Insert DVDs into your changers, following the changer manufacturer’s instructions and close the
changer door. Quick Lookup will automatically start in a few seconds. If the Quick Lookup pro-
cess does not automatically start, then manually start the Lookup using the steps described below.

DVDs or CDs that you load into your changer. The artist name, album name, and track list are
provided by the Gracenote® Music Recognition Service. The album cover, movie title, movie
info, and movie cover art are provided by the Escient service. This information is downloaded
from the Escients servers to your FireBall using your Internet connection. This process is referred
to as “Looking up Disc Information”.
