Before you can use this product

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

● A broadband Internet connection.

● 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 soundbar to communicate with the network, or your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).

● If you choose to connect the soundbar 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 benefit in using a shielded Ethernet cable since this may reduce possible interference to the radio.

The soundbar 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 soundbar 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 soundbar is able to receive a suitable broadcast signal. IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure that your router (or access point) is powered up and working with your broadband Internet service (use your computer, smart-phone or tablet to verify this). To get this part of the system working you must refer to the instructions supplied with those items.

Remote control functions

Most of the functions of the SB-100 soundbar can be controlled using either the product or the remote control. For the majority of this manual we will describe operation using the remote control. There are a few functions which are more easily accessed using the remote control. These are:

Radio station presets DAB / FM auto-tune Random function Audio mute Repeat function

Remote control battery replacement

1. Slide out the battery holder as shown.

2. Gently remove the batteries from the holder.

3. Insert 2 x CR2032 size batteries into the compartment with the positive side of the batteries (marked +) facing upwards with the holder positioned as shown.

Note: The remote control uses CR2032 batteries. For optimum battery life, fit batteries in

locations A and B. The control can also be used with a single battery installed in location

A but the battery life will be reduced. The control will not work if there is only a single battery

installed in location B.

4. Replace the battery holder as shown and ensure that the battery holder clicks into place.

5. If the remote is not to be used for an extended period of time it is recommended that the

batteries are removed.

IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or

the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

WARNING:

● Do not ingest the battery. Chemical Burn hazard.

●

The remote control supplied with this product contains a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can be fatal.

● Keep new and used batteries away from children. They can be a choking hazard.

● If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away

from children.

● If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek

immediate medical attention.

This page describes the basic means of controlling your SB-100 Soundbar. Instructions for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.

1. Pressing the On/Standby button brings your soundbar out of Standby mode. Pressing On/

Standby while the soundbar is in use will cause it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display.

2. Pressing the Radio button (on the remote control) gives you access to each of the operating

modes in turn: Internet Radio, Spotify, DAB radio and FM radio.

Pressing the Media button (on the remote control) gives you access to each of the operating

modes in turn: Music Player, Bluetooth, Auxiliary Input, Optical 1, Optical 2, Coaxial and Line

Input.

3. Alternatively press and release the Mode button on the soundbar and then use the Menu Up

or Down and Select buttons to select the desired operating mode.

4. Pressing and holding the Info/Menu button (on the remote control) or press and release the

Menu button (on the soundbar) will access the menu system. The Info button also allows the

display of information relating to the radio station or music le being played.

5. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. Highlight the menu item

using the Menu Up or Down buttons. Press and release the Select button to select that item. If there are more than six items in a menu, then the display will automatically scroll up or down so that the additional items become visible. A sliding bar on the right will give an indication showing the current portion of the menu that is displayed.

If there are many items in a menu, then the soundbar allows the menu to 'wrap around' in ei-

ther 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.

Installing the soundbar

If your TV sits on a TV table or cabinet, then it will often be simplest to place the soundbar on the same surface in front of the TV. Note that the soundbar’s infra-red repeater function will allow your TV to respond to its remote control, even if its remote control sensor is obscured by the soundbar. If your TV is wall mounted, then you may use the mounting brackets supplied with the soundbar

to allow it to be xed to the wall beneath the TV.

Cautions

● Do not place magnetically sensitive items near the soundbar such as a hard disc drive etc.

● Depending on the installation environment, it may be better to connect the soundbar and

external devices (such as a TV) before installing the soundbar.

● Do not place the soundbar within 5cm (2") of the TV.

● Ensure the placement of the soundbar does not block access to any of the controls on your

TV.

● Ensure that there is sufcient slack in any cables before moving the soundbar, or disconnect

the cables before moving it.

Attaching the soundbar to the wall

The soundbar is supplied with mounting brackets to allow wall mounting.

1. Use the mounting template to mark the hole positions before drilling. Take care to ensure that

there are no cables or pipes in the wall near the drilling locations.

IMPORTANT: Before drilling the holes and applying screws, please make sure that the screws

are the appropriate length for the wall material. The screws must be able to support the weight of the installed soundbar. The soundbar and brackets weigh approximately 7 kg (15 Ib).

