Network functions and the MusicCast CONTROLLER
app
A network connection allows you to listen to Internet radio stations or music streaming
services, and to use AirPlay to play music files, or to play music files stored on your
computer (media server) via this unit.
Most playback requires the "MusicCast CONTROLLER" app for mobile devices. Install
and use the MusicCast CONTROLLER app on your mobile device to play music files.
Proceed from network connection to playback in the following sequence.
a
Choose a wired network connection (p.15) or a wireless network connection
(p.16).
b
Use the MusicCast CONTROLLER app to connect the unit to a network, and
register the unit as a MusicCast-enabled device (p.16).
c
Use the MusicCast CONTROLLER app to play music over a network* (p.22 to 25
in the Owner's Manual).
* AirPlay can be used to play music files without using the MusicCast CONTROLLER
app.
NOTE
• To use network function, the unit, your PC and mobile device must be connected to the same router.
• When using a multiple SSID router, access to the unit might be restricted depending on the SSID to
connect. Connect the unit and mobile device to the same SSID.
• Some security software installed on your computer, or network device settings (such as a firewall), may
block the unit's access to your computer or Internet radio stations. Should this occur, change security
software and/or network device settings.
