About this instruction manual

This instruction manual is split into sections for each of the different operating modes of your Roberts ColourStream Internet Radio. Each section is clearly identiﬁ ed by the shaded heading in the top right hand corner of each pair of pages.

Before using the Internet Radio and Music Player functions, you will need to connect your radio to your computer network using either the WiFi or Ethernet 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) and USB playback is explained.

The Last.fm section explains the use of the radio in conjunction with the Last.fm internet based music streaming service.

The section for iPod Docking describes how to use your ColourStream to play audio ﬁ les or video soundtracks directly from your iPod.

The two sections for DAB Radio and FM Radio describes how to use the radio to listen to conventional radio broadcasts.

The section titled Clock and Alarms describes how the clock in the radio may be set, as well as explaining the use of the alarms, snooze and sleep timer features.

The Display and Audio section shows how to adjust the display, use the equaliser and connect your radio to other audio equipment.

Before you can use this product

Before you can use your radio, you must have the following:

● A broadband Internet connection (not required for DAB, FM or Music Player functions).

● A wireless access point (WiFi) or a wired Ethernet connection connected to your broadband Internet Service Provider, preferably via a router. In many cases the broadband modem, router and wireless access point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service Provider or bought from a computer store.

● If your wireless network is conﬁ gured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) data encryption then you either need to know the WEP, WPA or WPA2 key used for encryption so you can get the radio to communicate with the network, or your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).

If connecting using WiFi, 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 wireless access point or router is powered up and working with your broadband Internet service (use your computer to verify this). To get this part of the system working you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point or router.

Using the touch screen

Introduction

The ColourStream internet radio has a high resolution colour display with touch sensitive controls. When using the internet radio, the display shows only the controls that are needed at each stage of its operation. To operate the controls simply touch the button area with the tip of a ﬁ nger for about half a second until the command has been accepted.

You may ﬁ nd that at ﬁ rst, the internet radio does not always detect that you have touched a button. If so, try touching with a little more pressure, or for slightly longer. You will soon ﬁ nd the optimum touch needed to control your internet radio.

The panel may be cleaned using a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives, cleaning ﬂ uids or solvents.

Navigation controls on the touch screen

This section describes the basic means of controlling your ColourStream internet radio. Instructions for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.

1. Pressing the On/Standby control brings your radio out of Standby mode.

Pressing the On/Standby control while the radio is in use will cause

it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display.

2. Touching the Mode buttons on the Home menu screen gives you access to each of the operating modes: DAB radio, FM radio, Internet radio, Last.fm, iPod, My Music, Auxiliary Input, Alarms and Settings.

3. Touch the Menu bar on screen to access a high level menu for the current operating mode. Touching the bar a second time will normally cause the radio to revert to the previous display or menu.

4. Touch the Home button to return to the main home menu.

5. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. This is done by touching the relevant item on the touch screen.

If there are more than four items in a menu, then you will need to

touch the Up or Down arrows so that the additional items become visible. The sliding scroll bar on the right will give an indication showing the current portion of the menu that is displayed. Pressing the area between the arrow and the bar will cause the menu to scroll further if there are many items.

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.

6. 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 on the screen.

7. Touch the Close button to exit the current mode. The display will return to the home menu screen.

Conﬁ guration

If your network allows automatic conﬁ guration (which is normal) the radio will

acquire a network address. The screen should say 'Connecting...', and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard, the radio will enter Standby mode. You can then skip to paragraph 20 on page 16.

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.

Yellow ON = Link established; OFF = no connection

Yellow Flashing = Data transfer

Green ON = 100 Mbits/sec link; OFF = 10 Mbits/sec link

If your network does not support automatic conﬁ guration or if you wish to set

it up manually then you should select Manual Settings instead of selecting Wired in the Network Wizard, then see page 18.

13. 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 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.

It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will ﬁ nd more

than one wireless network, in which case you should choose which one you need to connect to.

14. Scroll through the list to see the SSID for each wireless network that has been found. If your network is shown proceed to step 16 on the next page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 15.

If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back button to go back to the previous screen.

15. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is conﬁ gured not to broadcast the SSID. You should then scroll through the menu and select Manual settings option in order to enter the network details manually. This is described in 'Manual Network Conﬁ guration', see page 18.

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.

16. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to appears on the screen, touch to select. If WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) was indicated, you will see an additional menu at this point, otherwise proceed to step 17.

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 or access point and touch OK on screen. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically 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). Then touch OK on screen 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.

If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show 'Connecting...'

and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard and then go to paragraph 20 on the next page.

17. If your network is conﬁ gured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard and enter Standby mode.

If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to

your network, so please go to paragraph 20 on the next page.

18. If the screen displays 'Network 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). Press the '123'

button, then press again when it shows 'hex'. This provides a simpliﬁ ed keyboard layout for the WEP key entry. Some wireless routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported.

WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters.

Your radio accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.

19. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters see page 11. Enter characters 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.

After the ﬁ nal character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered touch the tick

symbol. The screen will show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard. The radio should now be able to connect to the network.

20. Once you have connected your radio to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will go 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 70, '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.

Changing the network connection

In the sections above, you chose how your radio 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 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 85. 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 'Settings'> 'Network settings' menu touch Network wizard. This will present you with details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list and touch the desired network name.

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 15 - 16). By default the radio will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.

Conﬁ guring the radio to use the wired Ethernet connection

2. Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ-45 socket (marked LAN) at the back of the unit. From the 'Settings'>'Network settings' menu touch Network wizard. This will present you with details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list and touch the <Wired Network> option.

The radio will then use its Ethernet connection to communicate with the network. By default the unit

will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.

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 'Settings'>'Network settings' menu, touch Manual settings. You must then choose whether to connect using 'Wired' or 'Wireless' connections. If you choose 'Wireless' there are as many as eleven settings screens, shown by the '1 of 11' progress marker at the top of the display. If you choose 'Wired' there are seven screens and the progress marker will reﬂ ect this, although the steps to set up the network parameters are basically the same.

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 Yes unless you need to specify the network details manually.

If you have chosen 'Wired' and then DHCP Yes, your radio should now establish a connection to

the router using the Ethernet cable. Please skip to step 11 on page 20.

If you chose 'Wireless' and DHCP Yes, please skip to step 6 on page 19 in order to set up the

wireless connection details.

If you chose DHCP No for either connection method, 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 (

Text entry is described on page 11). The display may show an address of 0.0.0.0. To delete a character touch backspace. To clear, touch and hold the backspace. Use digits and fullstop to enter the IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.25. Touch the tick symbol to conﬁ rm. 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 System) will be set to the same IP address as your router (192.168.1.1 in the example shown). In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero.

Text entry is described on page 11. Touch the tick symbol to conﬁ rm.

If you previously speciﬁ ed 'Wired' and then 'DHCP No', your radio should now connect to

the router using the Ethernet cable (in which case skip to step 11).

6. If you speciﬁ ed 'Wireless', 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 see text entry on page 11. 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.

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 'Pre-Shared' 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' 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. Spaces or special symbols are not permitted in WEP keys. Use the '123' then 'hex' buttons to access a keyboard for WEP key entry.

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.

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 (if using the WiFi connection) 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 radio.

Internet Radio - the basics

Before you can use your internet radio 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 12 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 radio stations which you like, you may add them to a list of your favourite stations which your radio can access. You can store as many favourites as you like.

You may search for an internet radio station by Location. If you know the name of the station and the country from which a station is broadcast this may be the easiest method to ﬁ nd a station. It is also a great way to experience radio from other parts of the world.

You may also search for an internet radio station by Genre. If you prefer a particular type of music, Blues for example, you may search for a radio station that broadcasts that type of music, and you can choose from a list of Blues radio stations regardless of location, or taking location into account.

If you know part of the name of an internet radio station, you can enter it into the radio and it will search for stations that match that name. This can be helpful if you are unsure of the location or genre of a particular station.

The ColourStream 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.

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 87.

Selecting a New or Popular station

As described in the section 'Internet Radio - the basics' on page 21, your radio connects via the Internet to a database of radio stations. This option is provided to highlight stations which are newly added to the list of those available, or stations which are particularly popular with listeners around the world. Your radio allows you to easily choose stations from these two categories, using menus similar to those used when ﬁ nding stations by location and genre.

