Before you can use this product

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

● A broadband Internet connection (not required for DAB, FM or Music

Player functions).

● A 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 con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 internet radio to communicate with the network, or your

router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).

If connecting using WiFi, the internet radio will typically work within a 10-

20 metre radio from your wireless access point. The actual range achieved

will depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless network, and

possible interference sources. DAB and FM radio functions can operate

wherever the internet 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.

Remote control functions

Most of the functions of the SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) radio can be controlled using either the panel or the remote control. However, there are a few functions which are only accessible using the remote control. These are: CD track access by numbers Audio mute DAB/FM auto-tune CD/SD/USB random function As with the front panel, some operations require a longer operation of the button (explained in the

relevant sections). In this case simply keep your nger held on the remote controlbutton for 2-3

seconds until the display on the radio shows that the command has been accepted.

Network remote control options

Network Pin setup (Pin number)

Your radio has the option of being controlled by an application installed on an Apple iPhone, iPod touch or iPod. The Pin number facility allows you to ensure that your radio can only be controlled by your own Apple device rather than someone else’s. The remote control application is called UNDOK and is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for your device. Details of how this feature can be used are explained in the later section.

The default PIN is '1234' and is entered in the UNDOK application on your device when it rst

connects to your radio. You may change the PIN if desired using the 'NetRemote PIN Setup' option in the Network settings menu. The updated PIN should then be used to reconnect the radio to the application.

Keep network connected

By default, your radio will shut down its WiFi connection when it is in standby. This minimizes power consumption but it does mean that you will need to switch that radio on manually in order to use the remote control software. If you need to be able to remotely control the radio even when it has been put into standby, then you can choose to keep the network connected by using the ‘Keep network connected’ option in the network setting menu. In the standby mode display either the WiFi signal indicator is shown with or without a cross through it according to the chosen network settings.

Navigation controls

This page describes the basic means of controlling your SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) internet radio.

Instructions for each operating mode are given in the later section of this book.

1. Pressing the Standby button brings your radio out of Standby mode. Pressing Standby while

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

2. Pressing the Radio button gives you access to each of the operating modes in turn: FM, Aux-

in, Internet radio, Spotify and DAB.

3. Pressing the Media button gives you access to each of the operating modes in turn: USB, SD,

Bluetooth, Music player and CD.

4. Pressing and holding the Info/Menu button 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 Tuning Up or Tuning Down buttons on the panel (alternatively, the Folder Up or Folder

Down buttons on the remote control handset). Press the Select button to select that item. If there

are more than ve items in a menu, then the display will automatically scroll up or down so that

the additional items become visible. 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.

Although controls on the Internet radio are shown, all functions are also available using the

remote control.

Connecting your radio to your computer network

1. Place your radio on a at surface and plug the mains lead into the mains socket located on the

back of your radio 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 socket at the

back of the radio.

3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into the 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. When you apply power, the display on the radio will light up and say: ‘SANGEAN’

and‘STARTING’ with a progress indicator. The first time that you use your radio (or after

Factory Reset) the display will show “Setup wizard” and “YES” will be highlighted on the

screen. Press the Select button to start the setup wizard. The screen will ask if you wish to run

the setup wizard again at the next start up. This will lead to the main menu.

5. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel (Alternatively, the Folder Up or Down

buttons on the remote control handset) to highlight the desired clock format (either 12 Or 24

hour) then press the Select button to enter your selection. A menu allowing you to specify

the auto update option for the clock will appear on the display. The default of ‘Update from

Network’ will be the best option for most users.

6. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel (Alternatively, the Folder Up or Down

buttons on the remote control handset) 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 any other option, go to step 9. Otherwise you

will rst need to select the correct time zone and daylight savings setting, see steps 7 and

8. If you choose “No update” you will need to set the clock manually later (see the section of

‘Manually setting the clock’). Press the Select button to conrm your choice.

7. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel (Folder Up or Down buttons on the

remote control handset) to highlight the time zone which is applicable to your location. Press the Select button to enter the setting.

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

Savings is also known as Summer/Winter time). Press the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset to highlight “YES” to turn on daylight savings if required or ‘NO’ if you

do not wish to use daylight savings then press the Select button to conrm the setting.

