Installation - Getting Started
2.4 Switch On
If the HDX-SSD’s network facilities are to be used ensure
that it is connected to a working internet connection
before switching it on and that all the necessary peripheral
equipment is appropriately connected and configured.
Switch on the HDX-SSD using the rear panel power switch.
Note:
If the HDX-SSD is to be switched on from shutdown
mode, the power switch must be switched off and on again.
See Section 2.8 for more on shutdown mode.
After approximately one minute’s delay, the user interface
Home
menu will appear on the front panel touch screen
(and any connected display). Navigate around the
interface and select options by touching the screen or
using the remote handset
navigation
(
3456
),
ok, home
and
back
keys.
Note:
It is occasionally possible for the default remote
handset command set to conflict with other remote
controlled equipment in the home. A conflict will be
apparent if the handset appears to control an unintended
device or if another handset appears to control the HDX-
SSD. If a conflict occurs the HDX-SSD handset command set
can be changed. While pointing the handset towards the
HDX-SSD, press and hold both the page down and input
keys while simultaneously pressing the 2 or 3 key to change
the command set. Press the 1 key to return to the default
command set.
2.5 External Screen Setup
If an external display is used, the HDX-SSD external display
setup may need to be modified. Navigate, via the
System
menu, to the
System Setup
menu. Select and save the
desired
External Display Theme, External Display Aspect
Ratio
,
External Display Mode
and
TV System
. Initially disable
the
Screen Saver
(found on System Setup page 1).
Note:
The External Display Mode setting configures the
external display for use with either an external touch
screen or a remote handset. In touch screen mode, four
shortcut buttons are displayed on the right of the screen
that correspond to the home, browse, find and back keys
on the remote handset. The on screen shortcut buttons
can only be accessed from the touch screen so are not
shown in remote control mode.
Note:
Once you have become used to the interface and
are familiar with its functions the screen saver can be
re-enabled.
2.6 First Use
Before attempting to rip a CD you must ensure that the
necessary Network Attached Storage (NAS) disk drive is
appropriately configured, connected to the network, and
switched on. Section 7 of this manual describes the use
and configuration of external storage.
To rip a CD, insert the CD into the transport slot. The ripping
process will begin automatically. When CD ripping is
complete HDX-SSD will eject the CD automatically. See
Section 6 for further information on ripping CDs.
Only CDs owned personally should be ripped. Ripping a
borrowed CD may violate copyright law.
Note:
Although the HDX-SSD contains a small internal music
database, to be able to identify a CD and download its
associated data during the ripping process, it must be
connected to a working internet connection.
2.7 Software Upgrade
Software upgrade CDs will occasionally be released for the
HDX-SSD. New software is installed simply by inserting the
upgrade CD in the drawer. The software upgrade process
will commence automatically. As part of the upgrade
process the HDX-SSD will eject the CD and re-boot. The
front panel display may also go blank temporarily. The
upgrade process is complete once the display returns to
the Home Menu.
Note:
Any specific instructions included with the upgrade
CD should be followed carefully.
Never switch off the HDX-SSD from the rear panel power
switch or unplug it from the mains supply while a software
upgrade process is underway.
2.8 Switching Off
Switching off the HDX-SSD from its rear panel power switch
is not normally necessary unless it is to be un-installed. It
can be put into shutdown mode by pressing the handset
shutdown
key or pressing and holding the front panel
shutdown
button for one second. The HDX-SSD may take
up to one minute to enter shutdown mode during which
time the shutdown button will flash. The shutdown button
will remain lit when the HDX-SSD is in shutdown mode. Wait
until the shutdown button stops flashing and remains lit
before switching off the HDX-SSD from the rear panel mains
switch.
Never switch off the HDX-SSD from the rear panel mains
switch or unplug it from the mains supply unless it is in
shutdown mode.
To switch the HDX-SSD back on from shutdown mode, the
power switch must be switched off and on again.
2.9 Data Backup
We strongly advise that you protect your stored music by
implementing a regular backup to a second NAS hard disk
drive.
Backups should only be performed over the network and
we recommend that weekly, automated time-stamped,
differential backups are carried out.