New and Popular stations are accessed from the Stations menu.

Last Listened

It is often helpful to be able to go back to a station that you have recently listened to. Your radio has a 'Last Listened' feature which provides you with quick access to the 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 radio is disconnected from the mains.

Selecting a podcast / BBC Listen Again

Internet Radio

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.

Internet Radio

Select the Internet Radio menu bar once or twice to enter the Internet menu list.

Touch Browse station list, then select Podcasts.

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.

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

These features are dependent on the programme or podcast and will not always be available.

Customising your radio

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.

Use with Windows, Apple Mac, Linux, USB memory

Music Player

The Music Player allows you to play audio ﬁ les which are stored on a computer on your network or on a USB memory device plugged into the radio.

In order to play ﬁ les from a computer on your network, your radio must connect to a ﬁ le server application which uses the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol. If your computer uses Windows 7, Vista or XP, then it is likely that your computer already has a UPnP server application available. Windows Media Player (versions 11 and 12) has this capability, and it is able to make your ﬁ les available to your radio. It also allows you to select ﬁ les by Album, Artist, and so on.

Windows Media Player 12 can serve MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV ﬁ les to your radio. Windows Media Player 11 is only able to serve MP3 and WMA ﬁ les to your radio. If you have your audio ﬁ les stored in the FLAC format, or if you are an Apple Mac or Linux user, there are other UPnP server applications which you may use with your radio.

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 it will convert these to a compatible format before streaming them to the radio. 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.

When using a UPnP server, the search and selection criteria are determined by the server software, but typically include 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, but is generally easier to set up. It is supplied as a standard component of Windows 7, Vista or XP.

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 11 and 12) you may see the option of choosing between 'Music', 'Video' and 'Pictures' on the Music Player's menu. 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.

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

Twonky Media Server (Windows, Apple Mac, Linux)

TVersity (Windows) *

Elgato EyeConnect (for Apple Mac OS X) *

MediaTomb (Linux, MAC OS X) *

* = free of charge versions available at the time of writing

Please refer to the documentation for your chosen server application for full details of its conﬁ guration and usage.

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on 020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)

Accessing your audio ﬁ les via a UPnP server

If your computer is running Windows 7, then Windows Media Player version 12 includes a UPnP server which will make your ﬁ les available to your radio. If you have Windows Vista or XP please see page 89. 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 12

1. Windows Media Player 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 the On/Standby control and select the My Music mode button from the home menu screen. The main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.

4. Touch Shared Media. 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 'No UPnP service' if no UPnP servers are found.

5. After scanning, select your UPnP server. 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 will be listed as a blocked device. Click on the button shown to select 'Allowed'.

Note: If you are using Microsoft 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 87).

8. On the radio, select the named server again. 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

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:-

From the home menu select My Music mode button.

My Music

Select Shared Media to cause the radio to scan for UPnP servers. Note: that it may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan.

After a successful scan, select your UPnP server. If the display shows multiple media types, select Music. (Some UPnP servers can serve pictures and video content to suitable devices.)

The radio will now list the media categories which are made available by the UPnP server - for example, 'Album', 'Artist' and 'Genre'. Select the category you wish to browse.

If you wish to use the search function touch Search. You may select characters to build a keyword for searching for content to play. Text entry is described on page 11.

When you ﬁ rst set up sharing with a UPnP server, it is likely that 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

Music Player

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

Touch Artist, Album, Genre, etc. according to your needs.

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).

With the ﬁ rst track in the album indicated, touch the track and the album will begin playing.

While the radio is playing from your media library, you may use the menus as described page 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.

Using USB memory devices

This section describes how to use your radio to access and playback your audio ﬁ les via USB memory devices. USB memory devices plug into the rectangular slot located behind the panel beneath the rotary volume control. To open pull the front panel downwards.

Important: Your radio is only designed to work with USB ﬂ ash memory devices. It is not intended to be connected to hard disk drives or any other type of USB device.

