Before you can use this product
Before you can use your sound system, 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 or Ethernet connection, 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.
A smartphone or tablet which uses either the Android operating system (version 4.0.3 or later) or Apple iOS (version 8 or later).
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 sound system to communicate with the network, or your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
If you choose to connect the sound system to your network using a wired Ethernet connection, then an Ethernet cable of appropriate length will be needed. If it is intended to listen to FM radio extensively, then there may be benefi t in using a shielded Ethernet cable since this may reduce possible interference to the radio.
The sound system is compatible with 802.11b, g, n or a networks and can use 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi frequency bands.
If connecting using WiFi, the sound system 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 sound system is able to receive a suitable broadcast signal.
Introduction
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.

Connecting to your computer network
Before you can use your Stream 65i sound system 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 sound system to your network using either the wireless (WiFi) connection or the wired (Ethernet) 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 2 onwards).
1. The display will show a list of regional options for the WiFi confi guration.
Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight the required region (for the UK choose 'Most of Europe'),
and then press the Select button to make the selection. Do this even if you are planning to use the wired Ethernet connection. Your sound system will then scan for available WiFi networks.
2. The sound system will enter the Network Settings Wizard and will display 'Scanning...'. The sound system will
automatically scan both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi bands. After a short while the display will show a list of the available WiFi networks. If you are intending to use the WiFi connection, go to step 3 on the next page.
To use the Ethernet connection to your router (with automatic confi guration), press the Menu Up or Down
buttons to point to the '[Wired]' menu item. Press the Select button and the sound system will attempt to
connect.
If your network allows automatic confi guration (which is normal) the sound system will acquire a network
address. The screen should say 'Connecting...', and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Select button
to exit the setup wizard and show the Main menu. You can then skip to paragraph 10 on page 16.

Confi guration
There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you
have problems with your wired connection, they may help you to identify the possible cause of the problem.
Green ON = Link established; OFF = no connection
Yellow Flashing = Data transfer
If your network does not support automatic confi guration or if you wish to set
it up manually then you should select '[Manual con g]' instead of selecting '[Wired]' in the Network Wizard, then go to page 120.
3. If you plan to use a WiFi connection, 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 sound system 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.
It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your sound system will
nd more than one wireless network, in which case you should choose which one you need to connect to.
4. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons 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, also on the next page.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back button 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 Menu Up or Down and Select buttons 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 120.
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 sound system 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 Select button. 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 Select button
on the sound system. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the sound system.
'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 Select button on the sound system. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the sound system.
'Skip WPS' - if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously entered). If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup wizard completed'.
Press the Select button to exit the setup wizard and then go to paragraph 10 on the next page.

7. If your network is con gured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Select button to exit the setup wizard and show the Main menu. If
this is the case then you have successfully connected your sound system 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 sound system 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 the radio. WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters. Your sound system accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.
9. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the Menu Up or Down, Left or Right (on the remote control) and Select buttons. 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 Select button.
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 sound system 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 using the Menu Up or Down and Select buttons as needed:
select '

again to continue
select '
select '
' when the complete key has been entered

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 Select button. The screen will show 'Connecting...'
and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Select button to the exit setup
wizard. The sound system should now be able to connect to the network.
10. Once you have connected your sound system to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will display the Main menu. Press the On/Standby button to put the sound system into Standby mode. It should then display the time as obtained from the Internet. If the time display is not correct for any reason, it can easily be adjusted later, see page 92, 'Manually setting the clock'.

If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your sound system 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 22 onwards.
Changing the network connection
In the sections above, you chose how your sound system would be connected to your network, either using a WiFi connection or using a wired Ethernet cable. From time to time, you may fi nd that you need to connect to different computer networks. The Network Settings menu allows you to change your sound system’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 118. If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 22.
Confi guring the sound system 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 Menu Up or Down buttons to the desired network name. Press the Select button to select this network.
The sound system 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 15-16). By default the sound system will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from the network's router using DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol).

