Before you can use this product Introduction

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

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

Player functions).

● A wireless access point (WiFi) or a wired Ethernet connection connected

to your broadband Internet Service Provider, preferably via a router.

In many cases the broadband modem, router and wireless access

point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service

Provider or bought from a computer store.

● If your wireless network is 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 radio to communicate with the network, or your

router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).

If connecting using WiFi, the radio will typically work within a 10-20 meter

radius from your wireless access point. The actual range achieved will

depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless networks, and

possible interference sources. DAB and FM radio functions can operate

wherever the radio is able to receive a suitable broadcast signal.

IMPORTANT:

Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point or router

is powered up and working with your broadband Internet service (use your

computer to verify this). To get this part of the system working you must

read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point or router.

Using the touch screen

The WFR-2D internet radio has a high resolution color display with touch sensitive controls.

When using the internet radio, the display shows only the controls that are needed at each stage

of its operation. To operate the controls simply touch the button area with the tip of a nger for

about half a second until the command has been accepted.

You may find that at first, the internet radio does not always detect that you have touched a

button. If so, try touching with a little more pressure, or for slightly longer. You will soon nd the

optimum touch needed to control your internet radio.

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

This section describes the basic means of controlling your WFR-2D internet radio. Instructions for

each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.

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

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

2. Touching the Mode buttons on the Home menu screen gives you access to each of the operating

modes: DAB radio, FM radio, Internet radio, iPod, My Music, Auxiliary Input, Alarms and Settings.

3. Touch the Menu bar on screen to access a high level menu for the current operating mode.

Touching the bar a second time will normally cause the radio to revert to the previous display

or menu.

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

5. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. This is done by touching

the relevant item on the touch screen. If there are more than four items in a menu, then you

will need to touch the Up or Down arrows so that the additional items become visible. The sliding

scroll bar on the right will give an indication showing the current portion of the menu that is displayed.

Pressing the area between the arrow and the bar will cause the menu to scroll further if there

are many items. If there are many items in a menu, then the radio allows the menu to 'wrap

around' in either direction. This can make it easier to reach items at the end of a long menu,

such as a list of countries or Internet radio stations.

6. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back to a higher

level menu by pressing the Back button on the screen.

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

screen.

8. Touch the Volume button and then use the + or - buttons on the screen or use the Rotary Volume

control until your required volume level is reached.

9. Your internet radio has a Play mode idle screen which displays the time and date with information

relevant to the operating mode but without the control buttons being visible. The time delay

before the idle screen is shown can be adjusted between 1 and 10 minutes see the section of

‘Idle time out’.

When the idle screen is shown touch the screen to reactivate the main play-mode screen.

10. Your radio has slideshow feature adding visual content from digital radio broadcasters. This

feature allows you to view photos of presenters and artists, including album covers and

concert information, as well as obtain general information, such as weather, travel, promotional

updates and advertising information.

Connecting your internet radio to your computer network

1. Place your internet radio on a at surface.

2. If you wish to use a wired network connection, plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 socket (marked LAN) at the back of the radio.

3. Plug the mains lead into the mains socket located at the back of your radio ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.

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

IMPORTANT:

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

5. When you apply power, the display on the radio will light up and say: 'WELCOME TO DIGITAL RADIO'. The rst time that you use your radio (or after a Factory Reset) the display will show 'Start setup wizard now' . Touch Yes on the screen to start the setup wizard. You will then need to select the desired language (go to step 7).

6. You are recommended to run the setup wizard, but if you wish not to, touch No on the display. The screen will ask if you wish to run the setup wizard again at the next start up. The radio will then enter standby mode with the clock not set.

7. For the language option, select English. You will then have a choice to set the clock to use the 12 or 24 hour format. Touch the desired hour format.

8. A menu allowing you to specify the synchronisation source for the clock will appear on the display. The default of Internet will be the best option for most users.

other than internet go to step 11. Otherwise you will rst need to select the correct time zone and

daylight savings setting, see steps 9 and 10. If you choose None you will need to set the clock

manually, see section ‘Manually setting the clock.’

9. Select the time zone which is applicable to your location.

10. 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).

11. The display will then show a list of WiFi region options for the network set up. Touch the

required region. Do this even if planning to use the wired Ethernet connection. Your radio will

then scan for available WiFi networks.

