SECTION 1: GET TING STAR TED

To use SoundBridge you will need to do the following ( detailed explanations follow):

I. Make sure you have a compatible music ser ver installed. Compatible music servers include

Microsoft® Windows® Me dia Connect, Firefl y Media Server,™ Rhapsody,™ Musicmatch,®
and others. (Note : If you plan only to listen to Internet radio, you can sk ip this step because
no music server is neede d.)

II. Connect Sound Bridge to your Ethernet or Wi-Fi home netwo rk.

III. Connect Soun dBridge to powered speakers or your home stereo syste m’s receiver or

amplifi er.

IV. Plug in SoundBridge to AC power (the re is no “on/off ” switch).

V. Put batteries into your SoundB ridge remote control.

VI. Establish a network connection. If yo u are using Wi-Fi and have WEP security enabled, you

will need to enter your securit y key with SoundBridge’s remote control.

VII. Enable any music sharing options required by your music server:

a. Windows Media Connect: authorize SoundBr idge as a recognized device.
b. Firefl y Media Server: always enable d.
c. Musicmatch: enable Music Sharing feature and UPnP option in Options menu.

VIII. Sel ect and connect to your music library.

IX. Play music: Using your remote control, fi nd a song you want to play, then press Play to play

it immediately or Add [+] to add it to the So ng Queue.

I. Music Server Software Requirements

SoundBridge is designed to ac t as a remote client for several kinds of music libraries, including
Windows Media Connect, Firefl y Media Server, Rhapsody, Musicmatch and TwonkyVision
MusicServer. You can also play WMA and DRM WMA fi le s purchased from popular online music
stores such as Napster.™ (Apple’s policy does not allow Soun dBridge to support playback of
protected AAC fi les purchased from the iTunes Music Store.)

What Is a “Music Se rver”?

SoundBridge is a networ k music player. That is, it doesn’t store any music, but pl ays fi les that
you have stored on a computer connecte d to your home network. (It can also play Inter net
radio without connecting to yo ur computer, using a direct connectio n to the Internet.) To play
the music fi les stored on your comp uter, SoundBridge needs to receive dat a from software
installed on the computer that “serves” the music . This “music server” is responsible for
streaming the music to SoundBridge. It is also respo nsible for sending the list of music you
have available to SoundBridge (when aske d), and performing searches of the music librar y at
SoundBridge’s request.

The most common music servers are W indows Media Connect and Musicmatch. Roku
also offers a customized ser ver (Firefl y Media Server) availabl e as a free download from
www.fi refl ymediaser ver.com. If you want to use a Microsoft PlaysForSure™ music service,
you must use Windows Media Conne ct. If you want to listen to the music you have in your
iTunes library, you must use Firefl y Media Ser ver.

Note: For playing back Internet rad io using SoundBridge’s “Radio Favorites” library, you don’t
need a music server, because Soun dBridge receives the radio stream directly from the Interne t.

SoundBridge H as Two UI Modes

Each music server has dif ferent capabilities. To experience the full SoundBridge user inter face,
which includes searching and robust browsing modes , you must use a server that supports
these functions, such as the Firefl y Media Server or Windows Media Connec t. Some other
servers don’t have the func tionality required to deliver the full SoundBridge feature set. For
example, you won’t be able to search , and the browse modes will vary by server.

cable to your network .
Wireless Con nection: No need to inst all any additional hardware into SoundBridge

Please note that most, but not all, wireless access points are compatible with SoundBridge. You
can fi nd a list of supported wireless hardware at www.rokulabs.com/support.

IV. Connect Your Speakers or Stereo System

Connect your audio cable into the l eft side of the rear of the SoundBridge unit. Your
SoundBridge has several audio connec tion options:

a. Connect your SoundBridg e to a set of powered speakers, using the RCA-to-mini (1/8” ) Y-

audio cable included with your So undBridge (M500), or by plu gging your powered speaker

Connecting to powered speakers (M1000)

b. Connect your Soun dBridge to your stereo system’s Aux or other “Line Input,” using one of

the RCA (red/whi te) audio cables included with your SoundBridge.

