INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the DH9500 Music Server from Marantz. The
DH9500 is a revolutionary way of filling your home with music.
Your Music Server stores and catalogues your music collection,
allowing you to select any album or track at the press of a key.
You can browse through your albums and tracks using
convenient on-screen menus displayed on your television,
showing full album, track, and artist names downloaded from the
Gracenote CDDB Music Reconition Service. Your Music Server
also lets you organise your music collection and create
selections for different occasions to suit your mood.
Incredible capacity
Your Music Server is a hard disk based audio system which
can store hundreds of hours of music, all with the
convenience of instant access, at the touch of a key.
Convenient TV screen
Play music, record CDs, or organise your library using
convenient on-screen menus which show the full album,
artist, and track names, allowing you to select the one you
want with a few simple selections.
Internet access for track listings
Your Music Server records the CDs from your music
collection at faster than real time. It then automatically
connects to the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition
Service via the built-in modem or Ethernet connection. This
database provides album and track details for a wide range
of CDs. This information can be downloaded and stored
with each CD you record, allowing you to select any item in
your music collection by album name, artist name, track
name, or genre, giving you total flexibility in the way you
access and control your music collection.
Create your own playlists
Your Music Server allows you to compile personal playlists
and then automatically play tracks from the playlist you have
selected. Playlists let you customise your Music Server for
each member of the family, or for matching the music to the
occasion or mood.
Instant access, irrespective of your music collection
Whether you select a track by title, album, artist, or genre,
your Music Server locates it instantly and plays it at the
press of a key. All this is achieved with an extremely simple
and intuitive user interface, operated using a few keys on
the front panel or remote control.
