Installing the Epicentre media player
Connect the player over ethernet or Wi-Fi, connect audio to your amplifier, then power it on. Music starts within about two minutes.
The Epicentre is Activaire's plug-and-play media player. You can connect it over a wired ethernet cable (recommended) or over Wi-Fi.
Option A: install using an ethernet cable
- Connect the ethernet network cable to the media player.
- Connect the audio cable to your receiver or amplifier. Use either a 3.5mm audio plug into the headphone jack, or an optical cable into the SPDIF jack.
- Connect the power adapter to the back of the player and to a working power outlet.
- The front blue light turns on automatically. If it does not, press the power button on the right side of the player. Wait up to two minutes for music to start playing.
Option B: install using Wi-Fi
- Attach the external wireless antenna included in the box.
- Connect the audio cable to your receiver or amplifier: a 3.5mm audio plug into the headphone jack, or an optical cable into the SPDIF jack. Do not connect the audio cable to the microphone jack.
- Connect the power adapter to the back of the player and to a working power outlet.
- The front blue light turns on automatically. If it does not, press the power button on the right side and wait up to two minutes for music.
A wired ethernet connection is strongly recommended for reliability. Wi-Fi is supported but can be less stable in a busy space.