2. Use screw xings appropriate for the wall type. Do not overtighten the screws.

Note : Do not attach the soundbar to a wall that is made of weak materials such as plaster or

wood paneling which could cause the soundbar to fall resulting in damage to the soundbar or personal injury.

3. The soundbar may be placed on the wall brackets as shown.

4. Use the screws supplied with your soundbar to x the underneath of your soundbar to the wall

brackets. Do not overtighten.

Sangean will not accept any responsibility for any accidents caused by inadequate

installations.

5. To remove the soundbar from the wall carefully reverse steps 1-4 and put the wall brackets

and screws in a safe place for future use.

Important:

Under no circumstances should the soundbar be placed on the brackets without the fixing screws also being used to secure the soundbar to the brackets. Vibration from the loudspeakers, or an accidental pull on the cables could cause the soundbar to fall resulting in personal injury or damaged to property.

It is the users responsibility to ensure that the xings which are used to secure the brackets to

the wall are suitable for the wall structure and are strong enough to support the weight of the soundbar, brackets and cables. The soundbar and brackets weigh 7 kg (15 lb).

Cautions for wall mounting

● Secure the soundbar rmly to the wall and check the soundbar is securely xed to the wall

after the installation. Incorrect or inadequate installation could cause the soundbar to fall and could result in damage to the unit or personal injury.

● Fix the cables in place where they will not become loose. If you accidently catch a loose cable

the soundbar may fall.

● Do not attach the soundbar to a wall that is made of weak materials such as plaster or wood

panelled walls.

● Ensure that you use the correct size screws that can support the weight of the soundbar.

● Never place any items on the soundbar.

● Keep children away from the cables of the soundbar. Pulling the cables could cause the

soundbar to fall.

● Do not install this equipment in a conned space such as a book case or similar unit.

Connecting the soundbar

Multi-room capability

The soundbar has been designed to allow a variety of methods of connection to your TV and to other equipment. In many cases, the TV will already be connected to a wide range of devices. Typically these may include satellite or cable TV receivers, DVD or Blu-ray players, games consoles, etc. Because the TV is already receiving both audio and video signals from these sources, the simplest and recommended way to connect the soundbar is to take its audio signal from the TV. This allows the TV to continue to act as the means of selection for these sources which helps to keep the operation of the system as simple as possible. The soundbar can be used in this way with TVs which have either a digital audio output (typically an optical connection) or a “Line level output” (typically via a pair of phono sockets). Such outputs are designed to feed the audio signal to an external amplifier and are generally located behind the TV. You should refer to the documentation supplied with your TV for details of the audio connections available. The use of your TV as the audio source for the soundbar is described on later section. The means connection of other devices is described in the subsequent pages. All of the connection illustrations are examples. There are many ways to connect different types of devices, and while we make some recommendations, you may choose to use different connections for your own installation.

Settings for digital audio devices

If the soundbar is connected to a device with a digital output, some

conguration of that device may be required to ensure that audio signal

is played correctly from the soundbar. Devices such as cable TV and satellite receivers, DVD and Blu-ray players generally allow their digital outputs to be set to output the audio either in stereo or in surround sound formats such as Dolby Digital or DTS. For use with the soundbar the digital output must be set to Stereo, sometimes also referred to as 'Downmix', 'PCM' or 'PCM Stereo' in the device settings. If this is not done, you may hear either a constant hiss or a loud buzzing instead of the expected audio.

For most of its operating modes, the soundbar is able to share audio with other connected multi-room products. So, for example, you could choose to listen to an Internet Radio station, to a Spotify selection, or to an external device such as an MP3 player, and have the sound played through the soundbar and shared with up to four other devices at the same time. The multi-room capabilities of the soundbar are explained in more detail in the ‘Multi-room and UNDOK' section of this manual. When using your soundbar while watching TV the multi-room function is normally disabled with the TV sound being only available from the soundbar. This is because the delays associated with sharing the sound with other multi-room devices and keeping them all in step would result in the sound being noticeably delayed compared to the image on the TV.