Internet Radio - the basics
Before you can use your sound system to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it is necessary to have connected it to your computer network using either the wireless (WiFi) connection or the wired Ethernet connection (RJ-45 socket) located on the back of the unit. Please see page 10 for details.
There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the Internet as well as 'Podcasts'. Your sound system 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 sound system, or add them to a list of your favourite stations which your sound system can access. The number of presets is limited (there are ten presets on the 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 sound system 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.
Internet Radio
Internet radio
The Stream 65i sound system 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.
22
Page 26
Selecting a radio station by location
1. Press the On/Standby button to switch the sound system on. Then press and release the Radio button to select the Internet Radio mode display.
2. Press and hold the Menu button to enter the main Internet Radio menu. Press and release the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'Station list' is highlighted on the display and then press and release the Select button to select the option.
3. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'Stations' is highlighted on the display and then press and release the Select button.
Note that the menu may offer one or more local selections based upon
the country in which the unit is being used, according to your internet IP
address ('United Kingdom' and 'BBC' stations, for example).
4. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'Location' is highlighted on the display and then press and release the Select button.
5. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to scroll through the list of continents. When the desired continent is highlighted press and release the Select button to enter your selection.
6. The display will show a list of countries within the chosen continent. If there are many countries shown you can scroll through the list continually in either direction. For example, if the chosen continent was Europe, then to fi nd the United Kingdom scroll up from the top of the list to the bottom by pressing and releasing the Menu Up button. Press and release the Select button to choose the desired country.
7. You will typically fi nd that you then have the option to select either 'All Stations' or one of a number of categories. The lists are always sorted
alphabetically, and long lists will wrap around from top to bottom or bottom to top.

8. Press and release the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight your chosen radio station and then press and release the Select button to enter your selection. The display will show 'Connecting...' while the sound system 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 28.
If your radio cannot connect to a radio station
Note: If your sound system 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 sound system 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 123.

Customising your sound system
Internet Radio
In addition to storing your favourite radio stations in the radio presets, your sound system 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 sound system 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
sound system. 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 sound system via the 'My Added Stations' menu item.
Registering an account
1. Open the web site http://www.wi 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. During the registration process the web site asks for an access code. This allows it to uniquely identify your Internet radio from the many others that it also provides data for. To obtain the access code, please follow these steps.
2. With your sound system switched on and in Internet Radio mode,
press and hold the Menu button, then select 'Station list' using the Menu Up or Down and the Select buttons.
3. Scroll down the Station List menu to the item called 'Help'. Press and release the Select button to enter the Help menu.

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 sound system.
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 sound system. 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 sound system. These stations will be available on your sound system 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.wi 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 sound system. 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 sound system. These stations will be available on your sound system 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 sound system. If you attempt to play such a stream, your sound system will normally display an error message of some kind. The Roberts Stream 65i 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.

Last Listened
Internet Radio
It is often helpful to be able to go back to a station that you have recently listened to. Your sound system has a 'Last Listened' feature which provides you with quick access to the ten most recently listened to radio stations or podcasts. As each new radio station is listened to the oldest item is deleted from the list. The Last Listened list is stored when the sound system is disconnected from the mains.
1. With the sound system switched on and in Internet Radio mode,
press and hold the Menu button. The rst item on the menu is 'Last listened'. With this item highlighted press the Select button.
2. The display will then show a list of the last ten Internet radio stations or
podcasts. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight whichever you wish to listen to and then press the Select button to cause your sound system to reconnect to that radio station or podcast.
Storing favourite stations with your radio
It is also possible to store your favourite radio stations whilst playing a station on your sound system.
1. Press the On/Standby button to switch on your sound system.
2. Tune to the required station using one of the methods described on the preceding pages.
3. Press and hold the Play/Pause button. The display will show 'Favourite

