Initial Settings
Keyboard
The default keyboard is UK English. If you
do not wish to change this, then skip this
section.
Highlight the KEYBOARD option and press
OK. Here you can select the keyboard
language for your country. When you are
happy with the selection press OK.
Highlight and select BACK or press the
BACK button on the handset, to return to
the SETTINGS MENU.
4.4 Display Settings
From the main Settings menu, highlight
DISPLAY and press OK.
TV Standard
If you are not experiencing a problem with
either TV or PC outputs on the Server then
you can skip this section.
Highlight TV Standard and press OK.
There are two options to choose from.
The default setting is PAL, which is the
correct setting for European television
receivers and those PC monitors that can
display a 50Hz refresh rate. If you are
using an American TV or a PC display that
reports ‘no input’ or ‘out of range’ error
then change the standard to NTSC. If you
are using a European TV and PC monitor
combination and the monitor reports an
error the best setting is NTSC as most
modern European TV sets can display an
NTSC signal. Refer to the following table
for the correct setting for your monitor set
up.

Display
This is where you set the brightness level
of the front panel LCD display. There are
four levels; off, dim, medium and bright.
4.5 Setting Audio
Preferences
From the main Settings menu, select
AUDIO and press OK. There are several
useful and important settings available
in this menu that can affect the way the
Server handles audio compression and
disc storage. You need to think carefully
about what you want the Server to do
before deciding on what settings to make.
Store Format
– this menu decides in
what format the audio files will be
stored on the Server. This is a global
setting, which means that every CD you
store will be automatically stored in
the selected format. The default setting
is UNCOMPRESSED. This means that
the music will be stored in the highest
possible quality, exactly as it is on a CD.
However this also means that the music
will take up the largest amount of space.
The hard disk drive size is 160GB, which is
enough to store the average CD collection
uncompressed. If you have a larger than
average CD collection and wish to store it
all on the Server then it may be necessary
to adjust the compression setting to one
of the five different levels available. Use
the following table to help you decide
which setting is best for you.

As a guide, it is always best to store audio
files at the highest possible bit rate but
you need to bear in mind that you will
always be buying more music. So if you
have a record collection of 200 CDs that
has taken five years to acquire you will
easily fit your whole collection on the
Server in uncompressed format but will
run out of room in a couple of months. In
this instance a bit rate of 320Kbps would
be the best format.
