MEDIA TRANSFER
In addition to recording directly from the CD tray, it is also possible to
transfer music and cover art images to and from your DMS4 Digital
Music Server, using a computer on your home network. This feature
allows you to transfer music files from your DMS4 Digital Music
Server to a portable device (for example, an Apple® iPod®) to
allow you to listen to your music collection while you are away from
home.