Note: If your speakers have a male connector, you will need a female -to-female coupler
available from your local ele ctronics accessory store.

PC or Mac with

music files

Connect 1 of the following:
(1) Optical “Toslink” SPDIF from

SoundBridge to receiver

(2) Black SPDIF Coax (RCA) to “Coax Digital

In” on your receiver

(3) Analog RCA cable (white/red) to AUX

on your receiver

Power Cable

Connecting to a stereo

Wireless Router/Switch
(or wired Ethernet)

c. Connect to your stereo system using either coaxial SPDIF digi tal or optical SPDIF digital (the

SoundBridge has connecto rs for both) — cables sold separately.

V. Connecting SoundBridge to AC Power

If you plan to use an Ethernet connec tion, be sure the cable is plugged in to the unit. Plug the
power cord into the SoundBridge unit, and p lug the other end into to a wall outlet.

There is no power switch to turn on Sound Bridge. As soon as you plug in the power, you should
quickly see the welcome messag e “Roku SoundBridge.” If not, please stop and ensure that your
power cable is connecte d properly on both ends.

VI. Using Your Remote Control

The SoundBridge remote control is an inf rared remote, so it needs “line of sight” to
SoundBridge in order to ope rate. Point the remote in the direction of your SoundBridge,
and make sure that the IR receiver window is not blocke d by another object.

VII. Establishing a Network Connection

Wired Ethern et Network: After you have connec ted SoundBridge to your computer via a

switch/hub/ router (or directly to your computer via crossover cable) and p owered up the unit,
SoundBridge will auto- confi gure its network settings (using DHCP or AutoIP). T here is nothing
you need to do. If for some reason you have troub le connecting to your network, selec t the
“System Confi guration” option, then se lect “Show Wired Ethernet Status.”

Note: Do not plug in an Ethernet c able if you plan to use your Wi-Fi network to avoid confusi on
in the setup of the device. Also, if you plan to use an Ethern et connection, make sure the cable
is connected before power ing up the device.

Wireless Network: If you have an open and visible Wi- Fi network in your home (one which
broadcasts its name, and which has no s ecurity keys set) then SoundBridge will auto- connect
to your wireless network . However, you will be asked to enter your network’s name (SSID) if :

- SoundBridge detec ts more than one Wi-Fi network (as some adv anced users have in their
home, or if your neighbor ’s signal is leaking over), or

- Your Wi-Fi network does not broadc ast its name (for security reasons)

In these cases, enter the SSID using the remote control. Use th e Left/Right [◁ ▷] arrows to
choose letters, and use the Up /Down [△ ▽] arrows to change to Upp ercase and to other
character sets (numb ers, international characters) and to enter “Space”, “Delete” and “OK”
when you’re done.

SoundBridge suppor ts networks with WEP security. WPA is not yet supported . If you have a
WEP security key, you will need to enter your WEP key manuall y into SoundBridge. This is the

1

same key you have entered into your Access Point and your computer. Your screen will look
something like this:

No Music L ibrar ies Found (Why?)
System Confi guration

Scroll down using your remote control’s Down arrow until the option “ System Confi guration” is

For additional help connecting to your n etwork, including password help, see the Wi- Fi setup
section in the appendix o f this guide.

Personal Fir ewall

If you are having trouble connecting, yo ur computer may have a fi rewall installe d that is not set
correctly. Make sure your fi rewall is confi gured to allow music sharing from your music server:

For help with fi rewall troublesho oting, please visit the troubleshooting section of our suppor t
area at www.rokulabs.com/support or visit our user forums at www.rokulabs.com/forums.

For a complete list of SoundBridge set tings, please see the “Advanced Features” section of this
user guide.

IX. Checki ng for the Latest Software

When a software update is available, your SoundBridge will automatically offer you the choice
to upgrade. Please take a minute to do so. You’ll just need SoundBridge connected to a network
with a high-speed Internet connection.