The ColourStream radio has been tested with a range of USB memory devices of up to 64GB capacity. USB memory must use the FAT or FAT 32 ﬁ ling system in order to operate with the radio. It is possible to use SD or SDHC cards for media storage and playback when held in a suitable USB adaptor. However, due to the wide variation of such adaptors, it is not possible to guarantee that all adaptor / card combinations will work in the radio.

Audio formats supported are MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC and WAV. USB playback does not support ﬁ les encoded using WMA lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional, nor ﬁ les of any format which have DRM protection.

Music Player

Recommendations:

Unless you have only a few ﬁ les on the USB memory device, do not place all ﬁ les in the root folder.

The number of items (ﬁ les/sub directories) in any directory should be less than 2000.

Searching and playback will be more responsive if the number of ﬁ les in any one folder is limited (we suggest not more than 250).

It is recommended that the USB memory is reformatted in your computer before adding your music ﬁ les.

The maximum depth of folder nesting permitted is 8 directory levels (but playback is only from the currently selected folder).

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on 020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)

Cautions:

In order to minimise the risk of damage to your radio or your USB memory, please place the unit such that the memory device cannot easily be knocked while it is inserted in the socket.

Remove the USB memory before carrying the unit or if not using the USB feature for a prolonged period.

Place the unit in Standby mode before removing your USB memory device.

Note: Shufﬂ e and Playlist functions are limited to 500 tracks.

Playing ﬁ les from USB memory devices

Carefully insert the USB memory device into the USB slot. Press the On/Standby control to switch on the radio.

The radio may detect that the memory has been connected, in which case it will ask whether you wish to open the folder view of the memory contents. Touch Yes .

If the USB memory was not automatically detected, proceed as follows.

Select My Music mode button then select USB playback, the radio will now list the content stored on the USB memory device. If there are many ﬁ les or folders this may take a few seconds.

Touch the required folder. The list of tracks in the current folder will be displayed. Alternatively, if you have nested folders (such as album folders within an artist folder) then you will simply step to the next folder level.

Touch the track to begin playing. All ﬁ les in the current folder will then be played in turn.

Files are played in the order in which they exist in the ﬁ ling system of the USB memory (they are not sorted by ﬁ le name or track number).

Controlling playback from the USB memory device including Shufﬂ e and Repeat functions is explained on page 38.

The shufﬂ e play function may only be used if the current selection comprises fewer than 500 tracks.

Note: When playing from USB media, the information displays is limited to the ﬁ lename. The display of tags and album art is not supported.

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 and from a USB memory device. The playlist is held in memory in your radio until external power is removed, or until the playlist is cleared from the menu.

Adding a single track to your playlist

When playing a track using a UPnP server or a USB memory device touch and release Add to Playlist button and the display will show 'Added to My playlist'.

The track will be added to the playlist for playback later.

Adding an entire album or folder

When using a UPnP server or a USB memory device scroll to the chosen album, artist or folder and touch and hold until the display changes to edit mode with an add symbol allowing you to add entire albums to the playlist. Touch the add symbol and the display will show 'Added to My playlist'.

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 next page).

Last.fm - the basics

Last.fm

Last.fm is an Internet-based on-line music service with millions of tracks available which you can access using your radio, your computer and other devices. It plays personalised interactive radio stations based on your choice of artists and songs, your listening history, and similar tracks based on the preferences of other Last.fm listeners with similar music tastes. This can introduce you to a new range of artists and tracks which you will probably enjoy but which you may never have heard before.

Before you can use Last.fm with your radio, you will need to have created an account at the Last.fm web site. You can then start to listen to radio stations initially based on particular artists or tags/genres.

Last.fm is available on various platforms and computer media players. Any personalisations that you make to your account from one platform are reﬂ ected on the others.

Last.fm has a strong emphasis on interaction with other listeners, sharing your favourite music and exploring other users’ playlists and stations, both directly, and through social networking sites. There are also privacy options that you can apply to your account using the Last.fm web site.

Scrobbling and Love / Ban features

Scrobbling is the method that Last.fm uses to learn about your listening habits. Your radio can ‘scrobble’ the tracks that you listened to using the UPnP Music Player and Last.fm modes. This sends track names to Last.fm, adding them to your Last.fm library, and helps the service to tailor its future recommendations to your musical tastes.

