Page 8

Before you can use this product

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

● A broadband Internet connection.

● A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) or a wired Ethernet connection (10 or 100 Mbits/sec with RJ45 connection) connected to your broadband Internet, 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 conﬁgured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption then you need to know the WEP or WPA key so you can get the Internet radio to communicate with the network.

The Internet 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.

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.

Navigation controls

1. The majority of functions on your radio may be performed by using the Rotary

control on the front panel. Turn the control clockwise or anti-clockwise to highlight the desired function, and then give a short press on the

Rotary control to select that function. In this instruction

booklet, press always means press and release. Where a

long

press is needed to perform an operation this is speciﬁcally stated in

the text.

When not being used for navigating the system menus, the rotary control simply acts as a conventional volume control.

The rotary control also has an additional function. When listening to

the radio, a long press of the control will provide access to a menu to allow adjustment of bass and treble settings.

2. Your WM-201 radio is supplied with a compact remote control. All functions can be performed using this. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. Use the Up and Down buttons in the group labelled MENU to highlight the desired function. Then press the Select button.

3. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back to the previous menu by pressing the Back button on the remote control.

So that the radio can be used without the remote control, menus also include a Back option which takes the user to the previous menu. This can be accessed using the front panel Rotary control or via the remote control. In this instruction book the words 'Back option' refer to either of these methods.

Connecting your radio to your computer network

1. Place your radio on a ﬂat surface and plug the mains lead into the Mains input socket located on the rear of your radio (marked 'AC in') ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.

2. If planning to use a wired network connect the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 socket at the back of the radio. If a wired connection is present then the radio will use this in preference to a wireless connection.

3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on the wall socket.

IMPORTANT: The mains plug is used as the means of connecting

the radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the mains completely, the mains plug should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.

4. The display on the front of the radio will light up and say: 'Roberts Internet Radio'. If you are using a wired Ethernet connection to your router, the radio should connect, and download a radio station list update. It will then go to the main mode menu, see page 14, 'After you have connected to your network'.

If you are not using a wired connection, or if the wired connection is

not working, after a few seconds the display will change to show 'Scan for networks', see page 12.

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.

Connecting to a wireless network

1. When the display says 'Scan for networks', press the Select control. The radio will now scan for all available wireless networks and will show 'Scanning'.

2. If the radio cannot ﬁnd a network then the display will say 'No Wireless Networks Found'. If this happens then you will have to get your wireless access point working - please see the instructions supplied with it.

3. When the radio ﬁnds your wireless network, it displays the Network Name (ESSID) for the access point on the screen. This is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network

- for example: 'My Home Network'.

4. It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will ﬁnd more than one wireless access point, in which case you should choose which one you need to connect to.

5. Rotate the

Select control to see the ESSID for each access point that the radio has found. If your network is shown proceed to step 7 on the next page.

6. If your network is not found, it is possible that it is conﬁgured such that the ESSID is not broadcast (sometimes referred to as hidden). If this is the case then use the Back option and then select 'Enter network name'. This procedure is described in the 'Network Conﬁguration Menu', see page 52, 'Entering the network name manually'. If you know that your network name is not hidden, and it was not found,then either try re-scanning, or refer to 'Troubleshooting' on page 53.

If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back option to go back to

the previous screen.)

7. When the ESSID for the access point you want to connect to is highlighted on the screen, press the Select control.

8. If your network is not conﬁgured to need an encryption code, the screen should say 'Connecting to network', then 'Network OK'. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please proceed to the section 'After you have connected to your network' on the next page.

9. If the screen displays either 'Enter WEP key' or 'Enter WPA key', it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your network.

If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should obtain it from

the person who set your network. Some Wi-Fi routers may come with a key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the user documentation provided with it.

WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some

Wi-Fi access points can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these do not conform to a deﬁned standard and are not supported. WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters. Your Internet radio can accept pass-phrases for WPA keys.

If the WEP or WPA key was previously entered and the radio has not

had a factory reset the display will show 'Using saved key' and should then connect to the network.

9. After 3 seconds, the display goes into the key entry mode. To enter the key, use the knob to select each character of the key in turn, pressing the Select control after each character. Remember, WEP keys only use the numbers 0 - 9 and letters A - F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly.

10. If you make an error use either the

Back key on the remote control

to delete the character entered, or give a long press on the

Select control. Use the left and right arrows to move the block cursor to access incorrectly entered characters.

11. After the ﬁnal character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, locate the 'END' symbol and press the Select control. (The 'END' symbol is located between the punctuation symbols and the numbers 0 - 9.) The radio should now be able to connect to the network.

After you have connected to your network

1. Once connected to your radio to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will display the main Mode menu. This menu provides access to all major functions of the radio. There are also buttons on the remote control for each of the Mode menu options except for the Conﬁgure menu.

