App User Guide What is MiND ? MiND is the future of music playback. MiND transmits music from your digital music library and a variety of internet sources to multiple audio systems throughout your home. MiND allows you to organize the presentation of your music by virtually any means. MiND offers uncompromised sonic performance, convenience, ease-of-use and sophistication. MiND gives you uncomplicated and efficient access to large collections of music.
App User Guide Starting the MiND App: Before proceeding, you must have successfully followed the instructions outlined in the MiND Setup Guide, whereby all your components are properly connected and your MiND device(s) is successfully configured into your network. This “App User Gude” and the “MiND Setup Guide” are both available at: www.simaudio.com/MiND.htm Tap the “MOON HD” icon on your iPad (“MOON” on your iPhone) to launch the MiND app. Each MiND zone will appear in the left column.
App User Guide MiND App Screen Layout (cont’d) The ZONE column (left) is used to manage all zones that are part of your network. Each zone requires it own unique MiND hardware device and they can all operate independently of one another. The MiND app essentially manages the music you can play in multiple entertainment systems. To select a zone, simply tap on the zone you wish to control. For this example, we will be using the zone named “ING Lab”.
App User Guide MiND App Screen Layout (cont’d) To scroll though the entire list of available albums simply swipe your finger (up or down) over the BROWSER column. To select an album, tap on the album name and the BROWSER screen will change, showing you a list of all the tracks from the selected album. The album title, album artist, cover art and Genre will all appear at the top of the BROWSER column (figure 6). Now you can select the tracks that you want to listen to.
App User Guide Adding tracks from the BROWSER to the QUEUE (cont’d) For this example, the current track in the QUEUE is “Around The World” from the album “Californication” by the group “Red Hot Chili Peppers”. Using the BROWSER, we will select the track “Do It Again” from the album “Can’t Buy A Thrill” by “Steely Dan” (figure 10) and add it to the QUEUE using each of the five (5) options for adding tracks to the QUEUE.

App User Guide Playing tracks in the QUEUE: Once your QUEUE contains one or more tracks, you may begin playing these tracks by simply tapping on the X (play) button (Figure 16a). The first track in the QUEUE will begin playing. To temporarily stop playing this track, tap on the (pause) button (Figure 16b).
App User Guide Random and Repeat Play: The MiND app allows you to shuffle the contents of the QUEUE so the tracks will play in a random order, as opposed to the way they are listed. To activate the “shuffle” mode, simply tap on the icon located in the top left corner of the QUEUE column (Figure 18a). Once activated, the icon will change color from white to red. To exit “shuffle” mode, tap the icon again.
App User Guide Editing the QUEUE: The MiND app allows you to modify the contents of the QUEUE at any time. You can delete individual tracks, change the playing order of the tracks, or delete the entire contents of the QUEUE. You can even edit your QUEUE when a track is playing, paused or stopped. Our QUEUE contains four (4) tracks for this example (figure 20).
App User Guide Editing the QUEUE (cont’d) Once you have finished editing your QUEUE, tap on the “Queue” button on the bottom left corner again (figure 26). The same 2 buttons will appear above the “Queue” button: Tap on the “Done” (white) button to save the changes to your QUEUE (figure 27). Your QUEUE now has 3 tracks and their order is different than when we started (figure 20). Figure 26 Figure 27 Clearing the QUEUE: You also have the option to clear the QUEUE.

App User Guide Firmware updates for MiND hardware The 180 MiND can be updated directly from the network by following these steps: (1) Take note of your network settings in your MiND App (refer to the MiND Setup Guide procedure), since a firmware update will automatically reconfigure these settings back to their factory defaults. (2) Close down the MiND app. (3) Disconnect the DC power cable from the rear of the 180 MiND, but keep it connected to both your network (wired or wirelessly) and the internet.
