INSTALLER NOTES

If you are installing an Imerge S3000 SoundServer for the

rst time you may wish to take notice of the following items to assist with the conguration process:

Your SoundServer is congured by default for use

• with a PAL television. If you are using an NTSC television the SoundServer’s TV user interface may not display correctly. For information about

conguring this setting, see page 32.

The Imerge S3000 SoundServer is equipped

• with the ability to go online to search for, and download, available software updates. It is strongly recommended that you perform an online update once the unit is installed. For more information see page 30.

AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN

This product contains sensors that continually monitor its operating temperature. Should the temperature exceed the product’s maximum safe operating temperature then

an automatic shutdown will be initiated. Notication of

the shutdown will be displayed on the TV user interface with a countdown before it is commenced.

Automatic shutdown is necessary to help prevent component damage through overheating. To prevent automatic shutdown, ensure that the ambient temperature surrounding the product does not exceed 40°C. This can be achieved by ensuring the product’s three ventilation grills are not obstructed and, where the product is installed in an enclosure, there is plenty

of ventilation for air ow. The current operating

temperature can be viewed in the System Information menu in Settings.

•

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

thunderstorm, to disconnect the equipment from the mains supply.

WARNINGS

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 move whilst the product is running. Movement can result in irrecoverable data loss and damage to the hard disk. Allow at least 30 seconds after shutdown before moving to allow the hard disk to spin down.

Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the mains lead; grasp the plug.

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

Do not cover the three ventilation holes with any items such as tablecloths, newspapers, curtains, etc. To avoid overheating do not position the SoundServer near or above heat sources, and ensure that the ventilation holes are not blocked.

Do not place naked ame sources, such as lighted

candles, on the equipment. Do not handle the mains lead with wet hands. At least 2.5cm clearance is required on all sides to

allow air to circulate in and around the product. Do not splash or spill water on the unit. Do not place

objects lled with liquid (such as vases) on the unit.

CAUTION: This product contains a lithium battery. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by Imerge. Dispose of batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

CD HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch

• the front side. Always keep the disc surface clean.

To protect the disc avoid placing it in the following

• locations:

In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a

heater.

In a place which is damp or dirty.

In a place which could be exposed to rain, such

as near a window.

Do not use a disc with a special shape

• For best performance when recording from a CD

• try to maintain a temperature of 35°C or less in the room where the SoundServer is located.

DTS Encoded Discs

CAUTION - when playing DTS encoded CDs excessive noise will be heard on the analog outputs jacks of the SoundServer. To avoid possible damage to the audio system you should ensure that the correct connections are made to

your amplication system for replaying this type of disc.

MAINS PRECAUTIONS

Your SoundServer complies with the household power and safety requirements in your area.

IMPORTANT: (for UK version only)

This apparatus is tted with an approved moulded 13

amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

Remove fuse cover and fuse.

1. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A

2. or BSI approved type.

Ret the fuse cover.

If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug tted 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.

Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal

1. which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.

The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal

USER GUIDE

USING YOUR SOUNDSERVER IN A MULTIROOM SYSTEM

A single SoundServer is capable of playing different music in up to four different rooms simultaneously. This section explains how the SoundServer can be integrated into a multiroom environment and how users in different rooms can access music from the Audio Library.

Basic Conguration

When the SoundServer is not part of a larger multiroom control system you can access the Audio 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 conguring the

SoundServer remote control with a default output. More

information about conguring your remote is given in

the section titled Remote Control Use in a Multiroom System on page 11.

The diagram below shows the connections required in a

basic multiroom conguration:

Video Out connector on the rear of the SoundServer

•

is connected to the Video In connector of a Video distribution system. The four Video Out connectors on the Video distribution system are then connected to the Video In connectors on each of the four televisions. This allows the TV user interface to be viewed on all televisions around the home.

A separate Infrared receiver eye is placed in each of

• the four rooms which transmits received infrared information to an Infrared router. A connection is made between the infrared router and the IR Receiver port on the rear of the SoundServer, through which the received infrared commands are passed. See Remote Control Use in a Multiroom System on page 11 for more information.

Note: contact your dealer or installer for information about purchasing additional SoundServer remote controls.

Analogue Out 1, 2, 3 & 4 are each connected to the

•

stereo inputs of an amplier located in each of the

four rooms.

SoundServer Clustering

SoundServer clustering is the name given to a new feature exclusive to the Imerge SoundServer S3000 product range. With SoundServer clustering enabled, multiple SoundServers can be connected together and

congured to operate as a single unit. In other words,

up to four SoundServers can be clustered to provide up to 16 discrete audio outputs all available from up to four different television user interfaces and all with access to the same music collection.

For information about conguring your SoundServer(s) to use this feature, visit the Imerge website (www. imerge.co.uk) or contact your dealer or installer.

