This month we are introducing the powerful and highly versatile ADA amps from LD Systems and cost-effective new Root series pro-lights from Cameo. There is also a new range of installation problem solvers from DACS install that are worth a closer look. Tech support covers some tips on our digital music/message scheduler and we highlight some amazing bargains from our popular clearance zone.

Best regards,

When setting up the AP420 music player from Waves System for use in the UK, you will probably want to set the player to follow NTP Network time protocol so it tracks exact time from the internet. 

The player needs to be connected to a network with web access.

1: Login to the player using its web address, and your user name and password

2: Go to the Main Settings tab on the left as shown in the screen below and then select the Date and Time tab

Set the Automatic date and times selector to ON

In the NTP server address, change the names of the servers to how it is shown in the screenshot below, i.e. 0.uk.pool.ntp.org

In the Time Zone tab, change the setting to GMT+00:00 Greenwich Mean – United Kingdom - London

Remember to press SAVE and the player should then within a few moments find network time.