9. After setting the Daylight Savings options, the display will show the 'Keep network

connected?' option. You should choose 'Yes' if you wish to keep the radio connected to the network when it is in Standby mode. This will allow remote control software to switch on your radio when needed. If you choose 'No' then your radio will shut down its WiFi connection when it is in Standby, DAB or FM modes. This minimises power consumption but it does mean that you will need to switch the radio on manually in order to use either Spotify Connect, the 'Play to' function or any remote control software such as UNDOK app. Press the Folder up/down button to highlight the required option and then press the Select button to make the selection.

10. The display will then show a list of WiFi regional options for the network set up. Press the

TuningUp or Down buttons on the panel (Alternatively, the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset) to highlight the required region and then press the Select button to select it. Do this even if planning to use the wired Ethernet connection. Your radio will then scan for available WiFi networks. If using WiFi we recommend that the WiFi antenna is positioned vertically.

11. The radio will enter the Network Settings Wizard and will display ‘Scanning…’. 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 Folder

Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset to point to the “[Wired]’ menu item. Press the Select button and the radio will attempt to connect.

[Manual config]

If your network allows automatic configuration (which is normal) the radio will acquire a

network address. The screen should say ‘Connecting…’, and then ‘Setup wizard completed’.

Press the Select button to exit the setup wizard and show the main menu.

There are two indicator lights incorporated into the 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 ilnk

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 radio 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 Proteced Setup, then ‘[WPS]’ will be shown in front of the SSID. It is possible, and in some locations highly likely,

that your radio will nd more than one wireless network, in which case you should choose

which one you need to connect to.

13. Press the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset (alternatively, Tuning

Up or Down buttons on the panel) 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.

14. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is congured not to broadcast the

SSID. You should then use the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset and

Select buttons to highlight and select the ‘[Manual cong]’ option in order to enter the network details manually. This is described in ‘Manual Network Conguration”. If your network name

is being broad cast, 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.

15. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to is highlighted on the screen,

press the Select button. If WiFi Pretected Setup (WPS) was indicated, you will see an additional menu at this point, otherwise proceed to step 15. 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 radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio. ‘PIN’ – the display shows an identification 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 radio. ‘Skip WPS’ – if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously Entered). If you choose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show ‘Connecting…’ and then ‘Setup wizard completed’. Press the Select button to exit setup wizard.

16. If your network is congured without an encryption key, the screen should say ‘Connecting…’,

and then ‘Setup wizard completed’. Press the Select button to exit the setup wizard and show the main menu. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio 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 radio to allow it to communicate with your wireless network. If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set up your network. Some wireless routers may come with an encryption key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the documentation provided with it. WPA is used here to also include WPA2. WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 – 9, and A – F). Some wireless Routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported. WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters. Your radio accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.

the available characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character currently

highlighted will be entered when you press the Select button. Do this as needed until the

complete key has been entered. Remember, WEP keys only use the numbers 0-9 and letters

A-F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper and lower case characters. You must enter the key

exactly or the radio will not connect to the network. The three controls on the right-hand

side of the screen have special functions. You can quickly access these by pressing the Info

button and then use the Up or Down and Select buttons as needed:

select ‘ ’ to erase a character just entered (long press to clear)

selecting the ‘ ’ symbol. This will remove the ‘[Set]’ indication. After the nal character of

the WEP or WPA key has been entered, highlight the ‘ ’ symbol and press the Select button. Then screen will show ‘Connecting…’ and then ‘Setup wizard completed’. Press the

Select button to the exit setup wizard. The radio should now be able to connect to the

network.

19. Once you have connected your radio to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will

display the main menu. Press the Standby button to put the radio in 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 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.

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 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 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 radio to use an alternative WiFi connection

1. From the Network settings menu select ‘Network wizard’. This will present you with details of

any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list using the Folder Up or Down buttons on

the remote control panel to the desired network name. Press the Select button to select this

network. The radio will then use its WiFi system to communicate with the network. Depending

on the settings for the new network you may need to enter an encryption key. By default the

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

Conguring the radio to use the wired Ethernet connection

2. Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the socket (marked

LAN) at the back of the unit. From the Network settings menu select ‘Network Wizard’. This will

preset you the details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list to the ‘[Wired]’

option using the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset. Press the Select

button to select this.