Music Player
Use with Windows, Apple Mac, Linux
The Music Player allows you to play audio fi les which are stored on a another device connected to your network.
Networked devices that could hold audio fi les can include computers, smart phones, tablets, Network Attached Storage (NAS) units, and network routers which have UPnP / DLNA fi le sharing capability. In order to play les from a device on your network, your sound system must connect to a fi le server program on that device which uses the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol (often known as DLNA).
If the device is a computer or tablet using Windows, then it probably already has a UPnP server program available in the form of Windows Media Player (WMP). This allows you to share your fi les to devices on your network, and you may then select fi les by Album, Artist, and so on using your sound system's controls. WMP can serve MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV fi les to your sound system (and FLAC fi les from Windows 10).
If you are an Apple MacOS, Linux, iOS or Android user, or if you have your audio fi les stored in other formats, such as ALAC, there are many other UPnP server programs available. Note that Apple computers do not support UPnP streaming natively and third party software is required for this task. If you wish to use a DLNA server built into your NAS or network router, you should consult your manufacturer's documentation on how this should be confi gured.
The Music Player on the sound system can play audio fi les in MP3, WMA, AAC, ALAC, 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 sound system.
Please note that when using a UPnP/ DLNA server, the search and selection criteria that are available to the user
are determined by the server software, and not by the device playing the content. Typical searches include Artist, Album and Genre. Many server applications also allow you to access your 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.
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 sound system.
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.
It is not possible in this book to describe server applications for all available environments, and neither is it practical to describe how to get the best out of each. Windows Media Player is used as an example in this case, although many of the principles are applicable to other servers as well. The access to the media, the choice of media for playing, and the use of the media playback controls from the product or from its controlling app are similar regardless of the UPnP / DLNA server being used.
When using your sound system as part of a group of multi-room products, audio fi les in ALAC and FLAC formats will only play on the group master (see page 124).

Accessing your audio fi les via a UPnP server
Music Player
If your computer is running Windows 7, 8, or 10, then Windows Media Player includes a UPnP server which will make your fi les available to your sound system. There are other UPnP server solutions available for non­Windows 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. At the time of writing, Windows 7, 8, and 10 all use Windows Media
Player version 12 (referred to here as WMP 12), and the confi guration is similar in each case. WMP 12 can create a library from all the media 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
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 sound system.
3. Press and release the On/Standby button to switch the sound system
on. Then press the Media 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. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'Shared media' is highlighted
and press the Select button to select. The sound system will scan for all available UPnP servers. It may take a few seconds for the sound system to complete its scan. The sound system will display '<Empty>' if no UPnP servers are found.
5. After scanning, select your UPnP server using the Menu Up or Down
and Select buttons. If you allowed automatic connection previously, your sound system should now connect and you may skip to the next page.
If you did not permit automatic connections, your sound system 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 sound system
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 sound system 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 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 123).
8. On the sound system, select the named server again using the
Menu Up or Down and Select buttons. If WMP 12 is now able to communicate with your sound system you will be presented with some media selection options on the display.

Locating and playing media fi les using UPnP
Once the UPnP server has been confi gured to share media fi les with your sound system, 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 Media
button as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown. The
main Music Player menu will then be displayed.

2. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'Shared media' is highlighted
on the display and then press the Select button to cause the sound system to scan for UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few seconds for the sound system to complete its scan. The display will return to the Music Player menu if no UPnP servers are found.
3. After a successful scan, press the Menu Up or Down buttons to
highlight your UPnP server and then press the Select button. 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'. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight which category you wish to browse, then press the Select button to confi rm your choice.
If you wish to use the search function Press the Menu Up or Down
buttons 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.

The Stream 65i is able to display the album art for the track being played. The ability of the sound system 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 sound system. 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.

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 sound system 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 sound system until the external power is removed, or until the playlist is cleared from the menu.
Adding a single track to your playlist
1. When selecting (or when playing) a track using a UPnP server press
and hold the Select button and the display will show 'Added to My
playlist'.
2. The track will be added to the playlist for playback later.
Adding an entire album or folder
3. When using a UPnP server highlight the chosen album, artist or folder
and press and hold the Select button. The display will show 'Added to My playlist'.
4. Each of the tracks within the album, artist or folder selection will be
added to the playlist individually. This allows any unwanted tracks to be removed from the playlist if needed (see the next page).

Windows 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' function
If you use Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 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 sound system using the 'Play to' function (called 'Cast to Device' in Windows 10).
Similar functionality is available for other computer types and for handheld devices using Apple's iOS or Android operating systems. In this mode the sound system operates as a Digital Media Renderer (known as DMR mode).
1. Ensure your sound system is plugged in and connected to your network.
2. At your windows PC, locate the fi le, album or playlist that you wish to play on the sound system.
3. Use the right-hand mouse button to pop-up a menu of options for the chosen item and select the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' option.
4. Windows should show you one or more devices, including your sound system, to which you may choose to send the music. Highlight the sound system item and click with the left mouse button.
5. Windows will then open a 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' window showing the track or tracks to be played. Your computer will then take control of your sound system. Your sound system will enter the Digital Media Renderer mode (DMR) and after a few seconds the sound system will start playing. The display on the sound system will show that is it in DMR mode.

