Before setup Checking MusicCAST client connections Before you attempt to use the MusicCAST client to play music, check the following: 1 If you wish to listen to music with the MusicCAST client without using headphones, have you connected it to an external receiver, or to speakers? 2 If you intend to connect to your MusicCAST server using the built in wireless network connection, have you placed the MusicCAST client within an appropriate distance of the server? (see page 23) 3 If you intend to connect to yo
The MusicCAST network The MusicCAST server stores all music data used in your MusicCAST system. The MusicCAST client does not store or record any music data. Your MusicCAST client uses a Local Area Network (LAN) to transmit and receive data from the MusicCAST server, which it then plays back as music. The MusicCAST system can use both wired and wireless network connections to transmit music data. Both types of connections transmit the same data.
The MusicCAST network ■ Network addresses Each component on a network uses an address to identify itself to other components on the same network. The address consists of four numbers, and looks like this: 192.168.1.1 This is called an IP address. Without these addresses, the components on the network cannot transmit data to each other, and you cannot play music on your MusicCAST clients.
The MusicCAST network Wireless network connections Wireless connections are thus very convenient when there is enough signal strength for the client to transmit and receive data from the server reliably. However, since wireless network connections do not carry as much data as wired networks, the MusicCAST server can only distribute to five MusicCAST clients simultaneously using the wireless network.
The MusicCAST network Wired network connections ■ When should I use a wired connection? Wired networks use cables (called a LAN cable) connected between components to transfer data to a central network component (network hub), which then transfers the data on to the appropriate destination. This means that you need to physically connect your MusicCAST clients and servers to a hub with LAN cables in order to use wired network connections.
Connecting to the network Place your MusicCAST client in a suitable location (See pages 23, 24 for an explanation of how location affects wired and wireless connections). There are two methods you can use to configure your MusicCAST client for wireless connection. In almost all cases, the Auto Configuration function will configure your MusicCAST client correctly and automatically establish a connection.
Connecting to the network 3. Use the controller on the MusicCAST Using the Auto Configuration function The Auto Configuration function automatically connects your MusicCAST client to a MusicCAST server. Before attempting to use the Auto Configuration function, carry out the following actions: • Set the MusicCAST server in Auto Configuration mode (see the MCX-1000 owner’s manual for details).

Connecting to the network Configuring your MusicCAST client manually Usually, the Auto Configuration functions of the MusicCAST server and client will enable you to successfully connect all of your MusicCAST components. However, you can also use the screens detailed in this section to configure the MusicCAST network manually if necessary. This section of this manual (see pages 25 – 34) explains how to set each network parameter in the MusicCAST client.

Connecting to the network ■ Setting the ESS ID All wireless networks work by using weak high frequency radio signals to transmit data between the various components using the same “channel” on the network. Each “channel” has an identification code, called an ESS ID. Only items with the same ESS ID transmit data to each other. If you do not wish to use a wireless connection, skip this section and move to the section on setting the IP address. 5.
Connecting to the network 3. Use u / d to scroll the cursor to the appropriate setting and press SELECT. OFF: The MusicCAST client does not act as a DHCP client and only uses a preset IP. ON: The MusicCAST client attempts to use DHCP to obtain a new IP address from the MusicCAST server each time you switch it on. Notes • The MusicCAST client must be connected to a network with an active DHCP server if you wish it to act as a DHCP. The MusicCAST server can act as a DHCP server if you set it to so.

The Subnet Mask screen appears on the display. 1. From the Manual Setup menu, use u / d to scroll the menu to “WEP key” and press SELECT. The WEP key screen appears on the display. 2. Press SELECT. The cursor enters the IP address setting field. You need to enter same subnet mask IP address here that you have set on the MusicCAST server.
Connecting to the network 5. If you are satisfied with the settings you have made, move the cursor to “Save & Network restart” and press SELECT. This confirms the settings and restarts the network hardware on the MusicCAST client, returning the display to the Network menu. Alternatively, select “Cancel” to exit from the menu without saving and confirmation.
Music playback on the MusicCAST client The MusicCAST client can playback music stored in a MusicCAST server over a wired or wireless network. Two kinds of files are available for playback: MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3), and PCM (Pulse Code Modulation). PCM files give better sound quality, but can only be played back on one MusicCAST client at a time. On some screens the MusicCAST client may display a “*” beside some song names.

Troubleshooting Refer to the chart below when this unit does not function properly. If the problem you are experiencing is not listed below or if the instruction below does not help, set this unit to the standby mode, disconnect the power cord, and contact the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center. Problem Auto Configuration does not appear to work correctly. You cannot start playback on the MusicCAST client. Playback from the MusicCAST client skips.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Remedy The MusicCAST client does not play back some songs displayed in the song selection menus. You have not registered songs recorded from an external component to the library. Wait until the MusicCAST server completes encoding songs to MP3. MCX1000 owner’s manual, page 121 You cannot select an external input from the MusicCAST client. The MusicCAST server is recording from an external source. Wait until the MusicCAST server finishes recording.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Remedy You cannot access the MusicCAST preset tuner. The ANALOG REC LEVEL on the front panel of the MusicCAST server is set too low. Increase the ANALOG REC LEVEL. MCX1000 owner’s manual, page 29 The MusicCAST server AV receiver parameters are configured incorrectly. Configure the AV receiver parameters correctly. MCX1000 owner’s manual, page 122 The AV receiver connected to the MusicCAST server is not turned on. Turn the AV receiver on.