12. 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 13. To use the Ethernet connection to your router (with automatic

conguration), scroll through and touch the <Wired Network> menu item. The radio will attempt

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

address. The screen should say ‘Connecting,’ and then ‘Setup Wizard completed.’ Touch OK to

exit the setup wizard, the radio will enter Standby mode. You can then skip to step 20 .

There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you have problems with

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

Yellow ON= Link established ; OFF =no connection

Yellow Flashing= Data transfer

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

If your network does not support automatic conguration or if you wish to set it up manually then

you should select Manual Settings instead of selecting Wired in the Network Wizard, then see

the section of ‘Manual network conguration.’

13. 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 Protected Setup, then ‘[WPS]’ will be

shown in front of the SSID. It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio

will nd more than one wireless network, in which case you should choose which one you need

to connect to.

14. Scroll through the list to see the SSID for each wireless network that has been found. If your

network is shown proceed to step 16 on the next page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 15.

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

15. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is congured not to broadcast the SSID. You should then scroll through the menu and select Manual settings option in order to enter the network details manually. This is described in ‘Manual Network 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 radio to a location to a location closer to your access point/ router.

16. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to appears on the screen, touch to select. If WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) was indicated, you will see an additional menu at this point, otherwise proceed to step 17. Choose one of the WPS menu options as required for your router (WPS may be via push button, or using an identication number). 'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router or access point and touch OK on screen. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio. 'PIN' - the display shows an identication number which you must enter into your router using a web browser (refer to your router's user documentation). Then touch OK on screen on the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio. 'Skip WPS' - if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself. If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard and then go to paragraph 20 on the next page.

17. If your network is congured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard and enter Standby mode. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please go to paragraph 20 on the next page.

18. If the screen displays 'Network Key:', it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). You will need to enter the correct WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your wireless network. If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set up your network. Some wireless routers may come with an encryption key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the documentation provided with it. WPA is used here to also include WPA2.

WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Press the '123' button, then press

again when it shows 'hex'. This provides a simplified keyboard layout for the WEP key entry.

Some wireless routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported.

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

accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.

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

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

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

or the radio will not connect to the network. After the nal character of the WEP or WPA key

has been entered touch the tick symbol. The screen will show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup

wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard. The radio should now be able to connect

to the network.

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

go into Standby mode. It should then display the time as obtained from the Internet. If the time

display is not correct for any reason, it can easily be adjusted manually later, see the section

for ‘manually setting the clock.’

If you have followed the steps on the preceding sections successfully, your radio will have

connected to your router, and then made a connection to the Internet and set its clock. If this

is the case, then you can try listening to radio stations via the Internet as described in the

section of ‘Internet Radio’ onwards.

In the sections above, you choose 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 radios 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'

on. If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to the section of ‘Internet Radio’.

Conguring the radio to use an alternative WiFi connection

1. From the 'Settings'> 'Network settings' menu touch Network wizard. This will present you with

details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list and touch the desired network

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

the settings for the new network you may need to enter an encryption key. 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 RJ-45 socket (marked

LAN) at the back of the unit. From the 'Settings'>'Network settings' menu touch Network wizard.

This will present you with details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list and

touch the <Wired Network> option. The radio will then use its Ethernet connection to communicate

with the network. By default the unit will then acquire an IP address and other network settings

from your router using DHCP.

If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic 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 it is not recommended as a means of network security.)

1. From the radios 'Settings'>'Network settings' menu, touch Manual settings. You must then choose whether to connect using 'Wired' or 'Wireless' connections. If you choose 'Wireless' there are as many as eleven settings screens, shown by the '1 of 11' progress marker at the top of the display. If you choose 'Wired' there are seven screens and the progress marker will 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 Yes unless you need to specify the network details manually.

If you have chosen 'Wired' and then DHCP Yes, your radio should now establish a connection to the router using the Ethernet cable. Please skip to step 11 on page 20. If you chose 'Wireless' and DHCP Yes, please skip to step 6 in order to set up the wireless connection details. If you chose DHCP No for either connection method, the next step is to set up the IP address.

3. The manually 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 (Text entry is described on page 11). The display may show an address of 0.0.0.0. To delete a character touch backspace. To clear, touch and hold the backspace. Use digits and fullstop to enter the IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.25. Touch the tick symbol to conrm. 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 address.

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

address as your router (192.168.1.1 in the example shown). In this case the secondary DNS

may be left at zero.

