To play songs from a PC Play List…
1.
Play Lists are groups of songs created on the PC using a Jukebox program such as AudioStation. For
information on Playlists, see the section called “Managing your Music Library with AudioStation”.
2.
To select a playlist, press the knob to select List. Turn the knob to select the List name.
3.
Press PLAY. The number of songs for the selected List will be displayed and the entire list of songs will play
once in the List order.
To refresh AudioTron’s internal song and playlists database…
1.
Press the OPTIONS button to display “Check for new music?”
2.
Press the control knob to select “Yes”. AudioTron will search the network for music files and playlists not
already in its local database. If any new music files are found, the titles will be added to the database.
§
The Remote Control “Net” button can also be used to perform this function.
§
The “search for new music” function does not remove songs or playlists that have been deleted from the
PC hard drive. It also does not capture new tag information or playlist changes. Refreshing the
AudioTron database for these changes requires AudioTron to be powered off and on so that it re-scans
the network drives for music and rebuilds its internal song database.
To Search for new networked PCs…
When a new PC is added to the network, AudioTron must be powered on with the rear-panel power
switch in order to recognize it. To do this, turn the rear panel power switch off and on, wait a few
seconds and press the Standby button. This will cause AudioTron to re-scan the network for new
hosts and music files.
To set the Volume…
Turning the Control Knob while a song is playing (or if the volume buttons are used on the remote)
will momentarily display the volume setting. This setting will only affect the analog outputs on the
back panel and on the headphones—the S/PDIF digital output volume will not be affected.
The volume setting indicates the “attenuation” of the signal level. A setting of 0dB ("zero
decibels") indicates that there is no attenuation (i.e. "full volume") of the signal being sent out the
analog outputs. Turning the knob will attenuate the signal by -1dB steps. The volume setting is
saved in internal Flash RAM when the Standby button is turned off. When turned back on, the
volume will return to the saved setting.
Ü
The Volume Control should be left at the 0dB (maximum) setting unless AudioTron is used with headphones
or powered speakers that do not have a volume control.
For best fidelity, the volume control on your stereo system or powered speakers should be used to control
the playback level.
