Introduction
Before you can use this product
Before you can use your internet radio, you must have the following:
A broadband Internet connection (not required for DAB, FM or Music Player functions).
A router (or equivalent wireless access point) providing a WiFi signal connected to your broadband Internet Service Provider. The broadband modem, router and wireless access point will often be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service Provider or bought from a computer store.
If your wireless network requires a security password to allow connection, then you either need to know the WEP, WPA or WPA2 key used for encryption so that you can get the radio to communicate with the network, or your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
The radio's WiFi system is compatible with 802.11b, g, or n networks.
The radio will typically work within a 10-20 metre radius from your wireless router or access point. The actual range achieved will depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless networks, and possible interference sources. DAB and FM radio functions can operate wherever the radio is able to receive a suitable broadcast signal.
IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure that your router (or access point) is powered up and working with your broadband Internet service (use your computer, smart-phone or tablet to verify this). To get this part of the system working you must refer to the instructions supplied with those items.

About this instruction manual
This instruction manual is split into sections for each of the different operating modes of your Roberts Stream 104 internet radio. Each section is clearly identifi ed by the shaded heading in the top right hand corner of each pair of pages.
Before using the Internet Radio and Music Player functions, you will need to connect your radio to your computer network using the WiFi connection. This is covered in the section titled Con guration.
The Internet Radio section describes how to fi nd radio stations to listen to. These can be radio stations that you already know and listen to conventionally, or new stations you may search for. You may set up stations that you like as Favourites so that they are more readily accessible.
The section for the Music Player describes how you may play music fi les that you may have stored on a computer connected to your network. The use of Shared Media (using UPnP) is explained.
The two sections for DAB Radio and FM Radio describe how to use the radio to listen to conventional radio broadcasts.
The section titled Clock and Alarms describes the different ways by which the clock in the radio may be set, as well as explaining the use of the alarms, snooze and sleep timer features.
The Display and Audio section shows how to adjust the display, use the equaliser and connect your internet radio to other audio equipment.
The Information section includes troubleshooting, specifi cations and warranty information.

Battery operation
We recommend for economy that the Stream 104 is used with the AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional use only. Inserting the adaptor plug into the DC input socket will disconnect the batteries.
If using batteries, only alkaline types should normally be used. Battery life will vary according to the operating mode of the radio, listening volume, battery type and temperature. Using quality branded Alkaline batteries, listening at moderate volume, between 10 and 20 hours should be possible. WiFi use takes much more power than DAB listening, for example.
To install batteries in your radio follow these steps.
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the battery door in and downwards.
2. Insert six LR6 (AA size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown on the rear of the radio.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Reduced power, audio distortion or the radio switching itself off are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.
If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
Rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells can be used in the radio but must be charged outside the radio using an external charger. Never
mix batteries of different types, capacities or brands in the radio.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fi re or the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

Navigation controls
These pages describe the basic means of controlling your Stream 104 internet radio. Detailed instructions for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.
1. Pressing and releasing the On/Standby button brings your internet radio out of the Standby mode if running from the mains or switches it on if using batteries.
Pressing and releasing the On/Standby control while the internet radio is in use
will cause it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display when running from the mains, or will switch it off after a short delay when running on batteries.
2. Pressing the Mode button gives you access to each of the operating modes in turn: Internet Radio, Music Player, DAB radio, FM radio and Auxiliary Input.
3. Pressing the Menu button will access the menu system.
4. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. This is done using the Tuning/Select control. Turn the control clockwise or anti-clockwise to highlight the desired menu item then press the control to select that item.
If there are more than fi ve items in a menu, then the display will automatically scroll
up or down so that the additional items become visible. A sliding bar on the right will give an indication showing the current portion of the menu that is displayed.
If there are many items in a menu, then the internet radio allows the menu to 'wrap
around' in either direction. This can make it easier to reach items at the end of a long menu, such as a list of countries or Internet radio stations.
5. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back to a higher level menu by pressing the Back button.
6. The Info button allows the display of information relating to the radio station or music fi le being played. A long press of the Info button also allows direct access to the brightness control menu.

