Fill Your Home With Music

Let your music play all around your home. Enjoy different songs in different rooms at the same time – or the same one everywhere in Party Mode. This is designed to let you stream, play and control your digital music via your home wireless network. The Wireless Home Audio family of devices is designed to work with your existing system to make it easy to customize complete home-filling music experiences. However you listen, you can configure a Wireless Home Audio setup to perfectly suit your space, tastes, and existing equipment. Set up in minutes – no drilling, no stringing wires.
Cisco, the world’s leader in networking technology, applied its years of knowledge and expertise to develop an amazing lossless digital audio delivery solution that preserves the full depth and richness of the recording, as originally intended by the artist. Through distributed decoding technology, each Wireless Home Audio player receives the unmodified audio source material without any trans-coding or compression. The audio is then reproduced by one or more players, synchronized to within microseconds in case of multiple players, without any of the compression and echo artifacts so often evident in other wireless audio systems. All of this means crystal clear music, exactly as recorded, anywhere in your home.

Conductor (DMC350)

The Conductor – Wireless-N Digital Music Center is designed to let you play and command your music wherever you want in your home. And, as part of the Linksys by Cisco Wireless Home Audio family, it can become part of your complete, customized full-home music experience.
The stylish Conductor is an all-in-one Wireless-N music center that is designed to receive and play digital music streams over your wireless network through its built­in speakers and amplifier. Light and easily portable, it is designed to go anywhere, so you can move it wherever you want your music to play: Place it in the kitchen while you prepare that special recipe. Move it to the dining room when your guests sit down to dinner. Or plug it in outside on the deck to enjoy the evening stars with your favorite music selections.
The Conductor accesses digital music libraries on your computer, on a networked hard drive, from the Linksys by Cisco Media Hub, or from the Internet because it’s wirelessly connected to your Wireless-N router.
Player/Wireless-N Music Extender
There are three ways to control the Conductor. Select a song or queue up a playlist simply by touching the icons displayed on its color LCD screen, control it with the handy IR (infrared) remote control that comes with it or with the optional Controller (DMRW1000). The Conductor features an integrated amplifier that drives its built-in speakers. It even has a built-in CD player, too.

Director (DMC250)

The Director – Wireless-N Music Player is designed to access the digital music libraries on your computer, on a networked hard drive, or from the Internet. The Director can be connected to the Linksys by Cisco Stereo Speakers or existing speakers in your home.
The Director also has an integrated amplifier so it’s even capable of efficiently delivering rich, full sound to the tower speakers you may have in your home theater system. The Director also comes with an infrared remote control, and like the Conductor, can also be controlled from another part of the house with the optional Controller. The Director is equally at home on a bookshelf in your den, master bedroom, or connected to your home theater system. You can even connect analog devices like turntables or cassette decks to it and share your LPs and tapes throughout your home.

Player (DMP100)

The Player – Wireless-N Music Extender is the easiest way to bring more of your digital or Internet music to more rooms in your home.
The Player is designed to connect to an existing stereo or surround sound system. It also comes with an infrared remote control and like the Conductor and Director, can also be controlled from another part of the house with the optional Controller. Connect it to your home theater receiver or to a stereo system in another part of the house. Now, everyone in your family will have access to the thousands of songs in your collection or millions of songs from the Internet.

Controller (DMRW1000)

Player/Wireless-N Music Extender
The Controller is the one device that will change the way you interact with and enjoy music. It’s truly a game changer. Unlike remote controls that must be in visible proximity to the components they control, the Controller wirelessly connects to your Wireless-N router, enabling you to control your Linksys by Cisco Wireless Home Audio devices from other rooms in your house. Just touch the Controller to change the music anywhere in the house.
Touch the volume button and all your music zones appear instantly, so you can adjust the volume on any or every device. Send different music to different rooms or the same songs to the entire house. The Controller makes it all possible. Looking for a song? Touch the Audiolounge icon and conduct a search by the artist’s name to see their catalog of work.

The Docking Station for iPod connects to the back of a Linksys by Cisco Conductor or Director. It includes connector adapters for different types of Apple iPods. Once connected you can share your favorite playlists over your entire Linksys by Cisco Wireless Home Audio system. You can even control the iPod with the optional Wireless-N Controller, advancing tracks or adjusting volume levels on each Wireless Home Audio player device throughout your house. If you think that sounds like a great idea for a party, you may be right!

on can cause hearing damage if the volume levels are excessive.

Controlling Your Player

Your Player can be used by itself, but works best when complemented with a Director (DMC250) or Conductor (DMC350) and the Controller – Wireless-N Touchscreen Remote (DMRW1000).
The Player doesn’t have a user interface screen so it is easiest to control playback using the Controller– Wireless-N Touchscreen Remote or using the Cisco Media Player software on your computer. The IR Remote that is included is fully functional but certain features, such as adding favorites, need to be configured with the Controller or Cisco Media Player software.
For details on the IR Remote functionality, please refer to IR Remote Buttons, page 13.
For details on the Controller functionality, refer to the following sections:
Controller Buttons, page 14.
Using the Controller with Your Player, page 26.
For details on the Cisco Media Player software, refer to
Playing Your Music with the Cisco Media Software, page 15.
