Setup Guide
Purpose
The primary purpose of this document is to provide a single hardware setup, installation
and operational trouble shooting guide for the CasaTunes software v2.5+. In addition,
this guide lists the operating systems supported and the operating and application
software components required. Appendix A contains a list of hardware devices
supported.
Background
The CasaTunes software consists of several components, including:
1. CasaTunes Media Server – This component is used to play back music, to control
supported source equipment (tuners), and to control the supported multi-room
audio equipment. This component runs as a Windows service.
2. CasaTunes Web Service – This component renders the user interface. The web
based User Interface is implemented as an ASP.Net 2.0 application with
Microsoft AJAX and runs on Microsoft Internet Information Services.
3. CasaTunes Diagnostics – This component provides a single control point where
installers and CasaTools Technical Support personnel can view the current
CasaTunes software configuration, as well as view all CasaTunes events recorded
in the Windows Application Event log. This tool is used to diagnose customer
issues.
4. CasaTunes Setup application – In version 2.5+, the setup application is no longer
part of the web based User Interface. This was done based on feedback from
installers who did not want their customers to be able to easily modify the setup.
5. CasaTunes Radio Manager – Introduced in v2.5+, this application is used to
configure Internet radio, local AM/FM, XM and Sirius radio stations (and in the
future HD radio stations). The Radio Manager stores users’ radio stations in a
local database, which is updated both locally and from a central master database
on the CasaTools web site managed by CasaTools. As new Internet radio stations
are added, or existing ones are no longer available, and as changes to XM and
Sirius programming occur, CasaTools will update the master radio station
database. The CasaTunes software checks the central database for these station
additions, modifications, and deletions on a daily basis, and updates the local
database with these changes. In addition to the centralized management of
stations, installers and customers can use the Radio Manager application to
manage their own stations; these typically would be their local AM/FM stations.
6. CasaTunesSync for iTunes – In version 2.5+, CasaTools introduced a new
solution for synchronizing iTunes music with CasaTunes. The CasaTunesSync
for iTunes application is installed on each desktop or laptop which contains the
iTunes music you want to synchronize with the CasaTunes Media Server. You
can select whether to copy the iTunes music to the CasaTunes Media Server
(recommended), or the CasaTunes Media Server can access the iTunes music
remotely through a network share. In either case, every time the user changes

CasaTunes™ Software trouble shooting guide
their local copy of the iTunes database, the CasaTunesSync for iTunes application
will automatically re-synchronize the contents with the CasaTunes Media Server.
7. CasaTunes Gadget [in Beta] – Provides a CasaTunes Gadget application for
Windows Sideshow. This enables CasaTunes to be controlled via Sideshow
enabled devices. The CasaTunes Gadget is currently in Beta.
8. CasaTunes Media Center application – Allows CasaTunes to be controlled from
within Microsoft Media Center. The CasaTunes application is registered under
the Music and Other Programs media center menus. This installation option is
only available if CasaTunes is being installed on a machine with Microsoft Media
Center installed.
All CasaTunes components require Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 to be installed. The
web service requires Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) and the Microsoft
AJAX 1.0 for ASP.Net 2.0 to be installed. In v2.5+, IIS is automatically installed and
configured on Vista (only), and MS AJAX is automatically installed on both Windows
XP and Vista. The CasaTunes Gadget requires the Microsoft Sideshow components be
installed.
CasaTunesSync for iTunes requires iTunes 7+ on each desktop/laptop that will be
synchronized with the CasaTunes Media Server.
CasaTunesSync for iTunes only supports Windows in the initial release (i.e. there is
no Macintosh support). In addition, play back of iTunes protected music is not supported
in the current release. You may opt to convert iTunes protected music using a 3rd party
tool that abides by the Fair Play requirements, such as TuneBite.
Operating System Support
CasaTunes currently supports the following operating systems;
Windows XP Professional
Windows Media Center Edition
Windows Vista Home Premium
Windows Vista Business
Windows Vista Ultimate
Windows Server 20031
Windows Home Server2
Only 32 bit versions of these operating systems are currently supported.
On Windows XP and Media Center Edition you must pre-install the Microsoft .Net
Framework 2.0 before installing the CasaTunes Software. The required framework is
pre-installed on Windows Vista.
