DOWNLOAD Sony HCD-CZ1 / NAS-CZ1 Service Manual ↓ Size: 5.12 MB | Pages: 70 in PDF or view online for FREE

5

(1) Personal computer with OS “Windows XP” (must satisfy the

conditions mentioned on pages 5 and 6 of Installation
Instructions for M-crew Server ver 1.1 (refer to page 9 of this
service manual))

(2) M-crew Server CD-ROM (for install)
(3) LAN cable

- Must comply with Category 5;
- If the set is directly connected to a personal computer:

Use a cross cable;

- If the set is connected to a personal computer via router of

hub;

- Use the LAN cable attached (part No. 1-827-478-11, 5m,

straight) or LAN cable that complies with the Category 5.

- Install the M-crew Server from the CD-ROM.(for the

procedure, see pages 8 to 10 of the Installation Instructions
for M-crew Server ver1.1 (refer to page 9 to 10 of this service
Section manual)

- Use a sample music file created during the installation, if

listening to the music.

(1) Start the personal computer in which the M-crew Server was

installed.

(2) Connect the set to the Ethernet connector of personal computer

with the LAN cable.

(3) Following “Selecting a server” on pages 13 and 14 of the

Operating Instructions for NAS-CZ1 (refer to page 11 of this
service manual), connect the set to the server.

Following the pages 15-17 of the Operating Instructions for NAS-
CZ1 (refer to page 11 to 12 of this service manual), check that a
music file in the server can be played with the set.
If it cannot be played normally, see“3. Remedies in Case of
Problems” in the next section.

If a problem occurred in “2 Network Connection Check” mentioned
above, first check the following two items:

(1) Problem and remedies (see pages 31 and 32 of the Operating

Instructions for NAS-CZ1)

(2) Messages (see page 33 of the Operating Instructions for NAS-

CZ1 (refer to page 8 of this service manual))

If the above two items cannot cope with the problem, take the
following procedure for checking

If the NETWORK function does not start though the [NETWORK]
and USER PROFILE [1] to [5] buttons on the set is pressed.

(1) Faulty connection between CN651 of MAIN board and CN501

of ETHER board
t Check if the connector is inserted obliquely of

disconnected.

(2) Faulty circuits of ETHER board

t Replace the ETHER board and check the operation.

If the board is faulty, check the soldering of power line,
communication line, etc.
-  CN501
-  FB505, FB508-511, FB515-521
-  IC506
-  R530, 537

(1) “Check Network” is displayed

t Replace the ETHER board and check the operation.

If the board is faulty, the PHY IC (IC501) on the ETHER
board may be defective.

(1) Check if the connectable serve has started.

t If the server has not started yet, start it.

(2) It will take 1 to 2 minutes for Windows to automatically get IP

address if the set is connected to a personal computer directly
and IP address acquisition method is set to “automatic”. For
this reason, “Configuring” may be displayed for a long time.
t The use of a router with DHCP, for instance, can shorten

the time.

(3) Communication with the server is disabled and “Configuring”

will be displayed for a long time, if network setting of the set
is different from that of personal computer.
t Make correct network setting.

Example:
- Set the IP address acquisition of both the set and

personal computer to “automatic”.

- If the IP address acquisition of either the set or personal

computer or both of them is set to “static”, check that
the input field of IP address where the subnet mask”255"
is set is same between the set and personal computer.
If the subnet mask is “255.255.255.0”, three input fields
from the top must be same between the set and personal
computer.

(1) If the network setting is different between the set and personal

computer, “Configuring” is displayed for a long time and then
finally “No Server” is displayed.
t See the item of 3.1.3(3).

6

(1) When the set is connected to the M-crew Server for the first

time, the M-crew Server identifies the HCD-CZ1 individually
and creates the profile information in the personal computer,
and therefore it will take time for “Loading”
t wait for a while as it is until “loading” finishes.

(2) When the set is connected to a DLNA server other than M-

crew server, if many contents have been stored in that server,
it will take time for “loading”.
t Though “Loading” will finish after a while, it is

recommended that the music be imported with the M-
crew Server and the M-crew Server be used as a server.

(1) If the load on personal computer is large, the communication

with the set will not finish within the specified time, resulting
in “Serve Error” Display.
t Reduce the load on personal computer, and then retry.

(2) “Server Error” will be displayed if the server information is

refreshed (addition or deletion of music) when you are listening
to the music with the set.
t Reconnect the set to the server.

(1) The baud rate will be reduced in the wireless connection

t Cable connection is recommended.

(2) Check if the music itself registered to the server is interrupted.

t Certain ripping software may not be able to encode the

music-to-music joints continuously.

(1) If a server other than M-crew Server is used, the following

functions cannot be used. Following the pages 13 and 14 of
the Operating Instructions for NAS-CZ1 (refer to page 11 of
this service manual), select the M-crew Server.

-  Web Radio
-  Library Mode switching
-  Library Search
-  Favorite
-  User Profile

(1) If the server does not convert the music into LPCM format for

streaming, the set cannot play that music.
t You can play the contents supported by the M-crew Server,

if the set is connected to the M-crew Server.

(2) The contents with DRM may not be processed for streaming.

t The contents with DRM are not supported.

(3) “Cannot Play” will be displayed if the contents themselves

are deleted though the music contents are registered to the
server.

(1) If it takes time to communicate with the server, the operation

of the set may become slow according to that time.
