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 network router with WiFi capability connected to your broadband Internet service.

● 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 is compatible with 802.11b, g, or n networks and can use 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi frequency bands.

The radio will typically work within a 10-20 metre radius from your wireless 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 network router is powered up and working with your broadband Internet service (use your computer, tablet or smart phone to verify this). To get this part of the system working you must read the instructions supplied with the router.

About this instruction manual

Introduction

This instruction manual is split into sections for each of the operating modes of your Roberts Stream 107 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 network using the WiFi connection. This is covered in the section titled Conﬁ 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 Spotify Connect section explains the use of the radio in conjunction with the Spotify internet based music streaming service.

The two sections for DAB 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, and use the equaliser.

Battery operation using alkaline batteries

Warning: Internal battery switch MUST be set to correct battery type before installing batteries. Recommends using rechargeable NiMH batteries.

(also see page 93 and 94)

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by pushing the battery door in slightly and then downwards in the direction of the arrow.

2. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the Alkaline position (down).

3. Insert six LR6 (AA size) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Then replace the battery cover.

• When the batteries are exhausted, the low battery indicator will show red for a short while. The radio will then switch itself off. It may not be possible to switch the radio back on until the batteries are replaced, or until the radio is connected to the mains adaptor.

• 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.

• We recommend for economy that the Stream 107 is powered using the

AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only. The use of WiFi technology in the radio can signiﬁ cantly affect battery life. If extended listening using batteries is anticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.

• DAB and FM operating modes require less power than Internet radio and the Music Player. Setting the "Keep Network Connected" option to No will save power in DAB and FM modes (see page 20).

IMPORTANT:

When using alkaline batteries the battery switch must be placed

in the alkaline position. Failure to do so could result in serious damage to the batteries or radio.

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.

(also see page 93 and 94)

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by pushing the battery door in slightly and then downwards in the direction of the arrow.

2. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the Rechargeable position (up).

3. Insert six identical Rechargeable LR6 (AA size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. The radio is designed to be used with Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. No other type of rechargeable battery should be used.

4. Plug the mains adaptor into your radio and then plug the adaptor into the mains.

5. The charge indicator will ﬂ ash green indicating batteries are charging. Batteries will be fully charged in around 5 - 7 hours. The charge indicator shows a steady green light when the battery charging is complete.

6. Under some conditions the charging indicator may switch off after ﬂ ashing only brieﬂ y.This may happen if the batteries are already freshly charged, or if the radio detects that you may be attempting to recharge alkaline batteries. In these cases the charging will be stopped.

If this happens with discharged batteries, try charging the batteries a

second time by removing and reconnecting the AC power adaptor. If charging is stopped again then it is possible that the batteries are old and may need to be replaced.

• When the batteries are exhausted, the low battery indicator will show red for a short while. The radio will then switch itself off. It may not be possible to switch the radio back on until the batteries are recharged, or until the radio is connected to the mains adaptor.

• 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.

Introduction

IMPORTANT:

You should never attempt deliberately to recharge alkaline

batteries in the radio. Attempted recharging of alkaline batteries can be dangerous.

When using rechargeable batteries the battery switch must be

placed in the Rechargeable position. Batteries will only be charged when the radio is switched off and connected to the AC adaptor.

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

This page describes the basic means of controlling your Stream 107 radio. Instructions for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.

1. Pressing the On/Standby button brings your radio out of Standby mode. Pressing On/Standby while the radio is in use and powered from the mains adaptor will cause it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display, or switch off when using batteries.

2. Pressing the Mode button gives you access to each of the operating modes in turn: Internet Radio, Spotify, Music Player, DAB Radio and FM Radio. Alternatively press the Mode button and then turn the Tuning/Select control clockwise or anti-clockwise to highlight the desired menu item then press the control to select that item.

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 six 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 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. The Forward button may also be used to make selections from the displayed menu. 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.

Note: In this booklet, press always means press and release. If it is required to give a long press on a button this is described as press and hold.

Connecting to your computer network

Conﬁ guration

Before you can use your Stream 107 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 or FM modes. This minimises power consumption but it does mean that you will need to switch the radio on manually in order to use either Spotify Connect, the 'Play to' function or any remote control software such as ConnectR 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.

Page 16

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'. 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 conﬁ 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.

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. See also 'Text Entry' on page 8.

If a WEP or WPA key has previously been entered for the selected SSID then the

display will show 'Key: [Set]'. If you have previously entered a different key, you must clear this by selecting the '

' symbol. This will remove the '[Set]' indication.

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 On/Standby button to put the radio into Standby mode. If the radio is powered from the mains adaptor 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 73, 'Manually setting the clock'.

Connecting to your computer network - cont.

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 the clock will not be displayed 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 88. 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. See also 'Text Entry' on page 8.

