The MusicCAST client

The MusicCAST client is designed to work in conjunction with the Yamaha MusicCAST server to allow

you to store and listen to your entire music collection. With multiple clients, you and others can

simultaneously access and listen to your music collection from up to seven different locations.

Features

◆ Wireless networking with the MusicCAST server

◆ Instant access to all music data stored on the MusicCAST server

◆ Simultaneous playback from multiple locations (for multiple clients)

◆ 128 x 64 dot LCD display and remote control for easy operation

◆ Internal Yamaha digital amplifier

◆ 2 x 17 W/4 Ω outputs

◆ Slim Desktop/Wall mountable design

This owner’s manual refers to the MCX-1000 DIGITAL AUDIO SERVER as the MusicCAST

server and the MCX-A10 DIGITAL AUDIO TERMINAL as the MusicCAST client.

YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the

most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear

without annoying blaring or distortion – and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Since hearing damage from loud sounds is often undetectable until it is too late, YAMAHA and the

Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you to avoid prolonged

exposure from excessive volume levels.

3 Connection icon

4 Lock icon

5 Menu

This is a typical screen from the GUI of the

MusicCAST client. All of the features indicated

here are displayed on almost all of the screens you

encounter when using the MusicCAST client. Use

the cursor keys on the remote to move the cursor to

the desired position, and SELECT to perform an

action.

■ The lock icon

The MusicCAST server can lock MusicCAST

clients so that you can only control the volume and

mute functions, or stop playback. When locked, the

MusicCAST client displays the lock icon in the

dark bar at the top of the on-screen display. You can

reset the lock by unlocking the MusicCAST client

from the MusicCAST server. Refer to the MCX-

1000 owner’s manual for more information on

locking clients.

Using the Graphical User Interface of the MusicCAST client

The MusicCAST client offers a wide variety of functions and parameters for your use. You can access all of

these through the Graphical User Interface (GUI) viewable from the front panel display on the MusicCAST

client itself. The interface, as laid out below, is simple and easy to understand.

■ The MusicCAST client controller

Moving the controller in the directions indicated on

the front panel of the MusicCAST client performs

the same actions as pressing the equivalent cursor

key on the remote control. For example, pushing

the MusicCAST client controller upwards produces

the same result as pressing u on the remote

control. Pushing the controller directly into the

front panel has the same effect as pressing SELECT

on the remote control.

This manual explains how to use the various

functions of the MusicCAST client using the

remote control only. While many functions are

accessible from the main panel of the MusicCAST

client, some functions are only accessible from the

remote control.

Note

• MusicCAST clients can use the VIDEO OUT jack

on the MusicCAST client to display the on-screen

display on a TV/monitor.

101_Musiccast_E.p65 2003.06.28, 19:0216

Setting up the MusicCAST client

Attaching the stand

Place the MusicCAST client so that its

front panel display faces down, taking

care not to scratch the front panel in the

process.

2. Place the stand so that the two pins on

the lower bar of the stand fit into the

holes on the lower surface of the

MusicCAST client.

3. Using a screwdriver, attach the top bar

of the stand to the MusicCAST with the

provided screws.

Before setup

Mounting the MusicCAST client on a wall

1. Insert 2 self-tapping screws (diameter:

3.5 to 4 mm) into the wall, 40 mm apart.

2. Mount the MusicCAST client on the

screws by positioning it so that the

screws on the wall fit snugly into the

holes on the mounting bracket.

Cautions

• The MusicCAST client weighs 2 kg (4 lbs 6 oz).

Do not mount it on thin plywood or a wall with

soft surface material. If mounted, the screws may

come loose from the flimsy surface and the

speaker may fall. This damages the MusicCAST

client and may cause personal injury.

• Do not use nails, adhesives, or other unstable

materials to mount the MusicCAST client. Long-

term use and vibrations may cause it to fall.

• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over

loose cables, fix it to the wall.

Setting up the MusicCAST client

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 wireless network in your MusicCAST system uses high frequency radio signals to transmit data.