Connecting to your computer network
Before you can use your Stream 104 radio to listen to internet radio or to music streamed from your computer, it must fi rst be connected to your computer network.
This section of this book describes how to connect the radio to your network using the wireless (WiFi) connection.
The following instructions assume that you have just set up the clock and time options using the Setup Wizard as described on the preceding page.
These instructions also apply to the Network Wizard in the Network Settings menu (from step 3 onwards).
1. After setting the Daylight Savings options (see page 11), the display will show the 'Keep network connected?' option. You should choose 'Yes' if you wish to keep the radio connected to the network when it is in Standby mode. This will allow remote control software to switch on your radio when needed.
If you choose 'No' then your radio will shut down its WiFi connection when it is
in Standby, DAB, FM, or Aux-in modes. This minimises power consumption but it does mean that you will need to switch the radio on manually in order to use the 'Play to' function or any remote control software such as the UNDOK app.
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the required option and then press
the control to make the selection.
2. After setting the Keep Connected option, the display will show a list of supported WiFi regional options.
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the required region (for the UK
choose 'Most of Europe'), and then press the control to make the selection. Your radio will then scan for available WiFi networks.
3. The radio will enter the Network Settings Wizard and will display 'Scanning...'. The radio will automatically scan the 2.4GHz WiFi band. After a short while the display will show a list of the available WiFi networks.

Connecting to your computer network - cont.
You will fi rst need to identify your network in the list of network names
presented by the Network Wizard. If no networks are found then you may have to get your wireless router working (please see the instructions supplied with it) or you may be too far from the router.
When the radio fi nds your wireless network, it displays the Network
Name (SSID) for the wireless access point on the screen. This is a name that is allocated to the access point in your router by the person who set up the network - for example: 'Jones family' or 'Paul's network'. Routers supplied by Internet Service Providers often have the default name of the WiFi network provided on a label or card for easy reference (e.g. BTHub-1234, virginmedia 1234567). If the router supports WiFi Protected Setup, then '[WPS]' will be shown in front of the SSID.
4. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to see the SSID for each wireless network that has been found. If your network is shown proceed to step 6 on the next page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 5.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back option to go back to
the previous screen.
5. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is confi gured not to broadcast the SSID. You should then use the Tuning/Select control to highlight and select the '[Manual con g]' option in order to enter the network details manually. This is described in 'Manual Network Confi guration', see page 17.
If your network name is being broadcast, and it was not found, then
try re-scanning (press the Back button), and if necessary try moving your radio to a location closer to your access point / router.

6. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to is highlighted on the screen, press the Tuning/Select control. If WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) was indicated, you will see an additional menu at this point, otherwise proceed to step 7.
Choose one of the WPS menu options as required for your router (WPS may be via
push button, or using an identifi cation number).
'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router and
then the Tuning/Select control on the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically from the router to the radio.
'PIN' - the display shows an identifi cation number which you must enter into your
router using a web browser (refer to your router's user documentation). You should then press the Tuning/Select control on the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio.
'Skip WPS' - if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously
entered into the radio).
If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show 'Connecting...' and then
'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control to exit setup wizard and then go to paragraph 10 on the next page.
7. If your network is confi gured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control to exit the setup wizard and show the main menu. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please go to paragraph 10 on the next page.
8. If the screen displays 'Key:', it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). You will need to enter the correct WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your wireless network. If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set up your network. Some wireless routers may come with an encryption key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the documentation provided with it. WPA is used here to also include WPA2.
Connecting to your computer network - cont.
WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some wireless
routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported by your radio. WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters. Your radio accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.
9. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the Tuning/Select control. As you rotate the control, the highlight scrolls through the available characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press the Tuning/Select control.
Do this as needed until the complete key has been entered. Remember, WEP
keys only use the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper and lower case characters. You must enter the key exactly or the radio will not connect to the network.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You
can quickly access these by pressing the Info button and then use the Tuning/ Select control as needed.
select '
' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear)
select '

If a WEP or WPA key has previously been entered for the selected SSID then the
radio will attempt to connect. If you have previously entered a different key, then the connection will fail, and you will need to enter the new, correct key.
After the fi nal character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, highlight the '
' symbol and press the Tuning/Select control. The screen will show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control to the exit setup wizard. The radio should now be able to connect to the network.
10. Once connected to the network (and therefore also to the internet) your radio will display the main menu. Press and release the Standby button to put the radio into Standby mode. It should then display the time as obtained from the Internet. If the time displayed is not correct for any reason, it can easily be adjusted later, see page 66, 'Manually setting the clock'. The clock display will switch off after 5 - 10 seconds if the radio is running on batteries.

