Controlling the Digital Audio Server (DAS)
TV CEC Control
If your TV is CEC enabled you can control the audio server using the TV remote:
1. Connect a CEC enabled HDMI cable between the TV and the HDMI port on the rear of the audio
server.
2. Note: On some TVs only HDMI port 1 is CEC enabled.
3. If the audio server does not recognise the CEC connection, turn both the TV and audio server off
and then back on again whilst the HDMI cable is connected.
4. Once CEC has been recognised, you can scroll through the music files stored on the USB media.
Play track, pause, stop etc..
Network Control
You can control the audio server from other devices connected to your network, such as a smart phone or
tablet. To do this you must first install XBMC remote (or other) on your smart device. The procedure to do
this is highlighted below in the “Installing & Setting up XBMC & Yatse Remote Apps” section.
Web Interface
The web interface can be accessed on port 80 by opening a web browser and typing the DAS IP address
followed by :80 ( e.g. ://192.168.1.14:80 ) into the URL bar.
Alternatively you may be able to type the host name followed by :80 ( i.e. http://caasaudio:80 ). Note: this
may not work with a lot of routers and you may need to type the DAS IP address and :80 into the URL bar.
Notes:
•
The DAS IP address
will pop up in the right hand bottom corner of the TV on DAS boot up. Please
make a note of this IP address (the DAS must be networked first for this to happen).
•
The DAS IP address
can also be found through other techniques, such as downloading the App
“Fing” to your smart phone / tablet. You can then run Fing and it will display the IP addresses of all
devices connected to your network. Alternatively if CEC is enabled on your TV, you can use the TV
remote to scroll to
System → System info
where the IP address will be displayed.
Recommended DAS Shut down / Turn off procedure
The DAS should always be shut down in a controlled manner just as you would a PC or laptop. The Audio
Server should always be shut down via the power icon in the lower left corner of the screen:
1. Select the power icon in the bottom left corner of the screen (using either a CEC enabled TV remote,
smart phone, tablet or web interface).
2. Then toggle down and select “Power off system”.
3. The DAS will then power down and you can then turn the unit off at the rear.
