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 perfectly suited to 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.

Controlling Your Player

Your Player can be used by itself but works best when complemented with a Director or Conductor and the Controller – Wireless-N Touchscreen Remote.

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 Control Functions, page 9.

For details on the Controller functionality, refer to the following sections:

• Using the Controller, page 10

• Common Uses, page 12

• Using Your Player with the Controller, page 24

WARNING: Listening to music with headphones

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

For details on the Cisco Media Player software, refer to Using the Cisco Media Software, page 19.