Note: You will be offered the chance to upgrade af ter accessing your “source” menu (which
lists your available music libraries and Inte rnet radio). If for some reason you never access this
menu, like you always stay connected to the s ame library, we recommend checking for new
software manually.

See Options for System Confi guratio n section for instructions on how to check for new
software manually. Roku will releas e a revised user guide in PDF format periodically to explain
new features or functions that have been adde d to the SoundBridge software. Please visit
www.rokulabs.com /support to download the latest manual.

X. Wall or Under-Cabinet Mounting (optional)

SoundBridge ships with a portable black rubber table stand which looks great on your shelf or
nightstand. An optional wall mounting kit is available for sale at www.soundbridge.co.uk. This
allows SoundBridge to be mounted to the wall or under a cabinet using a sleek, hidden bracket
which screws into your wall.

SoundBridge automatically buil ds a song queue every time you select a song or albu m to play.
This section will tell you h ow to build a Song Queue, review a Song Queue and erase a Son g
Queue.

Building a Song Queue

Let’s say you would now like to choose several di fferent songs or selections to play in a row.
This is called building a “Son g Queue.” SoundBridge automatically builds a new Song Queue
every time you selec t a song or album to play. You can add to that list by navigating to your
preferred music and pressing Add [+] . The selection will be added to the end o f the current
Song Queue.

You may add a single song, an entire album, all songs by an artist, all songs in a g enre, or any
search result — just browse to the select ion you prefer and press Add [+]. For example, if
you would like to play all songs by Coldplay, select H ome menu > Browse > Browse artists.
Navigate to Coldplay in your artist list and pr ess Add [+]. All songs on all albums by Coldplay
will be played in the order they appear on each album . See “Browse” and “Search” for more
information.

You have several other options for building a Song Queue. Af ter you press Select while
browsing on a song, a “Song” menu app ears with the following options:

Play Songs, Starting With selected song name (and clear previous Song Queue)

Get Song Info
Play Song (and clear previous Song Queue)
Add Song t o Song Queue ( same as pressing the Add [+] button)

The fi rst, “Play Son gs” option is described in the section above — it star ts playing your album
(or other browsed list) , beginning with the current track.

If you choose “Play Song” on any track in your s election, the entire list is added to the Song
Queue, but playback star ts on the chosen track. If you have the Repeat [

] option selected,
the earlier tracks in the queue will p lay after the last song. If you have the Shuffl e [ ] option
selected, then the chose n track will play fi r st, followed by all the other tracks in the list in
random order.

The “Add song to Song Queue” option behaves similarl y to the Add [+] button it places the

current song at the end of your playlist.

You can add an almost unlimited number of songs to your Song Queue. Ea ch selection will be
played in the order it was entered (unl ess you have chosen to Shuffl e your Song Queue).

Hint: After you have selec ted multiple songs to be played in turn, you can use the Nex t
Tra ck [9 ] and Previ ous Track [ : ] but tons to skip from song to song in your Song
Queue.

Reviewing a Song Queue

At any point, you can review what’s in your Song Queu e by pressing the Down [▽] arrow from
the Now Playing screen, which is the default scree n that appears while SoundBridge is playing.
The Now Playing screen looks s omething like this:

Don’t Pa nic 0:10/2:17 4
Coldplay Parachutes (2000) (|||------)

Alternatively, you can press Home Menu [ ], then sele ct the “Show Song Queue” option. You
will see the entire list of songs in your song que ue; refer to the scroll bar on the right side of
the screen to determine where in the lis t you are located. Press the Up/Down arrows to see the
entire list of selections in your S ong Queue. The currently playing selection is indi cated by a
speaker X )).

You cannot save a Song Queue that you have created — it’s only held in memo ry temporarily
until you build your next Song Q ueue. If you would like to build a Song Queue that you can
save, please build a Playlist in your music jukebox sof tware (see “Playing a Saved Playlist”
below).

