VIA!dj DIGITAL MUSIC SERVER
VIA!dj is a digital audio storage and music
management system with a 160 gigabyte
hard drive that gives you instant access to
all your music from any VIA! Touch Panel
or television in the home. With four
discrete pairs of audio outputs, having one
VIA!dj is like having four separate mega
CD changers – each one capable of
independently playing any song from your
entire music collection – instantly, from
any room.
Updated for 2005, the VIA!dj now has a
Digital Jukebox feature that allows you
to create a song list from your music
collection which will play in the order you
entered them. In the tradition of the classic
American jukebox, just add as many songs
as you like to the Jukebox list and let ‘em
play! Also new, the dj can now rip CDs at
20 real-time speed from its front CD tray.
Now you can add new music to the dj’s
hard drive faster than ever before! It is
now also possible to easily transfer music
from the VIA!dj to portable digital music
players (using a PC) when you want to take
your music on the move. And finally, we’ve
added a fourth pair of analog audio
outputs! Now you can listen to four
independent streams of audio throughout
the house plus use the digital audio output
to access your music collection in a home
theater.
Navigation is easy and intuitive with the
large, full-color graphics displayed on the
touch panels. View the cover art of each
CD. Select the music you want to listen to
by artist name, CD title or song title, or
select entire genres. Make your own play
lists. Play back any CD, play list or genre
randomly or sequentially––do it all from
anywhere you have a VIA! Touch Panel.
Four pairs of analog audio outputs allow
you to listen to different tracks in different
rooms simultaneously. The dj also features
a digital audio output that allows you to
share one of the analog outputs with a
home theater. VIA!dj graphics can then be
viewed, and the dj controlled, by a VIA!
Touch Panel in the home theater. Or the
graphics can be displayed on the theater’s
large screen TV, and controlled using the
VIA!dj handheld remote (included). The
VIA!dj can even record DTS 5.1 encoded
audio CDs for home theater playback.
The VIA!dj has a built-in modem which
dials up on-line music information services
and automatically downloads cover art and
song lists. Data can also be downloaded
using a DSL or cable modem connection
through a home network. MP3 audio can
be recorded in this fashion and added to
your music collection.
Now with Digital JukeBox Feature and 20X Ripping Speed!
