Music Server
You can stream the music played which your
Mediacenter
has access to in other
rooms. For this purpose, the
Mediacenter
has an integrated music server com-
patible with the U-PnP-AV standard. Thus, you can stream the music from CDs,
harddisk, USB memory, iPod/iPhone or radio via wired or wireless home network
in up to 6 rooms.
Setting up Music Server
•
If possible, connect your
Mediacenter
to the wired network (Ethernet,
Powerline), see page 19. Alternately, you can also use the wireless network.
Principally however, the latter gives a qualitatively poorer connectivity due
to external disturbances.
•
Switch on the
Mediacenter
, page 17
•
Make the network settings as described from page 19 onwards.
•
Import the music to the harddisk
of the Mediacenter (page 50) con-
nect external sources of sound (USB, iPod, etc.) or set up your radio recep-
tion (page 44, page 47).
Now, the
Mediacenter
is ready to transmit music to the compatible multiroom
clients, such as e.g. Loewe
Multiroom Receiver
or Loewe TV sets with integrated
Network Media Player
( streaming).
Multiroom Operation
If you operate the Loewe
Mediacenter
in connection with the Loewe
Multiroom
Receiver
and
Assist Media
remote control, you can comfortably stream music
in your rooms from a single remote control and if necessary, easily operate your
Multiroom Receiver
via remote control from other rooms also.
On selecting
Music Server - Mediacenter
, a list of services available in the
Mediacenter
appears on the display of the
Assist Media
remote control.
➠
The following operation relates to the
Assist Media
remote control which
is available as an accessory.
➠
Technically, depending upon the selected medium, there are restrictions on
the number of different sources that can be streamed. The following table
shows the options.

* Single Source: In multiroom operation the selected source can only be streamed
in one adjacent room (last one wins). This source can also be heard in the
main room if it was already selected.
** Multi-Source: Different (and the same) titles from a source can be played on
several
Multiroom-Receivers
at the same time.
➠
During CD operation the titles are played on the
Multiroom receiver
, which
selects this source first (first one wins). The other adjacent rooms can no more
select this source and receive an error message. In the main room any title
from this source can be played simultaneously without restrictions.
