Your O6HD comes with a wide range of connections to integrate into your home entertainment system and network: 1. AUDIO Connect the analog or digital outputs on your O6HD to the corresponding inputs on your receiver. If you have an amplifier with balanced inputs we recommend this connection as it provides the best possible audio performance. 2.
4. USB Connect a USB hard drive to backup and restore your music library (please see Section 8.3 for more info). 5. IR INPUT For connecting an external IR Receiver in case your O6HD is inside a cabinet. 6. POWER Connect the power cord to the O6HD power connector and to the power outlet on your wall. We highly recommend a UPS system to protect your O6HD from power surges and blackouts. Once everything is connected turn on the power switch and your O6HD will start up.
2.2 Navigation Basics 1 Touchscreen 2 Navigation Buttons 4 Player Buttons 5 Sleep/Wake Button 3 Select Button ACCESSING THE MENU Once the Startup Screen appears, tap on the touchscreen (1) or press the Sleep/Wake Button (5) to get to the main menu. We recommend using the Sleep/ Wake Button to put your O6HD to sleep (or wake it). Only switch off your O6HD with the Power Switch on the backside if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time (e.g. going on vacation).
TOUCHSCREEN OR BUTTONS? Navigate your O6HD with both the huge Touchscreen (1) and the buttons. The Navigation Buttons (2) allow you to move up/down and left/right in the menu. The Select Button (3) is a dynamic button and gives you access to different functions depending on where you are in the menu. The Player Buttons (4) allow you to start playback of your music and skip between tracks. Keep the play/pause button pressed for a few seconds to stop the music playback.
NAVIGATION CONCEPT The user interface on the touschscreen is split into three areas: two Menu Panels (6) and the Navigation Bar (7). The Left Menu Panel shows the main categories, the Right Menu Panel displays the items that can be found under each category. Select an item in the left panel to see what can be found in each category. Select an item in the right panel and the navigation will shift to the left to reveal the items that can be found in the selected category.
A white network logo indicates you have network connection and internet access. An orange network logo indicates you are connected to the network, but have no internet connection. For more information about connecting to your network please refer to Section 2.3. THE MAIN MENU Here is what you will find in each main category: MUSIC LIBRARY Access all the music that is stored on your O6HD. Browse by genre, album, artist, track or playlist.
2.3 Connecting to your Network To start the network setup wizard simply tap on the network logo in the lower right corner of the Navigation Bar or go to SETTINGS > NETWORK SETTINGS > NETWORK SETUP. Please follow these simple steps: 1. CHOOSE YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION Select wired or wireless and the setup mode (automatic or manual). We recommend using the automatic mode as it covers most of the network scenarios. 2.
In rare instances the network login can take several minutes and can happen after the network confirmation window appears (indicating first that the network connection has failed). What if the O6HD does not connect to the network? Here are a few things to consider: DISTANCE The Olive O6HD should not be more than 20 to 30 feet away from your router (wireless connection only). ANTENNA Make sure to connect both WiFi antennas and position them upright.
3 Importing Music 3.1 Ripping CDs To import CDs into your Olive HD Music Server please follow these simple steps: 1. SELECT THE AUDIO FORMAT Go to SETTINGS > CD SETTINGS > CD IMPORT QUALITY and select the quality of the encoding. We recommend FLAC as it preserves the original CD quality while reducing the storage requirement to about 50% of uncompressed music (WAV). Once you set the quality, it will apply to all CDs that you rip. 2.
Your Olive HD Music Server needs to be connected to the internet in order to get album artwork. If album artwork is not available, an Olive logo will appear as a placeholder. The Olive HD Music Server only supports regular Audio CDs. SA-CD and DVD Audio is not supported. 3. RIP THE CD Tap on the IMPORT button and the CD will be ripped. You can check the import status under SETTINGS > SYSTEM SERVICES > RUNNING SERVICES.
3.2 Importing Music from a PC or MAC WHAT YOU NEED 1. Please make sure the PC is connected to the same network as the O6HD.

7 Music Streaming 7.1 Network Music Player Olive offers its own network music player to allow streaming of music from the O6HD to additional rooms. Therefore, 3rd party network players are not actively supported. 7.2 Streaming from a PC/MAC/NAS to the O6HD The O6HD incorporates local storage to allow quick and reliable access to your music content. Therefore we recommend consolidating your music onto the O6HD’s hard drive, where it is safe from usual computer problems (malware/viruses etc.).
8 Support 8.1 Software Updates Olive constantly updates the software for your product so check regularly if a new update is available. Simply go to SETTINGS > SYSTEM SERVICES and select SOFTWARE UPDATE. If you do not have internet access at home you can also upload the software update via a USB stick. 8.2 Recovery A recovery erases the hard drive of your O6HD and installs the operating system and CD database from scratch.
8.4 Restore The restore process will erase all music on your O6HD and will overwrite it with the music from your backup. Go to SETTINGS > SYSTEM SERVICES and select RESTORE. Follow the on-screen instructions and connect the USB hard drive only when prompted. A pop-up window will confirm when the restore has started. Never unplug the USB hard drive during backup or restore. It can damage your O6HD and erase your music.
WHEN PLANNING NOT TO USE YOUR OLIVE for long periods of time (e.g. vacation, etc.) disconnect the Power Cable from the wall outlet. Always grab the plug, never the cable itself. NEVER PUSH OBJECTS of any kind through the product openings. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Contact Olive support if something drops into the case.
