EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING

Your Marantz product complies with the household power and safety requirements in your area. IMPORTANT: (FOR UK VERSION ONLY) This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows: 1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A or BSI approved type. 3 Refit the fuse cover. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A. NOTE: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”) BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”) 1 The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK. 2 The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured RED. 3 The GREEN/YELLOW-GREEN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires. PRECAUTIONS The following precautions should be taken when operating the equipment. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS When installing the equipment ensure that: – the ventilation holes are not covered. – air is allowed to circulate freely around the equipment. – it is placed on a vibration free surface. – it will not be exposed to excessive heat, cold, moisture or dust. – it will not be exposed to direct sunlight. – it will not be exposed to electrostatic discharges. In addition, never place heavy objects on the equipment. If a foreign object or water does enter the equipment, contact your nearest dealer or service center. Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the mains lead; grasp the plug. It is advisable when leaving the house, or during a thunderstorm, to disconnect the equipment from the mains supply. COMPACT DISCS The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back. Unlike conventional turntables for playing analogue discs, the DH9500 Music Server reads the information recorded on the disc from underneath without contacting it using a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade like conventional analogue records. Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side. To protect the disc avoid placing it in the following locations: – In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater. – In a place which is damp or dirty. – In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window. Always keep the surface of the disc clean. Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the disc. When cleaning the disc surface always be sure to use a special compact disc cleaner. Do not use a conventional record cleaner for analogue records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface. Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases. Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side of the disc. When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label with paste protruded from the edge or when a disc has a trace of such a sticky object, do not attempt to play the disc. If such a disc is inserted into the Music Server it may cause extensive damage to the system. It may also be impossible to remove the disc. Do not use a disc with a special shape. Do not attempt to use a disc with a special shape such as a heart-shaped disc or octagonal disc. This may cause the system to malfunction. DTS encoded discs Caution - when playing DTS encoded CDs excessive noise will be heard on the analogue outputs jacks of the Music Server. To avoid possible damage to the audio system you should ensure that the correct connections are made to your amplification system for replaying this type of disc. CAUTION When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental regulations or environmental public instruction’s rules that apply in your country or area.

SYSTEM Your Music Server is capable of playing different music in several rooms simultaneously. This chapter explains how the Music Server can be integrated into a multiroom environment and how users in different rooms can access music from the library. BASIC CONFIGURATION When the Music Server is not part of a larger multiroom control system you can access the music library from remote rooms by displaying the TV user interface in the room where you are located. The TV display is able to automatically switch to controlling the output appropriate to your location by configuring the Music Server remote control with a default output. More information about configuring your remote is given in the section below. The diagram below shows the connections required in a basic multiroom configuration:

• Video Out is connected to an RF Video distribution system to allow the TV user interface to be viewed on all televisions around the home.

• Infrared remote control information is received at a separate receiver eye placed in each room - information from this device is then transmitted via the RF Video distribution system to the IR Receiver connection.

• Analogue Out 1, 2, 3 & 4 are each connected to the stereo input of an amplifier. Multiroom Remote Control Use - TV Interface Your Music Server remote control can be configured so that every button press indicates to the system which output is to be controlled. This means that whenever infrared is received by the Music Server the TV display will automatically switch to controlling the appropriate output. To configure the remote with a default output

• Press the HDD Audio and buttons simultaneously; hold them down for 1 second. The HDD Audio button will remain lit for 20 seconds; the configuration process must be completed during this time.

• Enter the 3 digit code corresponding to the output you would like to control (valid configurations are listed in Appendix A). For example, to set output 2 as your default output press: 0, 0, 2

• Press the HDD Audio button again. The HDD Audio button will blink twice to indicate that the configuration has been accepted. If the HDD Audio button does not blink twice begin the process again, taking care to enter the number correctly. If the Music Server is switched on during the configuration process the Enter Standby? prompt will appear once configuration is complete; pressing any navigation key on the remote should now cause the Music Server to switch to the correct output. In the example above the status icons will display the following: The number inside the circle indicates the default output of your remote. The bar to the right of this indicates how long the user has before the TV user interface is available for other users to access. The number next to the loudspeaker symbol indicates which output this remote is currently controlling.32 To change output using the remote control The -Output button on the Music Server remote control allows you to display information about the music you are currently listening to. It can also be used to select another output to control as follows:

• Press the - Output button on the Music Server remote control. The following screen is displayed: The output screen indicates what is playing on the currently selected output.