If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your radio will have connected to your router, and then made a connection to the Internet and set its clock. If this is the case, then you can try listening to radio stations via the Internet as described on page 21 onwards.
Note: The clock display in Standby mode is only maintained when the radio is powered from the mains. If you are powering the radio from batteries, then the clock display will be switched off after about 5 - 10 seconds and the radio will shut down completely in order to minimise battery usage. The clock will be set to the current time the next time that you switch on the radio, depending upon the clock update settings.
Changing the network connection
From time to time, you may fi nd that you need to connect to different computer networks. The Internet setup menu allows you to change your radio’s network settings, scan for an alternative wireless network, or to manually confi gure the network parameters.
The steps outlined below describe how you can do this - see also the section 'Network profi les' on page 80. If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 21.
Confi guring the radio to use an alternative WiFi connection
1. From the Network settings menu select 'Network wizard'. This will present you with details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list using the Tuning/Select control to the desired network name. Press the control to select this network.
The radio will then use its WiFi system to communicate with the network. Depending on the settings
for the new network you may need to enter an encryption key (see pages 14-15). By default the radio will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.

Manual network confi guration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic confi guration, or if your network is confi gured with a hidden SSID, then you will need to enter some network settings manually. (Note - a hidden SSID may prevent casual observers from detecting your network, but it is not recommended as a means of network security.)
1. From the radios Network settings menu, select 'Manual settings'. There are as many as nine settings screens, shown by the '1 of 9' progress marker in the top right corner of the display.
2. The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to confi gure your network parameters (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, etc.). Unless you are familiar with networking and related terminology, we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose 'DHCP enable' unless you need to specify the network details manually.
If you chose 'DHCP enable', please skip to step 6 on page 18 in order to set up the wireless connection
details.
If you chose 'DHCP disable' the next step is to set up the IP address.
3. The manually specifi ed IP address should be chosen to be compatible with the settings in your router and must be a unique address on your network. If you are using DHCP for some devices and static (manually confi gured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside the range that the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the fi rst three groups of digits will be the same for all devices on your network. To enter the IP address, rotate the Tuning/Select control to set the value for each group of digits and then press the control to enter the value and to move on to the next group. When the IP address has been entered, the subnet mask should be entered. The subnet mask defi nes which parts of the IP address are common across your network. For most small networks the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and this is entered in the same way.
4. The Gateway address is normally the IP address of the router through which the radio connects to the internet and is entered in the same way as the previous addresses.

5. In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same IP address as your router. In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero.
To enter the DNS address, rotate the Tuning/Select control to set the value for each group of digits
and then press the control to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all eight groups of digits have been entered.
6. The next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the name of the wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password.
To enter the SSID, characters are selected and entered using the Tuning/Select control. As you rotate
the control, the radio scrolls through the available characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press the Tuning/Select control.
Do this as needed until the complete network name has been entered. The SSID setting is sensitive
to upper and lower case characters and symbols. You must enter it exactly as set up in your router.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You can quickly access
these by pressing the Info button and then use the Tuning/Select control as needed:
select '
' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue
select '
' when the complete SSID has been entered
select '
' to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen
7. Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your wireless network. This should be the same as specifi ed in your router settings. If your network does not use encryption, then select the 'Open' option. Your radio should then connect to the network, so skip to step 11. If your network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the 'WEP' option then go to step
8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see step 9.
8. If you chose 'WEP' in step 7, you should then choose the 'Pre-Shared Key - TKIP' option. The key should be entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. The key will be 10 characters long for 64-bit encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. The radio will accept lower-case letters a-f as equivalent to upper-case A-F. Spaces or special symbols are not permitted in WEP keys. Text entry is by the same method as described above in step 6.

9. WPA and WPA2 are more secure than WEP, more secure than WEP, although of these two WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Having selected WPA/WPA2 in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). Simply select the 'PSK AES/TKIP' menu option using the Tuning/Select control.
10. The radio will then require you to enter the encryption key. This must be a string of between 8 and 63 characters and must be identical to the key which has been entered into your router. Note - the
encryption key is sensitive to the use of upper and lower case letters and symbols. Take care to enter the key exactly, or the radio will not be able to connect to your router.

If the unit cannot connect, then it will display a 'Failed to connect' message and will return to the SSID entry screen (step 6).
Once connected, the network settings are stored in the radio. The settings are retained when the radio
is disconnected from the mains.
You may now use the Back and Mode buttons to access the functions of your internet radio.

Network remote control options
Network PIN setup (PIN number)
Your radio has the option of being controlled by an application installed on an Apple iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or equivalent Android device. The PIN number facility allows you to ensure that your radio can only be controlled by your own device rather than someone else's.
The remote control application is called UNDOK and is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for your device.
UNDOK will try to use the default PIN of '1234' to control your radio.
You may change the PIN if desired using the 'NetRemote PIN Setup' option in the Network settings menu. The updated PIN should then be used in the UNDOK app to allow the app to reconnect to the radio. The app will prompt you for the PIN as needed.
Keep network connected
Your radio has the option to shut down its WiFi connection when it is in Standby. This minimises power consumption but it does mean that you will need to switch the radio on manually in order to use the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' function or any remote control software such as the UNDOK app.
If you need to be able to remotely control the radio even when it has been put into Standby, then you can choose to keep the network connected by using the 'Keep network connected' option in the Network settings menu. In the Standby mode display the WiFi signal indicator is shown with or without a cross through it according to the state of the connection.

