2-4 hours including Autobuild.
!
Listings of supported optional equipment such as CD Changers may be found on the Escient website.

external Control System.
" Stereo receiver, CD changers, speakers, and other associated audio equipment.
# Available Internet access through an Internet Service Provider (ISP): standard
telephone dial-up or broadband connection such as a cable modem or DSL.
In order to take full advantage of the groundbreaking entertainment services
provided through TuneBase 200, the preferred method of connection is Broadband

TuneBase 200 supports many dial-up Internet Service Providers (ISPs). AOL®,
CompuServe®, and some free ISPs do not use standard, consistent methods of
Internet connectivity and do not open their networks to outside users. Therefore,
these cannot be used with TuneBase 200 in a dial-up connection. A special offer
for EarthLink’s award-winning ISP service is available on one of the TuneBase 200
Quick Start setup screens.

What Is The Setup Process?
To optimize TuneBase 200 so that you can enjoy all of its capabilities, you will need to go through a “setup” procedure.
You will encounter two types of setup procedures within TuneBase 200.
! The first type of Setup is Quick Start, and occurs automatically the first time the
Power button is pressed. It is a required procedure which presents a series of screens and menus that enable TuneBase 200 to get Internet access.
" The second type of Setup is one you can initiate at any time by pressing the
Setup button on your remote or wireless keyboard . This particular setup allows you to customize user preferences, audio and video settings, changer management, communication port settings, security and parental controls, and more.
CHAPTER 3 - GETTING STARTED
!
The Quick Start process takes an average of 15 minutes to complete. However, the time it takes to process your music library through Autobuild (get CD cover art, titles, artist info) depends upon the number of CD changers and the number of CDs in your collection. For example, four-hundred (400) CDs could take a couple of hours to build the music library. (You do not have to be present during Autobuild. TuneBase can be left unattended.)

Upon successfully connecting with the OpenGlobe Server, the final Quick Start screen informs you that authentication has been accepted.
If authentication was NOT successful, TuneBase 200 will continue to perform the Quick Start procedure (each time you Power On) until authentication is successful.
!"
The final step is identifying all the CDs on external changers so that TuneBase 200 can manage the CD libraries. This identification process is called Autobuild. Please proceed to the next page for instructions.
CHAPTER 3 - GETTING STARTED
Please be patient during the authentication process.
Page 50
PAGE 49
TUNEBASE 200 INSTALLATION & USER’S GUIDE - M21201-01A1
We recommend that you do not interrupt the Autobuild process. Please allow enough time (see note below) for the process to complete.
!
The length of time it takes to complete the Autobuild process is dependent upon changer brand and model. In addition, please allow approximately 30-60 seconds per disc for the actual information processing. This means that a 200­disc changer could potentially take 200 minutes.
!
Escient Pipeline software, sold separately, allows you to add scanned or downloaded covers not recognized by TuneBase 200.
C
HAPTER 3 - GETTING STARTED
Run the Autobuild Process
TuneBase 200 manages CD libraries on external changers through an initial identification process Escient calls “Autobuild”. During this process, TuneBase 200 contacts the Gracenote CDDB database to gather data about the CDs in your collection. This information includes Artist, Songs/Titles, and Cover Art.
To initiate an Autobuild, load the changer(s) with discs and close the door. Or, if the discs are already loaded, open and close the changer(s) doors. TuneBase 200 will
immediately initiate a connection to the CDDB database on the Internet to get the data for your collection. Processing time will vary based on changer brand and models.
When complete, the guide screen will be updated with a CD group on the filter bar and all music available from the attached CD changer(s) will be identified by a CD icon to the left of the title/artist/track that it recognizes. (Some CDs may not be recognized, and in that instance, TuneBase 200 attaches a generic “style/genre of music” cover and generic text.)
Inserting and Removing Discs
After the initial Autobuild, what happens when you insert and remove discs from your changer? If TuneBase 200 detects that a changer door has been closed, the Quick Lookup screen is shown, and TuneBase 200 will begin to check each previously empty slot in the changer to see if any new discs were added. It also checks each previously occupied slot in the changer to see if any discs were removed. However, do not remove
and insert discs into the same slot in the same step.

!
To add a new changer, make sure the changer number is set to 1.
Attach the appropriate connections (see Chapter 2).
Power the changer On.
Insert discs. If discs are already inserted, simply open and close the changer door.
This will start the Autobuild process which is the downloading of information regarding your CD collection.
If it finds new CDs, TuneBase 200 will initiate a connection to the CDDB database on the Internet to get data for your new CD.
If you remove discs and put others back in the same slot, you will have to manually initiate a detailed lookup such as lookup range in the changer management section in SETUP. The GET MUSIC INFO screen will report the status of the lookup progress until it is complete, or you press STOP to cancel the operation.
Adding or Removing Changers
If a changer has been attached to TuneBase 200, removed, and then re-attached, TuneBase 200 will assume that the disc collection has not changed. If you have made disc changes to TuneBase 200, you should manually go to the changer
management
section in SETUP and check all discs to insure that all discs are
recognized.
When you remove a changer, the CD titles and playlists still appear in the guide. However, when you choose a title or a playlist, TuneBase 200 provides a message stating that a changer is not connected and that the music selection or playlist is not available and cannot be played.

If discs have been previously recognized, the titles will reappear in the guide and all tracks will be available in appropriate Playlists. If the system detects that discs have been removed from slots in the changer, the database record for the disc will remain on the hard disc. The disc title will no longer appear in the guide in any group where it previously existed. Tracks from CD titles are no longer visible in Playlists where they were previously available. The Playlists will continue to work, but will not play or show the missing tracks. The tracks will be visible for editing in the Edit Playlist Option. You may press the STOP button to cancel the process.