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 ' select ' select '

' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue

' when the complete SSID has been entered

' 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 'Pre-Shared Key' option then go to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see step 9.

8. If you chose 'Pre-Shared Key' in step 7, you should then choose the WEP 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. See also 'Text entry' on page 8.

' to cancel and go back to the SSID settings screen

Once the key is entered the radio should connect to your network. Please skip to step 11.

9. WPA and WPA2 are similar, although WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Whichever you selected in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As previously, the setting should match that used by your router. Some routers allow both to be speciﬁ ed, and the router will use whichever variant is supported by the connected device. AES is regarded as the more secure option if it is available.

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. See also 'Text Entry' on page 8.

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 ' select ' select '

' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue

' when the complete encryption key has been entered

' to cancel and go back to the TKIP / AES options screen

Once the key is entered the radio should connect to the network.

11. While the radio is trying to connect to the network, it will display 'Processing...' when checking the encryption key and then 'Connecting...'. If the connection is made successfully, the radio will return to the Network settings menu. 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.

Conﬁ guration

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 ConnectR and is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for your device. Details of how this feature can be used are explained in the separate documentation available from the Roberts Radio website.

The default PIN is '1234' and is entered in the ConnectR application on your device when it ﬁ rst connects to 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 to reconnect the radio to the application.

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 either Spotify Connect, the 'Play to' function or any remote control software such as the Roberts ConnectR 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. Please see page 9 for details.

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 ﬁ nding and choosing them easier. Once you have found the radio stations that 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 radio allows you to store up to 5 presets and 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 107 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.

Page 25

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 and Listen Again content 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.

Please also refer to the 'Troubleshooting' section on page 91.

Selecting a podcast / BBC Listen Again

Some radio stations allow you to listen to programmes that have already been broadcast. The BBC's Listen Again service is an example of this. In addition, 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.

On your radio, both Listen Again programmes and Podcasts are grouped together as Podcasts, and the same menu is used to access and listen to both types of programming. Listen Again programmes are also accessible via the Stations menu (see pages 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 ﬁ nds the new programme.

5. Stations which enable you to listen to previously broadcast programmes also may allow you to fast-forward, rewind to any point within the programme or pause the programme playing.

Please note these features are dependent on the programme or podcast and will

not always be available.

Customising your radio

Internet Radio

In addition to storing your favourite radio stations in the radio presets, your radio allows you to create customised lists of stations which can appear in two special menus on the radio called 'My Favourites' and 'My Added Stations'.

Your radio uses a database which is accessed via the Internet in order to ﬁ nd out which radio stations are available and how it should connect to them. You are able to add your personal selections to this database. These will only be accessible by you using your PC or your radio. You can choose the stations which will appear in the 'My Favourites' menu from the large selection already listed. Additionally, if you ﬁ nd a radio station that is not listed then you may also add the Internet address (URL) of the station's audio stream to your selection. It will then appear on your radio via the 'My Added Stations' menu item.

Registering an account

1. Open the web site http://www.wiﬁ radio-frontier.com using the Internet browser on your computer. Click on the ‘Register here’ link and follow the on-screen instructions to register an account.

Customising your radio - cont.

Conﬁ guring My Favourite Stations

1. Using the web site at http://www.wiﬁ radio-frontier.com it is possible to search among the many radio stations that are available by location, genre, or language. You may also choose from new or popular stations.

2. When the radio stations that you have found are shown on your computer screen, they are shown with a 'Play' icon and an 'Add to favourites' icon (the plus symbol and heart). Clicking on the 'Play' icon will allow you to hear the radio station via your computer. Clicking on the 'Add to favourites' icon will cause the radio station to be added to the list accessible via your radio.

3. To help you organise your favourites, and since you may have a great many after a while, the web site will allow you to specify the name for a category or group under which the radio station will be listed on your radio. Suitable names might be 'Rock', 'Smooth', 'Mum's stations', and so on. When ever you add another radio station to your favourites you can either add it to an existing category or create a new one.

4. Once you have Internet radio stations available in your My Favourite Stations list, you may play these stations from your radio. These stations will be available on your radio from the Internet Radio menu item 'My Favourites'.

5. To look at, modify or delete your favourite stations lists on the web site, use the link 'My favourites' in the 'My account' area. To delete a favourite radio station, click on the icon with a heart and minus symbol.

Conﬁ guring My Added Stations

1. If you wish to listen to a radio station which is not currently held in the database at http://www.wiﬁ radio-frontier.com it is possible to

add the details yourself. You will need to obtain the internet address (URL) for the audio stream for the station that you wish to add. This may be information provided by the radio station itself, via its web site, or perhaps passed to you from another listener.

Note: The URL for the audio stream will generally not be the URL for

the web page from which you listen to the station on your PC.

