Automatically scan media

The following steps use the Sony CX777ES Disc Changer as an example. 

To auto-scan added media:

  1. From the project tree, click the Sony CX 777ES Disc Changer. The device Properties pane appears for this device.
  1. Ensure that the Auto Scan Enabled box is checked. 

    2. When you select the Auto Scan Enabled option from the device's Properties page in Composer Pro, an automatic scan of the disc(s) is available if you add a new disc to an empty slot, or if a disc is removed. In those cases, the disc changer automatically recognizes the change, and the Navigators automatically update the changes. The disc changer recognizes the changes in its slot when its door closes to perform the auto-scan. The Auto-scan feature does not detect when a disc is replaced or swapped. 

    Note: Control4 recommends that you check the Ignore Unexpected Play, Stop, or Pause option. This option should be checked if you are configuring a system with lighting, for example, when the movie starts playing, and the lights in the room dim. Normally, you can use the Play, Stop and Pause functions on the disc changer during the course of a movie being played. By checking the option, these functions are ignored by the system. 

  1. Open the disc changer drive's bay, and change the existing DVD or CD.
  2. Close the bay.
  3. The auto-scan begins automatically when the disc changer door closes, and the information for the new DVD or CD is available in the Navigators.
