### Quick Start Guide

#### **1. Connect to the Internet**

Use the **ethernet cable** to connect the music player to your **internet connection or router (LAN port)**.

#### **2. Connect to the Amplifier**

**One zone:** stereo, so connect both output A and output B.

**RCA cable** from **output A (or B)** on the player to the **AUX / CD input** on your amplifier or amplified speaker.

#### **3. Connect to Power**

Plug the supplied **5V adapter** into the **DC jack**. The unit powers on automatically.

### That's It

> The player begins playing audio about **90 seconds** after power-up, and the song title and artist appear on the front-panel display.
