4.Your iPod music will now be merged into your local Vision music library

Escient Early Detection Monitoring System (EDMS)

The VS Series Vision Media Server includes a feature called Escient Early De- tection Monitoring that monitors the condition of Vision’s internal hard drives. In the unlikely event of a problem with one of its drives, your Vision will notify Escient Tech Support and your Escient dealer, using its Internet connection.

The Vision VS series actually contains a pair of identical internal had drives that are configured in what is called a “RAID 1” configuration. RAID 1 means that data is written to both drives simultaneously so that you always have an up to date backup should you encounter a problem with one of them. If Vision encounters a problem with one of your drives you should not use it any further as you don’t want to risk having a problem with the other drive. If there is a problem with both drives, all of your data could be lost.

Always follow the on screen instructions if the EDMS detects a potential prob- lem with your Vision Media Server.
