MAESTRO M9
Playing Audio Files via Network Audio or USB
The network audio client on the Maestro M9 is capable of supporting the
following file formats:
- MP3
- WMA (Windows Media Audio)
- WAV
- FLAC (Free Lossless Audio CODEC)
- MPEG-4 AAC (iTunes with DRM10 support)
Network devices must also be running a universal plug and play (uPnP)
service such as Windows Media Player. This feature is standard with Win-
dows 7 or it can be downloaded free of charge from www.microsoft.com.
While each device may operate differently, here are some basic commands
to follow:
1) With the Maestro M9 in “Standby”, make all of the Ethernet network
and/or USB connections and then take the unit out of “Standby”.
2) Using the front panel source selection controls, select Network Audio
“NET” as a source. A “Home Page” page will appear on your display device
and show all available storage devices.
3) Navigate through these using the arrow keys on the front panel of your
Maestro M9 or using the remote control. Folders displaying a musical note
symbol (
e
) have playable files in them.
4) Select the file/track you wish to play and press OK on the remote.
Pressing the remote’s Pause button will pause the track. Pressing the stop
button will stop playback.