6. While the sound system is playing in DMR mode you can use the controls in the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' window on your computer to skip tracks, fast-forward or rewind, to pause or restart, and to change the volume on the sound system.
You may also use the controls on your sound system to adjust volume,
display track information (press the Info button) or to change operating mode. It is not possible to skip tracks or pause playback using the sound system’s controls while it is in DMR mode.

The additional tracks will be added to the playlist in the current 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' window. You may also delete or change the order of tracks within the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' window.
8. When you wish to exit DMR mode, simply either switch off your sound system or select a different operating mode.
Note: Some Windows security software can prevent correct operation of
the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' function. Such software may have updates or confi guration options which will permit 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' to operate correctly - please consult your anti-virus software supplier. The 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' function in Windows 7, 8 and 10 has been tested successfully with the Stream 65i when using Microsoft’s own security software without problems.

Bluetooth mode
The Bluetooth mode on your sound system allows you to play audio, play sound from video fi les and stream music from Bluetooth capable devices
such as your moblie phone, computer, tablet etc. through your sound system's loudspeakers.
When a Bluetooth enabled device such as your Stream 65i sound system is in a discoverable state other Bluetooth devices can detect, pair with or connect
to it.
'Bluetooth pairing' occurs when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to establish a connection and communicate with each other.
Connecting Bluetooth devices
1. Ensure that the Bluetooth capability on your phone, tablet or PC is enabled.
You may need to refer to the user documentation for your device, since the method will vary with each device.
2. Press and release the On/Standby button to switch on the sound system.
3. Press the Media button on your sound system until the Bluetooth mode
is selected. Your sound system will show that it is discoverable and will
show 'No Connect...' on the display.
4. Using the Bluetooth settings of your phone, tablet or PC direct it to search
for discoverable devices. After a few seconds, you should see a device
named 'Stream-65i'. Just occasionally it may take longer for the sound
system to be found by your device.
5. Select 'Stream-65i' to cause your phone, tablet or PC to pair with your
sound system and to establish a connection.
6. Once the connection is established, a message will be displayed confi rming
the name of the connected device.
You can now begin playing music from your smart-phone, tablet, etc.

Some Bluetooth devices may require a 'Passkey' (an authentication key) in order to establish a link between devices. A passkey is similar to a password, although you only need to use the passkey once to establish a link. If your device asks for a passkey to be able to pair with your sound system then enter a code of 0000 (four zeroes).

When you have successfully connected your sound system with your chosen Bluetooth device you can start to play your music using the controls on the device.
Bluetooth
1. Once playing has started adjust the volume to the required setting
using the Volume buttons on your sound system or the connected Bluetooth device.
2. The volume of your sound system in Bluetooth mode is affected by
the volume settings on the sound system and also on the connected Bluetooth device.
If you adjust the volume control on the sound system but you fi nd that
the volume from the sound system is not suffi cient, it may be that the volume setting of the connected device needs to be increased.
3. The audio player in your phone, tablet or PC may be able to respond
to the Play/Pause, Next track and Previous track buttons on the sound system.
Note:That not all player applications or devices may respond to all of
these buttons.
4. If your connected device is able to provide information from the track
being played, you may press and release the Info button to display the Title, Album and Artist details on the display.

Bluetooth Information
Bluetooth
Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting to your sound system. All features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth devices.
A Bluetooth connection can provide a link for audio up to a distance of approximately ten metres. When pairing two Bluetooth enabled devices, for convenience, we recommend they should be no more than 2 to 3 metres apart.The presence of other functioning Bluetooth devices during connection may lead to operational diffi culties.
Bluetooth is a short-range radio communication system and generally Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other clearly within a regular sized room or offi ce. The reliability of a Bluetooth connection between different rooms will greatly depend upon the construction of the building.
Bluetooth communication range may be substantially reduced if the signal passes through a solid object. Human bodies, brick and concrete walls, heavy furniture or bookcases will all reduce the operational range of your Bluetooth devices to a greater or lesser extent. Glass, dry-wall or wood paneled walls and offi ce partitions may have a less severe but noticeable effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard, metal window frames and domestic wiring can also have an effect. You should position your Bluetooth devices closer to each other if you observe communication diffi culties.
WiFi networks and cordless phones generally use similar radio frequencies to Bluetooth and may interfere with one another. If any interference is noticed, then try relocating the sound system or one of the other devices.
The Bluetooth capabilities of your sound system enable it to receive audio from many Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal computers and tablets. Only one Bluetooth device can be connected to your sound system at a time. It supports the following Bluetooth profi les and functionality.
Your radio supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profi le) which is a stereo audio connection that streams stereo music from PCs, mobile phones etc. SBC and AAC audio codecs are supported.
Your radio supports AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profi le) which allows your radio to control music playback from the connected device.
Note: Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from your sound system when you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily mute their Bluetooth audio streaming when they receive text messages, emails or for other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with your sound system.

