Introduction to AudioFile
™
The AudioFile operating system of the 640H is easy to follow and use,
and has been designed to allow you to get the most out of your 640H.
Menu system
A basic navigational menu is displayed on the front of the 640H, but the
full menu system is accessible by connecting your 640H to a monitor or
TV. To move around the menus, simply use the directional arrow buttons
(on your remote control or front panel of the unit) and press the centre
Select
button to accept your selection or progress to a sub-menu.
From the Main Menu you can access the following menus:
Music library - Access the various menus to play and record music,
create and organise playlists and search for any music
content that is available to the 640H (either on the 640H
or via a connected music storage device/computer).
CD - Access CD functions such as playing, storing and burning.
iRadio - With internet access listen to internet radio stations.
Line in - Access and record from a connected device which has phono
out sockets (eg a DAB tuner).
Info/now playing - Displays the music currently playing on the 640H.
Settings - Access the Information, User and System menus.
Data entry into these menus is available from the remote control, but It
is advised to connect a keyboard (USB or PS/2 types can be used) if you
wish to enter a large amount of track and/or album names.

Note: When you turn on the 640H for the first time you will see an
advisory message with the address for the Windows XP patch that is
required on your PC if you want to network effectively with the 640H (Fig.
1). This page will be displayed every time you start up until you select
“Accept”.
Playing a CD
After you have made all the connections to the 640H and turned the unit
on, the first menu screen displayed is the Main Menu. To play a CD, open
the CD tray, insert a CD and the CD menu will open automatically (Fig. 2).
There is a short delay before you can play the CD whilst the 640H
searches for CD details. If there is an internet connection the album title
and track names will be displayed. If you are not connected to the
internet it will display "CD Album X". Once the CD has loaded it can then
be played by pressing the
Play
button. When loaded, all tracks are
automatically selected to be played. To unselect, choose CLEAR ALL and
then you can select specific/individual tracks to be played.
Storing CDs
To copy the CD onto the hard drive of the 640H, select the STORE CD
option in the CD menu. From here, the whole album or individual tracks
can be stored if desired. Continue to the STORE CD option and select
START to begin copying to the hard drive. Alternatively, the
Record
button
on the front panel may be used. Before storing to the hard drive, you may
want to choose the file compression format. CD’s can also be played as
they are ripped onto the 640H’s hard drive. The first track will start to
play after it has been ripped.