Text entry is described in previous section ‘Text entry screens’. Touch the tick symbol to conrm.

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

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

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

of the wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password.

To enter the SSID see text entry on page 11. Do this as needed until the complete network name

has been entered. The SSID setting is sensitive to upper and lower case characters and symbols.

You must enter it exactly as set up in your router.

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

network. This should be the same as 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 'Pre-Shared' option

then go to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see

step 9.

8. If you chose 'Pre-Shared' in step 7, you should then choose the WEP option. The key should be

entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. The key will be 10 characters long for

64-bit encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. Spaces or special symbols are

not permitted in WEP keys. Use the '123' then 'hex' buttons to access a keyboard for WEP key

entry. Once the key is entered the radio should connect to your network. Please skip to step 11.

9. WPA and WPA2 are similar, although WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Whichever you

selected in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are TKIP (Temporal Key

Integrity Protocol) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As previously, the setting should

match that used by your router. Some routers allow both to be specied, and the router will use

whichever variant is supported by the connected device. AES is regarded as the more secure

option if it is available.

10. The radio will then require you to enter the encryption key. This must be a string of between 8

and 63 characters and must be identical to the key which has been entered into your router.

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

Take care to enter the key exactly, or the radio will not be able to connect to your router.

Once the key is entered the radio should connect to the network.

11. While the radio is trying to connect to the network, it will display 'Processing...' when checking

the encryption key (if using the WiFi connection) and then 'Connecting...'. If the connection is

made successfully, the radio will return to the Network settings menu. If the unit cannot connect,

then it will display a 'Failed to connect' message and will return to the SSID entry screen (step 6).

Once connected, the network settings are stored in the radio. The settings are retained when

the radio is disconnected from the mains. You may now use the Back and Mode buttons to

access the functions of your radio.

Internet Radio - the basics

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

have connected it to your computer network using either the wireless (WiFi) connection or the

wired Ethernet connection (RJ-45 socket) located on the back of the unit.

There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the Internet as well as

'Podcasts'. Your radio provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to make nding

and choosing them easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you may add them

to a list of your favorite stations which your radio can access. 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 WFR-2D radio connects to a radio station database which serves many users in many

countries. This means that there is a very wide range of programme content available. You can

also search for stations which have been recently added to those available (new stations) or you

can search for the most popular.

If your radio cannot connect to a radio station

Note:

If your radio is unable to connect to an internet radio station it will generally either display

'Network Error' or 'Stopped'. This can be for many reasons, but typically will be due to one of the

following:

The radio station may not be broadcasting at the present time.

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

The broadcaster may limit listening to 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.

Use the scroll bar to scroll through a list. Touch the Up or Down arrows or press the area

between the arrow and the bar to cause the menu to scroll further if there are many items. It

there are many items in a menu, then the radio allows the menu to ‘warp 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.

radio station name.

<Search stations> is accessed via the Stations menu.

You can refer to section of ‘Text entry screens’ for how to enter text.

The radio will search for radio stations that match your search data. If you include a space

between two search items the radio will look for station names which included both items. Thus

a search for ‘Rock 100’ could nd s station called ‘100 Classics Rock Hits’ as well as a station

called ‘100.FM Rocks.’

Touch the station that you wish to listen to. The display will show ‘Connecting…’ while it nds a

As described in the section 'Internet Radio - the basics', your radio connects via the Internet to

a database of radio stations. This option is provided to highlight stations which are newly added

to the list of those available, or stations which are particularly popular with listeners around the

world. Your radio allows you to easily choose stations from these two categories, using menus

similar to those used when nding stations by location and genre.

New and Popular stations are accessed from the Stations menu.

Last Listened

It is often helpful to be able to go back to a station that you have recently listened to. Your radio

has a 'Last Listened' feature which provides you with quick access to the most recently listened

to radio stations or podcasts. As each new radio station is listened to the oldest item is deleted

from the list. The Last Listened list is stored when the radio is disconnected from the mains.

The Last Listened stations list is accessed from the Internet radio bar.

may make programmes which are intended normally to be downloaded into a computer or copied

onto a portable media player. These are commonly known as Podcasts.

On your radio, both Listen Again programmes and Podcasts are grouped together as Podcasts,

and the same menu is used to access and listen to both types of programming. Listen Again

programmes are also accessible via the Stations menu.

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

Touch Browse station list, then select Podcasts.

