Music Mode
Music mode is a revolutionary new way for you to search through and play your favorite
songs that you have already setup on your Windows PC. It links directly to your
Windows Media Player or iTunes Audio library so that you can browse through your audio
files and listen to your music without going to your computer.
Note: This mode of the RCU is intended for use on the Windows operating system using
the Windows Media Player application (version 10 or higher) or iTunes application (version
7.5 or higher). Operation on other operating systems has not been verified.
Gyration Music Service Application
The RCU comes with a software application that runs in the background (as a “service”) on
the computer (PC) and interfaces to the Windows Media Player or iTunes music database. The
application communicates the music database information to the RF transceiver attached to
the computer. The information is then transmitted via RF to the RCU and shown on the display.
Gyration Music Service Application is required
for operation of the Music display. This Software
service is provided via an installation CD. Check
for software updates at www.gyration.com.
During installation of the software service,
you will select the default music interface,
Windows Media Player or iTunes. The music
interface can be changed at any time by
clicking on the tray icon, where there are
two menu items (Windows Media Player and
iTunes), with a check mark next to the active
one. You simply click on the other one to change the setting.
This software service can be enabled/disabled manually by the user. The service is set to
“enabled” by default (upon system boot). Disabling the service has no effect on normal
RCU operation (TV, PC, CAB/SAT, and AUX modes), but will make the display inoperable.
Music Display Navigation
When you press the Music Display button ( button) the Display powers up and displays
the top level menu structure. (If service application is running and within range, see the
Troubleshooting section for more details).
To move up and down the screen, use the UP and DOWN arrow keys.
To enter a menu level, use either the right (or OK) button. To back out of a level, use the
left (or Back) button. You can play the whole album by pressing the Play button at this
level, or enter the album and select a specific song.
Note: As you navigate through the menu the heading changes on the top line.
While a song is playing, the MP3 Tag information (called Metadata) will be shown on the
display along with a progress bar, the current running time and the time left for that song.
