Automatically Getting Disc Information

Once your changers are connected to FireBall and loaded with CDs/DVDs, all you have to do is close the changer door and in a few seconds FireBall will begin looking up the disc information from each disc, in each changer.

Quick Lookup checks each previously empty slot in the changers to see if any new discs were added, and then checks each previously occupied slot in the changer to see if any discs were removed.

One by one, the Table of Contents is read from each CD/DVD and compared to the local music database, Escient’s MovieDB™ service, or Gracenote CDDB® using your Internet connection, as FireBall builds your Music/Movies Library. As each disc is accessed and looked up, the Quick Lookup screen is updated to display the disc’s information and cover art. When all of the discs are looked up, the Guide screen will be displayed.

You can manually run Quick Lookup at any time by following these steps:

1.Press the SETUP key on the remote to display the Setup menu.

2.Select the CHANGER MANAGEMENT menu.

3.Select the QUICK LOOKUP menu.

4.FireBall will perform a Quick Lookup for each new disc.

WARNING: Quick Lookup checks for newly added and removed CDs each time it runs. Do not remove CDs and replace new CDs into the same changer slots without running Quick Lookup in-between, or FireBall will not know that these slots have changed.

If you want to reuse the same slots, first remove your CDs, let Quick Lookup run, then add new CDs to the same slots.
