3.1. Preparation and connections
To prepare for first operation, the following points need to be taken care of:
Make sure that your local AC power grid supplies the voltage that the DMW300 is set to (see
voltage selection switch on rear) and connect the DMW300 to AC power via the provided power
cable and the rear-side IEC socket.
Connect a suitable aerial to the relative rear side socket to enable FM radio reception.
Connect the audio output to a sound system which provides the necessary amplification to listen to
the DMW300’s output signal. The DMW300 itself does not contain any amplifier, neither for
speakers nor for headphones. Set the rear-side output level control with a small flat screwdriver to
a medium level and adjust it later according to your sound system’s input sensitivity.
For many of its functions, the DMW300 requires a broadband Internet connection, either through
an RJ45 cable or through Wifi (requires additional USB WiFi dongle based on Ralink RT5370
chipset, not included). The easiest way is to connect a router set to DHCP mode (automatic
assignment of IP addresses) to an ADSL modem or a cable modem provided by your ISP. You
should choose a router that supports UPnP (many older routers do not support UPnP well in their
initial releases and you might need to update the firmware for better UPnP support) to enable you
to play music stored in PCs and NASs (network attached storage) in the local network. Enable the
default DHCP function and the UPnP sharing function of your router, then plug in an RJ45 cable
with Ethernet connection into the rear-side relative socket.
In case you use Wifi, ready the security key of the Wifi router (get it from the person setting up the
Wifi router for you). For setup of the Wifi, do the set-up close to the Wifi router (within 2 meters
line of sight).
If your network works with fixed IP addresses, assign an IP address for use with the DMW300
and read further below how to make the required settings in the DMW300.
4.1. Basic concept of operation
To make initial settings and operate the DMW300 for the first time, it is essential to understand the
operational concept. The DMW300 has been designed for commercial applications, where it is
assumed that the installer/configurator are not identical with the daily operator. It is thus assumed
that setup is done by the installer/configurator once, and the unit is then run by the daily operator
subsequently. Under this presumption, to make operation as easy and intuitive for the daily operator
as possible, some of the setup, editing and advanced configuration features are not available to the
daily operator. In this sense, the DMW300 operation is significanltly different from a HiFi component
where all menus are accesible with same ease by the user. The DMW300 makes it intentionally more
difficult for access certain functions by the daily operator.
Consequently, the DMW300 has two main operation modes:
SOURCE_MENU mode – this is the mode accessible to the daily operator, where the replay sour-
ces can be chosen, and folder/file choices can be made where required to determine the program
material.
SET_MENU mode – this is the mode designed to be mainly used be the installer/configurator,
where all configurational settings are made, and some advanced editing features are available.
The following pages show the menu trees of the unit, separately for the SOURCE_MENU and the
SET_MENU modes. Refer to the further following chapters to learn how to access and leave the
SET_MENU mode.
