The Music Player (Dlna) - Block CR-10ToGo! Bedienungsanleitung

The music player (DLNA)

Your new CR-10ToGo! is DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certified. This means that you can access the
appropriate music sources in your home network according to the DLNA standard.
•
If you have connected your CR-10ToGo! to your router as described on page 41/42 and it disposes of a USB
port, you can use its network attached storage (NAS) functionality.
•
To do this, simply connect a standard USB hard drive your router and activate the NAS functionality in its
configuration or connect a NAS drive to your network. Please refer to the router user manual if you have
any problem or if you need any further information.
•
On this hard drive or NAS drive, you can then upload your favourite pieces of music or folders. This is by far
the cheapest way to install a uniform DLNA media server for all your devices in the household.
•
Press the „Mode" button on the remote control or on the device and select the music player in the menu
using the arrow buttons or the multifunction knob. From the menu that appears, choose Shared Media to
see a list of all common media server suitable devices in your network. Select your installed media server
and then select the item „Music".
•
The contents of your hard drive will now be displayed pre-sorted according to various aspects, such as:
„Artists", „Albums", „All Titles", „Genres" or „Folders". The quality of these sorting depends directly on the
quality of the loaded data on the hard disk, if there are, for example, MP3 tags missing, the music pieces
will be also not well sorted
•
Within the respective lists, you can use the arrow keys on your remote control to navigate and also select
and play the desired track or folder with „Enter".
•
The music player (DLNA) has the same control functions as the Music player (USB).
•
The music player (DLNA) interprets MP3, WMA and FLAC files with a maximum stream size of 1.5 Mbps.
•
Many routers with NAS functionality can convert other file formats directly into a CR-10ToGo! readable
format as they stream. Please read the operating instruction of your router.
•
A reproduction of cover art is not supported in the music player (DLNA).

Music stream
The „streaming" of music in the home area is the transfer of music data from an external device such as a
computer, tablet PC or smartphone to a player such as your CR-10ToGo!. The prerequisite is that these devices
are in the same network (WLAN or LAN). Here we briefly introduce streaming solutions for the most popular
devices:
Apple ® PC (Mac OS X ® )
1. It is not possible to use the Airplay® feature of iTunes® with the CR-10ToGo!.
2. Nevertheless, you can stream with the Apple Macintosh®:
Please install a streaming server as for example, download the free software „Serviio®" * (www.http://serviio.
org/download) and start it. Using the function „Media / USB - Common Media" you will now find a Serviio®
server, through which you can access all the music on your Apple Macintosh. If you have any problems or need
further information, please read Serviio® Installation Guide.
Windows PC