2. Use the 'My added stations' link in the 'My account' area on the web site. This allows you to add details of new stations or to modify those already added. You can provide a name for the radio station which will be shown on your radio. You must also provide the web address, location and format details.

3. Once you have Internet radio stations available in your My Added Stations list, you may play these stations from your radio. These stations will be available on your radio from the Internet Radio menu item 'My Added Stations'.

4. It is possible to add the web addresses for audio streams which may not be playable by your radio. If you attempt to play such a stream, your radio will normally display an error message of some kind. The

Roberts Stream 107 can only play MP3, WMA and AAC Internet radio streams.

5. To look at, modify or delete your added stations list on the web site, use the link 'My added stations' in the 'My account' area. To delete an added radio station, click on the icon with a heart and minus symbol.

Music Player

Use with Windows, Apple Mac, Linux

The Music Player allows you to play audio ﬁ les which are stored on a

computer on your network.

In order to play ﬁ les from a computer on your network, your radio must connect to a ﬁ le server program on your computer which uses the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol (often known as DLNA). If your computer uses Windows 7 or Windows 8 then your computer already has a UPnP server program available. This is Windows Media Player (version 12), and it can share your audio ﬁ les with your radio. It allows you to select ﬁ les by Album, Artist, and so on using your radio's controls. Throughout this section, where Windows 8 is mentioned, this also includes Windows 8.1.

Many UPnP server applications are also capable of sharing pictures and video ﬁ les to other network connected devices. If this is the case (as it is with Windows Media Player) you may see the option of choosing between 'Music', 'Video' and 'Pictures' on the Music Player's menu. Clearly you should only select the 'Music' option. Content offered via the alternative options will not be playable on your radio.

Some third party server applications allow customisation of the search criteria and indexing methods. This can be useful if you have a very large collection of stored music ﬁ les.

Windows Media Player can serve MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV ﬁ les to your radio. If you are an Apple Mac or Linux user, or if you have your audio ﬁ les stored in other formats, such as FLAC, there are other UPnP server programs which you may use with your radio. Note that Apple computers do not support UPnP streaming natively and that Apple does not license their own equivalent streaming protocol (DAAP) to third parties.

The Music Player on the radio can playback audio ﬁ les in MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC and WAV formats. WMA Lossless ﬁ les can also be played when using Windows Media Player as the UPnP server. Note that the playback of ﬁ les encoded using WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional, and of ﬁ les which have DRM protection is not supported by the radio.

When using a UPnP server, the search and selection criteria are determined by the server software, not by the radio, but typically include searching by Artist, Album and Genre. Many server applications also allow you to access your ﬁ les according to the folders within which they are stored as well as other criteria. Windows Media Player is less ﬂ exible than some other UPnP servers in this regard, but is generally easier to set up.

Here is a short selection of alternative UPnP server programs, although many others are available:

AssetUPnP (Windows, Linux) * **

Mezzmo (Windows) *

MediaTomb (Linux, Mac OS X) *

Serviio (Windows, Linux, Max OS X) *

TVersity (Windows) *

Twonky Media Server (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux) *

* = free of charge or trial versions with limited functionality are available

at the time of writing. ** = other platforms in development.

Please refer to the documentation for your chosen server program for full details of its conﬁ guration and usage. Some Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices and some routers include UPnP/DLNA server software.

Page 41

Accessing your audio ﬁ les via a UPnP server

Music Player

If your computer is running Windows 7 or 8, then Windows Media Player includes a UPnP server which will make your ﬁ les available to your radio. There are other UPnP server solutions available for non-Windows users and for Windows users who may wish to use an alternative (see the preceding page).

It is beyond the scope of this instruction book to cover all possible options for UPnP. We explain the use of Microsoft's Windows Media Player here since that will be the ﬁ rst choice for the majority of users.

Set up UPnP access with Windows Media Player

1. Windows Media Player version 12 (referred to here as WMP 12) can

create a library from all the media ﬁ les available to it on your PC. To add new media ﬁ les to the library, select 'Library', then 'Music', then 'All music' or 'Artist', 'Album' etc. This will show you the current library contents. You may then simply drag and drop ﬁ les from other locations into the library. Alternatively, with media ﬁ les or folders on the screen, you may right-click on the ﬁ le or folder and select 'Include in library' and then select 'Music'. In this way you can quickly add additional content to your music library.

2. In WMP 12, click on 'Stream' (see picture at right) and then select

'Automatically allow devices to play my media'. Then accept the 'Automatically allow all computer and media devices' option. There

are other options (see overleaf) but this is the simplest if you just wish to quickly enable media streaming to your radio.

3. Press and release the On/Standby button to switch the radio on. Then

press the Mode button as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown. The main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.

Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC - cont.

4. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Shared media' is highlighted

and press the control to select. The radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. It may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan. The radio will display '<Empty>' if no UPnP servers are found.

5. After scanning, select your UPnP server using the Tuning/Select

control. If you allowed automatic connection previously, your radio should now connect and you may skip to the next page.

If you did not permit automatic connections, your radio will then normally

display 'Unauthorised' at this stage.

6. Your PC may prompt you that there has been a connection to your

UPnP server. Whether prompted or not, in order that the radio may access the music ﬁ les, you will need to click the 'Library' tab in WMP 12 and select the 'Stream…' item to open the 'Media Streaming' window. Select 'Automatically allow devices to play my media' then select 'Automatically allow all computer and media devices'.

Alternatively select 'More Streaming options' to enable sharing on a

'per device' basis.

7. In the 'More streaming options' window, the radio may be listed as a

blocked device. Click on the button shown to select 'Allowed'.

Note: If you are using Microsoft's Windows' ﬁ rewall software, this

should be correctly conﬁ gured by WMP 12. If you are using third party ﬁ rewall software you may need to manually conﬁ gure it to allow your unit and WMP 12 to communicate (see the 'Troubleshooting' section on page 91).

8. On the radio, select the named server again using the Tuning/Select

control. If WMP 12 is now able to communicate with your radio you will be presented with some media selection options on the display.

Locating and playing media ﬁ les using UPnP

Music Player

Once the UPnP server has been conﬁ gured to share media ﬁ les with your radio, you may select the ﬁ les that you wish to play as follows:-

1. Press the On/Standby button to switch on the unit. Press the Mode

button as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown. The main Music Player menu will then be displayed.

2. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Shared media' is highlighted

on the display and then press the control to cause the radio to scan for UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan. The display will return to the Music Player menu if no UPnP servers are found.

3. After a successful scan, rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight

your UPnP server and then press the Tuning/Select control. If the display shows multiple media types, select 'Music'. (Some UPnP servers can serve pictures and video content to suitable devices.)

4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available

by the UPnP server - for example, 'Album', 'Artist' and 'Genre'. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight which category you wish to browse, then press the control to conﬁ rm your choice.

If you wish to use the search function rotate the Tuning/Select control

until 'Search' is selected on the display. You may select characters to build a keyword for searching for content to play.

When you ﬁ rst set up sharing with a UPnP server, not all of your ﬁ les will be available immediately. The UPnP server must look inside each ﬁ le to identify the artist and album information from 'tags' embedded in them. The server may also need time to access the Internet to obtain additional information such as 'album art' which it can display when you examine your music library on your PC. For a library of many ﬁ les this can take some time.

Media selection

When searching via UPnP you will have a selection of search criteria as determined by the UPnP server software on your computer. This allows you to search by a given information type (Album, Artist, Genre, etc.) and then to narrow the search to an album or to a particular track within an album.

Some UPnP server applications allow the search options to be customised. The searches described here are just examples of the possibilities.

Listening to a complete album

1. Use the Tuning/Select control to choose content by Artist, Album,

Genre, etc. according to your needs then press the control to enter your choice.

2. When you reach the album or folder the menu will then switch to

showing the tracks in that album or folder. When searching by UPnP they will normally be listed in track number order (but as with the search criteria, this can vary according to the server application used).

3. With the ﬁ rst track in the album indicated, press the Tuning/Select

control. The album will then begin playing.

While the radio is playing from your media library, you may use the menus as described above to choose a different selection. When you select the track from which to play, the radio will then immediately begin playing the new selection.

The Stream 107 is able to display the album art for the track being played. The ability of the radio to display art depends on the presence of the art in the ﬁ le being played, the art being not too large (or being re-sized by the server), and the ability of the UPnP server to send the art to the radio. Art sent to the radio needs to be in a JPEG format and no larger than 640 x 480 pixels. If the radio does not receive any art then a default icon is displayed. Some UPnP server applications will also send a default icon if no art is found within the ﬁ le being played. Some UPnP server applications will be able to re-size the art, if needed, before sending it to the radio. If the radio expects to receive art but none is provided then no art or icon will be displayed. Due to the wide variations in album art formats and UPnP/DLNA standards, the failure of the radio to display album art is not considered to be a fault.

Page 48

Playlists

Sometimes you may wish to set up a list of music tracks or albums which can then be played without further action - as background music for a party, for example.

Your radio can be conﬁ gured to hold a queue of up to 500 tracks in a playlist menu. The tracks or albums for the playlist can be selected from your UPnP server. The playlist is held in the memory in your radio until the external power is removed, or until the playlist is cleared from the menu.