The soundbar’s setting allow one input to be specied as the TV audio

input. This input is then not shared with other multi-room devices and

is played without signicant delay. When playing from other sources to

a group of multi-room products there is a very short delay added, but is it only about half a second. In this case, all the connected devices will play with their sound fully synchronised. Details of the TV audio input selection and how it is configured are given in the ‘TV audio options' section of this manual.

During installation

We recommend that the soundbar and any devices to be connected to it are switched off (or at least in standby) while the connections are made in order to prevent the possibility of damage or excessive volume from the speakers.

Audio Connection to your TV (recommended method)

The simplist and recommended way to connect the soundbar is to connect it to an audio output on your TV. Many modern TVs may have a digital output that can be used see Option A below. An alternative output using a pair of audio sockets is sometimes provided, see Option B.

1. Option A. Connect the TV and soundbar using an optical cable.

The connection type on the soundbar is often known as a Toslink socket. Remove any protective endcaps from the optical cable (if

tted) and check the orientation of the plugs before inserting one end

into the TV and the other into one of the Optical Input sockets on the soundbar.

2. Option B. Connect the TV and soundbar using a stereo audio cable.

The connection type on the soundbar is a pair of phono sockets (sometimes called RCA sockets), one socket for the left channel and one for the right. You may also use the 3.5mm stereo Auxiliary input socket if that is more convenient. We do not recommend making the connection to a headphone output from your TV since that will generally be at a signal level which is too low for this purpose.

3. Use the TV Audio Input option in the system settings menu to specify

which input is to be used for playing sound from the TV. Once this has been set, you simply press and release the Media button on the remote control to select the appropriate input on the soundbar for TV listening.

Alternative audio connection methods

Cable with phono plugs

In some cases, there may not be a suitable audio output available from the TV. If the TV is fed from a device such as a cable TV or satellite receiver, then that receiver may have an audio output which can be fed to the soundbar. The example shows the TV connected to a cable TV or satellite receiver using an HDMI cable, and with the audio being fed separately to the soundbar, using either an analogue or digital connection. The choice of connection method will depend on the capabilities of the cable TV or satellite receiver.

1. Option C. Connect the cable TV or satellite receiver to the soundbar

using an optical cable. The connection type on the soundbar is often known as a Toslink socket. Remove any protective endcaps from the

optical cable(if tted) and check the orientation of the plugs before

inserting one end into the TV and the other into one of the Optical Input sockets on the soundbar. Ensure that the digital output is set to stereo.

2. Option D. Connect the cable TV or satellite receiver to the soundbar

using a stereo audio cable. The connection type on the soundbar is a pair of phono sockets (sometimes called RCA sockets), one socket for the left channel and one for the right. You may also use the 3.5mm stereo Auxiliary input socket if that is more convenient.

3. Use the TV Audio Input option in the system settings menu to specify

A device such as a DVD or Blu-ray player can be used to watch a lm

on the TV with the audio signal coming via the TV to the soundbar.

it is desired to be able to play other media such as CDs, then the addi connected. In this way, the audio from the CD may also be shared with other connected multi-room products. The audio connection from the TV is then used when watching films from the player, while the

connection from the player to the soundbar is used when playing CDs.

This ensures that the audio for the lms is not delayed by multi-room

streaming, while the CD can be enjoyed around the house. In addition, the TV does not then need to be switched on. The diagram shows the DVD / Blu-ray player connected to the TV using an HDMI connection (E). There is an optical connection from the TV to

the soundbar (F) for sound when watching TV or lms on DVD or Blu-ray

discs. For playing CDs the diagram shows the use of either an analogue connection (G) or a digital connection (H) from the DVD or Blu-ray player to the soundbar. You would only need to use one of these two options. If you listen to DVD or Blu-ray discs with the soundbar connected using a digital signal (not via the TV), you should ensure that the player's output is set to stereo.

Using the Auxiliary input socket

Your Multi-room soundbar has an auxiliary input to allow audio from devices such as an MP3 player, CD or turntable to be played to other devices connected in a multi-room network.

1. Connect a stereo lead from the output of the chosen audio source

to the Auxiliary Input socket located at the rear of the soundbar. Typically this lead will have a 3.5mm stereo plug at both ends.

