Browsing
Browsing is the process of navigating lists
of music available on your home network.
Browsing on a REX is much the same as on an
MP3 player. A big difference is that you’ll usually
have a lot more choice of music because REX
lets you browse all the music available on your
home network.
Clickable knob
The clickable knob is the large knob
centered under the REX display. It has two
related functions. By turning the knob, you
navigate menus on the REX display. By
pressing the knob, you select the currently
highlighted option and more forward. The
clickable knob also adjusts volume when in
Now Playing mode.
Digital music libraries
Music les stored on computers and USB
mass storage devices are organized into music
libraries that you can browse from REX or
from other devices.
Favorite Server
REX lets you set a favorite server. If you select
one, you’ll be given a short cut to that server
when you browse for music in Net.
Home network
Home networks are local area networks
(LANs) that allow home computers to share
les, printers, and an Internet connection.
Other devices, such as REX, may be connected
to a home network. Home networks are
either wired or wireless, although some wired
networks provide wireless bridging to allow a
wireless connection. Typically, a router is used
to allow the necessary interconnections to form
the network.
iPod
The iPod is the popular MP3 player from Apple.
This manual makes a distinction between iPod
and other MP3 players. This is because the iPod
uses a proprietary standard for managing and
playing music les. For this reason, REX connects
to and interacts with iPod differently than other
MP3 players.
Link
If you select Source: Link, you can listen to the
same music that is playing on another REX in
you home. This is a great feature for parties or
anytime you want to listen to the same music
wherever you are at home.