When the Song Queue has played all the way through , it will stop (unless repeat has been
selected) . You will see the Stop icon < on the right side of your display. To start playing your
Song Queue again at the beginning, p ress the Play button.

Erasing a Song Queue

If you decide you don’t want to p lay the Song Queue you’ve just created, simply select
something else to play. Navigate to another selec tion (song, playlist, etc.) and press Select or

Play (not Add [+]). This selectio n immediately replaces your old Song Queue.

SECTION 4 : ADDITIONAL PLAYBACK OPTIONS

Playing a Playlist

To play a playlist that you have created in your music jukebox softwa re such as Windows Media
Player, select the Playlist option from the Home Menu [ ]. Use your Up /Down [△ ▽] arrows
to browse your playlists one by one, fi nd the one you want to play, then press Play to play all
songs on the playlist immediately o r Add [+] to add the playlist to your Song Queue. Playlists
can include audio tracks and Inter net radio streams. If your playlist was created in Windows
Media Player or other soft ware using Windows Media Connect, be sure to save your playlist in
the My Music/My Playlist folder on yo ur hard drive, or confi gure W indows Media Connect to
share the directory on your hard dri ve containing the playlist.

Repeat and Shuffl e

Pressing Repeat [ ] once makes your Song Queu e play continuously. You w ill see the Repeat
icon q displayed on the right side of your “Now Playing” scre en below the Play  icon. Pressing
Repeat again makes the current song play over and over; you will s ee another Repeat icon,

a circle with just one arrow

. Press Repeat a third time and you will remove the repeat

command altogether.

Pressing Shuffl e [

] while playing a Song Queue will give you the fo llowing options:

Shuffl e On — will p lay everything in your Song Queue in random order. (The shuf fl ed order
of songs will be displayed in the Song Que ue.) An icon with two crossing arrows will be

displayed on your Now Playing screen.

Shuffl e Of f — will play everything in your Song Queue in the orig inal order.

You can execute the Repeat and Shuffl e command from any menu in SoundBridge. Even
though you can only see the mode chan ge on the Now Playing screen, the command is taking
effect.

Search Options

To search for a specifi c selectio n by spelling it out, you can press the Search [] button on
your remote control, or navigate down to the “Search” option f rom the Home Menu.

Note: Unfortunately Musicmatch does not supp ort searching on SoundBridge at this time. If
searching is not available, the Search menu item will not app ear, and pressing the Search key
on the remote will display a message.

Whether you use the Search menu or the remote b utton, you will see the following options:

Search for Titles
Sear ch for Album s
Sear ch for Arti sts
Search for Composers
Search Keywords

Press Select on the option you would like to search w ith. Then, use your Left/Right arrows
on the remote control to enter characters fo r spelling your selection and then pressing Select.
When you are done spelling, use the Down but ton to go to the OK option and press Select. (If
you make a mistake, use the Down button to go to the Del ete option and press Select.)

Hint: Partial spelling is OK — the Search f unction searches for letters anywhere in the
word, as opposed to just at the beg inning. For example, to search for Radiohead, you
can enter any combination of letters found in the wo rd (“RA,” “DI,” “HE,” etc.) , and the
results will return all Artists containing thos e letters (e.g., if you enter “DI ” you may get
Radiohead, India Arie, and Diana Krall ).

When you fi nd the music you like, us e the Add [+] button to add it to your Song Queue. If
searching for albums or artists, yo u can press Select to navigate down to individual tracks.

SECTION 5: PRESETS

Your SoundBridge includes 18 positions in its internal memory, which can sto re a variety of
selections for your quick and eas y recall. You can save just about anything to Presets that you
can play on the SoundBridge by highlighting it and p ressing the Play key. For example, you can
save all tracks by a single artist , a Playlist, an Internet Radio Station, or a set of search results.
Simply navigate to your selectio n and press the Play button to begin playing it. Then press
Select [] and scroll down to the option “Save Preset: [Name o f selection]”. Each position is
numbered: A1-A6, B1-B6, and C1-C6. Choose which preset you would like to replace, and your
preset will be saved.