• Press the - Output button again to switch to the next output.

• Once the required output number is displayed, press the 2Hide key to hide the output display. In the previous example the status icons would now show: Any subsequent press on this remote will now control output 3. Press the Default o/p button at any stage to return to controlling your default output. This button will also automatically display the Library menu. Multiroom Remote Control Use - Direct Media Select The basic configuration shown above shows one room which does not have access to a television for displaying the TV user interface. In this instance the Music Server remote control may be used in Direct Media Select mode. This mode may be used to select music from the library and control playback (e.g. play, pause, stop etc.) using simple infrared commands with no effect on the TV user interface. To set your Music Server remote control in Direct Media Select mode follow the instructions in the previous To configure the remote with a default output section selecting a Direct Media Select output from the settings listed in Appendix A. To select music from the library using Direct Media Select mode An album, artist, genre or playlist may be selected for playback using a “sequence” number. The following examples show how to select music using this method: Example 1: selecting an album by the number assigned to it when it was recorded onto the unit: Album, 5 will play album number five. Example 2: selecting an artist by its location in an alphabetical list: Artist, 7, 7 will play all the tracks by artist number seventy-seven. Example 3: selecting a genre by its location in an alphabetical list: Genre, 2, 2 will select the 22nd genre (Rock) for playback. Example 4: selecting a playlist by the number assigned to it when it was created on the unit: Playlist, 8 will select playlist number eight. The simple commands used to select your music without reference to the TV User Interface may also be used by other “learning” remote controls such as the Philips Pronto, other compatible remote controls, and simple multiroom control systems. The presets area of your library is ideal for an application such as this, allowing you to select from your current favourites at the touch of a button. A complete reference guide to programming these controls is available from your local dealer or by referring to the website listed in the following Getting Help section. Setting the output controlled from the front panel You can set which output is controlled by the front panel controls as follows:

• Press the - Output button on the Music Server front panel. The following screen is displayed: The output screen indicates what is playing on the currently selected output.

• Press the - Output button again to switch to the next output.

• Once the required output number is displayed, press the 2Hide key to hide the output display. The next time a key is pressed on the front panel the user interface will automatically switch to controlling this output.

MULTIROOM CONTROL SYSTEMS

Your Music Server is also compatible with a number of leading multiroom control systems. The Controller port on the rear of the system uses a versatile protocol called XiVA- Link which allows access to most of the Music Server functions remotely. Please contact your nearest Marantz representative for the current list of supported multiroom control systems.ENGLISH

MULTIROOM SYSTEM Your Music Server may be installed with an Opus Multiroom System for a complete multiroom audio solution. Using the Opus wall panels and remote control you can access a simple menu interface that allows you to browse through the music library on your Music Server and listen to individual music selections. Each output on the Music Server is distinct and independently controlled, enabling more than one person to control audio playback without affecting the playback of others.

In order to connect your Music Server to an Opus MCU you will need a TXT500 interface unit. The illustration below shows the connections required: Note: ensure that all units are switched off before making any connections.

• Connect Analogue Outputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 on your Music Server to the AV1, AV2, CD, and DVD connnections respectively on the Opus MCU.

• Connect the AV1, AV2, CD, and DVD infrared emitter outputs to the Infrared In 1, 2, 3, and 4 inputs respectively on the Opus TXT500.

• Connect the All IR output from the Opus MCU to the IR receiver connection on the back of the DH9500.

• Connect the CD/DVD Opus text output on the Opus MCU to the Opus Text 2 connection on the TXT500, and the AV1/AV2 Opus text output to Opus Text 1.

• Use a null modem cable to connect the RS232 port on the TXT500 to the Controller port on your Music Server. Once the connections are complete switch on the Music Server, then the TXT500, then the Opus MCU.