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 conguration, or if your network is con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 is not recommended as a means

of network security.)

1. From the radio Network settings menu, select ‘Manual settings’. You must then choose whether

to connect using ‘Wired’ or ‘Wireless’ connections. If you choose ‘Wireless’ there are as many

as nine settings screens, shown by the ‘1 of 9’ progress marker in the top right corner of the

display. If you choose ‘Wired’ there are ve screens and the progress marker will re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 congure your network parameters (IP

address, subnet mask, gateway address, etc). Unless you are familiar with networking and

related terminology, we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose ‘DHCP enable’

unless you need to specify the network details manually. If you have chosen ‘Wired’ and then

‘DHCP enable’, your radio should now establish a connection to the router using the Ethernet

cable. Please skip to setp11. If you chose ‘Wireless’ and ‘DHCP enable’, please skip to step

6 in order to set up the wireless connection details. If you chose ‘DHCP disable’ for either

connection method, the next step is to set up the IP address.

3. The manually speci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 congured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside

the range that the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the rst three groups of digits will

be the same for all devices on your network. To enter the IP address, press the Folder Up or

Down buttons to set the value for each group of digits and then press the Select button or the

Left or Right buttons on the remote control to enter the value and to move on to the next group.

When the IP address has been entered, the subnet mask should be entered. The subnet mask

denes which parts of the IP address are common across your network. For most small networks

the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and this is entered in the same way.

4. The Gateway address is normally the IP address of the router through which the radio

connects to the internet and is entered in the same way as the previous addresses.

5. In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same IP

6. If you specied ‘Wireless’, the next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the

group of digits and then press the Select button or the Left or Right buttons (on the remote control) to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all eight groups

of digits have been entered. If you previously specied ‘Wired’ and then ‘DHCP disable’, your

name of the wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password. To enterthe SSID, characters are selected and entered using the Folder Up or Down, Left or Right on the remote control and Select buttons. The radio scrolls through the available characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press theSelect button.

Do this as needed until the complete network name has been entered. The SSID setting is

sensitive to upper and lower case characters and symbols. You must enter it exactly as set up in your router. The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions.

You can quickly access these by pressing the Info button and then use the Folder Up or Down

and Select buttons on the remote control as needed:

select ‘ ’ when the complete SSID has been entered select ‘ ’ to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen

7. Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your

wireless network. This should be the same as specied in your router settings. If your network

does not use encryption, then select the ‘Open’ option. Your radio should then connect to the network, so skip to step 11. If your network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the ‘Pre-Shared Key’ option then go to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) – see step 9.

8. If you chose ‘Pre-Shared Key’ in step 7, you should then choose the WEP option. The

key should be entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. The key will be 10 characters long for 64-bit encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. The radio willaccept lower-case letters a-f as equivalent to upper-case A-F. Spaces or special symbols are not permitted in WEP keys.

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 specified, 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.

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.

10. Note – the encryption key is sensitive to the use of upper and lower case letters and symbols.

Internet Radio

Internet Radio – the basics

Before you can use your radio to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it

is necessary to have connected it to your computer network using either

the wireless (WiFi) connection or the wired Ethernet connection located

on the back of the unit.

There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via

the internet as well ‘Podcasts’. Your radio provides several ways of

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

easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you may

either store them as presets within the radio, or add them to a list of

your favorite stations which your radio can access. The number of

presets is limited (there are ten presets on the radio), but you can store

as many favorites 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 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 SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) radio connects to a radio station

database which serves many users in many countries. This means that

there is a very wide range of program 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 Standby button to switch the radio on. Then press the Radio button to select the

internet radio mode display.

2. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel (Alternatively, Folder Up or Down buttons

on the remote control handset) to enter the main Internet radio menu. Press the Tuning Up or

Down buttons on the panel (Alternatively, Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control

handset) until ‘Station list’ is highlighted on the display and then press the Select button to

select the option.

3. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel until ‘Stations’ is highlighted on the display

and then press the Select button. Note that the menu may offer one or more local selections

based upon the country in which the unit is being used, according to your internet IP address

(‘United Kingdom’and ‘BBC’ stations, for example).

4. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel until ‘Location’ is highlighted on the display

and then press the Select button to select.

5. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel to scroll through the list of continents. When

the desired continent is highlighted press the Select button to enter your selection.