For example, let’s say you want to save all track s by the artist Coldplay as one preset. Select the
Browse/Browse Ar tists options and scroll down to the listing “Coldplay”. Press Play, and then
press Select. Scroll down to the option “Save Preset : Tra cks by Coldplay” and press Select.

Note: You cannot make a preset out of a Song Queue that was created using th e Add key or
menu command. The selecti on must be playable simply by hitting the Play key on the remote.
Individual tracks cannot b e saved as Presets. When an Internet radio station is playing, even if i t
was part of a larger list, onl y the individual station is saved.

Recalling Presets

You can access your Presets in several ways:
From the Home Menu of any music library, scroll down to “Play Preset ” and press Select. Scroll
down to the preset you would like to play and press Select [].
While listening to any selectio n (music, Internet radio, etc.) press Select from the N ow Playing
menu and scroll down to the “Play Preset…” option.

Editing Presets Using t he Web Interface

You can also edit your presets in the SoundBridg e web interface. See page 35 for instructions
on connecting to your web inter face. Click on the link to the “Presets” page. Here, you can:

- Re-nam e a Preset by typing a new name into the web form.

- Reorder the se lections in the list by pressing and dragging the “Move” button .

- Play back the selec tion by pressing the “Play” button next to the se lection. (If your

SoundBridge is in Standby mode when you p ress Play, it will power up and start playing .)

- Enter a stream URL for an Intern et radio station from an external source. ( For help with
locating and importing stream U RL’s, see the link on the top of the web p age. For more
information about playing Internet r adio streams, see the “Internet Radio” section o f this
user guide.)

When you are fi nished edi ting your Presets, click on the “Update Presets” button at the bot tom
of the page.

Presets commands can also be programme d into a universal remote control. For more
information, see the “Programming a Univers al Remote Control” section in the Advanced
Features chapter of this document.

SECTION 6 : INTERNET RADIO

You can listen to Internet radio in one of two ways. Firs t, you can listen to SoundBridge’s built-in
set of radio stations loc ated in the “Internet Radio” Library. Your computer does not need to be
on - all you need is an active Intern et connection on your home network. Se cond, you can enter
a URL of a radio station playlis t on the Internet Radio tab of the SoundBridge web page. ( This
feature is described more in the “Web Pag e Control” chapter of this user guide.)

The easiest way to play Internet radio on S oundBridge is through the “Internet Radio” Library,
where you can access a large and growing number of Inter net radio stations, browseable by
Name, Genre, Language, and Locatio n. To navi gate to the “Internet Radio” Library, follow these
steps:

1. Pr ess Home Menu [

]. Navigate down to ”Change Librar y or Confi gur ation” and press

Select [].

2. Your available music libraries will be d isplayed, including the one named “Internet Radio.”
Select that librar y and you will see a list of Internet radio stations. These are your Pres ets,
and they are pre-loade d when your SoundBridge is fi rst set up. See below for more
information on how to edit these Presets.

3. Scroll to the s tation you want to play and press Play. (Alternatively, you can press Select
[] and choose “Get Station Info” to view the genre/for mat of the station, its language and
location.)

When the station is playing, the “ Now Playing” screen looks similar to this:

Michelle Shocked — Black Widow
http://www.radioparadise.com
RadioParadise.com

The song and artist informati on is provided by each Internet radio station. Therefo re, it may not
be available for every Interne t radio station, or it may look slightly different.

Browsing Internet Radio Stations

You can browse SoundBridge’s built-in stations by Name, Genre, L anguage or Location. From
anywhere in the Internet Radio Librar y, press Home Menu [ ]. You will see the following
options:

My Favorites
Browse
Play Preset
Show Now Playing

Select “Browse” and ch oose the method of browsing that you prefer:

Browse Names
Browse Genres
Browse Locations (by country of ori gin)
Browse Languages

Hint: You can “Fast Browse” a list of results by pressing the Left /Right [◁ ▷] arrows on
your remote; your results will sk ip to the next letter of the alphabet.