Using two dedicated buttons on the radio, you can tell Last.fm that you love particular tracks, or you can ban a track from ever being played again. This also inﬂ uences the tracks you are offered in the future.

User accounts

In order to use the Last.fm service with your radio, you must either create a Last.fm account or already have one set up. This account keeps track of your musical preferences and listening choices and is what makes the music offered by Last.fm personal to you. Setting up an account is simple and is done via the Last.fm web site. You then enter the account details into your radio (see the following pages).

The radio allows more than one set of Last.fm account details to be entered. If the unit is used by more than one person, it is possible to choose which account is used when listening to Last.fm and for scrobbling from the Music Player.

The features of the Last.fm service are only available on the radio with a subscription to Last.fm. This may differ from the range of features available when accessing the Last.fm service from a computer or any other device. The provision of the Last.fm service and the features offered with and without subscription are subject to terms and conditions set out on the Last.fm web site.

Your Roberts ColourStream radio offers you a subscription level account with Last.fm for a limited trial period. You may optionally extend this using the subscription facility via the Last.fm web site at www.last.fm.

Listening to Last.fm

Last.fm can present music tracks according to several criteria. You may choose from the following options:

'Create Artist Radio' - Plays a selection of tracks by a speciﬁ ed artist and other similar artists.

You choose an artist by entering their name or part of their name and then choose from the search results.

'Create Tag Radio' - Plays a selection of tracks tagged with certain keywords. You pick a

tag word or genre by entering a word or phrase and then choose from the search results.

Note that it is advisable to be as exact as possible when entering tags or genres. For example,

enter BOLLYWOOD rather than BOLLY. Tags are user-generated and fed to Last.fm via the scrobbling process, so there can sometimes be spurious tags connected to only a few tracks, which may give an Insufﬁ cient Content error when searching.

'Your Library' - Plays all tracks scrobbled to your proﬁ le, or tracks by artists you’ve added

to your library. This information can be edited on the Last.fm web site.

'Your Recommendations' - Plays tracks recommended to you based on your music proﬁ le

and that of other listeners with similar tastes.

'Your Loved Tracks' - Plays tracks selected from those that you have previously rated as

‘Loved’, either when listening with your computer, or with the Love button on the radio.

'Your Neighbourhood' - Plays tracks from the libraries of people on Last.fm with similar music

taste to yours.

Last.fm

'Your Recent Stations' - This option lists your most recent Last.fm selections.

'History' - This option lists the last tracks you have listened to, most recent tracks ﬁ rst. Note

that this is a display-only option - you cannot select a track from the list and listen to it again on demand.

Display information

When playing a Last.fm track the display shows the Artist, Album, description, a progress bar, account name, bit rate, codec and sampling rate of the track.

iPod docking

Your ColourStream radio has an iPod dock facility which allows you to play digital audio ﬁ les and video soundtracks held on your iPod directly. Video is only displayed on your iPod.

The ColourStream uses the Universal Dock Connector developed for use with iPods. iPods currently manufactured are supplied with adaptor inserts which ensure correct alignment of the iPod with the electrical connector. Should you require an insert to use your iPod with the ColourStream, then please contact an iPod accessories supplier.

Ensure that the radio is in standby.

Place the iPod docking adaptor into the iPod docking recess so that it is securely seated.

Carefully place your iPod on the universal iPod dock connector then press the On / Standby button to switch on the radio. To avoid possible

damage to either device, do not use your iPod without the correct adaptor ﬁ tted in the dock connector.

The radio may detect that the iPod has been connected, in which case it will ask whether you wish to switch to iPod mode. To switch to the iPod mode select Yes. Select No if you do not wish to select the iPod mode.

If your iPod is not detected follow the procedure on next page.

If this is the ﬁ rst time that DAB mode is used a quick scan of the Band III DAB channels will be carried out. The display will show 'Scanning in progress'. (If the radio has been used before the last used station will be selected instead).

During the scanning process, as new stations are detected the station counter will increase and the stations will be added to the list which is stored in the radio. The bar graph indicates the progress of the scan.