2. Switch on your soundbar.

3. Press and release the Media button until the Aux In mode is selected.

4. Press 'Play' on the connected audio device if needed.

5. Depending upon the connected devices, you may need to adjust the

volume of any products connected to the soundbar. If used as part of a multi-room group, you may also need to adjust the volume settings

of other products in the group. Note: If the Line Input sockets are not being used to receive the audio signal from your TV, then they may also be used as an additional auxiliary input.

External

Subwoofer

Your multi-room soundbar has a built-in subwoofer capability which in many cases will provide more than enough bass. An external subwoofer can also be added if required, and the soundbar has an output

specically for this purpose.

1. Connect a lead from the Subwoofer output socket located at the

rear of the soundbar to the input socket on your external subwoofer.

2. Switch on your soundbar and external subwoofer.

3. The subwoofer volume control on the soundbar remote control

adjusts levels of the internal subwoofer function and also the signal

levels to an external subwoofer. You should refer to the documentation supplied with your external

subwoofer to determine how to connect to it and how to congure its

setting. The external subwoofer output on the soundbar is primarily active for frequencies below 100Hz. Note: If your soundbar or subwoofer is located in the corner of a room (especially on the diagonal) then you may need to reduce the subwoofer

volume setting on the soundbar. This is because the reections from

the walls around the corner will tend to enhance the bass response of the system. Conversely, in a large open area, you may wish to increase the subwoofer volume setting on the soundbar.

Infra-red repeater function

Your Multi-room soundbar has a infra-red pass through facility for when the soundbar is placed in front of the TV's remote control sensor.

The soundbar will receive the TV remote control signals at the front of the unit and will then retransmit the signals from the infra-red repeater strip on the rear so that they may be received by the TV.

Antenna switch

Your soundbar has a built-in antenna for DAB and FM radio reception. However, the typical location of a soundbar, close to a large-screen TV and perhaps also close to other equipment such as a cable TV or satellite receiver, DVD or Blu-ray player, etc., is a poor location for radio reception. Therefore, we recommend that for radio listening you use either the Internet Radio function, or that if good DAB or FM radio reception is required then an external aerial is used, perhaps installed in a loft or on the roof. The antenna switch should be used to select the internal antenna or to use the external connection as needed.

1. Place your soundbar on a flat surface or wall mount as previously

described. Then plug the mains lead into the mains socket located at

the rear of your soundbar ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into

the socket.

2. If you wish to use a wired network connection, plug the Ethernet

cable into the RJ-45 socket at the back of the soundbar.

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 soundbar to

the mains supply. The mains socket and any multi-way mains block

or appliance coupler used for the soundbar must remain accessible

during normal use. In order to disconnect the soundbar from the mains, the mains plug

should be removed from the mains socket completely.

6. Next, the way in which the soundbar updates its clock is set. A menu allowing you to specify

the auto-update option for the clock will be shown. The 'Update from Network' option will be

best for most users.

7. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to choose an auto-update option for the clock. This can

be updated from DAB or FM radio, from the Network, or not updated. The default is to

auto-update from the network. If you choose another option go to 'Connecting to your computer

setting, see the next steps. If you choose 'No update' you will need to set the clock manually

later. Press the Select button to conrm your choice.

8. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight the time zone for your current location. Press

the Select button to enter the setting.

9. You will then need to set the Daylight Savings option according to your location (Daylight

Savings is also known as Summer/Winter time or BST/GMT adjustment).Press the Menu Left

Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight the required region and then press the Select button to make the selection. Do this even if you are planning to use the wired Ethernet connection.

Your soundbar will then scan for available WiFi networks.

11. The soundbar will enter the Network Settings Wizard and will display 'Scanning...'. The

soundbar 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 12.

To use the Ethernet connection to your router (with automatic conguration), press the Menu

Up or Down buttons to point to the '[Wired]' menu item. Press the Select button and the

soundbar will attempt to connect.

If your network allows automatic conguration (which is normal) the soundbar will acquire a

with your wired connection, they may help you to identify the possible cause of the problem.

Yellow ON = Link established; OFF = no connection Green Flashing = Data transfer

If your network does not support automatic con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.