Prune servers

Music Player

Your radio stores details of UPnP servers that it has seen via its network connection in its internal memory. If you use the radio at different locations you may ﬁ nd that there are servers listed by the radio that you are no longer interested in. The prune servers functions allows the list to be updated so that only active UPnP severs on the currently connected network are shown when selecting 'Shared Media' from the Music Player menu.

1. Press the Menu button to enter the main Music Player menu.

2. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Prune servers' is highlighted on the display. Press the control.

3. To remove servers that are no longer required rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'YES' is highlighted on the display. Press the control to cause the servers to be removed.

4. If you do not wish to prune servers rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight 'NO' and press the control to conﬁ rm.

Wake On LAN

If you are using a computer as a UPnP server for playing your music ﬁ les via your radio, you may not wish to keep that computer operating when you are not listening via your radio. If your computer is suitably conﬁ gured, it can either shut down, or enter a Standby or hibernation state when it is not being used.

Your radio can wake up a computer which has shut down using a Wake On LAN command via the network provided that the radio has previously connected to a UPnP server application on that computer. A computer which is not currently active will be shown with a question mark in the list of UPnP servers.

Many computers will not respond to Wake On LAN commands from the radio in all modes, and may require software, device driver, BIOS, hardware or router conﬁ guration changes for this function to operate. Failure of a computer to respond to Wake On LAN is not considered a fault of the radio.

Keep network connected?

If you use Windows 7 or 8, it is possible to choose a music album, track or playlist at the computer and then tell Windows that this should be played on the radio using the 'Play to' function.

Using suitable software (sometimes known as a UPnP Control Point), similar functionality is available for other computer types and for handheld devices using Apple's iOS or Android operating systems. In this mode the radio acts as a UPnP Renderer.

1. In order to use the 'Play to' function, the radio must be actively connected to the network. The ﬁ rst time that you use the 'Play to' function you will need to allow Windows to recognise your radio. To do this, please go to step 2.

If you have previously used 'Play to' so that Windows remembers

your radio and you have conﬁ gured your radio to keep its network connection in Standby mode (see 'Keep network connected', at left), then go to step 3.

2. If your radio is not currently in use, or does not have an active connection to your network, then you should ﬁ rst switch on your radio and select the Music player mode using the Mode button. Then select 'Shared media' from the menu so that the radio establishes a connection with Windows Media Player on your PC. After this step, all other functions may be performed from your computer.

3. At your Windows PC, locate the ﬁ le, album or playlist that you wish to play on the radio.

4. Use the right-hand mouse button to pop-up a menu of options for the chosen item and select the 'Play to' option.

5. Windows should show you one or more devices, including your radio, to which you may choose to send the music. Highlight the radio item and click with the left mouse button.

Page 53

6. Windows will then open a 'Play to' window showing the track or tracks to be played. Your computer will then take control of your radio. Your radio will enter the Digital Media Renderer mode (DMR) and after a few seconds the radio will start playing. The display on the radio will show that is it in DMR mode.

8. While playing, you may select additional content within Windows and again use the 'Play to' function (see steps 3 – 5). The additional tracks will be added to the playlist in the current 'Play to' window. You may also delete or change the order of tracks within the 'Play to' window.

9. When you wish to exit DMR mode, simply either switch off your radio or press the mode button to select a different operating mode.

Music Player

Don’t forget that in order to reselect the DMR mode and to be able to use 'Play to' from Windows you must ﬁ rst ensure that your radio has an active connection to your network (see steps 1 and 2 above).

Note: Some Windows security software can prevent correct operation of the 'Play to' function. Such software may have updates or conﬁ guration options which will permit 'Play to' to operate correctly - please consult your anti-virus software supplier. The 'Play to' function in Windows 7 and 8 has been tested successfully with the Stream 107 radio when using Microsoft’s own security software without problems (Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows 7, Windows Defender for Windows 8 / 8.1).

Streaming data rate - Spotify Connect

Your radio is able to stream content from Spotify at different data rates. If your internet connection has a low data usage allowance, or has a relatively low maximum data rate, you may wish to specify that your radio uses a lower data rate for Spotify connections. In some cases this may allow more reliable streaming, although at the expense of some loss of audio quality.

The data rate used for Spotify Connect is conﬁ gured via using a web browser. This is the same page this is used to change the Friendly Name of your radio.

1. Access the radio's conﬁ guration web page as described on page 90

of this instruction book.

2. The Spotify options at the top of the web page allow you to specify

the data rate used - either 96k, 160k or 320k bits per second. Select the rate according to your needs.

For example, listening at a rate of 320kbps for 1 hour each day for a

month equates to approximately 4.5 gigabytes of data usage. If you have a low data allowance you may wish to choose one of the lower data rates.

3. The new data rate will be used by Spotify Connect to stream music

to your radio when the radio plays from a new playlist.

