Background Compression
If you decide to use one of the
compression formats, the CDs that you
store will start off as uncompressed files
and will be compressed when the Server
is in standby. This means that the storage
process is speeded up considerably as you
do not have to wait while the compression
process takes place. When compressing,
the LCD display confirms that the process
is taking place.

CD Action
Here is where you choose what you
want the Server to do when you insert
a CD. If you are going to be storing your
whole collection on the Server straight
away it will save time if you make this
setting STORE. If you prefer the CD to
start playing straight away set it to PLAY.
Otherwise select DO NOTHING.
Audio Mode (Party Mode or
Independent Zones)
Your Systemline Server comes equipped
with three independent audio outputs—
both analog and digital—which can be
used to feed music to three different
rooms in the house or can be connected
to a multi-room AV distribution system
such as Systemline Modular.
The Server is set up to have independent
outputs by default but if you are going
to be using only one audio output or do
not have a multi-room audio distribution
system or both then you should set the
Server to PARTY MODE. In this mode
all three of the audio outputs are the
same and the NOW PLAYING screen
shows more detailed information about
the track or station that is playing. For
more information see Section 10 (NOW
PLAYING screen).
Independent Zones
Use this option to set the Server to have
completely separate and independent
audio outputs. In this mode the NOW
PLAYING screen will appear split into
three horizontal areas one for each of the
three audio outputs. Each output is clearly
numbered. Alternatively, you can take the
Server out of PARTY MODE by pressing
any of the three independent output
selection keys on the handset. If there
is music playing this will have the effect
of showing you the split NOW PLAYING
screen. A further press of the same button
will take you to the single NOW PLAYING
screen for that output.
Party Mode
Use this option to put the Server into
PARTY MODE. In this mode the audio
outputs are all the same. Only the single
NOW PLAYING screen will be available
and the output will show the PARTY
MODE symbol of a cocktail glass (
).
You can also put the Server into PARTY
MODE by pressing the PARTY MODE
button on the handset (

). All music
will stop and must be restarted by
pressing the PLAY button. To leave PARTY
MODE press one of the independent
output selection keys or navigate to
AUDIO MODE page as detailed above.
You have now made all the settings
necessary to get the most from your
Systemline Server and will also be
familiar with the way the SETTINGS menu
works. As you may have noticed there
are many more useful features which will
be explored under Advanced Features
(Section 11).
4.6 Archiving and Backup
It is a good idea to protect your
investment of time and effort when you
store all your music on the servers hard
drive by providing some sort of backup.
The Server gives you the ability to do this
in two different ways
Backup
This option is the quickest and easiest and
will be sufficient in all instances except
where there is a mechanical failure of the
actual hard drive. Please refer to section
