Whole

-

Home Sys

tem

Squeezebox

Radio

is just one member of a grow

ing family of Squeezebox Wi

-

fi music players

. These products can be

divided into three categories:

1.

All-in-one players

feature built

-

in amplifiers and speakers, so you can place them anywhere within range of

your

network without having to worry about connecting them to an audio system. Squeezebox

Boom

was

our first

all-in-one network music player, with Squeezebox Radio the second product in this line.

2.

Players

including the Squeezebox

Duet

, Squeezebox Classic,

Squeezebox Touch,

and Squeezebox Transporter,

connect to

an audio syst

em. With these players, you can add

network music to a home stereo system.

3.

Controllers

operate any player on your network. For example, Squeezebox Controller features a color screen

that

’s great for displaying album art. Squeezebox Controller connects wirelessly to your network, rather than using

infrared, so you can control your Squeezebox Radio from anywhere in your house.

You can have any

combination

of

players from the Squeezebox fam

ily

in your home. Y

ou can fill your house with

Squeezebox Booms

, or have a

Squeezebox Radio

in the living room and a

Squeezebox Boom

in the bedroom,

and more.

Each player

operates

independently of the others, so you can have different music playing in y

our garage, kitchen, bed

room, and living room.

And, ea

ch player on your network can play a different music source.

Or,

you can synchronize them

so that they play the same

music

in every room of your house.

You only need one instance of Squeezebox Server

to play your personal music collection on multiple Squeezeboxes.

Even a low

My network is not listed

Squeezebox

Radio

is designed to find

all wireles

s networks in range and display

them by their network name (also known

as their SSID)

. If you cannot select your network during setup

because it isn’t listed under the

Choose Network

menu on

your Squeezebox, try the following

:Make sure

that

Squeezebox Radio is

within range

of your wireless network

and free from potential sources of

interference

, such as cordless phones

.

As a test, move the Squeezebox closer to your router, reset the

Squeezebox and try connecting again.



If y

ou suspect that other

wireless

networks are preventing

your Squeezebox

from reliably connecting to your

network, try changing the channel your wireless router

is operating on

. For assistance with this and other router

configuration options, see your router

’s docume

ntation or contact your router

manufacturer or ISP

for support.



Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, plug it back

in. Wait a few minutes and see if your network name now

appears in the list.



If your network name still does not appear, your router

might be configured to not broadcast its SSID. In this case,

enter your network name manually:

a.

Select the

I don’t see my Network

option at the bottom of the list of networks.

b.On the next screen select

Ne

twork password

was

not accepted

If your wireless network password was not accepted

:Try entering your password

again. There could be a typo.



If your network password is not accepted, it could

be in ASCII format. (This only applies to WEP passwords that

are either 5 or 13 characters in length.)

If your password is in ASCII format, convert it to hexadecimal. Search for

an ASCII

-to-

hex converter online, or use the converter

at

http://slimdevices.c

om/asciitohex.php.

Squeezebox

Radio

follows the 802.11 standard and uses hexadecimal keys for WEP encryption. WEP keys are 10

characters or 26 characters (for 64

-

bit and 128

-

bit encryption, respectively)

. If the

password

you’ve entered into

Squeezebox

Radiois only

5

or 13 characters long, then you have an ASCII encryption key, which must be converted to

hexadecimal.

For more information about reasons your password might not be accepted, see the next section, "Network connection not

made".

Network connec

tion not made

After you enter your network password, if Squeezebox Radio cannot connect to your network, there could be a number of

causes. Please try the following:



Confirm that you have

entered

the right network

name

and password.



Check to see if there

are multiple networks of the

same name in the

list on your Squeezebox.

If you

r wireless

network name is still set to the manufacturer's default name,

such as

linksys

or

netgear

, there

might

be multiple

ne

tworks with

that name in your neighborhood and Squee

zebox Radio could be attempting to connect to the

wrong network.

If this is an issue, try connecting to another network or

go to your rout

er’s settings page online,

rename your

network, and try the setup

process again.



Check to see if your router is usin

g MAC filtering. If it is, and you cannot turn the filtering off, add Squeezebox

Radio

’s MAC addresses to the router’s table of allowed devices.

Find the MAC address

of your Squeezebox

printed on a label on the bottom of

the unit.

MAC filtering provides a

n extra level of security by ensuring that no unknown computers or other devices can

connect to your wireless network without prior authorization.



Check

the

distance

between Squeezebox Radio and your

wireless router. Move

the Squeezebox

closer to the

wire

less router and try connecting again.



Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, plug it back

in and wait for a few minutes.

Then try your password again.

By default, Squeezebox Radio relies on a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to provide the

IP address

during setup.

If you prefer to use a static IP address, the DHCP Server in your router must be disabled during the

Squeezebox Radio setup process. For help disabling the DHCP server in your router, please refer to your router

documentation or co

ntact your router manufacturer.

If the wireless icon in the status bar is red

instead of white

, you have no

internet

connection. If it is blue, you have

no connection

Troubleshooting after setup

Music is not playing

If you’ve tried to play music

on your Squeezebox and there is no sound:



Use the Volume knob on Squeezebox Radio to check the volume setting.



If you are using Squeezebox Server and listening to music from your computer, add exceptions to your firewall

software:

a.

Make sure there are no f

irewall warnings on your screen.

b.

Make sure your firewall has the proper exceptions. Required exceptions include: port 3483 UDP, port 3483

TCP, and port 9000 TCP.



As a test, try playing a different song or radio station.



If you are still not getting any sou

nd from your Squeezebox, restore your Squeezebox to factory settings, begin

the setup process again and see if the problem is resolved.

If the problem is not resolved, contact Logitech Technical Support.

encoded files

. If this is the case,

Apple will remove DRM from

tunes for a fee. “iTunes Plus” tracks and iTunes songs purchased in 2009 o

r after are not DRM protected.



Make

sure

Squeezebox Server

is running and

that

you have any firewalls on your system correctly configured to

My iTun

es music isn’t playing

Apple’s iTunes is a music manager that helps you organize your collection, rip CDs,

and

create and manage playlists. It

also connects to the iTunes Store, where Apple offers music, videos and podcasts for purchase. Much of the music

purchased from the iTunes store before 2009 is protected by Apple’s DRM software.

Look for Apple’s DRM (Digital Rights Management)

If your iTunes music is not playing on your Squeezebox, it is probably protected by Apple’s proprietary Digital Rights

Manage

ment (DRM) software.

Other online music stores also apply DRM to downloaded tracks. If you’re not sure if your

music is protected by DRM, contact your online music store.

You can play tunes purchased from iTunes if:



You purchased “iTunes Plus” tunes, whic

h are unencrypted and do not have DRM (digital rights management)

protection.

orYou purchased your iTunes in 2009 or after.

As of 2009,

Apple removed DRM protection from the songs sold at

iTunes.

orYou pay a fee to have Apple remove DRM from tunes tha

t you purchased from iTunes before 2009.

Check additional items

If your iTunes music is still not playing, additional items to check are as follows:



Make sure you that have

any

firewalls on your

computer

correctly configured to allow communication between

Sque

ezebox Radio and your computer

.Also, check

the file format

of the music to

be sure it’s one of the supported types.

If you’re still experiencing problems using iTunes after trying the steps listed above, please contact Logitech Technical

Support for assi

stance.

Squeezebox Radio can’t find all of

my personal music

After you download and install

Squeezebox Server

, it will scan your computer for music. An index of your music will be

added to the Squeezebox Music Library.

Make sure you have one music folder

If all of the music that you store on your computer does not show up from the

Squeezebox

My Music

menu, make sure

that your music files are all in one place on your computer.

You can store all of your files in

a

single folder, create

subfolders to help or

ganize your music

, or add shortcuts to files that are in other folders.

The software you use to “rip”

your CDs to digital files, such as iTunes or Windows Media Player, may already do this.

Check Tagging

If you don't see your music listed as you expect whe

n you g

o to

My Music >

Artists, Albums

,

it could be that it is not

tagged correctly. In this case,

Squeezebox Server has successfully read

all of your music

but it is not listed as expected

because

music tags are not set correctly or are absent entirely.

One way to confirm that incorrect tags are the issue

:From the home menu, go to

My Music > Albums

.

See if your albums are not catalogued correctly, or if there is a listing for "No Album". This is the category that

Squeezebox Server uses when it cannot fi

nd correct tags by which to categorize an album.

There are a number of free and fee tag editors. If your tag editor can clean out the tags entirely and re

-

create them, this

will frequently fix the issue.

Rescan your music folder

If Squeezebox Radio is not

finding all of your music, try rescanning the music folder on your computer.

To manually rescan your music collection:

1.

Windows: Click on the Squeezebox

Server icon in the system tray. Select

Open Control Pa

nel

.

Mac: Go to