Choose your desired browse option and press Select. Scroll down to the station you would like
to hear and press Play (or Select twice ) to begin playback.

Customizing Favorites and Presets for Internet Radio

There are two ways to save Internet radi o stations for easy playback.

The fi rst way has already b een discussed, and that is to save the station as a Preset. Whether the
station was found by browsing SoundBridg e’s built-in Internet Radio Librar y, by playing it from
music server on your computer, or by entering it manually on th e web page, it can be stored in
a Preset slot and played back easily via the “Play Preset ” command.
The second way is to mark a station from th e built-in Internet Radio Library as a favorite. When
a station is marked as a favorite, it appears in the “ My Favorites” list in the Internet Radio librar y,
but does not use up one of the 18 Preset slots.

Note: If a station is saved as a Preset , then it is assumed to also be a “favorite”, and will
always appear at the front of the “My Favorites” list.

There are several important di fferences between Presets and My Favorites:

Ë Presets are accessible from any Library, while My Favorites only appear in the Internet

Radio Library.

6

Section 6: Internet Radio Section 6: Internet Radio

28 29

Ë My Favorites may only contain stations found by browsing the Internet Radio Librar y.

Presets may contain stations fro m the built-in library or entered via the web page.

Ë Presets can recall content other than Internet radio s tations, like playlists or

selectio ns that you have browsed to from SoundBridge (such as all songs by a
particular ar tist, etc). My Favorites include only Internet radio stations.

Ë When displaying My Favorites, Internet radio station Presets are als o included at the

beginning of the list.

Ë Presets can be programmed and played from the pres et web page (see page 25 for

more information.)

Ë Presets can be programmed as discrete commands on a custo m remote control. (For

more information about customi zing your remote for SoundBridge control and a
pronto CCF fi le, please visit the Support section of o ur web site.)

To save an Internet radio station to My Favorites:

1. From the “Inte rnet Radio” Library, Scroll down to the “Browse” menu item. Navigate to the
station you would like to save.

2. Press Selec t, then press the Down arrow to display these options:

Play [Station name]
Get Station Info
Add Station to My Favor ites

3. Scro ll down to the option “Add Station to My Favorites” and press Select. You will see the
message “Station added to your f avorites”. N ext time you view My Favorites, you will see
that station displayed in the list.

You can also save a station to My Favorites while it is playing. Simply press Select to display
these options:

Get info fo r “[Station name]”
Play Preset…
Save Preset: [Station name]

Add Station to My Favorites
Stop

Select the option “Add Station to My Favorites” and press Select.

Note: Only stations that you have accessed via the b rowse feature in the Internet Radio Library

can be saved to your Favorites. Stations that are played from a URL manuall y entered as a Preset
cannot be saved to your Favorites.

To save an Internet radio station to your Presets :
Play a radio station and press Select. You will see the foll owing list of options:

Get info fo r “[Station name]”
Play Pr eset… (this di splays a lis t of your 18 prese ts)
Save Preset: [Station name]
Add Station to My Favorites
Stop

Select the option “Save Preset : [Station name]” and press Select. Scro ll down to the position
you want to replace and press Select. Ne xt time you view Presets, you will see that station
displayed in the position you have chosen. You will also see Presets d isplayed fi rst in the list of
My Favorites.

Playing Stations Saved as “My Favorites” or “Presets”

From anywhere in the Internet Radio Librar y, press the Home Menu [ ]. Choose the “My
Favorites” option. You will see a list of your Internet radio Preset s followed by your Favorites.
Navigate to the station you would like to play and pr ess Select [] . You will have the option to
play it, get station info, or “Re move station from My Favorites”.

You can also just press the Down arrow on the Now Playing screen of an Internet radio s tation.
Since there is no Song Queue when liste ning to Internet radio, this shortcut takes you directly
to My Favorites. If the currently-playing station app ears in My Favorites, it will be marked with
the speaker icon [X].