When scanning is completed the radio will list the stations found (in

numeric-alpha order 0....9...A...Z), unless it has previously been tuned

to a DAB station.

Touch the Up or Down arrows or press the area between the arrow and the bar to scroll further to view the list of stations.

To select desired station touch the station name that you wish to tune to. The radio will retune to the selected station. Use the volume control to set the sound level as needed.

A question-mark in front of the station merely indicates that the station has not recently been detected by the radio. It may still be available.

If the station list is still empty after the scan the display will show 'No signal please adjust your radio'. If no stations are found it may be necessary to relocate your radio to a position giving better reception.

Software update

Information

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. If the radio connects to your router using a WiFi connection, make sure that this is also reliable before proceeding.

From the home menu press the Settings mode button.The

If you

want your radio to check periodically for new software versions select

Enabled to proceed. If you wish to disable the software update select Disable.

To check if there are any software updates available currently, touch Check for Updates. The radio will check to see if an update is available. The

display will show 'Checking'. 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?'. Touch Yes option if you wish to go through the update process.

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 a few minutes depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Once the software update is completed, the radio will prompt you to 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

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 17).

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.

From the home menu press the Settings mode button.The main

Troubleshooting

If you experience any trouble with your radio, then you may ﬁ nd it useful to visit the help section on our web site at

http://www.robertsradio.co.uk/pages/colourstream_faq.htm

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 'Settings' > 'Network settings' -> 'Manual settings'. This will ask ﬁ rst whether you wish to conﬁ gure a wired or a wireless connection. For either wired or wireless you then need to choose 'DHCP Yes' or 'DHCP No'. 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.

You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu items 'Settings'

-> 'Network settings' -> 'Current Network 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 'Settings' > 'Network settings' > 'Manual settings' -> 'Wired' or 'Wireless' (as needed) -> 'DHCP No'.

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 18 for full details on how to set up your radio's network

conﬁ guration manually.

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

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 ColourStream 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 cleverness of UPnP means that it is often disabled by default by security applications and in routers.

If you are using Windows Media Player 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 it does not work, 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.

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on 020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)

Accessing your audio ﬁ les via a UPnP server using Windows Vista and XP

If your computer is running Windows Vista or XP, then Windows Media Player version 11 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).

Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC

1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP then you can use Microsoft's Windows Media Player version 11 to act as your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server. If not already installed on your PC, Windows Media Player 11 may be downloaded from Microsoft’s web site and installed by following the instructions detailed in its installation wizard, or by using Microsoft's Windows Update facility.

2. Once installed, Windows Media Player 11 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 the 'Library' tab, then 'Add to Library… > Advanced Options', click 'Add', choose the ﬁ les you wish to add and click ‘OK’.

The next step is to connect your radio to Windows Media Player 11 and to conﬁ gure the program to allow the radio to access your media library.

Selecting Media Sharing in Windows Media Player 11

3. Press the On/Standby button to switch the unit on. Then touch the My Music mode button until the main 'Music Player' menu is displayed.

My Music

Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC - cont.

Information

Touch Shared media. 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 'No UPnP service' if no UPnP servers are found.

4. After scanning, select your UPnP server. If you are using WMP 11 as the server, your radio will then normally display 'Unauthorised ' at this stage.

5. 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 11 and select the 'Media Sharing…' item to open the 'Media Sharing' window. Make sure the box 'Share my media to:' is ticked.

6. In the 'Media Sharing' window, the radio will be listed as an unknown device. Click on the unknown device shown to select it, then click the 'Allow' button and then click 'OK'.

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

be correctly conﬁ gured by WMP 11. If you are using third party ﬁ rewall software you may need to manually conﬁ gure it to allow your unit and WMP 11 to communicate (see the 'Troubleshooting' section on page 87).

7. On the radio, touch the named server again. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with your radio you will be presented with some media selection options on the display.

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 or to play directly from USB ﬂ ash memory devices.

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.

Bit-Rates

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 rate

AAC (LC) 320 kbits/sec

FLAC

LPCM

MP3 320 kbits/sec

Real Audio 64 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 a 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.