You do not need a physical connection between your MusicCAST server and clients to listen to music over

a wireless network, but you need to place all clients in fairly close proximity to the server for them to work

properly:

A wired network transmits data through a special type of cable, called a LAN cable. You must physically

connect each MusicCAST client and server to a network router or hub with one of these cables.

Connections using LAN cables functions without problems over much longer distances than connections

using the wireless network used in the MusicCAST system.

■ 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.

Look at the network diagram below to see an

example of network addresses.

■ Assigning IP addresses

Before you begin to use a MusicCAST client, you

must connect it to a MusicCAST server, assign it an

IP address, and set the server ID of the MusicCAST

server you wish to connect it to. Normally, you can

use the Auto Configuration function for this

connection process.

192.168.1.1

192.168.1.10

Setting up the MusicCAST client

The MusicCAST network

Wireless network connections

■ When and why should I use a wireless

connection?

The wireless network technology in the

MusicCAST system utilizes high frequency radio

signals to transmit data between the various

MusicCAST clients and the MusicCAST server.

You can place clients anywhere you wish without

physically connecting them to the MusicCAST

server, so long as they are within transmitting range

(approximately 30 meters if there are no

obstructions between the MusicCAST server and

client).

This means that you do not need to go to the effort

of laying and connecting cables and can change the

location of your MusicCAST clients at will.

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.

Note

• When using close to the maximum number of

MusicCAST clients, the surrounding environment

strongly affects the ability of the MusicCAST

components to make wireless connections. To

ensure stable playback in this situation, reduce the

bitrate at which the MusicCAST server stores

MP3 files before storing CDs (See page 121 in the

MCX-1000 owner’s manual).

Use wireless connections when:

• You do not want to install network cables

• You do not wish to use more than five

MusicCAST clients

• Your MusicCAST clients are located close to the

server

Note

• Walls, microwave ovens, and devices such as

cellular telephones that transmit radio signals may

interfere with or block the wireless network

signals from your MusicCAST system. In these

conditions, it is advisable to either relocate your

MusicCAST client, or use a wired network

connection to connect to the MusicCAST server.

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.

While installing a MusicCAST system using wired

network connections is more time consuming and

requires more effort, wired networks can carry

more data over a greater distance than wireless

networks. The MusicCAST server supports

simultaneous playback on seven MusicCAST

clients over a wired network.

■ What is a hub, and why do I need one?

A network hub receives signals from multiple

components on a network and sends directs them to

the correct destination. This enables many

components to transmit and receive data on the

same network. We recommend that you use a

broadband router if you wish to connect your

MusicCAST components to the Internet.

Note

• You cannot use MusicCAST system components

for any activity on a network that extends beyond

the router.

Use wired connections when:

• You wish to use more than five MusicCAST

clients simultaneously

• You wish to place a MusicCAST client at a

significant distance from the server (see page 23

for details)

• You wish to place a MusicCAST client in an

environment where there is a possibility of

electronic interference with a wireless network

signal (for example, close to a cellular phone

charger)

Setting up the MusicCAST client

Place your MusicCAST client in a suitable location

(See pages 23, 24 for an explanation of how

location affects wired and wireless connections).

The MusicCAST client may function correctly even

if the location you choose does not fit all of the

requirements (described on pages 23, 24). However,

the MusicCAST client requires a strong network

signal to provide good quality playback, so it is

advisable to try to place it in a location that meets

the above definition as closely as possible.

Note

• Metal mounting racks may affect wireless

network signals. Use wired network connections

when mounting MusicCAST components in metal

racks.

Configuring your MusicCAST client

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. In some

specific cases, such as when you wish to use

specific IP addresses for each MusicCAST client,

you should configure the MusicCAST client

manually.

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.

Carry out the following actions, before attempting to configure your MusicCAST client:

• If you wish to connect to a MusicCAST server over a wireless network, check that the MusicCAST client

is close enough to the server to receive a wireless network signal (see page 23 for details)

• Check that the MusicCAST client is connected to an AC adaptor that is connected to an AC outlet

• Turn the MusicCAST server power on

• Turn the MusicCAST client power on

Confirm that the following have been set on the MusicCAST server:

• The Client IDs of all of the MusicCAST clients that you wish to use on the network (See pages 67, 68 for

an explanation of how to check the Client ID of your MusicCAST client)

• The ESS ID of the wireless network, if you plan to use wireless network connections

• The Subnet Mask address

• The WEP key

To configure the client you must set the parameters listed below from the Network menu. The order

in which you set the parameters is unimportant, but you should ensure that you carry out each

procedure correctly.

