Hazard warning for the user, the unit or possible misuse

Important notice

If below is mentioned the Stream Box DS net. The Stream Box DS net can be operated via an app for iPhone

and Android, and is able to play back Apple Lossless files.

With the Stream Box DS net you can fetch music tracks out of your home network and play it back with your stereo

system. This process is called “streaming”. The music is stored on a so called server in this case, which is

connected to the same home network as the Stream Box DS net.

It is possible to configure just a normal PC as a server, so that it provides the network with all the music files

in its storage. Another type of server, the so called NAS (Network Attached Storage), works as an interface

between one or more large harddisks and the network. In many cases there’s a program integrated on this

NAS, that works as a server and makes media files for the net available. One common and widely used

program of this type is Twonky Media. The Stream Box DS net is able to stream media files from servers, which

fulfil the DLNA/UPNP standard. How to install such a server and how to put media files on it isn’t a part of and

not described in this manual.

The names of the submenus you can reach from the item

server

in the root menu can differ

dependent on the server program in use. In this manual the names of a typical server, Twonky Media, is used.

With different submenu names, e.g. because of a different server software, different settings, or other versions

of Twonky Media, the operation of the unit is still very similar to the procedures that are described here.