6. The display will show a list of countries within the chosen continent. If there are many countries

shown you can scroll through the list continually in either direction. For example, if the chosen

continent was Europe, then to find the United Kingdom scroll up from the top of the list to

the bottom by pressing the Tuning Up button. Press the Select button to choose the desired

country.

7. You will typically nd that you then have the option to select either ‘All Stations’ or one of a

number of categories. The lists are always sorted alphabetically, and long lists will wrap around

from top to bottom or bottom to top.

then press the Select button to enter your selection. The display will show ‘Connecting…’ while

the radio connects to the new station. The station should then start playing. Adjust the volume

as needed.

If the station has on-demand content, that is, it gives the option of listening to programs which

have already been broadcast or to Podcasts, there will be an additional screen showing the

radio station name as well as a ‘Podcasts’ option. These are selected using additional menus,

determined by the radio station and the content. There may simply be a list of programs,

or there may also be options to choose from broadcasts on particular dates or days of the

week. The examples shown here are typical. Podcasts and Listen Again content can also be

accessed separately from the main Internet Radio menu.

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 preset time.

The radio station may not be able to accommodate any more connections from internet listeners.

The broadcaster may limit listening to speci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.

Podcasts

Some radio stations allow you to listen to programs that have already been broadcast. The BBC’s

Listen Again service is an example of this. In addition, radio broadcasters and individuals may

make programs 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 programs and Podcasts are grouped together as Podcasts, and the same menu is used

to access and listen to both types of programming. Listen Again programs are also accessible

Customizing your radio

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

Internet in order to 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 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. 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 radio switched on and in Internet radio mode, press and hold the Menu button, then

select 'Station list' using the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control and Select

buttons. Scroll down the Station list menu to the item called 'Help'. Press the Select button to

enter the Help menu.

3. In the Help menu, select the menu item ‘Get access code.’ Provided that the radio 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 late you must

repeat this process to get a fresh access code.

4. You should then use the code displayed by the radio 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 data base, 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 favorite and added radio station details.

The Sangean SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) can only play MP3, WMA, AAC and Real Audio internet

radio streams.

Note that the audio coding formats listed are generic terms. There are many variations of each

format, as well a variety of streaming protocols in use by different radio broadcasters. Your radio

has been designed to play the vast majority of coding and streaming formats in current use by

broadcasters.

Music player

Use with Windows, Apple Mac and Linux

The Music Player allows you to play audio fi les which are stored on computer in your network.

In order to play  les from a computer on your network, your radio must

connect to a fi le server program on your computer which uses the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol (often known as DLNA). If your computer uses Windows 7 or Windows 8 then your computer already has a UPnP server program available. This is Windows Media

Player (version 12), and it can share your audio  les with your radio. It allows you to select les by Album, Artist, and so on using your radio's

controls. Throughout this section, where Windows 8 is mentioned, this also includes Windows 8.1.

Windows Media Player is less 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 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.

Windows Media Player can serve MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV  les to

your radio. If you are an Apple Mac or Linux user, or if you have your

audio  les stored in other formats, such as FLAC, there are other UPnP

server programs which you may use with your radio. Note that Apple computers do not support UPnP streaming natively and that Apple does not license their own equivalent streaming protocol (DAAP) to third parties.

The Music Player on the radio can playback audio files in MP3,

WMA, AAC, FLAC and WAV formats. WMA Lossless 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 les encoded using WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional, and for les which have DRM protection are 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 les

according to the folders within which they are stored as well as other criteria.

Some third part server application allow customization of the search

criteria and indexing methods. This can useful of you have a very large

collection of store music les.

Here is a short selection of alternative UPnP server applications,

although many other are available.

Twonky Media Server (Windows, Apple Mac, Linux)

TVersity (Windows)

Elgato EyeConnect (for Apple Mac OS X)

Media Tomb (Linux, MAC OS X)

Please refer to the documentation for your chosen server application for

full details of its conguration and usage.

Accessing your audio les via a UPnP server

If your computer is running Windows 7 or 8, then Windows Media Player version 12 includes a

UPnP server which will make your les available to your radio. If you have Windows Vista or XP (Please refer to the section of ‘Accessing your audio les via

a UPnP server using Windows Vista and XP’). 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 section). 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 12

1. Windows Media Player 12 (referred to here as WMP 12) can create a library from all the media

les available 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 to quickly

enable media streaming to your radio.

