BEFORE YOU START

Please ensure the following is ready: You have a broadband internet connection. A wireless broadband router is connected to the internet successfully. The radio supports Wireless B, G and N connection (Wireless N router can also be used with the setting on B or G). You know the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption code/password. You need to key in the correct code when the radio is connected to the wireless router for network connection. If you do not know the code/ password, please contact the person/technician who set up the router/network for you. The radio can work via Wireless network connection (Wi-Fi connection) and Wired connection (Ethernet Rj45).

GETTING STARTED

Remove internet radio from the package box. Plug in the power adapter and switch the Power on/off switch (on the rear cabinet) to ON. Press button on the front.
Caution: Use only the adaptor supplied with the radio. Connecting a power supply with a different rating will cause permanent damage to the radio and may be hazardous.

NETWORK SETUP

Internet connection can be setup via Wired LAN or Wireless LAN (WiFi). Your Radio requires a broadband Internet connection through wired Ethernet or WiFi. The easiest way is use a CAT 5 or CAT 6 cable to connect through wired Ethernet to a Wifi router, which connects to an Adsl modem or a cable modem provided by your ISP. WPS connection is available if your router has a WPS button. To configure the network via remote app, see Chapter 12 for more details [under Wi-Fi Network > Add AP (SmartConfig)].

WIRED LAN (ETHERNET)

For Wired Ethernet connection to a router with DHCP enabled, the network configuration for Internet connection is automatically done and the Radio can be used for Internet radio and UPnP sharing without user interaction. When the network is connected, the Ethernet icon will appear on the top left corner.

WIRELESS LAN (WI-FI)

If this is first time use, the Configure Network wizard will be displayed. Choose Yes to start configuring network. Press the [ ] button to highlight Yes and press [Tune/Select] to confirm.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

HELPFUL TIPS

  1. If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station: The Internet Radio is streaming the data from the radio station via your broadband connection, if there is a high error rate on your broadband connection, or the connection is intermittent, then it will cause the Internet Radio to pause until the connection is re-established and it has received enough data to start playing again. If your Internet Radio keeps stopping, please check the DSL modem to ensure that the Broadband line is not suffering a high error rate or disconnections. If you are experiencing these problems, you will need to contact your broadband supplier.

  2. What is Buffering? When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a small amount of the stream before it starts playing. This is used to fill in any gaps in the stream that may occur if the internet or the wireless network is busy. The Internet Radio streams music data from the PC while you are listening. If a stream gets blocked or experiences Internet congestion while transferring it may stop/interfere with the quality of play. If this happens, check your internet connection speed- it must be faster than the speed of the streams

  3. My radio is working but some stations cannot be played.
    The problem may be due to one or more of the followings:

    • The radio station is no longer broadcasting.
    • The radio station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.
    • The radio station has changed the stream arrangement and the link is no longer valid.
    • The radio station is not broadcasting at the time of the day (not all stations are broadcasting 24 hours throughout the day).
    • The Internet connection between your radio and the radio station server is too slow or unstable to support the data rate of the broadcast.