You may then search by location, genre, or using part of the name of the podcast. The searches

operate in exactly the same way as when searching for a conventional radio station.

Stations which enable you to listen to previously broadcast programmes also may allow you

to fast-forward, rewind to any point within the programme, play/ pause or simply stop the

programme playing.

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

Customising your radio

Your radio allows you to create customized lists of stations which can appear in two special menus on the radio called ‘My Favorites’ 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 personals 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 Favorites’ 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.wi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, Select the Internet

Radio menu bar once or twice to enter the Internet menu list, Touch Browse station list, scroll down and select Help.

3. In the Help menu, touch 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 later 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 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 favorite and added radio station details.

Conguring My Favorite Stations

1. Using the web site at http://www.wiradio-frontier.com it is possible

to search among the many radio stations that are available by location,

genre, or language. You may also choose from new or popular stations.

2. When the radio stations that you have found are shown on your computer

screen, they are shown with a 'Play' icon and an 'Add to favorites' icon

(the plus symbol and heart). Clicking on the 'Play' icon will allow you to

hear the radio station via your computer. Clicking on the 'Add to favorites'

icon will cause the radio station to be added to the list accessible via

your radio.

3. To help you organize your favorites, and since you may have a great

many after a while, the web site will allow you to specify the name for

a category or group under which the radio station will be listed on your

radio. Suitable names might be 'Rock', 'Smooth', 'Mum's stations', and

so on. When ever you add another radio station to your favorites you

can either add it to an existing category or create a new one.

4. Once you have Internet radio stations available in your My Favorite

Stations list, you may play these stations from your radio. These stations

will be available on your radio from the Internet radio menu item My

Favorites.

5. To look at, modify or delete your favorite stations lists on the web site,

use the link 'My favorites' in the 'My account' area. To delete a favorite

radio station, click on the icon with a heart and minus symbol.

Conguring My Added Stations

1. If you wish to listen to a radio station which is not currently held in the

database at http://www.wiradio-frontier.com it is possible to add

the details yourself. You will need to obtain the internet address (URL)

for the audio stream for the station that you wish to add. This may be

information provided by the radio station itself, via its web site, or perhaps

passed to you from another listener.

Note: The URL for the audio stream will generally not be the URL for

the web page from which you listen to the station on your PC.

2. Use the 'My added stations' link in the 'My account' area on the web

site. This allows you to add details of new stations or to modify those

already added. You can provide a name for the radio station which will

be shown on your radio. You must also provide the web address, location

and format details.

3. Once you have Internet radio stations available in your My Added

Stations list, you may play these stations from your radio. These stations

will be available on your radio from the Internet radio menu item My

Added Stations.

4. It is possible to add the web addresses for audio streams which may

not be playable by your radio. If you attempt to play such a stream,

your radio will normally display an error message of some kind. The

WFR-2D can only play MP3, WMA, FLAC, AAC and Real Audio streams.

5. To look at, modify or delete your added stations list on the web site,

use the link 'My added stations' in the 'My account' area. To delete an

added radio station, click on the icon with a heart and minus symbol.

Music Player

Use with Windows, Apple Mac, Linux, USB memory

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

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

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

The Music Player on the radio can playback audio les in MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC and WAV formats. WMA Lossless les can also be played when usin g Win dow s Med ia Player as it will conv ert t hese to a compatible format before streaming them to the radio. Note that the playback of les encoded using WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional, and of les which have DRM protection is not supported.

Whe n using a UPnP s erver, t he search and selectio n criteri a 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.

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.

Some third party server applications allow customisation of the search

criteria and indexing methods. This can be useful if you have a very

large collection of stored music les.

Here is a short selection of alternative UPnP server app licatio ns,

although many others are available:

Twonky Media Server (Windows, Apple Mac, Linux)

TVersity (Windows) *

Elgato EyeConnect (for Apple Mac OS X) *

MediaTomb (Linux, MAC OS X) *

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

Please refer to the documentation for your chosen server application for

full details of its conguration and usage.

Accessing your audio les via a UPnP server

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

server which will make your les available to your radio. If you have Windows Vista or XP please

see the later section of ‘Accessing your radio audio files 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 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 rst choice for the majority of users.

Set up UPnP access with Windows Media Player 12

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

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 to quickly enable

media streaming to your radio.

3. Press the On/Standby control and select the My Music mode button from the home menu

screen. The main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.