Friendly name - Spotify Connect

Your radio is identiﬁ ed within the Spotify app using its Friendly Name. By default, your radio's name will be shown as "Stream 107" followed by a 12 digit alphanumeric code which is the network MAC address that is unique to your radio.

If you would like to change this name to something more personalised you may follow the instructions on page 90 of this instruction book.

Software update

From time to time, new software features for your radio may be developed. Your radio has therefore been

designed to allow its internal software to be updated using your Internet connection.

You should not attempt to update your radio unless it is recommended to you by Roberts Customer Services. Updating the software may remove all network settings, radio station presets and alarm settings from your radio.

It is important that you do not attempt this procedure unless you have a good Internet connection and a reliable mains power supply. Make sure that your WiFi connection is reliable before proceeding.

Your radio will not be able to update its software while it is running on batteries.

The 'Software update' option is accessed via the 'System settings' menu. When you select 'Software

update' the menu will display 'Auto check setting' and 'Check now'. If you want your radio to check periodically for new software versions rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight 'Auto check settings'. Then press the control and select 'YES'. If you do not want your radio to check for updates select the 'NO' option.

2. To check if there are any software updates available currently, rotate the Tuning/Select control to

highlight 'Check now' and then press the control. The radio will check to see if an update is available. The display will show 'Checking for new versions'. If there are no updates then the display will show 'Software up to date'. If a software update is available your radio will then offer the choice of updating the software or not, displaying 'New version available. Update software?'. Select the 'YES' option if you wish to go through the update process.

3 If you choose to update your radio it will ﬁ rst download the new software and will then reprogram its

internal memory. This may take anything from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the speed of your internet connection.

You may need to press Select control at each stage of the update.

4. Once the software update is completed, the radio will prompt you to press Select to restart. Press the

Tuning/Select control and your radio will then restart. You may ﬁ nd that you will need to reconﬁ gure your network connection following an update. You may also need to re-enter all radio station presets, alarm settings, and conﬁ guration options.

VERY IMPORTANT: Do not switch off the power to the radio until the update operation is complete

and the radio has restarted, otherwise the unit may become permanently damaged.

Network proﬁ les

Information

Each time that you connect your radio to a WiFi network, the radio will store the details of that connection (SSID, security key, DHCP/IP address settings) as a proﬁ le. Up to four such proﬁ les are stored in the radio so that if the unit is used in multiple locations there is no need to enter the network settings when returning to a location previously visited.

The radio stores the four most recent proﬁ les in memory identiﬁ ed by their SSID. Normally the radio will attempt to connect to one of the stored proﬁ les and only if it is unable to do so will you need to use the Network Wizard (see page 16).

In the event that you visit a location only once you may wish to delete the proﬁ le for the network in that location to avoid losing other proﬁ les.

1. Access the menu for the current mode by pressing the Menu button.

Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'System settings' is highlighted on the display. Press the control to enter the System Settings menu.

2. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Network' is highlighted on the

display. Press the control to enter the Network Settings menu.

3. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Network proﬁ le' is highlighted

on the display. Press the control to see the stored proﬁ les. The proﬁ le which is currently in use (if any) is marked with an asterisk.

4. To remove a proﬁ le from memory, rotate the Tuning/Select control to

highlight the proﬁ le to be deleted and then press the control.

5. The radio will offer a 'YES' or 'NO' selection. Rotate the Tuning/Select

control to select 'YES' and then press the control. The selected proﬁ le will be deleted.

If you experience any trouble with your radio, then you may ﬁ nd it useful

to visit the help section on our website.

If you have difﬁ culty connecting the radio to your computer network, some

of these steps may help to resolve the problem:

1. Conﬁ rm that a WiFi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.

2. Check that a DHCP server is available (normally a router function). Your radio will by default use DHCP unless you choose to disable it. This may be conﬁ gured using the menu items ‘Main Menu' -> 'System

settings' -> 'Network' -> 'Manual settings'. You then need to choose 'DHCP enable' or 'DHCP disable'. If you enable DHCP then the radio

will negotiate with your router (or DHCP server) and will be provided with an IP address as well as the other settings needed. If you wish to set the network conﬁ guration manually, refer to paragraph 6.

3. Check that your network’s ﬁ rewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80 and 123. Port 53 may be required for DNS. Some Internet radio services may require additional ports to be open. Windows Media Player 11 or 12 will allocate a port number for UPnP media sharing and will conﬁ gure Microsoft's Windows built-in ﬁ rewall appropriately. Other ﬁ rewall software may require conﬁ guration for UPnP or to allow particular IP addresses to have trusted access.

4. Check that your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses (sometimes called MAC address ﬁ ltering).

You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu items ‘Main

Menu' -> 'System settings' -> 'Network' -> 'View settings' -> 'MAC address'.

