The IR input jack allows remote control information to be

carried from other devices directly into the VIA!dj.

By connecting this jack to a digital audio component (such as

the surround sound processor or A/V receiver in your home

theater), digital signals from the VIA!dj can be transmitted

directly from the system without first being converted to analog.

6 VGA

The VGA connector may be used to connect a VGA monitor or

a suitable Plasma screen for displaying the User interface.

14 ANALOG IN [SEE ADDENDUM]

Analog sources (such as cassette or vinyl LP) may be recorded

onto the Hard Disk of the VIA!dj using this connection.

7 MODEM

The Modem port can be used to connect the VIA!dj to a

standard analog telephone line for internet access (using the

supplied cable).

15 ANALOG OUT 1,2,3

The VIA!dj is a multiroom device allowing you to listen to differ-

ent music in different rooms all at the same time. Each analog

output should be connected to the source input jacks of your

ELAN multi-source/multi-zone controller.

8 COMP VIDEO OUT

The Composite Video Output is used to send the VIA!dj’s

video display to VIA! Touch Panels and televisions throughout

the home. You may need to switch the TV to the relevant AUX

input to display the picture.

16 MAINS

Connect the supplied mains lead to this connector to provide

power to the unit.

9 S-VIDEO OUT

Connect the S-VIDEO output of the VIA!dj to the S-VIDEO

RECORDING MUSIC

^{• Press}✖Register

Your VIA!dj allows you to record music from CDs and add it to

the music library stored on the Hard Disk. Using either its

built-in modem or an Ethernet connection, your VIA!dj

automatically checks the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition

Service and XiVA website when you record a CD, and

downloads the album title, track titles, artist name, genre for

the CD and cover art. If you do not provide an Internet con-

nection you can label the CDs you record manually.

The following screen confirms that registration was successful

and your Internet account is operating successfully:

The VIA!dj can record DTS 5.1 encoded audio CDs. These

CDs must be recorded uncompressed and can only be played

out of the VIA!dj’s digital output, which should be connected to

a surround sound processor.

the VIA!dj’s hard drive while it is recording.

The quality of the recording is specified in the Settings menu

the settings menu see the chapter called Advanced Settings

p. 24-25.

RECORDING FROM A CD

Once recording has begun your VIA!dj will connect to the

Internet to retrieve the CD information:

•

Push the OPEN/CLOSE key on the front panel to open

the CD tray.

•

Place a CD in the tray label side up.

Press the OPEN/CLOSE key on the front panel to close

The following display shows the approximate progress of the

recording:

information on the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition

Service, look for the cover art on the Xiva website, and then

record all the tracks on the album.

NOTE: If the cover art is not found on the Xiva website, a

generic album cover, appropriate for the genre of that album,

will automatically be inserted.

USER GUIDE

One of the unique features of the VIA!dj is its 192Kb/s Variable

Bit Rate (VBR) recording option. At this setting, the VIA!dj

actually analyzes the content of the music being recorded and

adjusts the sampling rate according to the detail and nuances of

particular passages. This gives you a high-quality recording at

1/6 the hard drive space of an uncompressed CD (≈ 1,750

hours total!). This setting is ideal for whole-house audio distribu-

tion systems where the music is primarily being played over in-

wall and/or in-ceiling speakers.

TO MAKE A CUSTOM CD RECORDING

The custom recording option lets you choose which tracks to

record, the sound quality of the recording, and allows you to

enter album information.

To make a custom recording:

•

Choose Custom from the “Please select Auto or

Custom record” screen.

A series of screens allow you to specify each of the recording

options.

NOTE: When recording a CD, the initial transfer of data is

uncompressed. The actual compression of the data

(at whatever Recording Quality option you have selected)

takes place only when the VIA!dj is not playing music. This is

important to know as, if you attempting to record multiple CDs,

you may receive a message saying that there is not enough

space on the hard drive to continue recording. If this occurs,

you will need to let the VIA!dj ‘stand’ for a period of time while

it compresses the recorded data and frees up hard disc space.

If recording multiple CDs, we suggest that you do your record-

ing in the evening and letting the VIA!dj compress the data

overnight.

Tracks

The tracks menu lets you specify which tracks you want to

record:

ORGANIZING YOUR

MUSIC COLLECTION

This chapter describes the features built into your VIA!dj to

help you organize the music in your music library, including

information about creating playlists of your favorite tracks,

deleting albums or tracks you no longer want to store, and

naming albums, tracks, and artists.

PLAYLISTS

CONTROLLING PLAYBACK

Your VIA!dj allows you to create your own selections of tracks,

called playlists, and identify them with a name of your choice.

For example, you could select your favorite party tracks from a

number of different albums and include them in a playlist called

Party Music. You can then play your selection simply by

choosing the appropriate playlist from the Select Playlist

menu.

Whether you are playing music from the library or directly from

the CD you can pause, stop and resume playback as well as

seek and skip tracks at any time.

To pause play

•

Press the II key on the VIA! Touch Panel, VIA!dj front

panel or remote control.

Although playlists can be created directly from a VIA! Touch

Panel, there is no way to enter the customized playlist names

from here. We recommend that you use the VIA!dj remote con-

trol to enter playlist information as its alpha-numeric keypad

makes the entering of text easy. The remote can be used in

any room that has a system IR receiver and a TV with the

VIA!dj display available. The remote can also be used to create

playlists by pointing it directly at the VIA!dj and using the front

panel display to guide you through the process.

USER GUIDE

To select the music for a preset:

PRESETS

•

From the Preset Information screen highlight the Set

^{option then press}✖Select.

Presets are simple playlists that can be used in the same way

as a preset station on your radio tuner. For example, you may

have a preset which plays a particular album, a preset that

plays all the albums by a particular artist, or a preset that plays

all the music in a particular genre.

You will be prompted to select an item from the library to store

as your preset. This may be a single track, an album, all the

tracks by an artist, all the tracks in a genre, a playlist, or all the

tracks stored on your VIA!dj. For more information on browsing

the music library refer to Playing Music from the Library

p.17-19.

Although you can select a preset for playback using the VIA!

Touch Panel or TV user interface, the greatest advantage of

the preset feature is that you now have a quick, user-friendly

way to access to your VIA!dj from standard keypads and

remote controls that do not have the visual feedback offered by

a VIA! Touch Panel or television.

Before a preset can be used, a selection of music must be

assigned to that ‘station’:

Storing a Preset

•

From the Library menu select Presets then press

✖Select.

If you have not previously stored a preset all the names

will be labeled [Empty].

If you have already stored a preset, the existing presets

will be displayed:

When you have located the album, genre, artist, playlist or

track you want to select:

•

^Press✖Set to store it as a preset.

•

From the Select Preset screen select the number of the

new Preset you wish to create or the name of an existing

preset you wish to change, then press Edit.

The following menu allows you to choose whether you wish to

rename the preset or re-program it:

•

^{Press the}✖OK to continue.

Important Notes:

1. Presets are not automatically updated when new music is

recorded onto your VIA!dj. For example, if you have a

preset which plays the Blues genre, when a new Blues

album is added the preset will not contain those new

tracks.

2. Adding new music to an existing preset overwrites what

was previously entered for that preset.

3. To select VIA!dj presets from an ELAN keypad the keypad

must be programmed with the proper IR commands. Your

authorized ELAN installer may already have programmed

your ELAN keypads for these functions. If not, a trip to

your home to add the proper commands to your keypads

would be required.
