operation

The AVR360 is fitted with a network audio client which is capable of playing internet radio stations as well as stored music on a network storage device such as a PC, or from a USB flash drive.

For information on installing the AVR360 on your network, see page E-17.

The AVR360 supports the following file formats:

<MP3

<WMA (Windows Media Audio)

<WAV

<FLAC (Free Lossless Audio CODEC)

<MPEG-4 AAC (iTunes) with DRM10 support

Favourites

You can store internet radio stations in your ‘favourites’ folder for easy access later. Once playing, pressing

the FAV+ key adds the track to the ‘favourites’ folder. Pressing FAV- removes the station from the ‘favourites’ folder (this key only has an effect if the station is in the favourites folder).

NOTE

For playback from a network device, the network device needs to running a universal plug and play (uPnP) service, such as Windows Media Player 11. This can be downloaded free of charge from www.microsoft.com or installed via the Windows update installer. Windows 7 and Vista™ have this functionality built in. Windows Media Player requires music library sharing/streaming to be enabled in order to serve music to the AVR360.

Other free and paid-for uPnP services are available for other computer operating systems. Some network attached storage (NAS) systems include a built-in version of a uPnP service.

Selecting the playback source

Selecting the network client will allow playback of internet radio stations and stored music on a networked storage device or USB memory device.

To select the network source the CR102 remote must first be in AMP device mode (press A). Then press S

+eon the remote to select the Network source. You can also cycle to it using the –INPUT / INPUT+ keys on the front panel.

The ‘home’ page has options for playing audio from a USB device, Internet Radio or from your home network using the ‘Music Player’ option. Navigate through these items using the B, C, D and E keys. Folders that may contain playable files have a symbol, playable files have a symbol. Once you reach the track you wish to play, press OK key.

Once playing, pressing ; will pause the track (except Internet Radio).

Pressing the / key skips forward one track. If the last track is reached the key is ignored.

Pressing the 0 key skips back one track. If the first track is reached, the key is ignored.

Pressing the rkey on the remote plays the tracks in the current folder in a random order.

Pressing the Rkey on the remote repeats all the files in the current folder. Pressing it again cancels the repeat function.

USB playback

Insert a USB device into the socket on the AVR360 and select the network client input. The USB device appears in the list of folders that can be navigated. Highlight it using the Band C keys and press E to navigate the contents of the USB device. Navigate through folders (using the B, C, D and E keys) to a music file and press the OK key to play the file.

Internet radio stations

Although you can manually browse for an internet radio station, the AVR360 uses the vTuner service to allow easy selection of favourite internet radio stations and podcasts. To set up this service for your AVR360, please visit www.arcamradio.co.uk

There, you will be asked to enter the Media Access Controller (MAC) address which is the unique ID of your AVR360. This MAC address can be found in the network section of the setup menu.

Once you have entered the MAC address, you can then browse stations and podcasts and set up groups of favourite stations. When you next connect your AVR360 to the internet, these groups will appear in the ‘My favourites’ folder.

Pressing the INFO key will cycle what is shown on the lower portion of the front panel display between:

<Elapsed Time (default)

<Processing mode

<Album (if available)

<Artist (if available)

<File information (bitrate, type).

iPod

It is possible to connect an iPod to your AVR360 using either the Arcam drDock or irDock accessories (please contact your dealer).

Connect the 9-way plug into the socket marked ‘irDock’ and the audio leads to the VCR input (the iPod input can be changed in the General Setup menu). If your iPod has video output and you are using the irDock, connect the composite and S-Video leads to the VCR video inputs.

To select the iPod input,

press the ekey on the remote while in AMP Device Mode, or cycle to it using the – inPUT /