• Network mode

• ESS ID

• Server ID

• IP Address (for the MusicCAST client) (This is not necessary if you are using the MusicCAST client in a

network with a component acting as a DHCP server, or if your MusicCAST server is set to act as a DHCP

server)

• WEP key

• Subnet Mask

Note

• The MusicCAST server and MusicCAST client only function correctly if they are under the same subnet

running under one or more network hubs.

■ Setting your MusicCAST client to act as

a DHCP client

If you set your MusicCAST client to act as a DHCP

client, it automatically receives a new IP address

from the network DHCP server each time you turn

it on. This is useful if you do not want to pre-set an

IP address for each MusicCAST client in your

system. The MusicCAST client is set to be a DHCP

client by default.

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. See page 110

in the MCX-1000 owner’s manual for more

information.

• If you are using a DHCP server other than the

MusicCAST server when using the MusicCAST

client as a DHCP client, you may sometimes need

to reset the IP address the MusicCAST client is

receiving from the DHCP server. Stop all activity

on MusicCAST clients while doing this. For more

information see the section of your DHCP server’s

owner’s manual that deals with the expiration of

IP addresses.

MusicCAST server On Screen Display for the

correct address.

3. Use u / d to select the desired 3 digit IP

4. When you have set all four numbers,

press SELECT to confirm the setting.

The cursor returns to the left of the IP address

Network restart” and press SELECT.

This confirms the settings and restarts the

network hardware on the MusicCAST client,

Note

• This setting is only valid when the

MusicCAST client is not set to act as a DHCP

client (see page 31 for an explanation of how

to do this).

■ Setting the WEP key for your MusicCAST

client

In order for your MusicCAST client and server to

share data over a wireless network, you must give

them both the same encryption key (WEP key).

Refer to the MusicCAST server main manual for an

explanation of how to set this key on the

MusicCAST server.

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 WEP key setting field.

You need to enter the characters here as you

have set in the WEP key field on the

MusicCAST server.

3. Use u / d to select the desired

character, then press j / i to move the

cursor to the left or right.

Note

• The MusicCAST network uses 128-bit

encryption, which requires a 13-digit WEP

key. If you enter less than 13 digits, the

MusicCAST client automatically adds zeroes

to the code you set to make up the difference.

4. When you finish entering the key, press

SELECT to confirm the setting.

The cursor returns to the left of the WEP key

setting field.

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.

■ Connection check

If you have carried out the setting procedure

correctly and the MusicCAST client has achieved a

connection, the connection icon appears at the top

right of the on screen display:

For wired network connections

For wireless network connections

The bars on the right of the wireless network signal

icon indicate the strength of the network signal.

One bar indicates a weak signal, five bars indicates

a maximum strength signal.

The following icon indicates that the MusicCAST

client is not able to connect to the MusicCAST

server. Try the network setting procedure again, or

refer to the troubleshooting section on page 69.

102_Musiccast_E.p65 2003.06.28, 19:0234

Playing back songs

The MusicCAST system stores its music data as

follows:

You can play songs stored in the MusicCAST

server by :

• Selecting a specific artist

• Selecting a specific album

• Selecting a genre

• Letting your MusicCAST client playback a

random selection of songs

• Selecting a pre-chosen list of songs (a playlist) to

listen to

• Playing songs from a bookmarked location on

your MusicCAST server

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. The

songs are not available for playback unless you have specifically designated your MusicCAST server to

distribute PCM files to this MusicCAST client. See page 125 in the MCX-1000 owner’s manual.

■ Playback groups

The selection criteria you use to choose a song for

playback also defines the playback group. For

example, selecting an album from the Album menu

for playback sets album as the playback group and

plays back all songs in the album. Playback

continues in the order the songs are registered, or in

alphabetical order depending on the playback group

setting. Playback group also defines the limits

within which the Random Playback, Repeat

Playback, and Song Skip functions operate.

