Welcome!
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing an Olive OPUS and/or MELODY. Your Olive units
will provide you with a whole new concept of high delity listening throughout your home in this
era of innovative technology. Relax and enjoy the ease of your new OPUS and MELODY – and
their beautiful sound!
• To ensure the best possible performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe
place for future reference.
• This manual applies for both OPUS and MELODY as they are part of an integrated Home
Audio Solution, though they also stand very well on their own. In many respects they are
similar in their operation, though of course the OPUS includes the storage and CD capabilit-
ies. Additional features or other differences are outlined in the text.
• Since the OPUS and MELODY software continues to be maintained and updated, the
version on your OPUS and MELODY may differ from the one that is referenced here in
screen messages or design. The most current version of this user manual can always be
found on the Olive website (www.olive.us).

1. Quick-start Guide
1.1 Adding Music to Your Home
With Olive’s Home Audio Solution we bring together the components you need to make the
most of your home network and HiFi system in an integrated solution. The key advantage is that
you simplify your music listening:
•
You have one place to keep and manage your music – in high quality.
•
You have your music right with your HiFi system for immediate listening, there’s no
computer to start rst.
•
The way you browse and play music looks the same on the OPUS as well as on the
MELODYs, no new interfaces to learn.
•
OPUS and MELODY are made to work together. Once you have made them part of your
home network and HiFi system, it is all about the music and relaxing.
Layout
Here is a view of what a typical home setup looks like, with an OPUS to store all your music in
the living room and as part of the HiFi system, and MELODYs around the home to extend your
music library wherever you are:

Floorplan Layout
Both OPUS and MELODY are intended for use with an existing stereo amplier and/or (active)
speakers, with all the usual analog and digital connections to easily hook them up to your exist-
ing equipment. If you are installing both OPUS and MELODY(s), it makes sense to start with the
OPUS.

How many streams?
We test with standard networking gear available at the usual retailers, and look for reliable
connection build-up and uninterrupted playback as key indicators. In our most recent test we
achieved the following:
•
Wired (Ethernet): 15 MELODYs playing the same album off one OPUS.
•
Wireless: 5 MELODYs playing the same album off one OPUS.
In both cases the OPUS was connected to the router per wired connection. Our benchmark test
involves using a high-denition music stream of 4608 kbit/s throughput, which is equivalent to
music sampled at 96 kHz and recorded with 24 bit depth, without any compression. This goes
way beyond normal bit streams of uncompressed CD quality of 1411 kbit/s, or losslessly (FLAC)
compressed music streams of between 400 to 900 kbit/s, and so depending on the music you
are streaming you will usually have a very safe margin of additional bandwidth.
1.2 OPUS
Step 1: Unpacking your OPUS
Your package includes the following items:
•
OPUS
•
Remote control (w/ batteries)
•
Wireless antenna
user manual |oPus |melodY 7
•
Power cable
• Software: Recovery CD, User manual
Step 2: Setting up your OPUS
Backpanel OPUS
• Place your OPUS close to your stereo system, in a cool, well-ventilated place.
•Attach the wireless antenna to the back of the OPUS.
• Connect it via its RCA (analog) or digital output to the input of your stereo system.
•Plug the power cable into your OPUS and into the power outlet.
• Turn on the OPUS and your stereo system.
Your OPUS takes about 40 seconds to perform an initial start-up. It should then stay on or be in
8
power save mode to be immediately available at any time you wish, with a sophisticated power
saving ensuring that it powers down components that are not needed. Please never unplug your
device while it is turned on or in sleep mode, it might damage your device. Please make sure to
turn off a connected amplier or speakers before disconnecting the audio-out of the OPUS.
Step 3: Navigating your OPUS
Your OPUS provides the following navigational controls:
OPUS Frontside
•
Once the OPUS is on, you’ll be using the 5 navigation keys to get around the menu
screens, and the play keys to control the actual playback like on any CD-player. Then
there’s the ON/OFF key, that’s about it.