2. Rotate the

Select control until the 'Off' option is highlighted on the

display.

3. Press the Select control to put the radio in Standby mode. It should then display the time. This time is obtained by the radio using its Internet connection. If the time display is not correct don't worry at this stage. It can easily be adjusted later, see page 41, 'Setting the clock'.

Customising your radio

In addition to storing your favourite radio stations in the radio presets, your radio allows you to create a customised list of stations which can appear in a special menu on the radio called 'My Stuff'.

The WM-201 uses Internet Radio technology which has been developed by a British company, Reciva Limited, based near Cambridge. Reciva allow you to register your radio on their web site, and then to associate a choice of radio stations with your radio. These stations can be selected from the large selection already listed. Additionally, if you ﬁnd 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.

Media Player

Media player basics

The Media Player allows you to play audio ﬁles which are stored on a computer on your network. Supported ﬁle formats are MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, Real Audio, AU and playlists (M3U). Note that the playback of DRM protected content is not supported.

Your radio supports two ﬁle access methods. It can connect to folders shared on the network, commonly known as Windows Shares. It can also connect with ﬁle server applications using the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol.

All of the supported ﬁle types are playable in Windows Shares mode. When using a UPnP server, the playable ﬁle types are dependant on the server software used. For example, Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 can serve MP3, WMA and WAV ﬁles. To be able to play the other supported ﬁle types via UPnP you may need to install additional third-party software.

When using Windows Shares, music selection is by Artist, by Album and optionally by track within an Album. When using a UPnP server, the search and selection criteria are determined by the server, but typically include additional options such as Genre. Many server applications also allow you to access ﬁles according to the folders within which they are stored.

Note that the references to 'PC' in this section refer to any computer device that may be sharing content on your network, whether it is a Windows device, an Apple computer, a Linux device, or any other. We use the generic term 'PC' simply because it is short and convenient.

Using Windows Shares

Setting up your Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio ﬁles via Windows Shares. If you wish to use UPnP, please turn to page 29.

1. Please ensure that your PC is available on the same network as your Internet radio. Using Windows Explorer, locate the folder where your audio ﬁles are stored.

2. Right click on the folder.

3. Select ‘Properties’.

4. Click on ‘Sharing’.

5. Select ‘Share this folder on the network’ and ‘Allow network users to change my ﬁles’.

Please note, do not try to make your ‘My Documents’ or any of its subfolders (e.g. ‘My Music’) shareable.

Page 29

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on :-

020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)

Locate the shared audio ﬁles using the radio

1. Use the Select control to switch on your radio and to access the menus. If needed, use the Back option to access the main Mode menu.

3. Rotate the Select control until 'Media Player' is highlighted on the display and press the Select control. Alternatively, use the Media button on the remote control

4. Rotate the Select control until 'Windows Shares' is highlighted, then press to select this option.

5. Rotate the Select control until ‘Scan for PCs’ is highlighted and press the Select control again.

6. The radio will now display ‘Finding PCs’. If any PCs are sharing folders on the network they will be shown. When the search is complete, rotate the Select control to highlight the PC which is sharing your ﬁles. If your PC does not appear, check its ﬁle sharing and ﬁrewall settings.

7. Press the

Select control. The radio will then search the selected PC for shared folders. If the PC's security settings require it, the radio may ask for a user name and password. Enter these according to your PC's settings.

8. Rotate the Select control to highlight the correct shared folder and press the Select control to conﬁrm the selection.

9. The radio will display ‘File Scan…’ as it scans through the media ﬁles in the shared folder. The bottom row of the display will show some ﬁle or folder names to indicate that the ﬁle scan is in progress. If you have a large number of audio ﬁles this could take several minutes to complete.

10. Once the radio has ﬁnished scanning, it will display ‘By Album’, 'By Artist', etc. Use the

Select control to scroll through the scanned media ﬁles, which will now be organised ‘By Album’, ‘By Artist’ and ‘Playlists’ – if available.

Note that the ﬁrst time the ﬁle scan is performed, a ﬁle called ‘.reciva_ media_cache’ is written to the folder where the audio ﬁles are stored. This ﬁle is created by the scanning software in order to speed up subsequent ﬁle scans.

In the event that your radio cannot connect to your PC or its shared folders it is most likely that your PC's ﬁrewall software is blocking access (see the section 'Troubleshooting' on page 53).

Set up a Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio ﬁles via a UPnP server

1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista then you can use Microsoft's Windows Media Player 11 (WMP 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 website and installed by following the instructions detailed in its installation wizard, or by using Microsoft's Windows Update facility.

2. Once installed, WMP 11 can create a library from all the media ﬁles available to it on your PC. To add new media ﬁles to the library, select 'File > Add to Library… > Advanced Options', click 'Add' and choose the ﬁles you wish to add and click ‘OK’.