Page 76
Compact discs
Use only Digital Audio CDs which have the symbol.
Use only full size CDs (12cm diameter) with the sound system. Mini CDs (8cm diameter) are not compatible with the player and may jam the CD mechanism.
Transparent or partly transparent CDs cannot be played since they may not be detected when inserted. Unusually thin (Eco) CDs cannot be played. Some copy-protected CDs may not be playable.
Never write on a CD or attach any sticker to the CD. Always hold the CD at the edge and store it in its box after use with the label facing up.
To remove dust and dirt, breathe on the CD and wipe it with a soft, lint free cloth in a straight line from the centre towards the edge.
Cleaning agents may damage the CD.
Do not expose the CD to rain, moisture, sand or to excessive heat. (e.g. from heating equipment or in motor cars parked in the sun).
CD-R / CD-RW discs
Your Stream 65i sound system can playback CD-DA format audio CD-R/ CD-RW discs that have been fi nalised* upon completion of recording.
*Finalising enables a CD-R/CD-RW disc to playback on audio players such as your sound system. A disc which has not been fi nalised may have information added to it using a computer but may not always be playable. You may have to specifi cally enable the fi nalising step with some CD writing software.
Your sound system may fail to play some CD-R/CD-RW discs due to poor recording and wide variation in quality of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.

MP3 / WMA CD Mode
The Stream 65i sound system is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3 and WMA fi les. It is assumed in this section that a fi le is equivalent to a CD track.
An MP3 / WMA CD may not contain more than 511 fi les and not more than 99 folders. MP3 and WMA fi les should be created with an audio sample rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for fi les created from CD audio content). MP3 and WMA data rates up to 320 kilobits per second are supported. WMA Lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional and fi les which have DRM protection are not supported.
When burning CD-R and CD-RW discs with audio fi les, various problems may arise which could lead to problems with playback. Typically such problems are caused by poor CD writing or audio encoding software, or by the hardware settings of the PC's CD writer, or by the CD being used. Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD writer or software manufacturer or look in their product documentation for relevant information. When you are making audio CDs, take care to observe all legal requirements and ensure that the copyright of third parties is not infringed.
CD / MP3 / WMA
1. To select the CD mode press and release the Media button until 'CD'
shows on the display, or insert a suitably prepared CD-R or CD-RW disc.

Recording to SD / USB
Your Stream 65i sound system has been designed to allow you to make recordings to SD / SDHC cards or to USB connected memory devices. Recordings are made in MP3 format at 128k bits per second.
SD / SDHC or USB memory media must use the FAT16 or FAT32 fi le system in order to operate with the Stream 65i. Such media is usually supplied already formatted or can be formatted using a PC with a suitable card reader (for SD / SDHC cards) or USB connection (for USB memory).
It is possible to record onto media which already contains fi les written by the sound system or your computer. The recorded fi les will be added to those already present on the media.
Note: The recording feature is not available when using Spotify Connect or when the sound system is acting as a client in a multi­room group, please see page 102.
Making a recording
1. Select the desired source for the recording (Internet Radio, DAB, FM,
CD, etc.). Internet Radio is shown in the illustration. Set the volume to the required listening level (the volume of the recording will not be affected by this).
2. Insert the media on to which the recording is to be made.
3. Press the Record button. The display will show "Record initial...".
Recording will then start with the recording source shown on the display.
If only one media type is present, then after a short while recording will
start. If both SD and USB media are detected, then the sound system will default to the option previously set. The default media option is accessed through the 'System settings' menu then by selecting 'Rec default dest.'. Select 'SD card' or 'USB' memory as needed.

