Quick Start Guide
DIGITAL MEDIA PLAYER
The Plinius Tiki will perform this function.
DIGITAL MEDIA SERVER (DMS)
This is a DLNA compatible device for storage of your music library
and software to manage the fi les. This may be a Ripping-NAS, NAS,
PC or Mac and a program such as Asset UPnP, Windows Media
Player, TwonkyMedia Server etc.
DIGITAL AUDIO FILES
These fi les may be ripped from CD’s you own or fi les you have
purchased and downloaded online. You may rip the CD’s using a
Ripping NAS or software such as dBPowerAmp, or you may use a
professional CD ripping service. NOTE: Copyrights exist around
recorded music and its use. Do not rip CDs for use unless you are
the owner of the original disc.
ARATAKI CONTROLLER
The Arataki controller is an application (app) installed on an iPad
for controlling digital audio. The Plinius Arataki app has been
designed for use with Plinius digital source components but will
control other DLNA compatible digital streaming devices.
WIRELESS ROUTER
This device connects to your Plinius Tiki and to your media server
and has capability to create a wireless connection between this
point and the Arataki controller.
COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
There are several ways to connect your components. The simplest
connection is to use LAN cables between the Plinius Tiki, wireless
router and media server or you may use wireless bridge devices to
send and receive at each end instead of one of these LAN cables.
COMPONENT CHECKLIST
Check you have all the components to get the system working. This list outlines the
components you need, and some common examples of these components.
