INTRODUCTION
With a variety of network configuration methods possible using a Local Area Network (LAN), the
MusicCAST system allows everyone in the family to store their music collection in one central location for
playback from other locations around your home. Once music data is stored, you can have fun creating
playlists, bookmark songs, and even register your favorite music for instant access at the press of a button.
The advanced MusicCAST system is comprised of a server and its connected clients, and the MCX-CA15
optional amplifier can be connected to provide power to speakers and external components.
y
• You can combine up to seven wired and wireless connections as long as you use no more than five wireless
connections.
• Compared with wireless networks, wired networks can carry data over greater distances and to more clients.
The server supports simultaneous playback for seven clients over a wired network.
• The actual number of CDs the server can store depends on the format in which you choose to store songs.
Typically, the server can store approximately 1,000 CDs on its 80 GB hard disk drive if you choose to store
the songs in MP3 format only, or approximately 100 CDs in PCM format.
• The server can supply different songs to multiple clients simultaneously for up to seven clients via a
combination of wired and wireless connections. Depending on a number of factors, such as the playback
format you are using and the strength of the network signal available, it may be advisable to reduce the
number of clients to which the server is distributing music simultaneously if you encounter problems with
playback.
• To ensure smooth playback, select a low MP3 bitrate when storing songs. See “Setting the data storage
format” in the MCX-1000 Owner’s Manual, page 121.

The server can store approximately 1,000 music CDs in MP3 format or 100 music CDs in PCM format on its
internal hard disk drive for playback from the server or its connected clients. The server automatically stores
song, artist and album names as well as genre information for each CD during the recording process, allowing
easy access to your music without the need to enter any data manually. Once stored, songs can be selected,
sorted and played in a variety of quick and simple ways. The server can supply different songs to multiple
clients simultaneously, as well as supply songs in linear PCM format to one client at a time.
Clients themselves do not store or record any music data. Instead, they connect to the server to retrieve stored
music. This allows you to install a server in your living room, and clients in your bedroom and children’s
rooms, and listen to music stored on the server from each of these locations. The client also allows you to
select, sort and play songs in a variety of the ways, just like the server.
The MCX-CA15 Distributed Audio Amplifier can work as a stand alone amplifier for integration with your
existing audio system or paired with your client to complete the MusicCAST system. As a companion to your
client, the MCX-CA15 functions as a power amplifier and DC power distributor. It provides power to all
connected speakers, and can display your client’s on-screen display (OSD) on a TV or monitor connected to
the client. The MCX-CA15 is fully controllable from your client.

When the remote control is shipped, a thin piece of
plastic film is placed between the battery and remote
control circuitry to prevent operation during
shipping. You must remove this film before using
the remote control for the first time.
If you find that the remote control needs to be used
closer to the front panel than usual, the battery is
weak. Replace the battery with a new one.
1 Slide the battery holder out of the
remote control by pushing a pointed
object (such as a ball-point pen) into the
hole in the holder.
2 Remove the used battery and insert the
new one in the holder so that the “+”
(positive) mark faces upward.
3 Slide the holder back into the remote
control.
The casing of the remote control is very stiff, and
may require significant pressure to remove the
battery holder.
■ Notes on the lithium battery
Please take care when using the lithium battery as it
may explode if mistreated.
• Please use a CR2025 lithium battery.
• Do not recharge the battery.
• Never abuse or disassemble the battery.
• When replacing the battery, make sure the
polarity is correct. If inserted incorrectly, it may
cause a fire or explosion.
• Avoid placing the lithium battery or the remote
control with the battery installed in places of
high temperature, such as in direct sunlight.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children. If
swallowed, seek medical help immediately.
• If the battery leaks, dispose of it immediately.
Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it
come into contact with clothing, etc. Skin
contact may result in burns. If this occurs, wash
the affected area with water promptly and seek
medical attention.
• When disposing of the battery, insulate it with
tape, etc. Never dispose of it in a fire. Further,
dispose of the battery according to local
regulations.

The remote control transmits a directional infrared
beam. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at
the remote control signal receiver on the front panel
during operation.
■ Handling the remote control
• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote
control.
• Do not drop the remote control.
• Do not leave or store the remote control in the
following types of conditions:
– high humidity, such as near a bath
– high temperature, such as near a heater or
stove
– extremely low temperatures
– dusty places
• If remote control operation of this unit causes
abnormal operation of any other component,
change the placement of that component.
• Make sure the remote control signal receiver is
not exposed to direct sunlight or strong light.
Such exposure may inhibit the remote control’s
functionality.
Moving the controller in the directions indicated on
the front panel of the client performs the same
action as pressing the equivalent cursor key on the
remote control. For example, pushing the client
controller upwards produces the same result as
pressing u on the remote control. Pushing the
controller directly into the front panel has the same
effect as pressing SELECT on the remote control.

Two kinds of files are available for playback from
your client: MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation).
MP3 files do not take up a large amount of space,
enabling you to store approximately 1,000 CDs on
the server.
PCM files provide better sound quality during
playback, they require large amounts of space. You
can store approximately 100 CDs in PCM format.
The client displays an “*” (asterisk) next to the
names of songs stored in this format. If the server is
set to distribute PCM files, you can play back PCM
files on one client at a time. For details, see the
MCX-1000 Owner’s Manual, page 125.
■ Playback groups
The client retrieves and plays back music files
stored on the server. You can play back songs
grouped by artist, album or genre, as well as play
back songs at random, from pre-chosen lists or in
playback groups. Playback groups are defined by
your playback selection. For example, selecting an
album from the “Albums” menu for playback sets
albums as the playback group. Further, you can
choose to play back groups repeatedly (page 20),
play back songs at random from within a playback
group (page 21), or play back all of the songs in the
currently selected group (page 22).
The steps below describe how to access a song
directly from the “Artists” library, but can also be
used to choose songs from the following libraries:
Artists To search for songs by artist.
Albums To search for songs by album.
Genres To search for songs by genre.
All Songs To display a list of all