The MAC address will typically be of the form

00:22:61:xx:xx:xx

5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct encryption key into the radio. Remember that text-format WPA keys are case sensitive. If your radio displays 'Network error' when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, then please ensure that you enter the correct key for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to re-check your network conﬁ guration.

6. If you need to set up your radio's IP address manually, you will need to know low-level details of your network's conﬁ guration. Use the menu items ‘Main Menu' -> 'System settings' -> 'Network' -> 'Manual settings' -> 'Wireless' -> 'DHCP disable'.

The radio will then prompt you in turn for the

Ethernet IP address

Ethernet Subnet mask

Ethernet Gateway address

Ethernet Primary DNS

Ethernet Secondary DNS

If you are setting up a wireless connection manually you will also need

to enter the SSID, the encryption type, and the encryption key.

See page 17 for full details on how to set up your radio's network

conﬁ guration manually.

Troubleshooting - cont.

Information

If your radio can connect to the network, but is unable to play a particular

internet radio station, it may be due to one these causes:

1. The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day.

2. The station has reached its maximum allowed number of simultaneous connections.

3. The Internet connection between your radio and the server (often located in a different country) is slow. This could be due to internet congestion, either locally or at a distance.

4. The station may choose to block internet connections to your geographic region (sometimes known as geo-locking).

5. The station is no longer broadcasting. The database of radio stations that your radio connects to is frequently updated and checked but may not always be completely accurate.

6. The radio station is broadcasting using an audio format which is not playable by your radio (although the Stream 107 does play the most popular formats used by regular broadcasters).

Try using a PC to listen via the broadcaster’s web site or via the radio station database web site at http://www.wiﬁ radio-frontier.com. If you can play the station with a PC, it may be that the internet feed or local network connection is poor. However, some broadcasters (such as the BBC) provide different data streams for PC users and internet radio listeners, so this test is not always conclusive.

If you cannot play the station via your PC this may indicate that the problem is not necessarily due to your radio, but it could be your network, your internet connection, the broadcaster, or internet congestion.

Music Player / UPnP problems

The use of the Music Player function with UPnP should be straightforward. However, the power that UPnP offers by allowing devices to connect with each other means that it is often disabled by default by security applications such as third party ﬁ rewall software and in routers.

If you are using Windows Media Player (WMP) as your UPnP server, and if it fails to operate with your radio, please keep this fact in mind: A fresh

installation of Windows and Windows Media Player when using Microsoft's built-in ﬁ rewall software will normally work. If you have trouble getting

UPnP working it is generally because of some other software that has been added to your computer.

If UPnP does not work as expected, possible reasons may include:

UPnP functions blocked in ﬁ rewall software

UPnP functions turned off by security software

UPnP functions 'hi-jacked' by other software

UPnP functions blocked in the router

Multi-cast packets blocked in the router

IP address of system blocked in ﬁ rewall software

Some third-party UPnP servers are much less dependent upon other parts of Windows than WMP 11 or 12. If the greater ﬂ exibility that these offer is attractive, then it may be found in some cases that they are easier to get working.

Additional information concerning batteries

Rechargeable batteries

Your Roberts Stream 107 radio has been designed to use a choice of power sources. You may plug it into the mains using the supplied highefﬁ ciency adaptor, or for listening away from the mains you may use either alkaline or rechargeable batteries. We do not recommend the use of carbon-zinc or zinc-chloride batteries.

It is very important that you read the advice and warnings given below.

1) Whichever type of batteries you choose to use, it is very important

that the battery selection switch under the cover is set to the correct type.

a. If no batteries are ﬁ tted, then set the switch to the Alkaline position.

This position minimises the power consumption when the radio is powered from the mains.

b. If Alkaline batteries are ﬁ tted, then set the switch to the Alkaline

position.

c. If Rechargeable batteries are ﬁ tted, then set the switch to the

Rechargeable position. Your radio is designed to use Nickel-MetalHydride rechargeable batteries. No other type of rechargeable battery should be used in the radio.

2) NEVER mix old and new Alkaline batteries. The old batteries may

suffer damage and leak which will damage your radio and whatever the radio is standing on.

3) NEVER mix old and new Rechargeable batteries. This may

result in unreliable charging and shortened battery life. Never mix Rechargeable batteries of different types or capacities even if they are new.

4) NEVER mix Alkaline and Rechargeable batteries. The recharging of

Alkaline batteries can be very dangerous.

Your Stream 107 radio uses a range of methods to ensure correct and safe charging of Rechargeable Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries. These work to protect your batteries from excessive charge and discharge. These protections can only work properly if the advice above is followed. In particular, the radio will not be able to correctly charge batteries if they are a mixture of different brands, or different ages, or different capacities.

