Powering AudioTron
To power-on AudioTron…
1. Turn on the rear panel AC switch. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the front panel Standby button
for a few seconds.
2. If AudioTron is properly connected to the network, it will search the network for PC hosts with song files.
After finding the PC hosts, it scans for songs and catalogs the song names in its internal memory so they
can be quickly accessed.
3. The song search initiated by resetting AudioTron can be cancelled by pressing the “Stop” button. Songs
can then be scanned with the AudioTron “Search for New Music” feature in the Options menu, as
described in Reference Manual on the CD.
If AudioTron won't power on…
• Check that the rear panel power switch is on. Be sure to wait a few seconds before pressing and holding
the Standby button.
• Check that the power cord is seated properly in AudioTron’s rear panel receptacle. Also check the AC
outlet power by installing another known working electrical appliance (like a lamp) into the same outlet to
see if it operates.
• Check AudioTron’s fuse (see the section called “Rear Panel”)
Ü
If you will not be using AudioTron for an extended period of time, the AC power
switch on the rear panel should be turned off.
AudioTron’s Power-Up Messages
One or more of the following messages may appear while AudioTron is powering on:
Version 1.1 – Enet DHCP: Indicates the firmware version number and the type of network connection detected.
For details on how to upgrade the firmware version, see the Reference Manual on the CD.
In this example, AudioTron has detected firmware version 1.1, an Ethernet network and a DHCP server. If
you’re using HPNA, the display would instead indicate HPNA DCHP. Be sure to check that the displayed
network corresponds to the type of network you’re using. For instance, if you connected an Ethernet cable and
AudioTron’s display indicates HPNA, check the network cable connection to AudioTron and check the network
for proper operation.
Looking for Hosts – xx% Complete: Indicates that AudioTron has found the network connection and is
searching for PC’s on the network.
Found x Hosts: Indicates the number of PCs or other devices with IP addresses detected on the network.
Searching for Music. Found xxx Songs: Indicates the number of songs found on the PC’s in the network.
After the song search is completed, the first song title in the library is displayed under the main menu and
AudioTron is ready to play music.
Waiting for network: xx secs: Indicates that AudioTron is trying to connect to the network. If a network
connection can’t be established after 120 seconds, it stops searching and displays “No Hosts Found” followed
by “No Song Titles Found”.
No Hosts Found: Indicates that no PCs were found on the network.
No Song Titles Found: (Displayed under the main menu) Indicates that no songs were found on the host, or
that no host was found. Check for the proper directory names and shares, as described in the section
“AudioTron Shared Directories Requirements”.
If AudioTron displays “No Hosts Found” when powered on…
• Make sure your PC is powered on. If it is, then make sure the “power save” feature is not turning off the
PC and/or hard drive after a period of non-use. The Windows Control Panel “Power Management” icon
launches a dialog box that will let you set the power-save features.
• Reconnect the network cable into AudioTron’s rear panel to make sure it “clicks” when inserted.
• Try another network cable to make sure the problem is not due to a defective cable.
• Check the Network Troubleshooting section in the Reference Manual on the CD.
