equipment. – it is placed on a vibration free surface. – it will not be exposed to excessive heat, cold,

moisture or dust. – it will not be exposed to direct sunlight. – it will not be exposed to electrostatic discharges. In addition, never place heavy objects on the equipment. If a foreign object or water does enter the equipment,

contact your nearest dealer or service center. Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the mains lead;

grasp the plug. It is advisable when leaving the house, or during a

thunderstorm, to disconnect the equipment from the mains supply.

WARNING:WARNING:

WARNING:

WARNING:WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO

NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. Do not remove the cover from the equipment. There are

no user serviceable parts inside, and opening the case will invalidate your warranty.

Do not insert anything into the equipment through the ventilation holes.

Do not handle the mains lead with wet hands. To avoid overheating do not position the NP200 near

heat sources, and ensure that the ventilation holes are not blocked.

WARNINGS

Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture. Do not remove the cover from the equipment. Do not insert anything into the equipment through

the ventilation holes. Do not cover the ventilation holes with any items such

as tablecloths, newspapers, curtains, etc. Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted

candles, on the equipment. Do not handle the mains lead with wet hands. Allow adequate ventilation. Leave a gap of 0.2m on

all sides of the unit. Do not splash or spill water on the unit. Do not place

IMPORTANT: (FOR UK VERSION ONLY)

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,

A.S.T.A or BSI approved type. 3 Refit the fuse cover. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it

should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a

value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

MEMORY PRESERVATION

This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power backup system preserves the contents of the memory during power failures and even when the unit is unplugged. The unit must be plugged in in order to charge the backup system.

The memory preservation period after the unit has been unplugged varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On average memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been unplugged. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES

The serial number for this equipment is located on the rear panel. Please write this serial number on your enclosed warranty card and keep it in a secure area. This is for your security.

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the NP200 from Imerge. The NP200 is the ideal companion to your SoundServer, enabling you to access your entire music library from any room in your home over a standard Ethernet network.

Extend your music collection

You can connect up to six NP200 Network Audio Systems to your SoundServer, to provide access to your entire music collection from any room in your home. Its convenient four-line display provides similar information to the SoundServer display, allowing you to select albums and tracks, or search by artist or genre, using either the front panel or the remote control supplied with the NP200.

Minimum installation

The NP200 connects to the SoundServer via a single Ethernet connection, making it straightforward to extend your system, especially in houses where each room already has Ethernet wiring.

CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

FRONT VIEW

A complete hi-fi system in a box

The NP200 includes a stereo power amplifier and preamplifier, so all you need is a pair of loudspeakers to create a complete hi-fi system in each room. Alternatively it provides fixed and variable level analogue outputs, and an optical digital output, allowing it to be connected to an existing system such as an AV amplifier. The NP200 also includes an audio input, to allow you to connect a source such as an MD player.

Built-in Internet, AM, and FM radio

The NP200 includes a built-in Internet radio, using Imerge XiVA-Net to access lists of Internet radio stations classified according to genre, subgenre, location, and language. With the addition of suitable aerials the NP200 can also receive AM and FM stations, using RDS information where available to display radio data such as the FM station name.

Clock, timer, and alarm

Finally the NP200 includes a built-in clock, and convenient timer and alarm features allow you to use it as an alarm clock. A sleep feature can switch off your music automatically after a delay.

LISTENING TO RADIO

The NP200 lets you connect over the Ethernet to a wide range of Internet radio stations, that broadcast music and other programs in a variety of languages by streaming audio over the Internet.

The NP200 uses the XiVA-Net Internet radio catalogue from Imerge to let you search for radio stations by Genre, SubGenre, Location, or Language.

With suitable aerials, the NP200 can also receive FM and AM radio broadcasts. On FM the Radio Data System displays the station name and other information.

You can also set an alarm, that will play a selected SoundServer track or radio preset at a specified time. A snooze feature allows you to postpone the alarm by 5 minutes.

Finally, a sleep timer automatically puts the NP200 to standby after up to 90 minutes.

NETWORK SETTINGS

Before you can use the NP200 to play music contained in the music library on the SoundServer or listen to Internet radio, you must correctly configure the network settings so that it can connect to your network and the Internet.

It is strongly recommended that you use a broadband connection and a router. Before setting up the NP200, make sure that you are already using a router that provides Internet access and that the NP200 is correctly connected with your router or hub via Ethernet. For more information on Internet connectivity, consult your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or refer to the documentation with your router.

After changing any settings it will take about two seconds to write the setting to the NP200.

If you turn off the NP200 before a new setting has been written, the setting will be lost.
