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 congured 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.

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.

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

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 conrm 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

do not wish to use daylight savings then press the Select button to conrm 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.

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 conguration or if you wish to set it up manually
then you should select ‘[Manual cong]’ 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 congured 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 cong]’ option in order to enter the network
details manually. This is described in ‘Manual Network Conguration”. 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 identication
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 congured 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)
select ‘ ’ when the complete key has been entered
select ‘ ’ to cancel an re-run the Network Wizard
If a WEP or WPA key has previously been entered for the selected SSID then the display will
show ‘Key: [Set]’. If you have previously entered a different key, you must clear this by
selecting the ‘ ’ symbol. This will remove the ‘[Set]’ indication. After the 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 congure
the network parameters. The steps outlined below describe how you can do this – see also the
section ‘Network Proles’.
Conguring 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.
Conguring 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 conguration, or if your network is congured 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 reect 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 congure 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 specied 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 congured) 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
denes 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.

control) to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all eight groups

To enterthe SSID, characters are selected and entered using the Folder Up or Down, Left

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 specied 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

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.
21
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.

8. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel to highlight your chosen radio station and
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 specic 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.

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
viathe Stations menu.
1. Press and hold the Menu button to enter the main Internet radio menu. Press the Tuning Up
or Down buttons on the panel (or the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control) until
‘Station list’ is highlighted on the display and then press the Select button.
2. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel (or Folder Up or Down buttons on the
remote control) until ‘Podcasts’ is highlighted on the display and press the Select button.
3. You may then search by location, genre, or using part of the name of the podcast. The
searches operate in exactly the same way as when searching for a conventional radio station.
Searching by location is done rst by continent, then by country. You may then list ‘All shows’
or search within a country by genre. Searching by genre is more direct, since once the genre is
chosen the next menu display shows a list of available podcasts. Searching by name operates
in the same way as when searching for a named radio station, selecting the ‘ ’ symbol when
you have entered the text. You may enter one or more pieces of text which will be used for the
search.
4. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the panel (or the Folder Up or Down buttons on
remote control) and then press the Select button to conrm your chosen podcast. The display
will show ‘Connecting…’ while it nds the new program.