If recording from a CD, recording will be started from the beginning
of the currently playing track. Each track on the CD will be recorded as a separate fi le on the media.
4. In order to stop the recording press and release the Record button
once more. Recording will stop and a fi le will have been written to the storage media.
Files that have been written to the media are held in a folder called "RECORD". Recordings are held in sub-folders according to the source used for the recording.
The illustration shows the folders as they may appear on a PC running Windows with fi les in the CD folder being shown to the right. Other folders on the memory device were copied there from the PC.

BT - for recordings from Bluetooth devices
CD - for recordings from CD audio discs
COPY - for recordings from SD / USB / CD (MP3/WMA)
DAB, FM - for recordings from DAB and FM radio
IR - for recordings from interent radio
MP - for recordings from the music player
Note: The SD card / USB memory device should only be removed when recording is stopped. Removing media while recording is in progress may corrupt data on the card leading to the loss of fi les previously written.
The USB connection is intended to be used to allow the Stream 65i to play MP3 and WMA fi les from solid-state fl ash memory devices. The USB connection is not intended to be connected to other USB devices such as computers or hard disk drives. If you wish to play fi les from another music player, then we recommend that this is connected to the Auxiliary input socket - see page 114.

If you wish to make recordings from radio, we recommend recording from DAB radio if possible since it is generally less susceptible to interference than FM radio. If you need to record from FM radio, some interference may be picked up from the memory device unless you have a strong signal. The use of an external aerial for FM listening and recording can signifi cantly improve the FM signal under these conditions. The section "Aerial removal" on page 115 of this booklet explains how to remove the telescopic aerial so that an external aerial can be connected via coaxial cable to the antenna connector.

Recording MP3 / WMA fi les from CD / SD / USB
In addition to recording from conventional sources, the Stream 65i sound system can also record from MP3 or WMA fi les that have previously been written to CD, SD or USB media. In this case the fi les are copied rather than re-encoded to MP3 in order to avoid a reduction in quality. You may copy fi les from CD or SD to USB and from CD or USB to SD.
1. Select the desired source for the recording (SD, USB or CD).
2. Press the Play/Pause button to start playing the source media (if it
does not automatically start). Set the volume to the required listening level (the volume of the recording will not be affected by this).
3. Insert the media that the fi les will be recorded on to (SD or USB).
4. Press the Record button. The display will show "Record initial...".
5. If only one media type is present, the audio will stop while the source
media is taken back to the beginning of the current fi le. Recording will then start.
6. If both SD and USB media are detected, then the sound system
will default to the option previously set. The default media option is accessed through the 'System settings' menu then by selecting 'Rec default dest.'. Select 'SD card' or 'USB' memory as needed. The source media will be taken back to the beginning of the current fi le and recording will then start.
7. In order to stop the recording press the Record button once more.
Recording and playback will stop and all fi les that have been played will have been copied to the storage media.

Clock and Alarms
Automatically updating the clock
Your sound system will normally update the clock automatically when connected to the internet. If you enter a time setting manually, the sound system will calculate a local time offset which is then stored in memory. Whenever it synchronises the clock using the internet, including after a power failure, your sound system will then set the clock automatically using this information.
You may wish to use the sound system away from the internet, in which case you may specify that the unit sets its clock from DAB or FM radio broadcasts. After a power failure the sound system will then set its clock the next time that you turn on the radio in DAB or FM mode.
Alternatively you may specify that the time is not automatically updated. In this case the clock must always be set manually after a power interruption.
1. With your sound system switched on, press and hold the Clock set button
(on the remote control) and then skip to step 4 below. Alternatively press and hold the Menu button to access the menu for the current mode.
2. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'System settings' is highlighted
on the display. Press and release the Select button to enter the System Settings menu.
3. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'Time/Date' is highlighted on the
display. Press and release the Select button to enter the time setup.
4. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'Auto update' is highlighted on
the display. Press and release the Select button to enter the Auto Update menu.
5. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to choose an update option from
'Update from DAB', 'Update from FM', 'Update from Network' or 'No update' as required. Press and release the Select button to confi rm your choice.
The sound system will then exit to the previous menu display.
