4. When you are ready, tap on the cogwheel to enter the settings and select "Add de-vice".
5. Follow the instructions of the MusicCast App. The name of the place stands for what your MusicCast system should be called.
6. Finally choose a room name and a suitable picture for the respective speakers or take a photo of your room yourself.
7. Done! Now you can play music on the YAS-306 and WX-010.

If you have already connected a MusicCast-enabled device to the network and want to connect another one, just tap on the cogwheel to go to the "Settings" and select "Add new device". The app will then guide you through the installation pro-cess.

Press the setting icon in the upper right corner of the MusicCast app and select "Add new device". Then follow the instructions in the MusicCast App.

Yes, the Yamaha MusicCast network speakers must be connected to the power supply so that you can use them. If you don't listen to music, the speakers switch to Eco mode. The Eco mode has a standby power consumption of less than 3 watts.

No, the WX-010 does not have an analog connection.

The Mini-USB connection is intended for service purposes and updates only.

The LAN port is for wired connection to a network. A LAN cable connection is al-ways preferable to WiFi if possible, e.g. if you have a heavily disturbed WiFi network.

The following operating systems are compatible: iOS 7.1 and higher, Android 4.1. and higher.

All MusicCast components support WAV/AIFF/FLAC 192kHz, 24bit and Apple Lossless 96kHz.

Currently 10 MusicCast components are supported. In addition, up to 4 additional zones can be activated via an integrated AV receiver.

However, it is possible to integrate up to 10 x 10 MusicCast components in the same network (if it is powerful enough).

In the room overview you have an overview of all your devices. You can also see where the music is being played. Using the "Link" -character in the upper left corner you can link different rooms and play the same music there.

Yeah. Hold down the room icon in the MusicCast app where you want to rename the source for about 3 seconds. After approx. 3 seconds, a window called "Room settings" opens. Type into this window. This takes you to the configuration menu of the selected room. Now select "Edit source". The “Edit Sources menu” will then display all the sources you can edit. Then tap the symbol of the source you want to re-name. You can also change the icon of the source or hide sources.

You can select the music source for each room individually, e.g. your smartphone, streaming services, Bluetooth, USB, Internet radio, etc.

Depending on which sources the MusicCast device has.

You can do this easily by touching the "Link" icon in the top left corner of the Music-Cast app or in the playback view. Then simply follow the instructions shown in the MusicCast app.

Tap the "Link"icon in the room again. The MusicCast App helps you and guides you through the process. Just follow the instructions that the app will show you.

In the "Playback View" window you will find the icon (three dots). When you tap on it, a selection of different options opens. Now select "Add to Favorites" - this puts the song in your favorites.

Depending on your smartphone/tablet, you connect to the MusicCast device via AirPlay (for Apple) or Blue-tooth (for Android) and then start playing the app whose sound you want to hear on the MusicCast device.

You can change the sound settings of the selected device with the Sound Settings. In the "Playback View" window at the bottom, select the "Sound Settings" icon (three bars with dots). When you tap on it, the sound settings will open. Then you can change ups, downs and bass.

No, that's not possible.

Please check that your Smart Device is connected to the correct network. If you still can't make any progress, please contact us and we will be happy to help you.

This effect can occur with a bad WLAN network.

Solution: Activate the following setting: "Stability Boost" under Settings >> Main Room >> Link Control. If this function is activated, you will get a bigger buffer and you can listen to your music without interruption.

If the WIFI connection is weak or unstable, there may be a time error in the initial configuration. In the WIFI settings, make sure you have selected the Network Mu-sicCast Setup. Please do not close the WIFI configuration menu of your iOS device until the iOS device has connected to the network and the reception quality is visi-ble in the upper left corner of the display.

Please check if the device to be used is connected to the power supply.
