IR IN

The IR IN connection allows remote control information to be carried from other devices directly into the Audio Server.

COMPUTER

The Computer port provides serial communication with supported devices.

USB

Allows the Audio Server to communicate with supported USB devices.

LAN

The LAN port is used to connect the Audio Server to a Crestron network. It can also be used to connect the Audio Server to a high speed Internet connection.

RGBHV

The RGBHV connector may be used to connect a VGA monitor or a suitable Plasma screen for displaying the TV user interface.

MODEM

The Modem port can be used to connect the Audio Server to a standard analog telephone line for Internet access.

VIDEO OUT

Connect the composite Video Out of the Audio Server to the composite input of a suitable PAL/NTSC TV (depending on the supplied configuration) to display the TV User Interface. You may also need to switch the TV to the relevant AUX input to display the picture.

S-VIDEO OUT

Connect the S-VIDEO output of the Audio Server to the S-VIDEO input of a suitable PAL/NTSC TV (depending on the supplied configuration) to display the TV User Interface. You may also need to switch the TV to the relevant AUX input to display the picture.

DIGITAL OPTICAL IN

High quality recordings can be made onto the hard disk of the Audio Server using an optical connection from a suitable device (such as Minidisc or DAT). (To be supported in future software releases).

DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT

The digital optical output can be used to transmit high quality audio to a device with a digital optical input (D/A converter, A/V amplifier etc.) using an optical fiber cable. The advantage of using the optical output is that it has low signal loss due to cables and is completely isolated from the ground loop. The audio output of the Digital Optical Out connector is the same as the audio output of the Analog Audio Out 1 connector. This output may not be used for making a digital copy of your media.

DIGITAL IN - COAXIAL

High quality recordings can be made onto the hard disk of the Audio Server using a coaxial connection from a suitable device (such as Minidisc or DAT). (To be supported in future software releases).

DIGITAL OUT - COAXIAL

By connecting this jack to a digital audio component (D/A converter, A/V amplifier etc.), digital signals from the Audio Server can be transmitted directly from the system without first being converted to analog. The audio output of the Digital Coaxial Out connector is the same as the audio output of the Analog Audio Out 1 connector. This output may not be used for making a digital copy of your media.

ANALOG IN

Analog sources (such as cassette or vinyl LP) may be recorded onto the hard disk of the Audio Server using this connection. (To be supported in future software releases).

ANALOG OUT A,B,C,D

The Audio Server is a multiroom device allowing you to listen to different music in up to four different rooms all at the same time (depending on the configuration purchased). Each analog output should be connected to the input jacks of a pre-amplifier.

MAINS

Connect the supplied mains lead to this connector to provide power to the unit.
