17Operating the Streaming ClientGeneral Information onthe Streaming ClientThe Music Player includes what is known as a 'Streaming Client'. This isa new class of playback devices for media content, providing a means ofplaying music which is stored on a vast variety of sources. These sources maybe an iPod or a USB hard disc connected directly to the Music Player, but theymay also be thousands of miles away (e.g. Internet radio station). TheStreaming Client can access such remote sources via a home network and theInternet.The network configuration is explained in the Chapter 'Network Con-figuration'.The Music Player’s Streaming Client can access the following sources:Local sources(direct connection)Remote sources(via home network or Internet)USB memory sticks andUSB hard discsInternet radioiPod NAS server (with UPnP-AV server)PC (with UPnP-AV server)The media content formats which the Music Player can reproduce are verywide-ranging, and extend from compressed formats such as MP3, WMA, AACand OGG Vorbis to high-quality non-compressed data formats such as FLACand WAV, which are thoroughly audiophile in nature. A full listing of all possibledata and playlist formats is included in the Specification, which you will find inthe Appendix to these instructions.Since virtually no read or data errors occur when electronic memory media areaccessed, the potential reproduction quality is even higher than that of CD. Thequality level may even exceed that of SACD and DVD-Audio.Select Lists The music content to be played is chosen from Select Lists. These lists areoperated using the navigation buttons (cursor buttons) which you will find onthe remote control handset and on the front panel. All content can be accessedvia the main menu. Internet Radio in particular offers a huge number ofstations, which can result in long searches or periods of navigation. Wetherefore recommend that you store your preferred stations in a FavouritesList, as this makes them easy and fast to access, with no protracted searching.It is also possible to store Internet radio stations as Presets, just as you do withnormal radio; they can then be called up directly just by entering a number.The media content can be listed according to various criteria - Internet radiostations e.g. by country of origin, genre or alphabetical, music from mediaservers e.g. by artiste, album, track, genre, etc.The exact form of the displayed list and the preparation of the content alsodepend to a large extent on the capabilities of the server, i.e. the full facilities ofthe Music Player cannot be exploited with all servers or media. You maytherefore find that in many cases not all the functions described in theseinstructions can be used. |
