About this manual

The SoundServer is a hard disk based audio system that stores and catalogues your music collection. It allows you to select and play any album or track instantly using on-screen menus displayed on your television. The system automatically downloads full album, artist, and track names from the Internet CD database (Gracenote) when recording CDs.

The guide covers setting up the unit with included accessories like audio leads, TV leads, and a remote control. It details how to connect the SoundServer to music systems via line-level phono stereo input or digital coaxial output. Users can learn to record from CD, create custom playlists, organize their library by artist, album, genre, or track, and access additional services like news and reviews through XiVA-Net.
