company.
LOCATION - The appliance should be installed in a
stable location.
NONUSE PERIODS - The power cord of the appliance
should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused
for a long period of time.
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - If this
product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one prong wider
than the other), it will fit into the outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only work in a grounding

product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electric Code. ANSI/NFPA70
provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure A.
LIGHTNING - For added protection for this product
during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might
be fatal.
OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or integral convenience receptacles
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push
objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire
or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the product.
SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this product
yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing

in any way, such as if a power supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or that have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service
or repairs to this product, ask the service technician
to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING - The product
should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.

radiators, heaters, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important

Internet access for track listings
Your Audio Network Server records the CDs from your music
collection at faster than real time. It then automatically connects to
the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service via the built-in
modem or Ethernet connection. This database provides album and
track details for a wide range of CDs. This information can be
downloaded and stored with each CD you record, allowing you to
select any item in your music collection by album name, artist name,
track name, or genre, giving you total flexibility in the way you
access and control your music collection.
Create your own playlists

Server for each member of the family, or for matching the music to
the occasion or mood.
Instant access, irrespective of your music collection
Whether you select a track by title, album, artist, or genre, your
Audio Network Server locates it instantly and plays it at the press of
a key. All this is achieved with an extremely simple and intuitive
user interface, operated using a few keys on the front panel or remote

The Ethernet port can be used to connect a Net-tune device (such as
the NAC-2.3) for remote network playback of your music collection.
It may also be used to connect the Audio Network Server to a high
speed internet connection, and to connect supported software
applications to your device. A shielded Ethernet cable should be
used in conjunction with this connection.
VIDEO OUT VGA
The VGA connector may be used to connect a VGA monitor or a
suitable plasma screen for displaying the TV User interface.
VIDEO OUT VIDEO
Connect the Composite VIDEO output of the Audio Network Server
to the composite input of a TV to display the TV User Interface. You
may also need to switch the TV to the relevant AUX input to display
the picture.

Connect the S-VIDEO output of the Audio Network Server to the SVIDEO input of a TV to display the TV User Interface. You may also
need to switch the TV to the relevant AUX input to display the picture.
DIGITAL COAXIAL IN*
High quality recordings can be made onto the Hard Disk of the
Audio Network Server using a coaxial connection from a suitable
device (such as Minidisc or DAT).
DIGITAL COAXIAL OUT
By connecting this jack to a digital audio component (D/A
convertor, digital sound processor, etc.), digital signals from the
Audio Network Server can be transmitted directly from the system
without first being converted to analog. The audio output of the
DIGITAL OUT connector is the same as the audio output of the
ANALOG AUDIO OUT 1 connector.
Note:
This output cannot be used for making a digital copy of your media.
ANALOG IN*
Analog sources (such as cassette or vinyl LP) may be recorded onto
the Hard Disk of the Audio Network Server using this connection.
ANALOG OUT 1, 2, 3
Currently, only the ANALOG OUT 1 output is available. The
ANALOG OUT 2 and 3 outputs are reserved for optional future
upgrade.
AC INLET
Connect the supplied power cord to this connector to provide power
to the unit.
