❍ TV/monitor

❍ MusicCAST client

❍ AV receiver, speakers
Connect speakers and an amplifier or AV receiver to the MusicCAST server if you wish to listen to music stored
on its hard disk drive from the MusicCAST server directly.
❍ Internet
When song, artist, album, or genre titles are not present in its built-in database the MusicCAST server can use an
Internet connection to download relevant information. We recommend that you use a broadband router to
connect to the Internet. Connecting to the Internet is not absolutely necessary, but enhances the experience of
using the MusicCAST system.

Allows you to easily enter and edit information such as album and song titles on the MusicCAST server.
❍ MusicCAST client speakers
Connect speakers to the MusicCAST client if you wish to listen to music from it directly.