Internet Radio - the basics
Before you can use your radio to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it is necessary to have connected it to your computer network using the wireless (WiFi) connection.
There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the Internet as well as 'Podcasts'. Your radio provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to make nding and choosing them easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you may either store them as presets within the radio, or add them to a list of your favourite stations which your radio can access. The number of presets is limited (there are ten memory presets available on the internet radio), but you can store as many favourites as you like.
You may search for an internet radio station by Location. If you know the name of the station and the country from which a station is broadcast this may be the easiest method to fi nd a station. It is also a great way to experience radio from other parts of the world.
You may also search for an internet radio station by Genre. If you prefer a particular type of music, Blues for example, you may search for a radio station that broadcasts that type of music, and you can choose from a list of Blues radio stations regardless of location, or taking location into account.
If you know part of the name of an internet radio station, you can enter it into the radio and it will search for stations that match that name. This can be helpful if you are unsure of the location or genre of a particular station.
The Stream 104 radio connects to a radio station database which serves many users in many countries. This means that there is a very wide range of programme content available. You can also search for stations which have been recently added to those available (new stations) or you can search for the most popular.

8. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight your chosen radio station and then press the control to enter your selection. The display will show 'Connecting...' while the radio connects to the new station. The station should then start playing. Adjust the volume as needed.
9. If the station has on-demand content, that is, it gives the option of listening to programmes which have already been broadcast or to Podcasts, there will be an additional screen showing the radio station name as well as a 'Podcasts' option.
These are selected using additional menus, determined by the radio
station and the content. There may simply be a list of programmes, or there may also be options to chose from broadcasts on particular dates or days of the week. The examples shown here are typical.
Podcasts can also be accessed separately from the main Internet
Radio menu, see page 27.
If your radio cannot connect to a radio station
Note: If your radio is unable to connect to an internet radio station it will generally either display 'Network Error' or 'Stopped'. This can be for many reasons, but typically will be due to one of the following:
The radio station may not be broadcasting at the present time.
The radio station may not be able to accommodate any more connections
from internet listeners.
The broadcaster may limit listening to specifi c countries or regions
There may be network congestion (either locally or at a distance)
which is affecting the reliability of the connection.
If your radio can connect, but the audio is not continuous and the radio keeps having to reconnect, this may be due to the radio station only having limited connection capacity.

Selecting a new or popular station
As described in the section 'Internet Radio - the basics' on page 21, your radio connects via the Internet to a database of radio stations. This option is provided to highlight stations which are newly added to the list of those available, or stations which are particularly popular with listeners around the world. Your radio allows you to easily choose stations from these two categories, using menus very similar to those used when fi nding stations by location and genre.
1. Press the Menu button to enter the main Internet radio menu. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Station list' is highlighted on the display and then press the control to select.
2. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Stations' is highlighted on the display and then press the control to select.
3. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Popular stations' or 'New stations' is highlighted on the display. Press the Tuning/Select control to enter your choice.
4. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the station that you wish to listen to and then press the control to enter your choice. The display will show 'Connecting...' while the new station is found.
If the radio is unable to connect to a particular radio station this may be for one of the reasons explained on page 23.

Selecting a podcast
Radio broadcasters and individuals may make programmes which are intended normally to be downloaded into a computer or copied onto a portable media player. These are commonly known as Podcasts.
Podcasts are also accessible using the Podcasts option on the Stations menu (see page 22-23).
1. Press the Menu button to enter the main Internet radio menu. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Station list' is highlighted on the display and then press the control to select.
2. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Podcasts' is highlighted on the display and then press the control to select.
3. You may then search by location, genre, or using part of the name of the podcast. The searches operate in exactly the same way as when searching for a conventional radio station.
Searching by location is done fi rst by continent, then by country. You
may then list 'All shows' or search within a country by genre.
Searching by genre is more direct, since once the genre is chosen
the next menu display shows a list of available podcasts.
Searching by name operates in the same way as when searching
for a named radio station, selecting the '
' symbol when you have entered the text. You may enter one or more pieces of text which will be used for the search.
4. Rotate the Tuning/Select control and then press the control to confi rm your chosen podcast. The display will show 'Connecting...' while it nds the new programme.