12. If you plan to use a WiFi connection, you will 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 soundbar 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 soundbar will nd more than one

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

13. 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 15 on the next page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 14.

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

the '[Manual cong]' option in order to enter the network details manually. This is described in 'Manual Network Conguration'.

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 soundbar to a location closer to your ac-

cess point / router.

15. 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 16.

Choose one of the WPS menu options as required for your router (WPS may be via push

button, or using an identication number).

'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router and then the

Select button on the soundbar. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the soundbar.

'PIN' - the display shows an identi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 soundbar. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the soundbar.

'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

Press the Select button to exit the setup wizard.

If your network is congured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and

16. 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 soundbar to your network.

17. 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 soundbar 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 soundbar. WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters. Your soundbar accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.

18. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the Menu Up or Down, Left or Right and Select buttons. The highlight scrolls through the available charac

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

select ' ' when the complete key has been entered

select '

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 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 soundbar should now be

able to connect to the network.

19. Once you have connected your soundbar to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will display the Main menu. Press the On/Standby button to put the soundbar 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 ‘Manually setting the clock’.

If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your soundbar 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.

In the sections above, you chose how your soundbar would be connected to your network, either using a WiFi connection or using a wired Ethernet cable. From time to time, you may nd that

you need to connect to different computer networks. The Network Settings menu allows you to change your soundbar’s network settings, scan for an alternative wireless network, or to

manually congure the network parameters. The steps outlined below describe how you can do this - see also the section 'Network proles'.

Conguring the soundbar 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 soundbar 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. By default the soundbar will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from the network's router

using DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol).

Conguring the soundbar to use the wired Ethernet connection

2. Connect your soundbar to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ-45 socket

at the back of the unit. From the Network Settings menu select 'Network wizard'. This will display a list of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list and select the '[Wired]' option

The soundbar 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 the network's router using DHCP .

Network PIN setup (PIN number)

Your soundbar has the option of being controlled by an application installed on an Apple iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or equivalent Android device. The PIN number facility allows you to ensure that your soundbar can only be controlled by your own device rather than someone else's. The remote control application is called UNDOK, by Frontier Silicon Limited, and is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play for your device. UNDOK will try to use the default PIN of '1234' to control your soundbar.

You may change the PIN if desired using the 'NetRemote PIN Setup' option in the Network

Internet Radio

Internet Radio - the basics

Before you can use your soundbar 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. There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the Internet as well as 'Podcasts'. Your soundbar provides several ways of

searching for broadcasts in order to make nding and choosing them

easier. Once you have found the radio stations that you like, you may either store them as presets within the soundbar, or add them to a list of your favourite stations which your soundbar can access. The number of presets is limited (there are ten presets on the soundbar) 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 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 soundbar 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 SB-100 soundbar 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.

Selecting a radio station by location

1. Press the On/Standby button to switch the soundbar 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

In addition to storing your favourite radio stations in the radio presets, your soundbar allows you to create customised lists of stations which can appear in two special menus on the soundbar

called 'My Favourites' and 'My Added Stations'.

Your soundbar uses a database which is accessed via the Internet in order to find 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 soundbar. You can choose the stations which will appear in the 'My Favourites' menu from the large

selection already listed. Additionally, if you 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 soundbar via the 'My Added Stations' menu item.

Registering an account

1. Open the web site

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 soundbar 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.

4. In the Help menu, select the menu item 'Get access code'. Provided that the soundbar is

connected to the Internet, a code will be displayed of typically seven characters (upper case letters and numbers). Make a note of this code for the next step. If you need to re-register later you must repeat this process to get a fresh access code.

5. You should then use the code displayed by the soundbar to ll in the Access Code eld on the

web page when you set up your account. Once you have your account set up, if you have other radios which use the same database, you may also add them to your account. You will need to get an access code from each radio in order to add it to the account. They may then share your favourite and added radio station details.

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

Music Player

Use with Windows, Apple Mac, Linux

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

another device connected to your network.

Networked devices that could hold audio les can include computers,

smart phones, tablets, Network Attached Storage (NAS) units, and network routers which have UPnP / DLNA file sharing capability. In order to play files from a device on your network, your soundbar must connect to a file 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 les to devices on your network, and you may then select les by Album, Artist, and so on

using your soundbar's controls. WMP can serve MP3, WMA, AAC and

WAV les to your soundbar (and FLAC les from Windows 10).