Note: Your SoundServer may not yet have been updated with this new feature. Contact your dealer or installer for more information.

USER GUIDE

USING YOUR SOUNDSERVER IN A WIRELESS MULTIROOM SYSTEM

Your SoundServer is compatible with a number of wireless multiroom control systems. This means that no matter where you are in the home, you can access your music collection at the touch of a button, with the same wireless device.

XiVA Tacta For Pocket PC

The diagram below illustrates a wireless multiroom system incorporating the XiVA Tacta application from Imerge. XiVA Tacta demonstration version can be

downloaded free from the Imerge website (www.imerge. co.uk) and installed on your wireless pocket PC.

Basic Conguration

Analogue Out 1, 2, 3 & 4 on the rear of the

•

SoundServer are each connected to the stereo

inputs of an amplier located in each of the four

rooms. The Ethernet port on rear of the SoundServer is

• connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the rear of the wireless router.

No physical connection is required between the

• Wireless Router and the Pocket PC.

Ethernet Conguration

Note: Depending on the make and model of the wireless

router your set up employs, congurations may differ.

S3000 SOUNDSERVER

Refer to the documentation that accompanies

• your wireless router for information about how to

establish communication with the SoundServer (you may need to briey connect a PC to the router to perform initial conguration).

Assuming your router is using DHCP, ensure the

•

SoundServer is congured for use with a DHCP server (see the Quick Start Guide on page 4). Alternatively enter manual ethernet settings (these will need to be in an IP range specied in your router’s accompanying documentation).

Consult the user guide that accompanies your

• Pocket PC for information about connecting it to the wireless network. Again, if using DHCP,

simply congure it to use a DHCP network address,

otherwise enter manual details. Next, install and run XiVA Tacta. Consult the user

• guide that comes bundled with the install software for operating instructions.

The illustration below shows a typical wireless XiVA Tacta home setup. Each room is assigned an Audio Output (for example, Audio Output 2 is routed to the kitchen and therefore any audio set to play on output 2 will

play in the kitchen). The SoundServer is controlled by a

wireless Pocket PC running XiVA Tacta. The Pocket PC can be moved from room to room and used anywhere in the house to select music from the Audio Library. Alternatively, a separate Pocket PC could be placed in each room.

USER GUIDE

USING YOUR SOUNDSERVER WITH A HOME COMPUTER

Your SoundServer has a number of advanced features which can be accessed via a computer connected to your home network.

THE REMOTE USER INTERFACE

Your SoundServer’s television user interface is accessible via a PC running on your home network. This gives you complete control of your SoundServer using a keyboard and mouse as opposed to a remote control. This can help make editing items in the Audio Library easier and quicker and also allows you to control your SoundServer from any computer running on your home network.

Accessing the Remote User Interface

Connect your SoundServer to your home network

• and power it on. If no DHCP address is available, your SoundServer will automatically assign itself an IP address and become accessible on the network.

Navigate to the Current Ethernet Settings screen in

• the front panel Set Up menu on the SoundServer and note the IP address. If you are using DHCP this address will be in the same range as the other computers on your network; if not, this address will be in the range 169.254.0.1 - 169.254.255.254.

Next, using a computer on the network, type the IP

• address or host name of your SoundServer into the

address bar of a web browser (e.g. http://192.168.0.1 or http://<hostname>). If you are not using DHCP you may need to recongure your computer’s

network settings before you can access the Remote User Interface.

If you experience any difculties with the above conguration, contact your network administrator.

Supported Software

Currently, the operating systems and web browsers supported are as follows:

On the Apple Macintosh:

Mac OS X 10.4.2

• Safari 2.0.1

•

On the PC:

Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2

•

Note: Other operating systems and web browsers, or earlier versions of the above, may not display the Remote User Interface correctly.

Navigating the Remote User Interface

You will notice that the Remote User Interface is identical to the television user interface, but for the addition of some buttons. These buttons have been added to allow you to perform actions normally executed with the SoundServer remote control, using a standard computer mouse.

When you rst connect to the Remote User Interface,

you will recognize the Main Menu screen:

The screens of the Remote User Interface are identical to those of the television user interface but for the following differences:

The U and V buttons now appear wherever there

• is a list that can scrolled. You can use your mouse to press these buttons when you would usually use the U and V buttons on the SoundServer remote control.

The functions of the main action keys on your

• SoundServer remote control, such as JMenu,

Options, àLibrary and •Now Playing have

been replaced by buttons on the screen. When required to edit or enter text, the Remote

• User Interface will display the text entry screen just as the television user interface does. However, instead of using the alphanumeric keypad on your SoundServer remote control, you can use your computer keyboard to enter text.

You will also notice that playback transport controls are available on the left hand side of the Now Playing screen:

You can initiate and control playback from the Remote User Interface using these controls.