3. Press the Standby button to switch the unit on. Then press the Media button as needed until

the Music Player mode display is shown. The main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.

4. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel until 'Shared media' is highlighted and

press the Select button to select. The radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. It may take

a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan. The radio will display '<Empty>' if no UPnP

servers are found.

5. After scanning, select your UPnP server using the Tuning Up or Down and Select buttons on

the panel. 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 'Unauthorized' 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 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' rewall 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 radio, select the named server again using the Tuning Up or Down and Select buttons.

If WMP 12 is now able to communicate with your radio you will be presented with some media

selection options on the display.

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

the les that you wish to play as follows:-

1. Press the Standby button to switch on the unit. Press the Media button as needed until the

Music Player mode display is shown. The main Music Player menu will then be displayed.

2. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel until 'Shared media' is highlighted on the

display and then press the Select button to cause the radio to scan for UPnP servers. Note

that it may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan. The display will return to the

Music Player menu if no UPnP servers are found.

3. After a successful scan, press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel to highlight your

UPnP server and then press the Select button. If the display shows multiple media types,

select 'Music'. (Some UPnP servers can serve pictures and video content to suitable devices.)

4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available by the UPnP server -

for example, 'Album', 'Artist' and 'Genre'. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel

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 Tuning Up or Down buttons (on the

panel) 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 information such as 'album art' which it can display when you examine your music

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

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.

Display modes

Your radio has a range of display options when in Music Player mode. Note that the availability 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 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 radios internal buffer status during media playback.

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

radio is obtaining the media from a UPnP server.

The SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) is able to display the album art for the track being played. The

ability of the radio to display art depends on the presence of the art in the  le being played, the

art being not too large (or being re-sized by the server), and the ability of the UPnP server to

send the art to the radio. Art sent to the radio needs to be in a JPEG format and no larger than

640 x 480 pixels. If the radio does not receive any art then a default icon is displayed. Some

UPnP server applications will also send a default icon if no art is found within the fi le being

played. Some UPnP server applications will be able to re-size the art, if needed, before sending

it to the radio. If the radio expects to receive art but none is provided then no art or icon will be

displayed. Due to the wide variations in album art formats and UPnP/DLNA standards, the failure

of the radio to display album art is not considered to be a fault.

Wake On LAN

If you use a computer as a UPnP server for playing your music les via your radio, you may not

wish to keep that computer running when you are not using the radio. If your computer is suitably

congured, it can either shut down, or enter a standby or hibernation state when it is not being

used.

Your radio can wake up a computer which has shut down using a Wake On LAN command via

the network provided that the radio has previously connected to a UPnP server application on

that computer. A computer which is not currently active will be shown with a question mark in the

list of UPnP servers.

Many computers will not respond to Wake On LAN commands from the radio in all modes, and

may require software, device driver, BIOS, hardware or router configuration changes for this

function to operate. Failure of a computer to respond to Wale On Lan is not considered a fault of

the radio.

Prune servers

Your radio stores details of the UPnP servers that it has seen via its network connection in its

internal memory. If you use the radio at different locations you may nd that there are servers

listed by the radio that are no longer available. The prune servers functions allows the list to be

reinitialized so that only active UPnP servers on the currently connected network are shown when

selecting ‘Shared Media’ from the Music Player menu.

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

2. Press the Folder up/down button until ‘Prune servers’ is highlighted on the display. Press the

Select button to enter the setting.

3. To remove servers that are no longer required press the Folder up/down button until ‘Yes’ is

highlighted on the display. Press the Select button to cause the servers to be removed.

Keep network connected

By default, your radio will shut down its WiFi connection when it is in standby. This minimizes power consumption but it does mean that you will need to switch that radio on manually in order to use either the ‘Play to’ function or any other remote control software. If you need to be able to remotely control the radio even when it has been put into standby, then you can choose to keep the network connected by using the ‘Keep network connected’ option in the network setting menu. In the standby mode display either the WiFi signal indicator is shown with or without a cross through it according to the chosen network settings.

