introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your Audio Server from SpeakerCraft. The Audio Server is a revolutionary way of filling your home with music.

Your Audio Server 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 your television, showing full album, track, and artist names downloaded from the Gracenote Music Recognition Service as well as album cover art illustration from the XiVA on-line service. Your Audio Server also lets you organize your music collection and create selections for different occasions to suit your mood.

Incredible capacity

Your Audio Server is a hard disk based audio system which can store thousands of hours of music, all with the convenience of instant access, at the touch of a key.

Convenient TV screen

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

Internet access for track listings

Your Audio Server records the CDs from your music collection at high speed. It then automatically connects to the Gracenote Music Recognition Service via the built-in modem or Ethernet connection. 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 Audio Server allows you to compile personal playlists and then automatically play tracks from the playlist you have selected. Playlists let you customize your Audio Server 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 Audio Server 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.
