Scanning media in a disc changer

The following sections describe how to add media to the media database using the options listed above.

To scan media loaded in a disc changer to add it to the media database:

  1. Click Connections.
  1. Ensure the disc changer is connected to a serial port on the controller. 

    2. Example: From the Control/AV tab, select Sony CX777ES Disc Changer; ensure that the Serial RS-232 is connected to the correct serial port (1 or 2). 

  1. From the Network tab, ensure that the controller has an address.
  2. Click Media.
  3. Select Disc Changer.
  4. In the Disc Changer pane, click Scan > OK to Scan all.

    5. Note: If the following error message displays, "Your system has not been registered on MyControl4," you can click Yes to continue scanning music without registering, but the music scans based only on the current metadata stored in the music files. You will need to enter any missing information manually for each disc. 

    Example: If no cover art is found in the file’s metadata, then no cover art is associated with the music unless the system is registered in 4Sight, and you can go to the online media lookup (Media view > Edit > Name > Search > Select > Next) to obtain the cover art for the music. See "Register the controller from a Navigator" in Composer Pro Getting Started for instructions.