CasaTunes currently uses the Windows Media Player media database to determine the
music and playlists available on a CasaTunes Media Server machine. We recommend

CasaTunes™ Software trouble shooting guide
installing the latest Windows Media Player, currently WMP 11. For Windows Server
2003 and Windows Home Server, we recommend WMP 10 (which comes pre-installed)
Hardware Setup
A CasaTunes installation typically consists of the CasaTunes software installed on a PC
or Microsoft Windows Media Center PC (referred to as the CasaTunes Media Server),
with one or more sound cards, and one or more serial ports.
Multi-Room Audio Controller Setup
With the exception of the CasaTunes XL hardware, all supported multi-room audio
controllers are controlled through a serial (RS-232) interface. You can either use built-in
PC Serial Ports, USB-to-Serial Ports, networked Serial Ports, serial servers on Barix
Exstreamer devices, or a combination of these (if more than one is needed).
Empirically, we have found the built-in PC Serial Port to be the most compatible (and
most reliable). We have found compatibility issues with some generic USB-to-Serial
adapters. It is very important to check whether these adapters are Vista compatible when
using these devices with Vista.
With the exception of using the serial server on the Barix Exstreamer, the CasaTunes
software will automatically configure the serial port settings for the selected Multi-Room
Audio controller.
The Barix Exstreamer 100 is a networked MP3 player with a built in serial server, so it
can actually serve two different functions, control and music play back. There are,
however, a couple of disadvantages when using these devices;
1. CasaTunes can only play back MP3 songs using these devices (no WMA, M4A,
MP4 songs are currently supported) and you cannot currently stream internet
music using these devices.
2. These devices support a single stereo stream, so you will need an additional Barix
Exstreamer 100 device for each source.
3. You will need to manually configure the Serial Server settings using the built-in
Barix Configuration web based UI. The serial server settings information is
included in the Appendix A – Supported Devices table below.
Connecting the Multi-Room Audio controller to the CasaTunes Media Server PC is a
straightforward exercise. Simply connect the 9 pin M/F cable from the PC to the serial
port on the controller. There are a couple of exceptions:
1. Russound CAV 6.6 – There are two serial port connections available on this
device, one on the back and one under the plastic cover in the front. Either can
be used, but only one serial port is active at a time, depending on the Front/Back
switch located under the plastic cover on the front. Make sure this switch is set
correctly for the port you are using
2. Nuvo Grand Concerto and Essentia EG6 and a Nuvo Net Adapter – When using
a Nuvo Net Adapter (NV-NNA) with the Grand Concerto or Essentia EG6, the
Copyright © CasaTools, LLC 2006-2009
6
CasaTunes™ Software trouble shooting guide
PC serial port is connected to the Adapter, and the Adapter is connected to
controller (see below for more information).
3. The Nuvo Simplese uses a 3.5mm connector for its serial connector and therefore
requires a different cable.
Additional Hardware Setup
CasaTunes includes support for 3rd party source devices, in particular tuners (refer to the
Supported Devices table in Appendix A).
Russound dual tuners, including AM/FM, XM and Sirius tuners are controlled via the
RNET Bus, a Russound proprietary command and control bus, and do not require a
separate serial port to control these devices. These devices are controlled through the
existing serial interface on the multi-room audio controller (CAM, CAV, CAA, etc…).
CasaTunes does not support managing Russound tuners through a direct serial
connection.
The Nuvo dual tuners, including AM/FM, XM and Sirius tuners do require a separate
serial port connection to control these devices.
The NuvoNet Adapter (NV-NNA) is a highly recommended option when using
CasaTunes to control a Nuvo Grand Concerto or the Nuvo Essentia E6G (new Essentia)
multi-room audio controllers. This adapter allows CasaTunes to behave as if it were a
NuvoNet source, providing seamless integration with the Nuvo keypads.
To connect the NuvoNet Adapter, connect the serial port on the PC to the Controller port
on the NV-NNA, and connect the uvo RS-232 port of the Nuvo adapter to the RS-232
port on the Grand Concerto or Essentia. You must also connect the NuvoNet port on the
Nuvo adapter to the NuvoNet EZ Port multi-port connection block.
iPod Setup
In v2.5+, setting up CasaTunes to use an iPod is straightforward. Simply dock the iPod
using the Apple supplied USB docking station on the CasaTunes Media Server, and the
CasaTunes software will automatically detect the presence of the docked iPod device,
and update the CasaTunes User Interface to allow the user to select and play back music
from the connected iPod device.
