If the volume suddenly increases, DRC automatically lowers it.  If the volume suddenly becomes quieter, DRC automatically raises it. The same happens when playback is suddenly quiet. The radio then increases the volume again. DRC  high: total equalisation of different volumes. Strong compression can audibly reduce the dynamics of a music title.

• If your network is not found or the SSID (Service Set Identification, that is, the name of your network) is not shown, the network may be hidden or out of range. In this case, try manual configuration.

15.1.2 Wireless network connection (WLAN)
Depending on the network, there are a number of ways to connect to it.
Networks that support connection via WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) are identified in the list with the prefix “[WPS…]”.
Other connections are either open networks or connections protected with a PSK, or Pre-Shared-Key.

WPS / PSK / open network connection
WPS allows simple and nevertheless protected connection of the radio to the network. Two options are available for this purpose:
The connection can be set up by means of PBC, or Pushbuttons Configuration, or by the PIN procedure, in which the web interface of your router prompts you to enter a  randomly generated sequence of numbers.

WPS setup

• Select your desired network. (Indicated by the prefix “[WPS…]”)
• In the WPS menu, choose the “Push button” option and confirm your selection by pressing [NAVIGATE/ ENTER].
• Press the WPS button on your router or current access  point. This can often be done using the web interface, as well.
• Consult the operating instructions of your router or access point for details.
• Once the process has been started on the router or access point, the radio should be able to find and connect to the network.
• Alternatively, PBC setup can be initiated from the radio’s Internet settings:
• Press [ ] (4) to go to the system settings.
• Use [NAVIGATE/ENTER] (9) to navigate to the “Network & Audio” menu item.
• Confirm the selection by pressing [NAVIGATE/ENTER].
• Use [NAVIGATE/ENTER] (9) to navigate to the “Internet settings” menu item.
• Confirm the selection by pressing [NAVIGATE/ENTER].

PIN setup

• Select your desired network. (Indicated by the prefix “[WPS…]”)
• In the WPS menu, choose the PIN option and confirm your selection by pressing [NAVIGATE/ENTER].
• The radio generates an 8-digit code, which must be entered into the web or user interface of your router or access point.
• Consult the corresponding handbook for details on configuring the router or access point.

Skip WPS / Pre-Shared Key (PSK) configuration

• Choose the item “Skip WPS” to proceed to key entry.
• On networks that do not support WPS, you will go directly to key entry.
• In the input screen, enter the whole key and then confirm with the OK button.
• If the key was entered correctly, the radio connects to the access point and establishes the Internet/network connection.

Note

• Often the Pre-Shared Key is printed on the back of the router or access point.
• When entering the key, take notice of capitalization.

Open network / unsecured network
Note

• We recommend against establishing unsecured connections and advise you to always protect your network against unauthorised access.
• If you plan to use an open network, you just have to select the network from the list of available networks and confirm. The radio then connects immediately with the access point.

15.1.3 Manual configuration of network connection – wireless (WLAN)

Manual configuration wireless (WLAN) – DHCP disable
This method corresponds to configuration with an active DHCP server (manual configuration wireless (WLAN) – DHCP enabled), however you must also enter the network  information such as the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and DNS (primary and secondary).
Find this information in the web interface of your router or access point, or if this information is already correctly entered, you can confirm the entry. The radio now  attempts to establish the connection.

15.1.4 View settings
This is where you will find all of the key information about all network connections that the radio is currently using, or which have been set up, e.g.: MAC address, WLAN  region, DHCP enable / disable, SSID, IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, DNS (primary/secondary), etc.

• Press [ ] (4) to go to the system settings.
• Use [NAVIGATE/ENTER] (9) to navigate to the “Network & Audio” menu item.
