IR RECEIVER
The IR receiver connection allows remote control
information to be carried from other devices directly into
the Digital Music Server. See the chapter called Using
your Digital Music Server in a multiroom system p.40.
CONTROLLER
The Controller port provides serial communication with
supported devices. For instance a multiroom control
system may communicate with the Digital Music Server
using the XiVA-Link protocol.
USB
Allows the Digital Music Server to communicate with
supported USB devices.
ETHERNET
The Ethernet port can be used to connect the Digital
Music Server to a high speed internet connection. It may
also be used by supported software applications to
communicate with the system. A shielded Ethernet cable
should be used in conjunction with this connection.
VGA
The VGA connector may be used to connect a VGA
monitor or a suitable Plasma screen for displaying the TV
User interface.
MODEM
The Modem port can be used to connect the Digital
Music Server to a standard analogue telephone line for
internet access (using the supplied cable).
VIDEO OUT
Connect the composite Video Out of the Digital Music
Server to the composite input of a suitable PAL/NTSC TV
(depending on the supplied configuration) to display the
TV User Interface. You may also need to switch the TV to
the relevant AUX input to display the picture.
S-VIDEO OUT
Connect the S-VIDEO output of the Digital Music Server
to the S-VIDEO input of a suitable PAL/NTSC TV
(depending on the supplied configuration) to display the
TV User Interface. You may also need to switch the TV to
the relevant AUX input to display the picture.
DIGITAL OPTICAL IN
High Quality recordings can be made onto the hard disk
of the Digital Music Server using an optical connection
from a suitable device (such as Minidisc or DAT).
REAR VIEW
DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT
The digital optical output can be used to transmit high
quality audio to a device with a digital optical input (D/A
convertor, A/V amplifier etc.) using an optical fibre cable.
The advantage of using the optical output is that it has
low signal loss due to cables and is completely isolated
from the ground loop. The audio output of the Digital
Optical Out connector is the same as the audio output of
the Analogue Audio Out 1 connector. This output may
not be used for making a digital copy of your media.
DIGITAL IN - COAXIAL
High Quality recordings can be made onto the hard disk
of the Digital Music Server using a coaxial connection
from a suitable device (such as Minidisc or DAT).
DIGITAL OUT - COAXIAL
By connecting this jack to a digital audio component (D/A
convertor, A/V amplifier etc.), digital signals from the
Digital Music Server can be transmitted directly from the
system without first being converted to analogue. The
audio output of the Digital Coaxial Out connector is the
same as the audio output of the Analogue Audio Out 1
connector. This output may not be used for making a
digital copy of your media.
ANALOGUE IN
Analogue sources (such as cassette or vinyl LP) may be
recorded onto the hard disk of the Digital Music Server
using this connection.
ANALOGUE OUT 1,2,3,4
The XMusic Digital Music Server is a multiroom device
allowing you to listen to different music in up to 4
different rooms all at the same time (depending on
the configuration purchased). Each analogue output
should be connected to the input jacks of a pre-
amplifier.
MAINS
Connect the supplied mains lead to this connector to
provide power to the unit.