• Macintosh computer running OS X 10.3 or higher or PC running Microsoft Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP. In order to access the music files on your Music Server from the computer you must first enable Server Access as follows:

• Display the Main Menu by pressing the 1 key on your Music Server remote control.

• Press the 9 or 8 key to highlight the Settings option and press the 5Select action key.

• Press the 9 or 8 key to highlight the System Settings option and press the 5Select action key.

• Press the 9 or 8 key to highlight the Server Access option and press the 5Select action key. The following screen will be displayed: Ensure that the Workgroup item indicates the name of your current network workgroup; for most simple home networks MSHOME (the default entry) should be correct. If this is not the case, highlight this option using the 9 or 8 keys then press the 3Edit action key to enter a new name. If required you may also change the name used to identify your Music Server on the network by editing the Server Name option.

• Press the 9 or 8 key to highlight the Server Access option and press the 3Edit action key.

• Use the 9 or 8 keys if necessary to highlight the Enabled option and press the 5Select action key. Provided that your Music Server is connected correctly it should now be accessible by browsing the network from your computer. If you are using a Macintosh computer you can create a new network connection as follows:

• Select Go from the Finder menu and click Connect to Server.

• Click on the Browse button in the Connect to Server window.

• Navigate to your Music Server on the network and double-click the appropriate icon.

• If your Music Server does not appear in the browse window return to the Connect to Server window and enter: smb://<WORKGROUP><MUSICSERVER_NAME> (e.g. smb://MSHOME;DH9500_000123) into the Server Address box, then click the Connect button. Note: both the Workgroup and Music Server Name should be in uppercase.

• In the SMB Mount window click the OK button.

• In the SMB/CIFS Filesystem Authentication window click the OK button. A window showing the contents of the Music Server hard disk will be displayed. You can now transfer music directly from your Music Server to a portable player. The following two sections describe how to transfer files using two popular media player applications, iTunes

Media Player. Transferring Music to your Portable Player using iTunes The iTunes Media Player application is specifically designed to simplify the process of synchronising your music collection with an iPod portable player. Support for other devices is limited; you should check that your portable player is compatible before using this application. iTunes version 4.6 or later is required. The Library source in iTunes shows all media files stored on the local hard disk as well as media which has been added from other network drives. You can add the music collection from your Music Server to the Library as follows:

• Select the Preferences option. This can be found under the Edit menu on the Windows edition of iTunes and under the iTunes menu on the Macintosh version.

• Select the Advanced tab.

• Ensure that the option labelled Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library is unchecked.

• Click the OK button to confirm any changes.

• From the File menu select the Import... option.

• Select XML Files in the Files of type options (Windows version only).37 ENGLISH

• Navigate to the hard disk of your Music Server on the network.

• Double-click on either the Macintosh_Index.xml or Windows_Index.xml file, depending on the type of computer you are using. Note: the import process may take some time depending on the number of albums and the speed of your computer. If you have recently added new music or updated the details of any of the albums on your Music Server you may wish to wait for a few minutes before opening this file to ensure that it is up to date. Once the iTunes Library source has been updated with the music from your Music Server you can you can update your iPod as follows:

• Connect your iPod in the normal way.

• Click the Browse button in the top right-hand corner of the iTunes window.

• Drag any item from the Genre, Artist, Album lists onto the iPod icon in the Source area. The transfer process will begin shortly afterwards. Updating the iTunes Library If you have removed music from your Music Server or edited the names of any items in the library you will need to update the iTunes Library to remove any broken links. To do this, you should first delete all the Music Server albums from the iTunes library as follows:

• Select the View Options item from the Edit menu.

• Check the Grouping option, then click the OK button to confirm your changes.

• In the iTunes Library click the new Grouping column heading. The tracks located on your Music Server hard disk will be grouped together using the label <- MUSICSERVER_NAME (e.g. <-DH9500_000123).

• Click on the first track in the list with this grouping label then, holding down the Shift key, click the last track.

