Network music playback

press the rotary dial to select your server – this will appear as
you have named it in the server setup (eg. Twonky Media,
Ben’s Music Library, etc).
The Minx Xi will now load the appropriate menus from the
selected server, allowing you to browse and play back music
from
that server by scrolling and then pressing the rotary dial.
You can also browse and play using the Stream Magic app or

Bluetooth
The Minx Xi is supplied with a BT100 Bluetooth adaptor. This allows
the Minx Xi to receive wireless Bluetooth audio from suitable
phones/tablets and laptops.
To send Bluetooth audio to the BT100 you must first pair your
phone/tablet or laptop with the BT100.
Connect the BT100 to the BT100 USB socket on the

double pressing the button on the BT100 itself (note it is on the
underside).
Now pair with your phone/tablet/computer (you may need to
consult your Bluetooth device’s user manual for details). You
only need to do this the once, as the BT100 will remember
your Bluetooth device the next time you
wish to use it.
With a BT100 installed, ‘Bluetooth’ will appear as a menu item
in the home menu. Use the rotary dial to select and play from
this input.