If you are an Apple MacOS, Linux, iOS or Android user, or if you have

your audio 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 congured.

The Music Player on the soundbar can play audio les in MP3, WMA,

AAC, ALAC, FLAC and WAV formats. WMA Lossless files can also be played when using Windows Media Player as the UPnP server. Note that the playback of files encoded using WMA Voice, WMA 10

Professional, and of les which have DRM protection is not supported

by the soundbar.

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

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 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 soundbar.

Some third party server applications allow customization of the search criteria and indexing methods. This can be useful if you have a very large collection of stored music 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 soundbar as part of a group of multi-room products,

audio les in ALAC and FLAC formats will only play on the group master.

Accessing your audio les via a UPnP server

Enabling Media Streaming in Windows Media Player 12

If your computer is running Windows 7, 8, or 10, then Windows Media Player includes a UPnP server which will make your files available to your soundbar. 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 first 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 con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 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 les from other locations into the library.

Alternatively, with media 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

enable media streaming to your soundbar.

3. Press and release the On/Standby button to switch the soundbar on. Then press the Media

button as needed until the Music Player mode

4. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons until ‘Shared media' is highlighted and press the Select

button to select. The soundbar will scan for all available UPnP servers. It may take a few sec

onds for the soundbar to complete its scan. The soundbar 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 soundbar should now connect and you may skip to the next page.

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

'Unauthorised' at this stage.

Note: If you are using Microsoft's Windows' firewall software, this should be correctly

congured by WMP 12. If you are using third party rewall software you may need to manually congure it to allow your unit and WMP 12 to communicate.

8. On the soundbar, select the named server again using the Menu Up or Down and Select

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

Locating and playing media les using UPnP

Once the UPnP server has been congured to share media les with your soundbar, you may select the 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

sic

Player the 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 soundbar to scan for UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few seconds for the soundbar 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 soundbar 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 con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 first set up sharing with a UPnP server, not all of your files will be available

immediately. The UPnP server must look inside each 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

library on your PC. For a library of many les this can take some time.

Media selection

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

Some UPnP server applications allow the search options to be customized.

The searches described here are just examples of the possibilities.

Listening to a complete album

Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to choose content by Artist, Album, Genre, etc. according to your needs then press the Select button to enter your choice.

2. Whe

n you reach the album or folder the menu will then switch to showing the tracks in that

album

or folder. When searching by UPnP they will normally be listed in track number order (but

as with the search criteria, this can vary according to the server application used).

3. With the rst track in the album indicated, press the Select button. The album will then begin

playing.

While the soundbar is playing from your media library, you may use the menus as described above to choose a different selection. When you select the track from which to play, the soundbar

will then immediately begin playing the new selection.

Display modes

Your soundbar has a range of display options when in Music Player mode. Note that the

avail

abil

ity of information depends on the specic media les, their format and upon the server

capability. (Not all UPnP servers make information from the media les available in the same way.)

1. Press and release the Info button to cycle through the different options.

a. Progress bar Displays the playback progress for the track currently playing. b. Artist Displays the artist information for the track currently playing. c. Album Displays the album information for the track currently playing. d. Format Displays the bit rate and format of the track currently playing. e. Buffer Displays the soundbars internal buffer status during media playback. f . Date Displays the current date. Whenever the Music Player is displaying an information screen (as opposed to a menu screen),

the time is displayed in the top-right corner of the display, and a WiFi strength or Ethernet connection indicator is shown in the bottom-right corner together with an indicator showing the method by which the soundbar is obtaining the media - from a UPnP server.

The SB-100 is able to display the album art for the track being played. The ability of the soundbar to display art depends on the presence of the art in the le being played, the art being not too

large (or being resized by the server), and the ability of the UPnP server to send the art to the

soundbar. Art sent to the soundbar needs to be in a JPEG format and no larger than 640 x 480 pixels. If the soundbar 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 le being played.

Some UPnP server applications will be able to re-size the art, if needed, before sending it to the soundbar. If the soundbar 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 soundbar to display album art is not considered to be a fault.
