The wRADIO and UPnP media servers

The wRADIO has a built-in UPnP client that enables you to stream music from a UPnP media server. If you are using an Eminent EM4070 LAN disk in your network, or if you have a computer that can be used as a UPnP media server, the wRADIO can find these media servers automatically, and play music and other audio files from them without the need of copying the music files.

What is a UPnP media server?

UPnP media servers are devices or computers that allow you to play (multi)media files over your network without further configuration. Your computer can be configured as a UPnP media server when you install special software, or you can use a separate UPnP media server device, like the Eminent EM4070 LAN disk. Most UPnP servers, on a computer or as a separate device, allow you to share one or more folders with a UPnP client.

You will therefore need a UPnP client, that receives the media streams that are sent out by the UPnP media server in your network. Client and server are able to detect each other without any further configuration of your network. The client can browse the content of the server, and play the files on the server over the network using streaming technology.

Using the wRADIO in combination with an Eminent EM4070 LAN disk

We will now explain shortly how you can use the UPnP client of your wRADIO to connect to the UPnP media server of the Eminent EM4070 Sharebox 3.5″ IDE & SATA. The EM4070 has a built-in media server, Twonky. The wRADIO will automatically detect the Twonky module of the EM4070. You can then easily play the music that is offered through the Twonky module of the EM4070.

1. Make sure that your EM4070 is configured according to the manual and that you have installed its Twonky module.

2. Turn on the wRADIO and wait until it is started up. You can then press the
   ‘HOME’ button on the remote control.

3. An extra option will be displayed automatically when a UPnP device is detected. In the case of the image below, the Twonky module of the EM4070 is detected.

4. Selected the name of your UPnP media server (e.g. TwonkyMusic) using the arrow keys, and press the right arrow key once to continue.

5. The screen ‘UPnP media server is displayed, which will look like this:

6. Browse to the right folder using the arrow keys on the remote control. Press the right arrow key once to open a folder.

7. You will now see the media files on the EM4070

8. Browse the list using the arrow keys.

9. Press the right arrow key once to play a file after you have selected it.

Using the wRADIO in combination with a UPnP media server on your computer

Your computer does not share media by default. You will have to install a UPnP media server on your computer to add this functionality. If you are using Windows XP or Windows Vista, you can use the built-in UPnP media service of Windows Media Player 11. If you enable this option, your wRADIO can access the music library on your computer. Follow the steps below to enable this option:

1. Click ‘Start’.

2. Click ‘Programs’.

3. Click ‘Windows Media Player ‘.

4. Click ‘Tools’, then ‘Options…’. These screens will be displayed:

5. Go to the ‘Library’ tab in the left upper corner of the options window.

6. Now click ‘Configure sharing…’.

7. Check the ‘Share my media’ checkbox:

8. Click ‘Ok’.
9. A list with detected devices will appear within a few seconds. Select ‘Internet radio’.
10. Click ‘Allow’:

11. All files in the media library of Windows Media Player will be shared with your wRADIO from now on. The media library will be accessible using the remote control and display of the wRADIO.
    Caution! The steps above require Windows Media Player 11, available for download at http://www.microsoft.com.
    Tip! Multiple programs that turn your computer into a UPnP media server are available for download on the Internet, like Tversity,(www.tversity.com) or Twonkymedia,
    (www.twonkyvision.de)

Using other connectivity options

The connections on the back side of the wRADIO enable you to connect a range of different devices. The most frequently used options will be discussed below.

Connect your wRADIO to a receiver
The wRADIO is designed with a line-out connection on the backside of the device. The line out connection is marked with the name ‘line out’. To connect the RADIO to your hifi set or receiver, you can use a mini jack to RCA plugs adaptor, available in all hifi shops. The mini-jack should be connected to the line-out connection on the backside of your wRADIO, while both RCA plugs should be connected to the ‘AUX’ or ‘Line-in’ connection of your receiver or hifi set. Select the ‘AUX’ or ‘Line in’ input on your receiver or hifi set to enjoy the music of your wRADIO.

Tip! The internal speaker of the RADIO is disabled if you use the ‘Line out’ connection. In that case, the remote control can be used to control the output volume of the RADIO.

Tip! In case no free ‘AUX’ or ‘Line in’ is available on your receiver, then use the ‘CD’ or ‘DVD’ connection. Please note that you cannot use the ‘Phono’ connection to connect the RADIO to your receiver.

Connect a portable MP3 player or iPod to your RADIO
All modern MP3 players, including the iPod, have a mini jack connection for a headset. This enables you to connect your MP3 player to your RADIO. You can use a mini jack to mini jack cable to do this by connecting the headset connection of your MP3 player to the ‘Line-In’ input of your RADIO. Now your friends and colleagues can also enjoy your music!

Tip! If you use the RADIO near your computer, you can also connect your computer to the ‘Line in’ connection of the RADIO. This saves you the room of separate PC speakers.

Connect USB devices to your wRADIO
The wRADIO has a USB connection that enables you to play music on an external USB storage device, like a USB stick or external hard disk.

1. Connect the USB plug of your USB storage device to the USB port on the backside of the wRADIO.
2. Press the ‘home’ button on the remote control.
3. Use the remote control to browse to the ‘USB’ option that has appeared in the main menu of the wRADIO.

Q/A

• Q: I want to connect wirelessly, but my router cannot be found.

  • A 1: Make sure that your router is turned on. If that offers no solution you should try a different channel for your wireless connection. More information about the channel of your wireless network can be found in the manual of your router.
  • A 2: You might be outside the range of your wireless network. Place the wRADIO closer to your router to receive a better signal.
  • A 3: Your wireless network might be configured as a ‘Hidden SSID’. Disable this option, and configure the wireless connection of your wRADIO manually. You can thereafter enable ‘Hidden SSID’ again if you want to.

• Q: When I try to connect to my wireless network, the wRADIO asks for the network key. Where can I find this key?
  A: You have once configured the network key (WPA or WPA2) in your router. You might have written down this key. If not, you can connect to your router using a wired connection to find the key using the manual of your router.

• Q: My radio connection drops now and then. What is the cause?

  • A 1: A good working Internet connection is required for a radio stream. The quality of the radio stream therefore also depends on the quality of the Internet connection of the radio station. If the radio station uses an Internet connection of low quality, the connection with the station may drop now and then.
  • A 2: The server of the radio station that you are listening to may be overloaded. This may happen to popular radio stations.
  • A 3: Your Internet connection may be occupied by another computer or Internet device. If someone downloads files using torrents or newsgroups, little bandwidth remains for others. You should limit the bandwidth of your downloading software. This can be configured in the software itself. You should reserve about 20 kilobytes/second for a proper radio stream.
  • A4: Your Internet connection may be failing temporarily. Check your connection to be sure that it is working.

• Q: Does www.myradio123.com offer an up-to-date list of stations?
  A: The list of stations is up to date indeed. The website is based on a database of stations that is continuously updated. New stations will immediately be added and discontinued stations will be removed. Over 3200 stations are currently available.

• Q: I usewww.myradio123.com to add favorites. How long does it last until the stations are added to the list in my wRADIO?
  A: If your Internet connection is working properly, the favorites you add online will be added to your wRADIO almost immediately.
