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.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

■ MusicCAST client Top Menu

1 Menu name

2 Cursor

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.

Setting up the MusicCAST client

17

Attaching the stand

1.

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.

Removing the side-panel cover

1.

Push the tab down firmly.

2. Slide the cover away from the

MusicCAST client casing.

Remote control

■ Loading the battery for the remote

control

1. Slide out the battery holder from the

remote control by pushing into the hole

in the holder with a ball-point pen, etc.

Note

• The casing is very stiff, and may require

significant pressure to remove.

2. Place the battery in the holder, positive

side upward.

3. Slide the holder into the remote control.

■ Battery replacement

If you find that the remote control must be used

closer to the main unit than usual, the battery is

weak. Replace the battery with new one.

■ Notes on the lithium battery

Please take care when using the lithium battery as it

may explode if mistreated.

• Never abuse or disassemble the battery.

• Be sure the battery polarity is correct. If it is not

installed correctly, it may cause fire or explosion.

• Avoid placing the lithium battery and also the

remote control with the battery installed, in high

temperature such as direct sunlight.

• Do not recharge the battery.

• When replacing the battery, make sure to only use

a CR2025 battery.

• Keep the battery out of reach of children. If

swallowed, get immediate medical help.

• When disposing of the battery, insulate it with

tape, etc. Never dispose of it in fire. Also, dispose

of the battery according to local regulations.

• If the battery leaks, dispose of it immediately.

Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it

come in contact with clothing, etc. Skin contact

may cause a burn. If it occurs, wash the affected

area with water promptly and get medical

attention.

■ Remote control operation range

Cautions

• If operation of this unit by the remote control

creates any malfunction in any other components,

change the placement of the component.

• Do not spill any liquid on or drop the remote

control. Do not place it near a heater or in the

bathroom where the temperature and humidity

become high.

• Make sure the remote control signal receiver is

not exposed to direct sunlight or strong lights.

Such exposure may inhibit the functioning of the

remote control.

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 your MusicCAST server using a wired network connection, have you

connected your MusicCAST client to the server with a LAN cable to a hub?

4 Is the MusicCAST server power turned on?

5 Is the MusicCAST client connected to an AC outlet?

6 Is the MusicCAST client power turned on?

Setting up the MusicCAST client

21

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.
