DAB RADIO MODE

GETTING READY FOR DAB OPERATION

Please ensure that the radio’s antenna is extended before operation
in DAB Mode.

To enter DAB MODE, press the button until the DAB MODE intro
screen is displayed, alternatively press then select MAIN MENU,
then DAB from menu option list.

When in DAB MODE for the fi rst time, SUPERCD will automatically
perform a scan to see what stations are being broadcast in your
area, before storing them alphabetically in the device’s memory.

It may be necessary to perform a manual scan from time to time, in
order to update your radio’s station list. This may be required for any
one of the following reasons:

1. Station availability can change from time to time as new stations
appear, or existing stations cease broadcasting.

2. If reception was poor during the initial automatic scan, for
example the antenna was not completely extended,
it may be that the station list is incomplete or even empty.

3. If you have poor reception on some of the stations (resulting in
broken or poor quality audio), you may wish to list only stations that
have a strong signal strength.

To start a manual scan, press the button then select SCAN from
the menu list.

When the scan is complete, your radio will list all available stations.

To remove stations that are listed but unavailable, press then
choose PRUNE INVALID. When asked whether you wish to ‘remove all
invalid stations’, select YES.

STREAMING MUSIC

Selecting and controlling music playback can be done in one of two ways: either
directly from the source device (smartphone, tablet or laptop etc.), or by using
the buttons mounted on your radio’s front panel.

Please note, the playback volume level can be independently controlled from
either SUPERCD or the source device.

MANAGEMENT OF MULTIPLE BLUETOOTH DEVICES

If you have paired only one Bluetooth device, on entering Bluetooth mode
SUPERCD will automatically seek to connect with this device.

Should you wish to pair another device, press then select ‘BT Disconnect’.
SUPERCD will now disconnect its current Bluetooth device and enter pairing mode
again. This will allow you to repeat the ‘Pairing with Bluetooth Devices’ procedure.

SUPERCD will remember up to 8 individual Bluetooth devices. When you reach the
point of having a 9th device you wish to pair, SUPERCD will pair with the 9th device
and automatically erase the oldest-paired device from its memory.

You can continue to pair new devices and your radio will always remember the
previous 8 devices it has paired with.

aptX®

SUPERCD’s Bluetooth solution is equipped with CSR’s patented aptX® technology,
meaning that when it is used in conjunction with a device that also supports
aptX®, the streamed audio will be of CD quality rather than the MP3 quality of a
standard Bluetooth stream.

immediately take advantage of various additional features and
services that it provides.

SETTING UP A MUSIC SERVER

In order for SUPERCD to be able to play music fi les from a connected
computer, the computer must fi rst be set up for media sharing.

UPnP media sharing allows devices like SUPERCD to play music from
a shared media library, navigating through tag menus such as Artist,
Album or Genre.

If you are running a PC with Windows Media Player 11 or later (WMP),
or an Apple Mac with OS X 10 or later and a UPnP application
installed, you can connect SUPERCD and stream audio.

NOTE: iTunes does not currently operate as a UPnP media server, but
there are a number of third party software add-ons available that will
allow you to access your iTunes library.

SHARING MEDIA WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER

The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (version11
or later) although other UPnP platforms and servers may be used.

To set up WMP for media sharing, performs the following steps:

Ensure that your PC and radio are connected to the same network.
SUPERCD will be recognised as ‘SUPERCD’ by your PC.

In WMP, add to the media library the audio fi les and folders you want

1

to share with SUPERCD (LIBRARY > ADD TO LIBRARY . . . .).

Make sure that SUPERCD has access to the shared media by

2

selecting it and clicking ALLOW. You can also set a name for the
shared media settings.

The PC is now ready to stream music to your device. The WMP
UPnP service runs in the background; there is no need to start WMP
explicitly.

SETTING UP A MUSIC SERVER

SHARING MEDIA WITH A MAC

In order to connect SUPERCD to your Apple Mac, a third party UPnP
server application is required. There are a number of applications
available to download from the Internet.

One such application is ‘Twonky Server’. This is an easy-to-install media
sharing application that enables SUPERCD to stream audio.
A free 30 day trial of Twonky Server (a licence can be purchased for
ongoing use directly through Twonky) can be downloaded from:

http://www.twonky.com

Once downloaded you should start the installer package and follow
instructions on screen. Once the installation is complete, you will
need to create a login for Twonky - you will be required to choose a
username and password as well as a valid e-mail address which will
need to be validated (by clicking through a link sent to that address).

When verifi ed you will then be logged in and you will be taken to the
default setup page. This will allow you to choose the server name that
will be shown on your SUPERCD as well as selecting your language and
also the folders where you music is stored. There is no need to change
any of the default folder settings unless your music library is not stored in
the default iTunes location.

You will then be taken to the ‘Twonky Server Settings’ page in your web
browser. This page will show the server status and gives further options
for customisation should you wish to do so. This page can be accessed
in the future by using the ‘Twonky’ menu located in the Menu bar at
the top of your main display.

Your Mac is now ready to stream music to your SUPERCD. Twonky will
automatically run in the background of your computer after each
boot up.

Spotify Premium account can now enjoy instant access to over 30 million
songs from the Spotify archive, all at superior audio sampling rates, simply
download the Spotify app for smartphone or tablet.

How It Works – You’ve just walked through the door, listening to your
favourite playlist on your phone. With Spotify Connect, simply hit play on
your SUPERCD and the music instantly fi res up, right where you left off –
ensuring you never miss a beat. Now pick up your tablet to keep controlling
the music from your sofa, or seamlessly switch the sound to another Spotify
Connect enabled product in another room.

The Beat Goes On – With Spotify Connect you don’t need to rely on
unstable connections to stream music between your devices. You can
make calls, play a game, or watch a video – you can even take your phone
or tablet out of range and the music will just keep playing.

To use Spotify Connect, SUPERCD owners are required to download the
Spotify app for their smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android), and have an
active Spotify Premium account. A free 30-day trial is available, for more

SPOTIFY CONNECT

To initiate Spotify on SUPERCD, fi rstly ensure that both your SUPERCD
and iOS/Android device are on the same wifi network and that you are
running the latest version of the Spotify app on your device.

As a song is playing on your device, tap the ‘Now Playing’ bar to bring
up the Playing screen.

When the Spotify app recognises SUPERCD on your network, the text
‘Devices Available’ will appear at the bottom of the app’s playing
screen.

Tap on the text to display all available Spotify Connect enabled
devices, then select your SUPERCD from the list.

The text colour at the bottom of the playing screen will change to
green and will now display the name of your radio (example ‘SUPERCD
00226123e594’).

You will notice that your SUPERCD is currently listed as “Revo
SUPERCDxxxxxxxxxxxx” (the 12 digit alphanumeric code is the MAC
address of your radio) in the Spotify App. If you would like to change
this name to something more personal (‘John’s SUPERCD’ for example),
you can do so using the UNDOK app (see page 31). Alternatively, do
as follows:

On the SUPERCD: Press and select System Settings -> Network ->
View Settings. Scroll down and take a note of the ‘IP address’.

On your computer : Ensure that your computer is on the same network
as the radio, then enter the IP address into your browser’s address bar
(example: 192.168.0.34). This will allow you to view some of SUPERCD’S
diagnostics, but also change its name.
