Editing CD Information
Select a CD title from the list to populate the Artist and CD Title fields, where you can enter new
information as desired. Click the Update button to update that CD in the list.
Retrieving CD Information (from freedb.org)
1. Insert a CD into the CD player on your PC.
2. Click the down-arrow (in the Setting to receive CD data from freedb.org section of the dialog)
to view a list of available CD drives on your PC.
3. Select the drive that you placed the CD in, and click the Retrieve CD Data from CD button. If
the disc has never been read before, Design XPress will attempt to download the data from
freeDB.org.
Removing a CD Title
Select any CD in the list (Shift + click to select multiple CD Titles), and click the Delete button to
remove the CD(s) from the list.
DSS TV Favorites dialog
Up to 22 DSS TV channels can be selected to appear in the DSS TV Favorites list on the touch
panels. The names for these channels come from the list of DSS channels selected in either the DSS
Preferences - Direct TV - TV Channels dialog (Edit > Edit DSS Channels > DirecTV > TV) or
the DSS Preferences - Dish Network - TV Channels dialog (Edit > Edit DSS Channels >
Dish Network > TV), depending on which service was specified in the System Configuration
dialog.
The numbered fields have drop-down lists containing Network titles to choose from. Select the
desired DSS TV channels from the list boxes. The order in which the channels appear in this list is
the order in which they will appear on the touch panel.
The Clear All button clears every channel.
In the Default Selections area, click the Save Current As button to save the current
favorites list as the default list. Once saved, you can quickly return to the default list by
clicking the Use button.
To prevent the CD from playing when it is inserted, hold down the shift key on the
keyboard while loading the CD.
In order for the Disc Display Text to be displayed on the Touch Panels, the text
information must be FTP’d to the System’s NetLinx Master. See the Transferring
Preset Button Text to the Master via FTP section on page 54 for details.
