INTRODUCTION
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The IM-NET Digital Music Integration Module is a digital music streaming device. It enables you to
play the digital music stored on your home network and access Internet radio. Because the IM-NET
can be easily updated, additional music services may become available in the future.
The IM-NET Integration Module plays music from one source at a time. For example, if Dad is
listening and Mom changes the system to play Internet radio, Dad will begin listening to Internet
radio too. Installing multiple IM-NET modules enables users to listen to different music sources at
the same time. Each IM-NET module plays digital music sources independently of the other IMNET modules.