CasaTunes supports all the latest iPods, including the iTouch and iPhone. If cover art is
available, CasaTunes will display it.
When you want to disconnect or undock the iPod from the CasaTunes Media Server, we
recommend you use the iPod Eject button on the CasaTunes web user interface.
CasaTunes does not currently support play back of iTunes protected music on your
iPod. To work around this issue you may opt to convert your iPod protected music using
a 3rd party utility that abides by the Fair Play requirements, such as TuneBite.

CasaTunes™ Software trouble shooting guide
Sound Card Setup
Each CasaTunes Player source can be used to play Windows, iPod, iTunes and/or
internet streams. iTunes and internet radio support is new in v2.5+. Support for
playback of iPod or iTunes protected music is not currently supported. However, it is
possible to convert iTunes protected music to non-copy protected music using several 3rd
party tools, most notably TuneBite. In addition, many online music sites, including
iTunes (Pro), are now offering more non-copy protected music.
In v2.5+ we have added the capability to split an existing multiple channel sound card,
such as a 5.1 or 7.1 channel sound card, and configure it as 3 or 4 stereo CasaTunes
Player sources, respectively.
Configuring a 5.1 or 7.1 multiple channel sound card as a multiple stereo output card
requires careful configuration as follows:
1. On Vista, you must configure the speaker configuration for the sound card in the
Sound Control panel to have a 5.1 or 7.1 speaker configurations. Typically, and
unless all jacks are being used, Vista will configure the sound card for stereo
speakers. Open the Sound control panel applet, select the Playback tab, select
Speakers for the sound card you are using, click on Configure and in the Speaker
Setup window select 5.1 or 7.1 depending on the capabilities of your card.
2. You must be careful to use the correct stereo output jack to match the correct
CasaTunes Player source. Connect the stereo output jacks in the following order:
1. Lime green jack color – Front/Left Speakers
2. Black jack color – Surround Side Speakers
3. Orange jack color – Center & LFE Speakers
4. Grey jack color – Rear Speakers (for 7.1 multiple channel stereo
cards only)
3. It is possible for Vista to automatically reconfigure the jacks based on smart autojack sensing. To avoid this make sure you always connect the jacks in the order
shown above. For example, do not plug a connector into the Lime Green and
Orange jacks, skipping the Black jack.
4. On Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Home Server it is possible
that the driver will erroneously report the sound card only supports stereo
speakers when in fact it is a 5.1 or 7.1 multi-channel card. In this case, you will
need to change the configuration setting called OverrideSpeaker in the
CasaTunesSvc.exe.config file and set its value to true. Refer to the section “How
to make Configuration File changes”.
To configure the CasaTunes Player sources, you must run the Setup CasaTunes
application
1. Select the Sources tab in the CasaTunes setup application to configure a
CasaTunes Player source for your multi-room audio controller.
2. In the Sources tab select CasaTunes Player as your source type, select the
sound card you want to use, and select the speaker pair you want to use for
this source. You must repeat these steps for each source.

CasaTunes™ Software trouble shooting guide
We recommend that you select a specific sound card driver, as opposed to using the
default or default DirectSound driver. If you select the default sound driver, this default
selection could be changed to a different sound card and you will no longer be able to
hear your CasaTunes music without re-running the setup application.
On Windows XP, MCE, Windows Home Server and Windows Server 2003 we
recommend you select the DirectSound driver for the sound card; however on Vista,
because the DirectSound capability is actually implemented by a thin operating system
layer on top of the native drivers, we recommend you use the native sound drivers.
DirectSound drivers typically begin with “DirectSound”.
On Vista, we strongly recommend the sound card supports the HD Audio Definition
standard.
The current version of the CasaTunes Software only supports stereo music play back.
When accessing your CasaTunes Media Server using Microsoft Remote Desktop
services, make sure you do leave the computer sound on the CasaTunes Media Server, or
you may inadvertently reconfigure the sound card configuration on the CasaTunes Media
Server machine and CasaTunes will stop functioning properly.
To leave the sound at the remote computer, click on the Local Resources tab when
configuring a Remote Desktop Connection, and for the Remote computer sound option,
select Leave at remote computer.