Use GROUP+ to skip to the next item (for example,

“Album” in the playback group, or GROUP– to

skip to the previous item.

Note

• Sometimes GROUP– and GROUP+ appear to

have no effect on the MusicCAST client. This is

because there are no more items registered to the

playback group. For example, pressing GROUP+

when the playback group is “albums of artist” and

no other albums are registered to the artist has no

effect on the MusicCAST client.

Using the Auto Level Control function

The MusicCAST system allows you to store and

listen to multiple different albums from different

artists, without reference to the original sequence of

songs on the album. Because some albums are

recorded with different sound levels to others, you

may encounter large differences between the sound

levels of songs when playing back songs on your

MusicCAST client.

The Auto Level Control function on the

MusicCAST client automatically reduces or

increases the base volume level to a theoretical

average when it plays back songs, in order to

eliminate any large differences in the volume at

Resetting the MusicCAST client to default

settings

At times it may be convenient to return your

MusicCAST client to the default state it was in

when you first purchased it. You may wish to do

this in cases such as the following:

• When your MusicCAST client appears to be

functioning incorrectly for no apparent reason,

and reference to the troubleshooting section (page

69) is of no assistance.

• When you have made multiple mistakes in setting

the parameters on your MusicCAST client and

wish to start again.

• When you wish to reset the MusicCAST

completely for use in a different MusicCAST

network.

Warning

• Resetting the MusicCAST client to its default

settings will not reverse any updates to the

MusicCAST software that you have made, or

erase any data stored in your MusicCAST

network. It resets all settable parameters to their

server settings, so you need to set them to suit

your requirements after performing the reset

procedure. Note that in resetting all the

parameters, the MusicCAST client also resets its

network parameters, and disconnects itself from

your MusicCAST network.

Terms used in this manual

This manual uses a number of terms that, though not specific to the MusicCAST system, are not in general

everyday use. In addition, some terms are used in a slightly unusual context. These words are listed

alphabetically and in context below, along with an explanation of their meaning.

Playback

Album

A collection of songs in the MusicCAST database

assigned to a particular artist, and given a name.

Each album is assigned to an artist. By default, each

CD you store in the MusicCAST server is stored as

an Album.

Artist

The item in the MusicCAST database to which

albums are assigned. The artist of any CD you store

in the MusicCAST is stored as the artist to the

corresponding album (see album above).

Bookmark list

A list of songs you have designated for easy

retrieval using a MusicCAST client.

Genre

The music type to which the albums stored in the

MusicCAST server are assigned. Examples include

Jazz, Rock, and Classical.

Group

The category which you are operating your

MusicCAST component in. For example, if you

playback an album without selecting a song, then

you are operating within the “album” category. If

you playback a genre without selecting a song, you

are operating within the “genre” category.

Playlist

A list of songs you designate using the MusicCAST

server for playback in a given sequence.

Song

A single continuous track, equivalent to a single

track from a CD, cassette, or other source, stored on

the MusicCAST server.

Recording

MP3 Format

A data format used to store music on the Hard Disk

Drive in the MusicCAST server. MP3 files take

roughly one tenth of the space that PCM files need

to store the same song. However, sound quality is

not as good as that of PCM files, and the

MusicCAST server cannot record MP3 files to a

CD-R.

PCM format

A data format used to store music on the hard disk

drive in the MusicCAST server. PCM files provide

CD-quality audio playback but require a lot of

space on the hard disk drive.

Network connections

Connections

The links between the components in your

MusicCAST system which allows them to

exchange information. MusicCAST components

can make both wired and wireless connections.

DHCP

A system of automatically assigning IP addresses to

components in a LAN. A server component running

a DHCP service assigns an IP address to

components when they are switched on.

ESS ID

The ID of the channel that your MusicCAST

system uses to transmit data when using wireless

connections.

IP address

Four 3 digit numbers that together make up a

unique identity number used by a component

connected to a network.

LAN cable

A cable for connecting two components on a Local

Area Network (LAN).

Network

A network is a collection of electronic components

which share data and resources with one another.

Subnet mask

A number identifying the group within a network to

which a particular component belongs.