You will now need to connect your Internet radio to Windows Media Player 11 and conﬁgure it to allow the radio to access your media library. In order to this, you will need to follow these next steps.

Selecting Media Sharing in Windows Media Player 11

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on :-

020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)

Connecting the radio using UPnP

1. Use the Select control to switch on your radio and to access the menus. If needed, use the

Back option. Select the Media Player menu. Rotate

the Select control to highlight 'UPNP Servers'.

2. Press and release the Select control and the radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. Note, this may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan and before the scan has completed, the radio will display 'Empty'. The radio will continue to display 'Empty' if no UPnP servers are found.

3. After scanning, select your UPnP server (rotate the Select control if more than one UPnP server is found), and then press the Select control. Your radio will normally display 'Access Denied' at this stage.

4. Your PC may now prompt you that a device has attempted to connect to your UPnP server. Whether you are prompted or not, in order to allow the radio to have access to the media ﬁles, you will need to click the 'Library' tab in WMP 11 and select the 'Media Sharing…' item to open the 'Media Sharing' window.

5. From 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' ﬁrewall software, this should

be correctly conﬁgured by WMP 11. If you are using third party ﬁrewall software you may need to manually conﬁgure it to allow your radio and WMP 11 to communicate (see 'Troubleshooting' on page 53).

6. Select the named server again using the

Select control. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with your radio you will be presented with some media selection options by the server software.

Do not worry if not all of your media appear in the menus immediately.

Windows Media Player needs to look inside each ﬁle to identify the artist, album and track information from 'tags' embedded in each ﬁle. Additionally, Windows Media Player may take 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.

8. The radio will display '[Add to Queue]'. Press the

Select control and the radio will add all the tracks in the album to its queue and begin playing them automatically.

Media selection

Whether you access your ﬁles using Windows Shares or using UPnP, the ﬁle selection mechanisms are the same. The only difference between the two methods is that when using UPnP you will generally have a wider choice of search criteria, as determined by the UPnP server software on your computer. Some third party server applications allow customisation of the search criteria and indexing methods, which can be useful if you have a very large collection of stored music ﬁles.

The selection mechanism allows you to search by a given information type (Album, Artist, etc.) and then to narrow the search, either just to an album or to a particular track within an album. The selected album or track is then added to a queue of tracks to be played. You can add more albums or tracks to the queue while music is playing, or you can jump between tracks in the queue. You can also clear the queue if you wish to make a fresh selection. The searches described here are examples of the possibilities available.

Listening to a complete album

1. Rotate the Select control until 'By Artist' is highlighted on the display. Press the Select control.

2. Rotate the Select control until the required artist is highlighted on the display. Press the Select control.

Network Conﬁguration

This menu enables you to conﬁgure your radio’s network settings, scan for a connection to an alternative wireless network, or to manually conﬁgure the network parameters. This can be useful if you take the Internet radio to another location where there is a different network setup.

It is possible to conﬁgure your radio to connect to your network via an available Ethernet connection (RJ-45) or via a Wi-Fi router.

Conﬁguring the radio only to use a wired Ethernet connection

1. From the radio’s Network Conﬁguration menu, select 'Wired / Wireless'. This menu will present you with three options: 'Wireless Only', 'Wired Only' and 'Auto'. Selecting 'Wired Only' will allow cause the radio to restart and then to use only its Ethernet connection to communicate with the network. The radio will also disable its wireless network capabilities. This will require your radio to be physically connected to a wired Ethernet using the RJ-45 socket on the rear panel.

Conﬁguring the radio only to use a Wi-Fi connection

2. Selecting the 'Wireless Only' option from the 'Wired / Wireless' menu will allow cause the radio to restart and then only to use only its Wi-Fi connection to communicate with the network. The radio will also disable its Ethernet connection.

Conﬁguring the radio to use either an Ethernet or a Wi-Fi connection

3. Selecting the 'Auto' option from the 'Wired / Wireless' menu will cause the radio to restart. It will then attempt to establish an Ethernet connection to the network. If no Ethernet connection is available the radio will attempt to establish a Wi-Fi connection to the network.

Having established a particular type of connection to the network, this

connection will remain in use while the radio is on.

The Network Conﬁguration menu also allows you to choose whether or not the Internet radio displays a warning message when the Wi-Fi signal strength is low. You can enable this feature by selecting 'Signal Warning' and then selecting 'Yes'.

Entering the network name manually

If your network is conﬁgured with a hidden ESSID, then you will need to enter the network name manually.

1. In the Network Conﬁguration menu, select 'Enter network name'. A string of characters will be displayed. You can scroll through this list by turning the rotary control or by pressing the Menu up or Menu down buttons. The centre character will be entered into the network name each time that you press Select.