Software Installation Guide
Trouble Shooting Guide
Installation issues
When upgrading or re-installing the CasaTunes software do not manually uninstall the
previous version. The CasaTunes installation application will automatically uninstall the
previous version, and preserve all your previous installation settings.
When you download and run the CasaTunes installation application from the CasaTunes
web site (or CD), the install application will automatically download the latest CasaTunes
applications and components from the CasaTools web site to install.
On Windows Vista machines, the installation application will automatically install
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) if it has not been previously installed, or reconfigure IIS to include the required components, if the IIS installation is missing the
required CasaTunes components. Installing IIS can be a lengthy process and take several
minutes. After CasaTunes is installed, you will not need to re-install IIS again (or at least
not for CasaTunes).
Copyright © CasaTools, LLC 2006-2009

CasaTunes™ Software trouble shooting guide
On Windows XP, the user must manually install the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 and
IIS (if not already present). Since, there are no settings to configure on Windows XP,
this is a straightforward process. Simply follow the setup procedures described on the
CasaTools web site (http://www.casatools.com/setup.aspx).
After installing the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 and IIS, you should proceed to
repair the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0. This will eliminate potential installation issues
from arising later. To repair the framework, open the Add/Remove Program control
panel applet, double click on the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0, select Repair, and
follow the instructions.
During the installation, when prompted for the account information to use for the
CasaTunes software, the user should provide the same account information (username
and password) as they would normally use to log on to the CasaTunes Media Server
machine. Since Windows Media Player operates on a per user basis, if the installer uses a
different account, the user will not be able to view their Windows Media Player music.
After completing the installation, it is very important to verify the results of the
installation in the CasaTunes Installation Summary screen and ensure the CasaTunes
installation was completed successfully. If the installation failed, click on the View Log
File for more information on why the installation failed.
The most common installation failure is caused by an incorrect installation of the
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) component. The most common cause of
this failure on Windows XP is due to the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 needing to be
repaired.
Troubleshooting CasaTunes
After you have setup the hardware, installed and setup CasaTunes you may still
encounter difficulties. This section is designed to help you diagnose and troubleshoot the
most common issues with the CasaTunes Software.
1. Cannot display the CasaTunes User Interface (UI)
a. Check whether you can view the CasaTunes UI locally on the CasaTunes
Media Server machine. View it locally by simply double clicking on the
CasaTunes icon on the desktop (or type http://localhost/casatunes in the
browser address box). If you can view it on the local machine, but not
from a remote machine, then you most likely have:
i. A firewall issue that is preventing the UI from being accessed
remotely.
ii. A DNS name resolution issue (where the name of the CasaTunes
Media Server is not being correctly resolved to an IP address).
iii. If it is a DNS name resolution related issue, you can work around
this issue by specifying the IP addresses of your CasaTunes Media
Server machine in the specified URL. If you are going to use this
approach make sure you allocate a static IP address for your
Copyright © CasaTools, LLC 2006-2009
10
CasaTunes™ Software trouble shooting guide
CasaTunes Media Server machine.
To view the CasaTunes UI using a static IP address, for example
192.168.0.20, enter http://192.168.0.20/CasaTunes in the browser
address box.
b. Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) was not installed correctly.
Try viewing the default page for IIS by entering http://localhost in the
browser address box. If it does not display a page correctly, then the IIS
installation was unsuccessful. Re-install IIS and CasaTunes.
When viewing the CasaTunes UI using devices such as the iPhone, iTouch or Nokia
internet tablet, that do not support Windows networking and machine name resolution,
you will need to specify the IP address of the CasaTunes Media Server machine. If using
these devices with CasaTunes you should allocate a Static IP address for the CasaTunes
Media Server machine.
2. The CasaTunes User Interface displays “Server not started” message
a. The CasaTunes Media Server is stopped. This should not happen during
normal operation. The typically causes for service failures, are;
i. You manually stopped the service. If this is the case, re-start the
service, and make sure the CasaTunes Media Server service is
configured to restart automatically (on power up). You can
configure services using the Services control panel applet.
ii. If you are using a serial port adapter that is not supported by
CasaTunes. To solve this problem you will need to use a different
serial adapter.
iii. If the application encountered an unexpected error. Contact
CasaTools Technical Support with the details.