Windows 7’Play to’ function (UPnP renderer)

If your use Window 7, it is possible to choose a music album, track or playlist at the computer and then tell Windows that this should be played on the radio using the ‘Play to’ function. Using suitable software (sometimes known as a UPnP Control Point), similar functionality is available for other computer types and for handheld devices using Apple’s iOS or Android operating systems. In this mode the radio acts as a UPnP Renderer.

1. In order to use the ‘Play to’ function, the radio must be actively connected to the network. The

rst time that you use the ‘Play to’ function you will need to allow Windows to recognize your

radio. To do this, please go to step 2. If you have previously used ‘Play to’ so that Windows

remembers your radio and you have congured your radio to keep its network connection in

standby mode, then go to step 3.

2. If your radio is not currently running, or does not have an active connection to your network,

then should rst switch on your radio and select the Music player mode. Then select ‘Shared

media’ from the menu so that the radio establishes a connection with Windows Media Player

on your PC. After this step, all other functions may be performed from your computer.

3. At your Windows 7 PC, locate the le, album or playlist that you wish to play on the radio.

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

the ‘Play to’ option.

5. Windows should show you one or more devices, including your radio, to which you may

choose to send the music. Highlight the radio item and click with the left mouse button.

06/04/2011

6. Windows will then open a ‘Play to’ window showing the track or tracks to be played. Your

computer will then take control of your radio. Your radio will then enter the Digital Media

Renderer mode (DMR) and after a few seconds the radio will start playing. The display on the

radio will show that it is in DMR mode.

7. While the radio is playing in DMR mode you can use the controls in the ‘Play to’ window on

your computer to skip tracks, fast-forward or rewind, to pause or restart, and to change the

volume on the radio. You may also use the controls on your radio to adjust volume, display

track information (press the Info button) or to change operating mode. It is not possible to skip

tracks or pause playback using the radio’s controls while it is in DMR mode.

8. While playing, you may select additional content within Windows and again use the ‘Play to’

function (see step 3-5). The additional tracks will be added to the playlist in the current ‘Play to’

window. You may also delete or change the order of tracks within the ‘Play to’ window.

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

to select a different operating mode.

Don’t forget that in order to reselect the DMR mode and to be able to use ‘Play to’ from

Windows you must rst ensure that your radio has an active connection to your network (see

step 1 and 2 above).

Note:

Some Windows security software can prevent correct operation of the ‘Play to’ function. Such

software may have updates or configuration options which will permit ‘Play to’ to operate

correctly-please consult your anti-virus software supplier. The ‘Play to’ function in Windows 7

has been tested successfully with the SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) radio when using Microsoft’s

security Essentials software without problems.

Streaming data rate - Spotify Connect

Your radio can change different music streaming quality when you stream content from Spotify. If your internet connection has a low data usage allowance, or has a relatively low maximum data rate, it is strongly suggested that your radio uses a lower streaming quality (data rate) for Spotify connections. In some cases this may allow more reliable streaming, although some loss of audio quality will occur.

The data rate used for Spotify Connect is con gured on a web browser.

1. You need to access the radio's con guration web page following the steps below:

Access the menu for the current mode by pressing and holding the Menu button> Select

“System settings”> Select “Network”> Select “View settings”> Use the Select button to enter

the “View settings” and IP address is shown on the display> Note down the IP address shown

on the display for the next stage> Ensure that your computer/Smartphone is on the same

network as the radio. Enter the IP address noted above into the address bar of your web

browser.

2. When you enter the radio’s conguration web page, the top page allows you to choose the

streaming quality (96k/160k/320k). The selected streaming quality will be applied when your

radio streams music from a new playlist of Spotify.

Friendly name - Spotify Connect

You can personalize the name of your radio so that it can be easily identied within connected

network, UPnP server or Spotify app.

1. Follow the steps described in point 1 above and you can view some of the radios settings as

well as changing the “Friendly name.”

2. Type the name in the box and click Apply to save the change. The new Friendly name will be

viewable on the connect network devices.

Listening music via Bluetooth streaming

Bluetooth

You need to pair your Bluetooth device with SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) before you can auto-link to play/stream Bluetooth music through your radio. Paring creates a `bond' so two devices can recognize each other.

Pairing and playing your Bluetooth device for the rst time

1. Press the Media button repeatedly as needed so that Bluetooth mode is selected on the

display.

2. Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device's user manual to link to the radio.

Locate the Bluetooth device list and select the device named ‘SmartLink 9.’ With some mobiles (which are equipped with earlier versions than BT2.1 Bluetooth device), you may need to input the pass code “0000”.

3. Once connected, the name of your connected Bluetooth device will show on the display.

You can simply select and play any music from your source device. Volume control can be adjusted from your source device, or directly from the radio.

4. Use the controls on your Bluetooth-enabled device or on the radio to play/pause and navigate

tracks.

Note:

1) If 2 Bluetooth devices, pairing for the first time, both search for your radio, it will show its

availability on both devices. However, if one device links with this unit first, then the other

Bluetooth device won't nd it on the list.

2) If you take your source device out of range, the connection will be temporarily disconnected

to your radio. Your radio will automatically reconnect if the source device is brought back in range. Be aware that during the period of disconnection, no other Bluetooth device can pair or link with your radio.

3) If ‘SmartLink 9” shows in your Bluetooth device list but your device cannot connect with it,

please delete the item from your list and pair the device with the radio again following the steps described previously.

4) The effective operation range between the system and the paired device is approximately 10

meters (30 feet). Any obstacle between the system and the device can reduce the operational range.

5) Bluetooth/NFC connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected Bluetooth

devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting to your radio. All features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth devices.

MP3 / WMA CD Mode

The SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3 and WMA

les. It is assumed in this section that a le is equivalent to a CD track. An MP3/WMA CD may not contain more than 512 les and not more than 99 folders. MP3 and WMA les should be created with an audio sample rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for les created

from CD audio content). MP3 and WMA data rates up to 320 kilobits per second are supported. WMA Lossless files are not supported. The unit will not play files which include digital rights management (DRM) protection.

When burning CD-R and CD-RW discs with audio les, various problems may arise which could

lead to problems with playback. Typically such problems are caused by poor CD writing or audio encoding software, or by the hardware settings of the PC's CD writer, or by the CD being used. Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD writer or software manufacturer or look in their product documentation for relevant information. When you are making audio CDs, take care to observe all legal guidelines and ensure that the copyright of third parties is not infringed.

1. To select the CD mode press the Media button until 'CD' shows on the display, or insert a

suitably prepared CD-R or CD-RW disc.

2. Insert a CD with printed side facing up into the CD slot. The disc will be loaded automatically.

The unit will check the CD type and load its track list. The display will show "reading" as the

information is read. If there are many les or folders on the CD then it may take some tens of

seconds to read all of the le and folder names and to identify those which are playable (with

.mp3 or .wma lename extension).

Recording to SD / USB

Your SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) radio has been designed to allow you to make recordings to SD/

SDHC cards or to USB connected memory devices. Recordings are made in MP3 format at 128k

bits per second.

SD/SDHC or USB memory media must use the FAT32 le system in order to operate with the

SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT). Such media is usually supplied already formatted or can be formatted

using a PC with a suitable card reader (for SD/SDHC cards) or USB connection (for USB

memory).

It is possible to record onto media which already contains les written by the radio or using your

computer. The recorded les will be added to those already present on the media.

Making a recording

1. Select the desired source for the recording (Internet Radio, DAB, FM, CD, etc.). Internet Radio

is shown in the illustration. Set the volume to the required listening level (the volume of the

recording will not be affected by this).

2. Insert the media on to which the recording is to be made.

3. Press the Record button. The display will show "Record initial...". Recording will then start with

the recording source shown on the display. If only one media type is present, then after a short

while recording will start. If both SD and USB media are detected, then the radio will default to

the option previously set. The default media option is accessed through the 'System settings'

menu then by selecting 'Rec default dest.'. Select 'SD card' or 'USB' memory as needed.

The illustration shows the folders as they may appear on a PC running Windows with les in the

CD folder being shown on the right.

Note:

The SD card/USB memory device should only be removed when recording is stopped. Removing

media while recording is in progress may corrupt data on the card leading to the loss of files

previously written.

The USB connection is primarily intended to be used to allow the SmartLink 9 (DDR-66BT) to

play MP3 and WMA les from solid-state ash memory devices. You may be able to play les

which have been stored on a USB hard disc drive (but the drive must have its own power supply).