If you make an error, either use the Back button on the remote control,

or give a long press on the rotary control.

2. When the name has been entered, locate the END symbol in the string of characters and then press Select. The radio will then try to connect to the named network. The remainder of the connection procedure should then be followed - see page 13, step 9.

Troubleshooting

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

http://www.robertsradio.co.uk/pages/wm201_faq.htm

or on Reciva's website at

http://www.reciva.com

If you have difﬁculty connecting the radio to your wireless network, some of these steps may help to resolve the problem:

1. Conﬁrm that a Wi-Fi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.

2. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have conﬁgured a static IP address on the radio. You can conﬁgure a static IP address on the radio using the menu item ‘Conﬁgure -> Network Conﬁg -> Edit Conﬁg’, and then select ‘No’ for ‘Auto (DHCP)’.

3. Check that your network’s ﬁrewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000 and 7070. The use of Windows Shares requires access to UDP and TCP ports 135 - 139 and 445. Windows Media Player 11 will allocate a port number for UPnP media sharing and will conﬁgure Microsoft's Windows built-in ﬁrewall appropriately. Other ﬁrewall software may require conﬁgration for UPnP or to allow particular IP addresses to have trusted access.

4. Check that your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu item 'Conﬁgure -> Network Conﬁg -> View Conﬁg -> MAC address'. Note that the WM-201 radio has both wired and wireless MAC addresses.

Page 55

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on :-

020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)

5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or pass-phrase into the radio. Remember that text-format WPA keys are case sensitive. If your radio displays 'Wireless error' when attempting to connect to an encrypted network followed by a 5-digit number, then please ensure that you enter the correct pass

-phrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network conﬁguration.

If your radio can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:

1. The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone).

2. The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.

3. The Internet connection between your radio and the server (often located in a different country) is slow.

4. The station is not broadcasting any more.

5. The link to the audio stream used by the radio is out of date.

6. The radio station is broadcasting using an audio format which is not playable by your radio (although the WM-201 does play almost all formats used by regular broadcasters).

Try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcaster’s web site. If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at http://www. reciva.com to notify Reciva so that they can update the station data that is used by the radio.

Factory reset

If you wish to completely reset your radio to its initial state this may be performed by following this procedure.

1. Use the Select control to switch on your radio and to access the menus. If needed, use the

Back option to access the main Mode menu. Rotate the Select control until 'Conﬁgure' is highlighted on the display.

2. Press the

Select control to enter the Conﬁgure menu. Rotate the

Select control until 'Factory Reset' is highlighted on the display.

3. Press the

Select control again and the display will show 'Are you sure?'. Rotate the Select control to highlight 'Yes' if you wish to carry out a system reset or highlight 'No' if wish to return to the previous screen. Then press the Select control again.

4. A full reset will be performed, the station list together with any preset stations will be erased and your wireless network connection details will be lost. All conﬁguration settings will be restored to their defaults, and the language used for menus will be reset to English.

In the event that you are unable to access the menus (or if the language setting has accidentally been changed to a language that you cannot understand) the Factory Reset may also be performed as follows:

1. Remove all power from the unit and wait 30 seconds.

2. Then, re-apply power while simultaneously pressing and holding the front panel rotary control. Keep this pressed as the radio powers up and until it displays 'Factory Reset Complete'. This should normally only take between 10 and 15 few seconds. Then, release the control while the radio restarts.

3. If this is not successful, please remove power for one minute, and then repeat the operation.

Upgrade ﬁrmware

From time to time, new software features for your radio may be developed. For example, a new audio decoder may be added to allow an alternative audio format to be supported. You radio has therefore been designed to allow its internal software to be upgraded using your Internet connection. The upgrade mechanism is accessible via the Conﬁgure menu.

Roberts does not recommend that you use this option unless it is recommend to you by Roberts Customer Services. Upgrading the software will remove all network settings, radio station presets and alarm settings from your radio. Do not attempt this procedure unless you have a good Internet connection and a reliable mains power supply. If you connect to your router using a Wi-Fi connection, make sure that this is also reliable before proceeding.

The Upgrade Firmware option allows your radio to download new internal software from the Reciva portal on the Internet. If there is new software available, then the radio will ask whether you want to download it or not. Selecting No or using the

Back option will cancel the operation. A software

upgrade may take several minutes.

IMPORTANT: Do not switch off the power to the radio until the upgrade operation is complete and the radio has restarted, otherwise the radio may become permanently damaged.

Once the software upgrade is completed your radio will restart. If you use a Wi-Fi connection, you will need to re-enter all network settings in order to be able reconnect to your network. A ﬁrmware update also erases all radio station presets, alarm settings, and conﬁguration options.
