While it is not necessary to have a home computer to use the Rio Advanced
Digital Audio Center, it is possible to share digital audio files between your home
computer and the Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center, and to access the home
computer’s hard drive for additional digital audio files via Home Phoneline
Networking (Home PNA), Universal Serial Bus (USB) or Ethernet. This
is convenient if you already have an extensive music library on your computer and
you don’t want to re-record your music CDs onto your Rio Advanced Digital
Audio Center.
NOTE: In order for your PC and the Rio Advanced Digital Audio
Center to communicate over an Ethernet or HomePNA
network, the Allow emplode to connect over network box
must be selected on the Enter emplode password screen.
Connecting via Home PNA
NOTE: To use this option, your PC must have an Home PNA Adapter
installed and connected to the phoneline via a standard phone
cord.
