Cyrus Streamline series User Instructions

Streamline set-up options

The Streamline is extremely versatile and can be incorporated into your

music world in many different ways. This page shows two conﬁgurations

recommended by Cyrus, and one that is not recommended.

The systems are illustrated as guidelines only to help you plan the best

way to install your Streamline.

USB music store system - recommended

This is the simplest Streamline system. With the addition of just a pair of

speakers, you can enjoy all of the music library stored on the hard drive.

Advantages:

Extremely simple to set up.•

Does not require a network or a computer to function.•

Disadvantages:

Library navigation is by folder on the hard drive.•

The hard drive must be re-connected to a computer when you want •

to add music to the library.

With no connection to the Internet, internet radio reception is not •

possible.

NOTE: A hard drive for use with a Streamline must be formatted as FAT16

or FAT32 only.

Ethernet system with NAS drive - recommended

This is the optimal Streamline system. In this system all network

connections are cabled and the music library is contained on a NAS

drive, located near the Streamline. The network switch, placed near the

Streamline, provides local connection between the Streamline and the

NAS drive for fastest possible data transfer. The network switch links

to the router to enable Internet Radio functions and music transfer

between the computer and the NAS drive.

This system carries the strongest recommendation from Cyrus.

Advantages:

Robust wired connection between network components.•

Easy navigation of music content.•

Music is added to the library on the NAS drive from the computer •

through the network.

Internet radio reception is possible.•

Disadvantages:

None.•

Expansion:

Other sources and USB devices may also be connected to the •

Streamline.

All-wireless system

Although Cyrus wi-ﬁ technology can provide a really easy installation

solution, wireless transfer can be affected by the building and other

wi-ﬁ equipment, Therefore, where possible, a wired installation is

recommended for the best transfer of large ﬁles.

Advantages:

Looks simple to install.•

Disadvantages:

Lower quality connection between networked components.•

Installation and conﬁguration of UPnP server software on each •

network computer will be necessary to permit access to the

music library.

Music is only available to the Streamline when the computer(s) •

containing the music library are switched on.

Your retailer will have been trained to provide you expert advice to

ﬁnd the optimum setup for your Streamline system.
