t opposite).

The Media Player allows you to play the following types of audio files: AAC, AU, MP3, RM, WAV, WMA and playlists (M3U) stored on a networked PC. It has been verified to work on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Set up your Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via Windows Shares

There are 2 ways of sharing audio files on your computer to be able to play them on your BT Internet radio. The first and simplest way, is using the ‘Windows Shares’ application on Windows XP or Windows 2000. This method of file sharing is best suited to compressed music files, for example .MP3 or .WMA.

This method of file sharing is not recommended if your music files are stored as large, uncompressed files, for example .WAV files. If this is how your music is stored, we recommend you follow the second method of file sharing and refer to the section ‘Set up a Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via a UPnP server’.

Internet Radio – New Style – Edition 5 – 21.09.06 – 7690

Ensure your PC is connected to the same access point/subnet as your Radio. Then make a note of your PC network name by right clicking on ‘My Computer’, clicking on ‘Properties’ going into ‘Computer Name’ (for Windows XP).

1. Using Windows Explorer, locate the folder where your audio files are stored.

2. Right click on the folder.

3. Select ‘Properties’.

4. When the ‘Properties’ window opens, click on the ‘Sharing’ tab.

5. Select ‘Share this folder on the network’ and ‘Allow network users to change my files’.

Internet Radio – New Style – Edition 5 – 21.09.06 – 7690

Set up a Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via a UPnP server

If your music is stored as large, uncompressed files, for example .WAV, we recommend you follow this method of file sharing.

If your PC is running ‘Microsoft Windows XP’, then you can use ‘Windows Media Connect’ to act as your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) MediaServer 1.0 compliant server. You can download ‘Windows Media Connect’ from Microsoft’s website and install it by following the instructions detailed in its installation wizard.

1. You will first need to configure Windows Media Connect to allow certain devices to connect to it. To do this, select ‘Settings’ from Windows Media Connect and tick the box ‘Automatically allow new devices’, as shown below.

Settings for Windows Media Connect

Using the Media Player

If your music is stored as smaller, compressed files, for example .MP3 or .WMA we recommend you follow the ‘Window Shares’ method of file sharing outlined in the section ‘Set up your Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via Windows Shares’.

Help

If you experience any problems when using your BT Internet Radio, first refer to the Help section below, if your question still remains unanswered you can look in the ‘Help’ section of the following website: http://www.reciva.com

I cannot connect the radio to the wireless network

• Make sure that your connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the

same network.

• Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the

radio.

• Check that your firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum the radio needs access

to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000 and 7070.

• Check your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You can view

the radio’s MAC address using the menu item Configure -> Network Config -> View Config -> MAC address. If the MAC address is not listed, you will need to add it. Refer to the manufacturer’s guide for your access point for instructions on how to add your BT Internet Radio to the list of allowed equipment.

• If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or pass phrase

into the radio. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive.

I can connect to the network successfully, but am unable to play particular stations.

• Not all stations broadcast 24 hours a day. The station may not be broadcasting at this time of the

day (remember it may be located in a different time zone).

• The station may have reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.

• The station may have stopped broadcasting.

• The link on the radio may be out of date.

Internet Radio – New Style – Edition 5 – 21.09.06 – 7690

Help

• The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is slow.

Try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcaster’s web site. If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at http://www.reciva.com/stations/add_station.asp to notify us so that we can change the station data that is used by the radio.

I cannot seem to share audio files for playback on the BT Internet radio.

• Check that the music files you want to share are one of the allowed type of audio: AAC, AIFF,

MP3, RM, WAV, WMA and playlists (M3U) stored on a networked PC.

• Check that the music files are not ‘protected’. (Refer to your PC/Windows XP instruction manual

or ‘Help’ section.)

• Check that the music files are stored in the correct location on your PC and ‘File Sharing’ is

switched on. (Refer to your PC/Windows XP instruction manual or ‘Help’ section.)

• Check that the music files can be shared on the network.

• If you are trying to share large, uncompressed files, for example. WAV files you must make sure

you follow the section ‘Set up your Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via a UPnP server’, on page 25.

If you are having trouble connecting to your Windows XP shared music folder, and you are using a username with no password, try adding a new username with a password to Windows (Control Panel – User Accounts) specifically for the radio, and try to connect using that.
