QUICK START GUIDE

Thank You for Choosing PlayNetwork

This document describes the main features of PlayNetwork’s MC500 digital media player, how to set it

up, and how to use it. Please take the time to read the easy step-by-step "Quick Start Guide". Familiarize

yourself with the basic features, follow the easy to install instructions, and in no time, you and your

customers will be enjoying the custom music programming created uniquely for your business.

What Is The MC500 Media Player?

The MC500 Media Player is an advanced, commercial grade digital media player that was built

specifically for use in business environments. It's easy to turn on, plays your custom music (and

messaging) programming according to a pre-selected playlist and schedule, and has control features

that allow for local playback options. Best of all, once you turn the MC500 on, it is basically a hands free

player. You and your staff can forget about it and spend your time focusing on your customers.

For control reasons, the MC500 does not play consumer CDs and makes use of a special type of music

file format that cannot be downloaded or played on regular music players. If you are receiving CD-ROM

updates from PlayNetwork, these discs are also formatted specifically for use with the MC500 and will

not work in any other device. Our customers love this feature as it guarantees that only the music that

has been approved can be transferred to the MC500.

on the front panel. It will take 2 minutes for the MC500 to boot up. Then, adjust the volume of your

amplifier equipment to the desired listening level. You are in business, enjoy the music!

Put the MC500 To Sleep At Night

1. PlayNetwork advises not turning the power off at night (this also ensures nightly updates are

delivered for players on network connection).

2. Put the MC500 into “Stand-by” mode by pressing the silver power button once.

3. To “wake-up” the player, simply press any key.

STEP 5. UPDATING YOUR MUSIC

Network Updated locations - If your business is scheduled to receive music updates via network

connection, these will occur automatically. Please ensure that the MC500 is powered on at all times. At

night or during business off-hours, put the MC500 into “Stand-by” mode (see Put the MC500 To Sleep At

Night, above).

For CD-ROM Updates: If your store is not connected via network you will receive music updates by CD-

ROM for your MC500. The CD updates will be delivered through the US Mail.

To update the MC500 with new music, press the CD-ROM Eject Button (H) and insert the update CD-

ROM into the tray. Close the CD tray by pushing the CD-ROM Eject Button (H) again. It will take

approximately 5-10 minutes for the songs and playlist commands to be downloaded to the MC500’s

hard drive. Once the download is complete, you may throw away the CD.
