Destiny Networks Domain 3000, Getting Started

Add Component Menu
The first step is to add all of the AV components to the room.
Click the "Add Component" button on the menu above.
You will get the menu below.
1. Choose between the "Destiny Library" of AV components (which consists of Device Description Files supplied by Destiny
Networks) or the "User Library" (which contains Device Description Files created by you). The User Library contains all the files
create by you - whether they were created from scratch or as a result of modifying a file in the Destiny Library.
If you do not see the
component you are looking for, check that you have selected the correct library.
2. Choose the "Type" of AV component you plan to add to the project from the dropdown box. Note that the PVR "Type" includes
Cable Set Top Boxes and Satellite receivers that have an integral PVR function (e.g., a TiVo function). Also, AV Surround
Receivers include Stereo receivers. AV switches are of the "Switch" type.
3. Choose the "Manufacturer".
4. And the "Model"
5. Each model may have one or more files associated with it. Usually, the file name gives some indication to the completeness or
the AV component or tells you how the AV component is controlled. For example, the one below is controlled via RS-232, but
probably does not have IR codes.
6. The "Name" is the unique name for this component in the house. By default, it will begin with the name of the room and end with
the component's "Type". You can almost always leave the name as is. This name will appear in "Check My Destiny" and also in the
Advanced menu of the Entertainment Browser GUI menu.
7. The "Name to be Displayed" is the name that will appear on the button of the "Entertainment Browser GUI" (the nice looking
entertainment menu). This is the button used to select this component as a source (note that only sources will have names that are
displayed, but the text field is available for all devices to allow for "internal components" - as we will see below with the internal
AM/FM tuner of the AV surround receiver).
