Set up your Desktop Controller

How do I choose a Master?

If you have more than one Roomplayer, choose the one 

least likely to be switched off. If your Master is switched off, 

the other Roomplayers will not operate until it is switched 

back on or a new Master is nominated. You will need to 

re-index your music libraries if you select a new Master.

You must select a Master, even if you only have one 

Roomplayer.

 It is responsible for indexing all your music and 

takes control of any additional Roomplayers you own. Make 

sure one Roomplayer is ticked before clicking 

next

.

How long does a Roomplayer take to start up?

The red LED goes out when your Roomplayer has 

connected to your network. It takes approx. 1 minute.

The system will automatically detect any Roomplayers that 

are on your network and switched on. This may take several 

minutes. If no Roomplayers are detected a message will 

appear on your computer screen to tell you. This will also be 

displayed when connected Roomplayers are switched off.

Step 2

 Choose a Master

The Wizard will help you set up your Roomplayer/s, create 

users and find music libraries. It will appear during the 

installation of your Desktop Controller and will guide you 

through the process step by step. Don’t worry if you don’t get 

everything right first time, you can always change your 

settings from the 

System

 menu.

Step 1 

Configure your system using the wizard

 

Use the wizard to setup your system, discover 

music libraries and more.
