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 Audio Server, using a computer on your home network. This feature allows you to transfer music files from your Audio 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.

Provided that your Audio Server is connected correctly it should now be accessible by browsing the network from your computer. Alternatively, open Windows Explorer and type the IP address of your Audio Server into the Address bar (e.g. \\<IP ADDRESS>). When you attempt to access your Audio Server on your home network, you will be asked to enter a username and password. These are as follows:

•Username - speakercraft

•Password - speakercraft

Note: The above username and password are case sensitive.

If you are using a Macintosh computer you can create a new network connection as follows:

•Select Go from the Finder menu and click Connect to Server.

•Click on the Browse button in the Connect to Server window.

•Navigate to your Audio Server on the network and double-click the appropriate icon.

•If your Audio Server does not appear in the browse window return to the Connect to Server window and enter: smb://<WORKGROUP><AUDIOSERVER_

NAME> (e.g. smb://MSHOME;AUDIOSERVER) into the Server Address box, then click the Connect button.

Note: Both the Workgroup and Audio Server Name should be in uppercase.

•In the SMB Mount window click the OK button.

•In the SMB/CIFS Filesystem Authentication window enter the username <username> and the password <password> and then click the OK button.

A window showing the contents of the Audio Server hard disk will be displayed.
