INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the VIA!dj from ELAN Home Systems. The VIA!dj is a revolutionary way of filling your home with music.

Your VIA!dj stores and catalogs your music collection, allowing you to select any album or track at the press of a key. You can browse through your albums and tracks using convenient on-screen menus displayed on ELAN’s VIA! Touch Panels and

televisions anywhere in your home, showing full album, track, and artist names downloaded from the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service, as well as the albums cover art. Your VIA!dj also lets you organize your music collection and create selections for different occasions to suit your mood.

INCREDIBLE CAPACITY

Your VIA!dj is a hard disk based audio system which can store hundreds of hours of music, all with the convenience of instant access, at the touch of a key.

CONVENIENT, USER-FRIENDLY SCREENS

Play music, record CDs, or organize your library using convenient on-screen menus which show the full album, artist, track names and cover art, allowing you to select the one you want with a few simple selections.

INTERNET ACCESS FOR TRACK LISTINGS

Your VIA!dj records the CDs from your music collection at

faster than real time. It then automatically connects to the

Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service via the built-in modem or Ethernet connec- tion. This database

provides album and track details for a wide range of CDs. This information can be downloaded and stored with each CD you record, allowing you to select any

item in your music collection by album name, artist name, track name, or genre, giving you total flexibility in the way you access and control your music collection.

CREATE YOUR OWN PLAYLISTS

Your VIA!dj allows you to compile personal playlists and then automatically play tracks from the playlist you have selected. Playlists let you customize your VIA!dj for each member of the family, or for matching the music to the occasion or mood.

INSTANT ACCESS, IRRESPECTIVE OF YOUR MUSIC COLLECTION

Whether you select a track by title, album, artist, or genre, your VIA!dj locates it instantly and plays it at the press of a key.

All this is achieved with an extremely simple and intuitive user interface, operated using a few keys on the front panel or remote control.
