Importing Your Media

Vision allows unprecedented ease of use for managing your movies, music, videos, and photos from any room of your home. Using Vision, you can watch or listen to:

A DVD or CD inserted into the front panel drive

Movies and videos that were imported into the Vision system

Music that was imported into the Vision system

Photo slideshows that were imported into the Vision system

Rhapsody Direct subscription music service (over 4 million songs!)

Music stored on Escient Fireball music servers

Music stored on your Apple iPod (using the Escient FP-1)

When you import media into Vision, it will automatically download all of the infor- mation about the movie (actors, genre, running time, description, cover art, etc…) or music (artist, album, track, cover art, etc…) using your Internet connection and build a library of information that allows you to easily browse, select, and play anything in your collection from any room of your home using the simple and intuitive on- screen user interface and wireless remote.

Note: “Display and Play” is the default mode for the VS and VC’s optical disc drive. You can set the drive to “Import and Eject” a disc using the DVD/CD Player preferences.

Configuring Vision Clients for Media Import to VX Servers

Since the Vision VX is a network attached storage device, you’ll want to tell your Vision clients to store media either locally or remotely on your VX Server. This is ac- complished on the VS and VC clients using the TV user interface.

To configure media storage from your Vision VS or VC client:

1.Choose Setup from the Main Menu.

2.Choose Network.

3.Choose Connect to Server…

4.Select each Vision Server that you want to store your media on. A check mark is placed next to each server that this client can read from and write to.

Note: You can select up to 4 Vision VS or VX servers at a time from any VS or VC client.

5.Press BACK to go back one level.

6.Choose Network Storage.

7.Media imported from this VS or VC client will be imported to the Vision storage servers on your network in the order that they are displayed on this screen.

When the first server is filled, new media will automatically go on the next available server with enough free space.

8.To rearrange the order that servers are automatically filled, use the < and > arrows on the remote to move the selected server up or down in the list.
