Things to look for
Is the Base Transceiver connected by USB or Ethernet?
A Base connected through USB will see only the files on the computer it is directly connected to,
whether or not it is on a network. If you want the Base to locate files over a network, it must be
connected via Ethernet.
Are the folders containing digital audio files on all networked computers set for File Sharing,
or otherwise set with proper access permissions?
If you know there are audio files you want to listen to on a networked computer, you must ensure
that the folder(s) they are stored in are configured as shared.
) Refer to Shared Music Folders on page 15 for more information.
For UNIX or Mac OSX machines, file permissions must be set to allow users to access a folder or
directory over the network.
) Refer to Non-Windows Platforms in a Network on page 16 for more information.
Creating Shared Folders on a network requires Admin persmissions
In Windows 2000, NT, or XP, if you are trying to create a Shared folder on a networked computer
you must be logged in with Admin permissions.

The TerraPlayer lets me select and play music, but there is no sound
No sound could be caused by loose connections between the TerraPlayer Radio and the
stereo, or by a dropped RF link.
Things to look for
Are the Base Transceiver and TerraPlayer Radio connecting?
To verify if the Base Transceiver and TerraPlayer Radio are currently connected by the RF link,
press the following buttons on the TerraTouch OS: SETTINGS f SYSTEM f NETWORK f
WIRELESS. Check the LINK STATE field. If it is OFFLINE, you will need to join the RF link and
TerraPlayer Radio. To double-check the online status, press the MEMBER LIST button. If the
Node states are OFFLINE you will need to JOIN the Base and TerraPlayer Radio.

Are the RCA-stereo cables loose?
Check the RCA-stereo cables running from the TerraPlayer Radio to the component stereo system
to ensure that the connection is tight.
Is the stereo set up correctly?
On a typical stereo system, the TerraPlayer would be plugged into the AUX channel of the stereo
system. In order to hear the TerraPlayer through the stereo, the AUX channel must be on.
