tip

dial-up users

If you need your phone line while the digital entertainment center is connected to the Internet, the fastest way to break the connection and free the line is to quickly press and release the digital entertainment center’s Power button.

the internet connection

The digital entertainment center performs some functions on its own, and some functions require connection to the Internet. If you’re a dial-up user, you need to be aware of when these connections occur. A successful connection, of course, requires the appropriate dial-up line to be free.

If you’re a broadband user, the digital entertainment center’s Internet access should be transparent to you.

dial-up prompt

When the digital entertainment center is set up for dial-up use, the default procedure is to prompt the user each time a connection is required. When the prompt appears, select Yes to make the connection. To decline the connection, select No or ignore the prompt (it times out in 20 seconds).

If you want the connection to occur automatically (without prompting), change the Prompt before dialing setting under Advanced network settings to No.

See “prompt before dialing” on page 69 for details.

retrieving cd information

When you insert a music CD for the first time, the digital entertainment center makes a brief connection to the Internet to retrieve the album, artist, genre and track information. If for any reason the data isn’t automatically retrieved when you first insert the CD, you can make this connection manually by pressing OPTIONS, then choosing cd info.

For more information on this function, see “retrieving CD information” on page 31.

using the info button

In CD or Library mode, when you press the INFO button and then choose discography or related artists from the pop-up menu, the digital entertainment center connects to the Internet to access the requested information.
