Step 5: Connecting your OPUS to a wireless home network
You can skip this step if you don’t want to access music stored on your computer, or listen to
internet radio, or use the web browser to manage your music:
• Go to SETTINGS & SPECIALS > NETWORK > CONFIGURATION and select HOME
NETWORK.
• Select NETWORK NAME and press SEARCH to detect your network. You might have
to choose WEP or WPA encryption and enter a KEY if your network is protected.
• Turn the outer-wheel to the left and select SAVE.
Your OPUS is now integrated into your home network.
Step 6: Getting music into your OPUS
To add music to your OPUS you can …
• … import from CD: Just insert an audio CD, wait until it is recognized, and press the
IMPORT button. The CD is recorded, tagged and archived automatically. You can re-
cord music in different formats. Just go to SETTINGS & SPECIALS > IMPORT & BURN
> COMPRESSION and choose the format you want. We recommend FLAC to retain
CD quality audio but reduce size at what is called “lossless” compression, and MP3
(Data Rate: Higher) for the best compromise between quality and capacity.
• … stream music from a Mac/PC: In the main menu select MUSIC SERVER and choose
the computer you want to access music from (that music library must be published
via iTunes or UPnP compatible software). You can now access the music as if it were
stored directly on your OPUS.
Note: Only music formats that are supported by your OPUS can be played (WAV,
AIFF, FLAC, MP3, OGG, WMA, AAC). The OPUS does not play music protected by
Digital Rights Management.
• … listen to internet radio: In the main menu select INTERNET RADIO and choose from
a wide variety of stations (you might have to wait a few seconds until their information
is loaded to the OPUS via the network).
Step 7: Creating playlists
Now that you have music on your OPUS, you can easily create playlists for every mood or
occasion. There are two ways:
• On the OPUS:
1) Go to LIBRARY > PLAYLISTS, press NEW and enter the name of your playlist and
save it.
2) Browse your music library and select the tracks you want to add to the playlist.
The MARK button allows you to select several tracks. After you have selected
the tracks press ADD TO LIST and then select the playlist and press ADD TO LIST
again.
• Via the RONDOTM web browser: 1) Go to SETTINGS & SPECIALS > NETWORK and
press the INFORMATION button. Write down the IP address of your OPUS. 2) Enter
the IP address in your browser and create playlists through the web interface.
Note: Your OPUS must be connected to your network.
You can also create smart playlists (called SEARCHLISTS) that dynamically adjust when your
music library changes based on search criteria such as ‘all tracks which I gave a 5 star rat-
ing’. There is more on this in the relevant later section of this manual.
Step 8: Take the music with you
There is no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy your music some place else too. Just use the
OPUS to …
• … burn your music to CD: Select the playlist or album that you want to burn and press
the RECORD button. Insert an audio CD and choose OK.
• … copy music to your Apple® iPodTM or other portable device: Connect your iPod
to the OPUS’s USB interface and select the track/artist/album that you want to copy.
Press the ADD TO LIST button, select the iPod from the menu and press ADD TO LIST
again. The tracks will now be transferred.
Never unplug your iPod while a music transfer is in progress, and always use the EJECT but-
ton on the OPUS before unplugging your iPod. Otherwise you might damage or lose data
on either device.
