About SIREN™ XPress

Media Files

A media file refers to any audio and video file that SIREN will play from your com- puter. SIREN supports the following media file formats: .wav, .mp3, .wma, .pca, .aif,

.ogg, .avi, .wmv, .asf, .mpg, .mpeg, .mov, .qt.

Finding Media

After you install SIREN XPress, a configuration wizard will scan your local hard drives for any .mp3 and .wma files and add them to your SIREN XPress media library. If you are unable to play media or use the transport controls for SIREN XPress after the installation process, you can manually run the Configuration Wizard from SIREN’s normal mode by choosing Configuration Wizard from the Options menu.

You can also search your hard drive(s) for media to add to your media library any time by choosing Search Computer for Media from the Options menu.

Playing Media

SIREN will allow you to play .mp3, .wma,.wav , .pca, .aif, .ogg, .avi, .wmv, .asf, .mpg,

.mpeg, .mov, and .qt files, as well as audio CDs. You can start playing media immediately by clicking on the Play button in either compact or normal mode.

Playing media by type

With the compact mode expanded, click on the “Play Media from” button. From the menu that displays, you can select your media by library views, album, artist, genre, or playlist, or choose to play an audio CD.

GRAPHIC EFFECTS

SIREN XPress displays dazzling visual effects during audio playback. SIREN XPress defaults to the special Rhythmic Edge visual which represents the six distinctly different channels of sounds generated by the Rhythmic Edge. With this effect selected you will see up to six dots, one corresponding to each speaker channel pulsating to the sound coming from the corresponding channel. For example in 4 speaker mode you will see these four dots:

Top left dot - left front channel

Top right- dot - right front channel

Bottom left dot - left rear channel

Bottom right dot - right rear channel

In 2 speaker or earphone mode you will see two dots. You can also select other effects patterns by right-clicking on the visual display and choosing from the list of available graphic effects.”