To self diagnose the problem, you should run the CasaTunes
Diagnostics application, click on the Events tab, and look for Event
Errors (and their descriptions) starting with the last error listed.
3. Cannot turn a room on or off, or change settings for a room
a. This error is caused when CasaTunes cannot communicate with the multiroom audio controller. The most likely cause is a serial port
communication failure.
i. In the CasaTunes Setup application make sure the Serial Port
setting in the Controller tab matches the serial port you are using.
You may need to verify the COM Port number in the Device
Manager
ii. If you are using a USB-to-Serial adapter or a networked serial port,
run the CasaTunes Diagnostics application, click on the Events tab,
and check for an error related to communications failures. Here
are some typical causes of communication failures:
1. With USB-to-Serial devices it is not uncommon to see the
COM Port change when USB devices are un-plugged or
Copyright © CasaTools, LLC 2006-2009
11
CasaTunes™ Software trouble shooting guide
new devices are attached to the USB bus, and the computer
restarted.
2. With networked serial ports it is not uncommon to see the
device was reset and communication between the serial
driver in the CasaTunes Media Server machine and the
networked serial port device will need to be reset
(sometimes requiring a system reset).
3. In some instances, stopping the CasaTunes Media Server
service and re-starting the service may reset the serial port
and clear the issue.
iii. If you are using the Serial Server on a Barix Exstreamer device,
make sure the Serial Server configuration settings have been setup
to match the serial settings required for the multi-room audio
system. If the Barix Exstreamer device has been reset you may
need to stop and re-start the CasaTunes Media Server service.
4. Cannot hear any music playing
a. If you try to play any non-DRM protected music, and the song looks like it
plays for a few seconds and then moves on to the next song, until all songs
fail to play, then;
i. The most likely cause is an incorrect sound card setup
1. Run the CasaTunes Setup and in the Sources tab for each
CasaTunes Player source, check the driver and speaker
settings (refer to Sound Card Setup).
2. If you are using a single pair of speakers with the sound
card, or you are using an advanced multiple stereo output
speaker sound card, like the M-Audio Delta series cards
then set the speaker configuration to Default Speaker
Configuration in the CasaTunes Setup Sources tab.
3. If your configuration looks correct, and you are using
Windows Vista, make sure the speaker configuration for
the sound card you are using is configured for 5.1 or 7.1
speakers (in the Sound Control Panel).
4. If your configuration looks correct, and you are using
Windows XP, the sound card driver may not be reporting
the correct number of speakers the card supports. In this
case you will need to stop the CasaTunes Media Server
service, change the OverrideSpeakers setting to true in the
CasaTunesSvc.exe.config file in the “C:\Program
Files\CasaTools\CasaTunes2’ folder, and re-start the
service.
After making changes to the configuration, it is good practice to stop and re-start the
CasaTunes Media Server service.
b. If your music is located on a network drive, make sure the drive is
accessible using Windows Media Player on the CasaTunes Media Server
Copyright © CasaTools, LLC 2006-2009
12
CasaTunes™ Software trouble shooting guide
machine. If not, make sure the permissions and access rights of the
network share are configured correctly.
c. If you cannot play Windows DRM protected music
i. CasaTunes supports play back of Microsoft DRM protected music.
However, CasaTunes cannot play back music if the DRM keys are
not available on the CasaTunes Media Server machine. If you are
unable to play back DRM protected music, you should:
1. Check whether you can play the files using Windows
Media Player. If you can, please contact CasaTools
Technical Support.
If you cannot play the DRM protected music in Windows
Media Player you will need to restore your media rights
licenses and re-authorize your CasaTunes Media Server
machine to play your DRM protected music by visiting the
online music provider for the requested music.
2. Check whether you have access to the internet. Some
DRM protected music is leased and the DRM licenses are
checked on a periodic basis, thus requiring internet access.
CasaTunes will automatically attempt to renew these
licenses as needed.
How to make Configuration File changes
The settings for the CasaTunes Media Server service are contained in a file called
CasaTunesSvc.exe.config. This file is typically located in the C:\Program
Files\CasaTools\CasaTunes2 folder.
On Vista, this file is located in a system protected folder. In order to make changes to
this file you will need to run Notepad in Administrative mode. To run Notepad in
administrative mode, click on the Windows Start button, select “All Programs”, click on
Accessories, right click on Notepad, and select “Run as administrator”.
