The 640H can now be controlled by a PC running Windows XP or a PDA
(Pocket PC) running Windows Mobile 2003 or Windows Mobile 5.0. This
software is designed so you can control your 640H from the comfort of
your living room chair, bed etc without the need for a remote control or
keyboard.
The control software not only allows you to perform the navigation
functions as found on your remote control, but it can also browse the
contents of the 640H music database and allow you to play a track,
album, or even a whole catalogue of music by an artist. This can also be
filtered by alphabet as you would using the remote control.
The control software essentially has two different modes:
1.
Remote
Control
Mode 2.

PC minimum requirements are Windows XP with service Pack 2 and .net
2.0 installed. PDA minimum requirements are Windows Mobile 2003 or
Windows Mobile 5.0 both with .net 2.0 installed. Your 640H should be
running software version 02.01.77 or higher.

Album art management
Album art can be transferred to your 640H from compatible networked
sources (e.g PC or Mac). Album art can be found on various websites
and copied into your personal computer files as a JPEG/JPG/GIF/BMP
file.
To do this, simply drag and drop the album art into the appropriate
albums directory on the 640H from your PC/Mac. You can even use your
own images in place of downloaded ones, but name any you create as
"user.jpg" and put it in the directory as above.
When using iTunes, your album art must be stored in the individual
album’s track listing folder as a JPEG for successful transfer and
relationship with the music content. Simply cutting and pasting the
album art into the ‘Album Art’ location on the iTunes screen is not
sufficient for the AudioFile software to recognise this as album art.

Note: After adding album art to the 640H, a rescan by the 640H is
necessary to update its database.
PC/PDA control
6. When Dynamic DHCP addressing has been turned off, select the
ETHERNET menu item:
7. This brings up four text input boxes that you can change: IP address,
Subnet mask, Gateway and Name server. As with your computer
setup, the IP address should be 192.168.0.X where X is a number
between 1 and 254 that is unique to the 640H. The Subnet mask
should be set to 255.255.255.0. The Gateway and Name server
should be set to the IP address of the device controlling your internet
connection (i.e. router). If you are using a network with no internet
connection, the Gateway and Name server should be set to the IP
address of the network device you are connecting to (i.e. PC/Mac or
another 640H etc):
8. After you have entered the correct information, click APPLY to store
the settings. This may take a few seconds to take effect:
The process is now complete.