We recommend that all the rechargeable batteries used in your radio are bought together as a set. They should always be charged together and discharged together and not “borrowed” from time to time for other applications. This will ensure that they give their optimum performance in your radio.

We recommend that the rechargeable batteries that you use should be from a quality brand, and should be of greater than 2000mAh capacity. Batteries of 2500mAh capacity will typically be able to power your radio for betweeen 6 and 15 hours depending upon the operating mode, the volume setting, and the condition of the batteries. DAB and FM modes require less power than Internet radio. Setting the "Keep Network Connected" option to No will save power in DAB and FM modes (see page 20).

Before you ﬁ rst install a new set of rechargeable batteries into your radio you should ﬁ rst make sure that the battery type switch beneath the battery cover is in the Rechargeable position. Install the batteries arranging them as shown inside the battery compartment. Plug the mains adaptor into a mains socket and then into the radio. While the batteries are charging the charge indicator should show a ﬂ ashing green light. When the batteries are fully charged the indicator will stop ﬂ ashing and will show a steady green light. The time taken to charge the batteries will depend on how much charging they require. New batteries may be partly charged when ﬁ rst ﬁ tted, but it is normal for a set of batteries to take several hours to charge fully (this can be between 5 and 7 hours depending on the battery capacity and their initial state of charge).

Page 97

Rechargeable batteries cont.

Information

If you use the radio powered from the batteries, the battery light will be off until the batteries are exhausted. The battery light will then show red for a short while before the radio switches itself off. It does this in order that the batteries are not excessively discharged. This would otherwise damage the batteries and shorten their life.

If you use the radio powered from the mains with rechargeable batteries ﬁ tted, the charging process is suspended until you switch off the radio. When you switch off the radio using its On/Standby button charging will then resume. If the batteries have already been charged then they will only charge for a few more minutes before the charge indicator stops ﬂ ashing.

If you only listen to your radio for short periods, you do not need to connect your radio to the mains to charge the batteries every time that you use it. However, if the radio is not to be used for a few weeks, then we recommend that the batteries are fully charged (charge light shows steady green) before the radio is put to one side.

If you intend not to use your radio for some months, then we recommend that the batteries are removed and put away, keeping them in a cool place out of reach of children, away from moisture and such that no metal object can contact the battery terminals.

With care, rechargeable batteries can last a long time and can operate for many hundreds of charge and discharge cycles. When your rechargeable batteries can no longer power your radio adequately, please dispose of them thoughtfully.

To avoid danger and risk of injury, please follow these guide lines

Improper use of batteries may result in leakage of ﬂ uid, overheating or explosion. Battery ﬂ uid is corrosive and may also be toxic. Battery ﬂ uid can cause skin burns, can damage the eyes, and can be harmful if swallowed.

1. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

2. Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate or dispose of batteries by burning.

3. Do not mix different battery types or old and new batteries. Always replace all the batteries at the same time.

4. Do not carry or store batteries such that metal objects may contact the end caps.

5. Remove batteries from the radio if they are worn out or if you are storing it for a long time.

6. Remove old or worn out batteries promptly, and recycle or dispose of them according to the regulations applicable to your location.

7. If a battery does leak, remove all batteries from the product, taking care to avoid directly touching the leaked ﬂ uid. If the ﬂ uid contacts skin or clothes wash with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer’s advice for clean up.

Audio codecs

Your radio supports a range of audio codecs which provide compatibility with a wide range of Internet Radio stations. These also allow users to stream

music from their computers.

Note that for any given audio codec, there are many streaming protocols available, and thus even if an Internet Radio station uses a supported format, this does not guarantee that every such station will work with your radio. The radio stations database to which your radio connects is checked for compatibility so that most stations should be playable without problems. Similarly when streaming media from a computer, while a codec may be supported, there can be many subtle variations in formats, tagging schemes and protocols (even within UPnP). In general your radio will play the supported formats with most common UPnP servers.

The following table summarises the maximum supported bit-rates for the various audio formats that are playable on your radio. Higher rates may be playable in some cases but performance of the product may be affected.

Codec Maximum supported data rate

AAC (LC, HE, HE V2) 320 kbits/sec

FLAC

LPCM

MP3 320 kbits/sec

WAV 1.536 Mbits/sec

WMA

All codecs support 2-channel (stereo) coded ﬁ les only.

All codecs support sample rates up to 48 kbits/sec (includes 32 and 44.1 kbits/sec).

Files which have Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection applied will not be playable on your radio.

(1) 16 and 24 bit samples are supported in FLAC ﬁ les.

(2) The maximum supported bit-rate is for 48 kHz sampling, 2 channels and 16-bits per sample.

(3) WMA Lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional, and ﬁ les which have DRM protection are not supported.

(1)