Note: If you make any changes to the Connection Settings via the Remote User Interface, such as changing

the IP Address, you may need to reconnect using the new connection details.

Please read the following to learn more about our XiVA™ Software Service privacy policy and data-protection practices.

Imerge values the privacy of its registered users. We are strongly committed to protecting the privacy of users of our interactive products and services as well as to respecting the Data Protection Act 1998. Imerge will only collect and use personal information

about you as specied below in accordance with this Policy.

The XiVA™ Software Service Privacy Policy discloses our privacy practices and contains detailed information about exactly how your personal information will be treated:

Who are we?

• What information of yours do we collect?

• What do we do with the information we collect?

• Will Imerge share any of your personal information?

• How you can learn what personal information we have?

• What is the opt-out policy?

• What types of security procedures are in place to protect

• your information?

Will Imerge change its policy?

•

Who are we?

Imerge Limited (Imerge) welcomes you as a XiVA™ Software user. We developed your home media appliance (your SoundServer) and it is ‘powered’ by our XiVA™ Software.

Our company headquarters are located in Cambridge, United Kingdom and full details of how you can contact us can be found at the end of this document. The provision of goods, services and information to you may also involve our business partners and other carefully selected third party companies.

What information of yours do we collect?

When you register with Imerge, we need certain information – such as your name, address, postcode, and telephone number or email address - in order to provide service to you. Once you register with Imerge you are not anonymous to us. By submitting your information you agree to the use of that information as set out in this Policy. We may also use that information to let you know of additional products and services about which you might be interested.

In addition to the information you voluntarily provide by registering, Imerge will also collect technical information from your SoundServer on a regular basis, so that, in the event that you contact technical support, we will have information available

to help diagnose technical issues. The le upload will take

place no more frequently than once every seven days and will

include the transfer of a number of small les pertaining to your

system’s performance. At no point will we gather any personal information, and the information we do gather will identify you to Imerge only, through the unique serial number of your SoundServer. This information will be stored on our secure server and will at no stage be made available to any third parties.

Please note that sending and receiving this information will necessitate sending small amounts of data over your internet connection. If you prefer to opt out of using this service, you can do so by altering the relevant setting in the software user interface.

What do we do with the information we collect?

We may use personal information collected about you to let you know about new goods, services or offers that you might

nd interesting; or functionality changes and enhancements to

the Service, i.e. feature upgrades; or changes to our terms and conditions of use.

Will Imerge share any of your personal information?

Personal data will be collected, processed by Imerge and forwarded to the relevant Imerge Business Partner for the purpose of providing related services, as described earlier. However, Imerge will not trade, sell or rent your personal

information (such as name, address, phone number, or email address) to third parties world-wide for targeted services

or marketing purposes without your consent. And, we also protect your privacy by limiting employee access to the use of customer data. We may provide aggregate statistics about our sales, customers, music tastes, usage patterns and other site information to reputable third parties, but these statistics will not include any information that could personally identify you unless we have your consent.

Imerge reserves the right to access and disclose individually

identiable information to comply with applicable laws and

lawful government requests, to operate its systems properly, or to protect itself or its users.

How you can learn what personal information we have?

You may send us email at: support@xiva.com or write to us at

our headquarters address given at the end of this document. A nominal fee may apply to this request.

What is the opt-out policy?

You will be given an opportunity to select a level of privacy associated with your use of the Service during the registration process, to determine whether and under what conditions information entered during the registration process or collected subsequently may be shared with third parties. You can modify your selection at a later date by revisiting the relevant page, accessed via the menu screen – your changes will normally take effect within 60 days of your re-registration – alternatively you may send your request in writing to us at the address given at the end of this document.

What types of security procedures are in place to protect your information?

Imerge is committed to protecting the privacy of its customers and we have taken extensive measures to ensure that the

information we gather from you will be secure and condential.

While we recognize that the Internet is not a completely secure medium of communication, Imerge has taken steps to safeguard the security of any information we collect from your XiVA™ home media appliance by using Pretty Good Privacy

(PGP) technology which encrypts the information you input on

your system before it is transmitted to us. In addition, we have strict security procedures covering the storage and disclosure of your information in order to prevent unauthorized access and to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998. This means that sometimes we may ask you for proof of identity before disclosing any personal information to you.

Will Imerge change its policy?

When you supply your registration data you consent to the collection and use of your information by Imerge as described in this policy. If we alter our Privacy Policy in any way we will notify you and will post those changes on our website: www.xiva-net. com so you can be aware of anything that may affect you in the way we collect, use or share information with others. If you do not agree to the changes in the Policy, in such event you should contact us promptly, in the absence of which the changes will be deemed accepted by you. You will be responsible for viewing any alterations to our Privacy Policy - a written copy can be requested

from any of our Imerge ofces.
