sWITCHING ON AND OFF
Ms5000 Mediaserver
Your MediaServer is designed to remain switched on
continuously. However, if you are not planning to use it
for an extended period, you may want to switch it off.
To switch off, press the
•
;
button on the front
panel. After a brief period, the unit will switch off
and the Standby LED will glow red.
To switch back on, press the
•
;
button on the front
panel again. After a brief period, the unit will
switch on, the Standby LED will glow green and the
user interface will display the
Menu
screen.
If the MediaServer is switched off, any connected
MediaPlayers are disconnected, but can still play DVDs
and audio CDs using their slot loading drives.
MP1000 MediaPlayers
Your MediaPlayers can be switched off independently in
the same way as the MediaServer, described above.
When you turn them on again, they will automatically
reconnect to the MediaServer after a short period.
Once the connection has been established, the TV User
Interface screens will show a padlock symbol towards
the top right-hand corner of the screen as described on
page 21.
Emergency shutdown
Holding down the
;
button on the front panel for 5
seconds will force the unit to shut down immediately.
This must only be performed if the unit becomes
unresponsive and cannot be shut down correctly. Data
corruption can occur as a result of improper shutdown.
Note:
If any one of the units in the networked system is
forcibly shut down, all the units in the system should be
restarted.
UsING THE REMOTE CONTROL TO QUICKLY
FIND WHAT YOU WANT
scrolling
If you have a lot of media, finding the particular item
you want can be tedious so we’ve introduced the
concept of
SpeedScrolling
.
When presented with a list of items, if you press
•
the
U
or
V
keys on the remote control, initially the
highlight will scroll fairly slowly up or down.
If you keep the button pressed, the list will change
•
to an alphabet, and the highlight will scroll through
that. This alphabet represents the initial letters of
the items in the list.
Having found the letter you want, stop scrolling to
•
display a list of all the items starting with that letter.
You can then use standard scrolling to move
•
through the list of all the items that start with that
letter.
scrolling in the Admin User Interface
When navigating a list in the Admin User Interface you
can use any of several methods.
Use the
•
U
or
V
keys to move the highlight one
item at a time.
Use the
•
G
Page Scroll
keys to step through the list a
page at a time.
Press the key corresponding to the first letter of the
•
item you’re looking for. So if you were looking for
an item that started with the letter F, you’d press
the 3 key on the remote three times. The list will
jump to the first entry starting with that letter.
Press the
•
[
Alphabetical Scroll
key to open a
popup list showing the alphabet. This alphabet
represents the initial letters of the items in the list.
Use the above scroll keys to restrict the list to items
that start with one particular letter.
