Figure 8 : Internet software upgrade process


Page 12

4.5 Changing modes

When you turn on the radio again, the radio will automatically run the last listened programme. To select another mode:

1. Press the ‘’MENU’’ key to display the mode menu of the mode you are in.

2. Rotate the ‘’TUNING’’ key to scroll to ‘’Main menu’’ and press the ‘’TUNING’’ to go back to the main menu.

3. In the main menu, select the different mode you wish.

Alternatively, press the ‘’MODE’’ key on the radio to select the different modes.

5. ‘’AUX’’ Mode

The radio’s rear panel contains a 3.5mm stereo input jack (‘’AUX IN’’) for connecting MP3 players, CD players, or just about any device with line level or headphone output.

From the main menu, rotate the ‘’TUNING’’ key to scroll to ‘’Aux’’ and press the ‘’TUNING’’ for the selection. Or press the ‘’MODE’’ key until ‘’Aux mode’’ is displayed on the radio’s display.

Connect your radio (‘’Aux-in’’) with your audio device (‘’Audio out’’), and using the included 3.5mm stereo cable, hit ‘’Play’’ on your audio device and adjust the volume accordingly.

6. ‘’Music Player’’ Mode

There are two Music Player modes available. Each of them requires different settings, and either one can be used to playback music from a media server.

6.1 Shared folders (CIFS) In order to set up the device to playback music stored on shared network drives, user name, password and domain settings must be configured to work with the PC share settings. This is only required if the user has set a password on his/her shared folders.

6.1.1 PC : Domain/Workgroup configuration

The Domain configuration item can be found on a Windows XP machine as follows:

1. From the ‘’Start’’ menu, select ‘’Control Panel’’ > ‘’System’’ then select the “Computer Name Tab”.

2. The Domain or Workgroup that this Computer is a member of is displayed in this tab.

3. If the PC is not a member of any Domain or Workgroup, then one must be joined. To do this click on the ‘’Change’’ button on the computer name tab and enter the name of the domain (default on Windows XP is ‘’MSHOME’’).

4. A reboot of the PC may be prompted if the Domain or Workgroup has been changed.


Page 13

6.1.2 PC : Setting up a new user account (Windows XP)

The radio may require you to setup a user account on each PC that you wish to browse. By default most PCs have at least one user account associated with it. The user name and password (optional) needs to be the same on each PC as the Internet radio only stores one user name and one password. For windows XP this can be set up as follows:

1. From the ‘’Start’’ menu, select ‘’Control Panel’’ -> ‘’User accounts’’

2. From this screen left click ‘‘Add …’’, and enter the new user name and the Domain/Workgroup setting noted above. Select the type of user (restricted) and then select ‘’Finish’’.

3. Select the user just created, and select ‘‘Reset Password …’’ and enter a password for this user.

4. Note the User Name and Password.

Note for Windows VISTA : Users have to turn on the ‘’Guest account’’ via ‘’Manage user accounts’’ in the ‘’Control Panel’’ in VISTA, then add access to either ‘’Everyone’’ or ‘‘Guest’’ on the shared drive. They could create a new account for the internet radio, with a password, if they are concerned about security. The Guest account has no password by default, so the WiFi radio will connect to it from its factory default settings.

6.1.3 PC: Configuring a shared drive

From the ‘’Start’’ menu select ‘’My Computer’’ and navigate to the directory you wish to share. Right click on the directory and select ‘’Sharing and Security’’. Configure the shared drive as read only, and ensure that the User Name created above has read access to the share.

6.1.4 WiFi Radio : Storing the username and password

Before the radio can stream music from a PC, you need to ensure you have shared folder available on the PC, and set up the radio so that it knows the username and password (if one has been set) for the shared folder on the PC. This can be set up using the ‘’PC Settings’’ menu (‘’System Settings’’ > ‘’Internet setup’’ > ‘’PC settings’’). (Figure 9)

Figure 9 : Navigating to the PC Settings menu


Page 14

6.2 Shared media (UPnP)

Media sharing uses Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 and above as the media server. This mode does not require any settings changes on the radio, but the PC needs to be configured to allow the radio access to the media. You will only have to do this once, following the below steps.

(WMP 11 : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx )

1. The PC must be connected to wireless network that will be used to share media with the radio.

2. Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network as the PC.

3. In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with your internet radio (in ‘’Library’’ -> ‘’Add to Library’’).

4. In the WMP main window, click on ‘’Library’’, then ‘’Media Sharing’’.

5. Tick the ‘’Share my media to’’ box, then click ‘’Settings’’.


Page 15

6. Choose what you wish to share, then click ‘’OK’’.

7. The Internet radio is presented as an ‘’Unknown Device’’. Make sure that the device has access to the shared media by selecting it and clicking ‘’Allow’’. Then click ‘’OK’’.

8. The PC is now ready to stream music to the Wi-Fi Radio.

6.3 Operating the Music Player

From the main menu, rotate the ‘’TUNING’’ key to scroll to ‘’Music Player’’ and press the ‘’TUNING’’ for the selection. Or press the ‘’MODE’’ key until ‘’Music Player Mode’’ is displayed on the radio’s display. Choose the option ‘’Shared Media’’ or ‘’Shared Folders’’ depending on your configuration (Figure 9).
