Allows you to carry out all operations on the MusicCAST server from the on-screen display.

❍MusicCAST client

Plays any of the songs stored in the MusicCAST server.

❍AV receiver, speakers

Connect speakers and an amplifier or AV receiver to the MusicCAST server if you wish to listen to music stored on its hard disk drive from the MusicCAST server directly.

❍Internet

When song, artist, album, or genre titles are not present in its built-in database the MusicCAST server can use an Internet connection to download relevant information. We recommend that you use a broadband router to connect to the Internet. Connecting to the Internet is not absolutely necessary, but enhances the experience of using the MusicCAST system.

❍PS/2 keyboard (OPTIONAL)

Allows you to easily enter and edit information such as album and song titles on the MusicCAST server.

❍MusicCAST client speakers

Connect speakers to the MusicCAST client if you wish to listen to music from it directly.
