disable the
Screen Saver
(found on System Setup page 1).
Note:
The External Display Mode setting configures the
external display for use with either an external touch
screen or a remote handset. In touch screen mode, four
shortcut buttons are displayed on the right of the screen
that correspond to the home, browse, find and back keys
on the remote handset. The on screen shortcut buttons
can only be accessed from the touch screen so are not
shown in remote control mode.
Note:
Once you have become used to the interface and
are familiar with its functions the screen saver can be
re-enabled.
2.6 First Use
Before attempting to rip a CD you must ensure that the
necessary Network Attached Storage (NAS) disk drive is
appropriately configured, connected to the network, and
switched on. Section 7 of this manual describes the use
and configuration of external storage.
To rip a CD, insert the CD into the transport slot. The ripping
process will begin automatically. When CD ripping is
complete UnitiServe-SSD will eject the CD automatically.
See Section 6 for further information on ripping CDs.
Only CDs owned personally should be ripped. Ripping a
borrowed CD may violate copyright law.
Note:
Although UnitiServe-SSD contains a small internal
music database, to be able to identify a CD and
download its associated data during the ripping process, it
must be connected to a working internet connection.
2.7 Software Upgrade
Software upgrade CDs will occasionally be released
for UnitiServe-SSD. New software is installed simply by
inserting the upgrade CD in the transport. The software
upgrade process will commence automatically. As part
of the upgrade process UnitiServe-SSD will eject the CD
and re-boot. The upgrade process is complete once the
interface returns to the Home Menu.
Note:
Any specific instructions included with the upgrade
CD should be followed carefully.
Never switch off UnitiServe-SSD from the rear panel power
switch or unplug it from the mains supply while a software
upgrade process is underway.
2.8 Switching Off
Switching off UnitiServe-SSD from its rear panel power
switch is not normally necessary unless it is to be
un-installed. It can be put into shutdown mode by
touching the front panel logo for five seconds.
UnitiServe-SSD may take up to one minute to enter
shutdown mode during which time the logo will flash. Wait
until the logo stops flashing before switching off UnitiServe-
SSD from the rear panel power switch.
Never switch off UnitiServe-SSD from the rear panel power
switch or unplug it from the mains supply unless it is in
shutdown mode.
To switch UnitiServe-SSD back on from shutdown mode, the
power switch must be switched off and on again.
2.9 Data Backup
We strongly advise that you protect your stored music by
implementing a regular backup to a second NAS hard disk
drive.
Backups should only be performed over the network and
we recommend that weekly, automated time-stamped,
differential backups are carried out.
The majority of commercially available NAS drives
incorporate setup menus, accessed via a web browser,
that enable regular automated backup of a specified
target drive to be configured.
The automated backup setup procedure for the majority
of NAS drives will be similar to the one described in the
following steps.
•
Ensure that the backup NAS drive and UnitiServe-
SSD Music Store NAS drive are on the same network
and switched on. Read the backup NAS drive
user instructions and make sure you understand its
operation.
•
From a computer connected to the network open
a web browser application and browse to the NAS
backup drive setup menus. The network “name” or
“address” of the NAS drive will be provided in its user
documentation or on a label affixed to its case.
•
From the NAS drive setup menus, create a new
shared folder on the NAS drive called “UServe-SSD
NAS Backup”.
•
Again from the NAS drive setup menus, create a new
“backup job”. Select a remote, time-stamp backup
and type the UnitiServe-SSD NAS drive network
“name” or “address” (“192.168.0.5” for example) in
the “host” text field. In the “path” field type “Music”.
If login and password fields are provided leave them
blank.
•
If a connection test facility is provided within the
setup menus, use it and wait for a positive result.
•
From the NAS drive setup menus, select the desired
backup format and schedule. We recommend
selecting a weekly, time-stamped, differential
backup. The initial backup may take a considerable
time to complete.