• Press the Delete key to remove these tracks from the iTunes Library.

• Click Yes to confirm your choice. Repeat the import process described above to add back the Music Server information. Transferring Music to your Portable Player using Windows Media Player The XiVA Media Import plugin for Windows Media Player enables you to update the Media Library with the music collection on your Music Server. Contact your local dealer or visit the web site listed in the Getting Help chapter for more details. Windows Media Player version 9 is required. Once you have the XiVA Media Import plugin you can install it on your PC by double-clicking on the XiVA WMP Plugin Setup file and following the on-screen instructions. The albums on your Music Server can then be added as follows:

• From the Tools menu highlight the Plugins option and click XiVA Media Import.

• Navigate the My Network Places area to locate the hard disk of your Music Server.

• Double-click on the Windows_Index.xml option. Note: the import process may take some time depending on the number of albums and the speed of your computer. If you have recently added new music or updated the details of any of the albums on your Music Server you may wish to wait for a few minutes before opening this file to ensure that it is up to date. Once your Media Library has been updated with the music from your Music Server you can update your portable player as follows:

• Click the Copy to CD or Device option from the Media Player toolbar.

• Select the Album, Artist, Genre or Playlist you wish to copy from the Items to Copy list.

• Under Items on Device select your portable player.

• Click the Copy button. The transfer process will begin shortly afterwards.38 ENGLISH

OPUS INTERFACE TROUBLESHOOTING

• The Opus wall panel does not respond to key presses. You must switch on each of the units in your system in a specific order; first, the Music Server, then the Opus MCU. Switch off both units, and switch on again in the correct order.

• Your Music Server TV interface is not displaying information while you are browsing The music being selected in a room is reflected on the Opus wall panel displays only. When you choose , the TV display updates appropriately.

• Your Music Server TV interface steps through two menu selections at once This can happen if you have your Music Server located in the same room as an Opus wall panel because both the wall panel and the music server respond to infra-red instructions from the remote control. This results in the Music Server receiving two instructions each time a remote control instruction is issued. If you cannot locate your Music Server in a different room, contact your installer for assistance. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS In the winter you may notice that condensation forms on the window of a well heated room. Condensation may also occur inside the Music Server in the following situations:

• When the listening room is first heated.

• When the humidity in the room is high.

• When the unit is moved from a cold environment to a warm room. In these situations it is best to leave the Music Server standing for a period of 2 hours, whilst the condensation is dispersed. During periods of extended use you may notice that a small fan inside the unit starts to operate. This is part of normal operation to maintain a constant operating temperature inside the unit.

CLEANING OF EXTERIOR SURFACES

With proper care and cleaning, the exterior finish of your equipment will last indefinitely. Never use scouring pads, steel wool, scouring powders or harsh chemical agents (e.g. lye solution), alcohol, thinners, benzine, insecticide or other volatile substances, as these will mar the finish of the cabinet. Likewise, never use cloths containing chemical substances. If the equipment becomes dirty, wipe the external surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth. If the cabinet becomes heavily soiled:

• Dilute some washing-up liquid in water, in a ratio of one part detergent to six parts water

• Dip a soft, lint-free cloth in the solution and wring the cloth out until it is damp

• Wipe the equipment with the damp cloth

• Dry the equipment by wiping it with a dry cloth. GETTING HELP TROUBLESHOOTING If you think a malfunction has occurred, first check the points listed below. The problem is likely to have been caused by a simple operational error or a connection problem. If the problem cannot be corrected even after carrying out the following checks, consult your dealer or nearest Marantz sales office or service counter. The front panel display does not light

• Is the mains lead plugged in properly at the wall?

• Is there an obstruction between the transmitter and the remote sensor?

• Are the batteries in the remote control exhausted?

• Is there another strong light (from a window etc.) striking the Music Server’s remote sensor? A CD/CD-R disc cannot be played

• Is the disc placed in upside down?

• Is the disc damaged, dirty, scratched or warped?

• Is the disc a valid audio format CD? Some tracks of the CD cannot be recorded

• Is the disc damaged, dirty, scratched or warped?
