USING YOUR
SOUNDSERVER IN A
MULTIROOM SYSTEM
Your SoundServer is capable of playing different music
in several rooms simultaneously. This chapter explains
how the SoundServer can be integrated into a
multiroom environment and how users in different
rooms can access music from the library.
BASIC CONFIGURATION
When the SoundServer is not part of a larger multiroom
control system you can access the music library from
remote rooms by displaying the TV user interface in the
room where you are located. The TV display is able to
automatically switch to controlling the output
appropriate to your location by configuring the
SoundServer remote control with a default output.
More information about configuring your remote is
given in the section below.
The diagram below shows the connections required in a
basic multiroom configuration:
Composite Video Out is connected to an RF
Video distribution system to allow the TV user
interface to be viewed on all televisions around
the home.
Infrared remote control information is received
at a separate receiver eye placed in each room information from this device is then transmitted
via the RF Video distribution system to an
infrared emitter attached to the IR receiver on
the front of the SoundServer.
Analogue Out 1, 2, 3 & 4 are each connected to
the stereo input of an amplifier.
Multiroom Remote Control Use - TV Interface
Your SoundServer remote control can be configured so
that every button press indicates to the system which
output is to be controlled. This means that whenever
infrared is received by the SoundServer the TV display will
automatically switch to controlling the appropriate output.
To configure the remote with a default output
Press the HDD Audio and p buttons
simultaneously; hold them down for 1 second.
The HDD Audio button will remain lit for 20 seconds; the
configuration process must be completed during this time.
Enter the 3 digit code corresponding to the output
you would like to control (valid configurations are
listed in Appendix A). For example, to set output 2
as your default output press:
0, 0, 2
Press the HDD Audio button again.
The HDD Audio button will blink twice to indicate that
the configuration has been accepted. If the HDD Audio
button does not blink twice begin the process again,
taking care to enter the number correctly.
If the SoundServer is switched on during the
configuration process the Enter Standby? prompt will
appear once configuration is complete; pressing any
navigation key on the remote should now cause the
SoundServer to switch to the correct output. In the
example above the status icons will display the following:
The number inside the circle indicates the default output
of your remote. The bar to the right of this indicates
how long the user has before the TV user interface is
available for other users to access. The number next to
the loudspeaker symbol indicates which output this
remote is currently controlling.
38
To change output using the remote control
The - Output button on the SoundServer remote control
allows you to display information about the music you
are currently listening to. It can also be used to select
another output to control as follows:
Press the - Output button on the SoundServer
remote control.
The following screen is displayed:
The output screen indicates what is playing on the
currently selected output.
Press the - Output button again to switch to the
next output.
Once the required output number is displayed,
press the 2Hide key to hide the output display.
In the previous example the status icons would now
show:
Any subsequent press on this remote will now control
output 3.
Press the Default o/p button at any stage to return to
controlling your default output. This button will also
automatically display the Library menu.
Multiroom Remote Control Use - Direct Media
Select
The basic configuration shown above shows one room
which does not have access to a television for displaying
the TV user interface. In this instance the SoundServer
remote control may be used in Direct Media Select
mode.
This mode may be used to select music from the library
and control playback (e.g. play, pause, stop etc.) using
simple infrared commands with no effect on the TV user
interface. To set your SoundServer remote control in
Direct Media Select mode follow the instructions in the
previous To configure the remote with a default output
section selecting a Direct Media Select output from the
settings listed in Appendix A.
To select music from the library using Direct Media Select
mode
An album, artist, genre or playlist may be selected for
playback using a sequence number. The following
examples show how to select music using this method:
Example 1: selecting an album by the number assigned
to it when it was recorded onto the unit:
Album, 5, Play
will play album number five.
Example 2: selecting an artist by its location in an
alphabetical list:
Artist, 7, 7, Play
will play all the tracks by artist number seventy-seven.
Example 3: selecting a genre by its location in an
alphabetical list:
Genre, 2, 2, Play
will select the 22nd genre (Rock) for playback.
Example 4: selecting a playlist by the number assigned
to it when it was created on the unit:
Playlist, 8, Play
will select playlist number eight.
The simple commands used to select your music without
reference to the TV User Interface may also be used by
other learning remote controls such as the Philips
Pronto, other compatible remote controls, and simple
multiroom control systems. The presets area of your
library is ideal for an application such as this, allowing
you to select from your current favourites at the touch
of a button.
A complete reference guide to programming these
controls is available from your local dealer or by
referring to the website listed in the following Getting Help section.
Setting the output controlled from the front
panel
You can set which output is controlled by the front
panel controls as follows:
Display the Main Menu by pressing the Menu
action key on your SoundServer front panel.
Press the 9 or 8 keys if necessary to highlight
the Output option and press the 5Select action
key.
The following screen is displayed:
The output screen indicates what is playing on the
currently selected output.
Press the - action key to switch to the next
output.
Once the required output number is displayed,
press the 2Hide key to hide the output display.
The next time a key is pressed on the front panel the
user interface will automatically switch to controlling
this output.
MULTIROOM CONTROL SYSTEMS
Your SoundServer is also compatible with a number of
leading multiroom control systems. The Controller port
on the rear of the system uses a versatile protocol called
XiVA-Link which allows access to most of the
SoundServer functions remotely.
For information on the XiVA-Link protocol as well as the
latest information on supported systems please contact
your local dealer or refer to the website listed in the
following Getting help section.