To play your Presets, you can also choose the Play Preset option from th e Home Menu of any
music library (not just the Inte rnet Radio Library). Choose the stati on you would like to play,
then press Select.

Playback Limitations of Internet Ra dio Streams

SoundBridge currently suppo rts MP3 and WMA Internet radio stations. RealAudio and A ACplus
stations are not supporte d at this time. However, stay tuned for additional format s that may be
supported in future sof tware releases.

Unfortunately, there are few standards in Internet radio ( especially for MP3 stations), and
sometimes a station will do some thing out of the ordinary that will prevent SoundBridge from
being able to play it. See our onlin e document at www.rokulabs.com/suppor t/internetradio.
php for more information.

Discovering More Internet Radio Stations

Our online user forums have an active discussion d edicated to helping SoundBridge users fi nd
good Internet radio st ations in a variety of genres. Visit our Forums (accessible fro m www.
rokulabs.com/supp ort) and look for the discussion topics related to I nternet radio stations if
you would like to fi nd more stati ons in a particular genre or would like to suggest a station or
offer help to others on this top ic.

SECTION 7: SOUNDB RIDGE WEB INTERFACE

known as Rendezvous ), the device automatically announces itself.

2. In Saf ari, be sure you have your bookmark list showing. If it is not showing, go to the
Bookmark menu and selec t Show All Bookmarks.

3. Click on th e Bonjour option in the bookmark list to reveal your S oundBridge. If more than

The web page includes four tabs :

Now Playing

Allows for control of playback of current music sele ction, including Pause, Play, Next/Previous
Track, Stop, Repeat and Shuffl e. You can also change the volume level.

Presets

On this page, you can:

- Specif y up to eighteen of your favorite music selections, such as I nternet radio streams,
search results, or Playlists, to be store d in your Presets. (See p 26 for more info about
Presets. )

- Change the name of a Preset.

- Click and drag the “Move” but ton to change the order of items in your Preset list.

- Press the “Play” but ton to play a preset item on your SoundBridge.

Why eighteen presets? Roku ’s new Wi-Fi Radio includes e ighteen preset buttons on the top of
the unit– which makes playing and changing presets quick and easy.

If you experience prob lems with playback of an Internet radio stream you copied f rom a web
browser, make sure that copied the correct URL. Usually, an MP3 stream URL ends with th e
“.pls,” or “.m3u” extension, and a WMA stream ends with “.asx”. Currently, SoundBridge can
stream MP3 and WMA formats. RealAudio streams (e nding in .ram or .rm) are currently not
supported. A ACplus stations may use the same ex tensions as MP3 stations, but will not be able
to be played. Usually, an Internet radio statio n’s web site will say which format is being used .
Stay tuned for additional format suppor t in future software updates.

Format your time display by choosing what to display in each of four fi elds . SoundBridge
“strings together” all the fi elds to create the time display. For example, if you don’t want to
see seconds, or don’t want to se e “A M/PM”, select the hour and minute format, then choose
the “Leave Blank” in the remaining drop down menus . Take note of th e small text-entry boxes
to the right of the pop-up m enus. This is where you enter the character that should appear
between the sec tions of the time. For example, enter a colon (“: ”) for the usual “12:15” format.

The date selection wor ks the same way — you can choose the format that best fi ts your
geographic standard or your p ersonal preference.

To disable the date/time display altogether when S oundBridge is in standby, select the
corresponding option on this page.

Don’t forget to click the “Update” b utton for the date or time confi guration once you’ve
changed it. Since the update buttons cor respond separately to date, time, time zone, etc, you
should only update one sec tion at a time, and then press the appropriate update button.

When you are fi nished, simp ly close your web page.

Language Setup

SoundBridge will prompt you for your d esired language the fi rst time you set up the unit. If
you would like to change the language af ter the initial setup, use the SoundBridge web page.
Please see section 7 of this user gui de for instructions on launching your SoundBridge web
