Re: Internet solution for connecting Disklavier Mark IV

2008-10-25 by qv308

I am a Mac OSX user.  I just plugged in my Airport Express (which I use
to extend the range of my WIFI network from another unit that acts as a
base and connects directly to the DSL modem) into an available power
outlet on the power supply of the Disklavier and then ran an LAN cable
(which I got from Radio Shack) directly into the I/O LAN port on the
computer.  No problems whatsoever.  Worked right away.  The disklavier
shows up as an extra computer or server on your network.

Then it was a simple matter to log into the yamaha disklavier radio
website, register there, and about 5 minutes later I was downloading
music.

I do wish, however, that we had alternative "radio" internet sources for
the disklavier -- sort of like podcasts -- so we could hear a wider
range of music.