4. Touch Shared Media. The radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. It may take a few seconds

for the radio to complete its scan. The radio will display 'No UPnP service' if no UPnP servers

are found.

5. After scanning, select your UPnP server. If you allowed automatic connection previously, your

radio should now connect and you may skip to the next page.

If you did not permit automatic connections, your radio will then normally display 'Unauthorised'

at this stage.

6. Your PC may prompt you that there has been a connection to your UPnP server. Whether prompted

or not, in order that the radio may access the music 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. 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:-

From the home menu select My Music mode button,

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

seconds for the radio to complete its scan.

After a successful scan, select your UPnP server. If the display shows multiple media types,

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

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

example, 'Album', 'Artist' and 'Genre'. Select the category you wish to browse. If you wish to use

the search function touch Search. You may select characters to build a keyword for searching for

content to play.

When you first set up sharing with a UPnP server, it is likely that 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.

Some UPnP server applications allow the search options to be customised. The searches

described here are just examples of the possibilities.

Listening to a complete album

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

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

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

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

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

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

above to choose a different selection. When you select the track from which to play, the radio will

then immediately begin playing the new selection.

When playing a track in Music Player mode the display typically shows Artist, Album and track

name. Depending on the media and the server,album art may also be displayed.

Touch the Information button to view additional information.

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).

The time is displayed in the top-left corner of the display, and a WiFi strength or Ethernet

connection indicator is shown in the top-right corner.

Using USB memory devices

This section describes how to use your radio to access and playback your audio les via USB memory devices. USB memory devices plug into the rectangular slot located beneath the touch screen.

Important:

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

The WFR-2D radio has been tested with a range of USB memory devices of up to 64GB capacity. USB memory must use the FAT or FAT 32 ling system in order to operate with the radio. It is possible to use SD or SDHC cards for media storage and playback when held in a suitable USB adaptor. However, due to the wide variation of such adaptors, it is not possible to guarantee that all adaptor / card combinations will work in the radio.

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

Recommendations: Unless you have only a few les on the USB memory device, do not place all les in the root folder. The number of items (files/sub directories) in any directory should be less than 2000. Searching and playback will be more responsive if the number of les in any one folder is limited (we suggest not more than 250). It is recommended that the USB memory is reformatted in your computer before adding your music les. The maximum depth of folder nesting permitted is 8 directory levels (but playback is only from the currently selected folder).

Cautions: In order to minimise the risk of damage to your radio or your USB memory, please place the unit such that the memory device cannot easily be knocked while it is inserted in the socket. Remove the USB memory before carrying the unit or if not using the USB feature for a prolonged period. Place the unit in Standby mode before removing your USB memory device.

Note:

Shufe and Playlist functions are limited to 500 tracks.

Files are played in the order in which they exist in the ling system of the USB memory (they are

not sorted by le name or track number).

Controlling playback from the USB memory device including Shuffle and Repeat functions is

explained on section of ‘Repeat tracks’ and ‘Shufe tracks’.

The shufe play function may only be used if the current selection comprises fewer than 500

tracks.

Note:

When playing from USB media, the information displays is limited to the lename. The display of

tags and album art is not supported.

Alarm 1 or Alarm 2

Enable: Off (Alarm will be disabled), Daily, Once, Weekend, Weekday

Time

Mode: DAB, FM, iPod, Internet Radio, Last.fm and Buzzer

Volume: The radio uses the saved volume setting for each alarm when it sounds.

Note: When setting the alarm to Once you will need to set the correct date and time. If the radio

has been set to use a 12 hour clock format, there will also be an option here for setting AM or PM

for the alarm time.

Note: When DAB or FM radio mode is selected, the radio alarm may be set to any of the

From time to time, new software features for your radio may be developed. Your radio has therefore been designed to allow its internal software to be updated using your Internet connection. You should not attempt to update your radio unless it is recommended to you by Roberts Customer Services. Updating the software may remove all network settings, radio station presets and alarm settings from your radio. It is important that you do not attempt this procedure unless you have a good Internet connection and a reliable mains power supply. If the radio connects to your router using a WiFi connection, make sure that this is also reliable before proceeding.

From the home menu press the Settings mode button. The mai n settings menu wi ll be displayed.

Select Miscellaneous settings.

Select Software update, the current setting will appear in yellow. If you want your radio to check periodically for new software versions select Enabled to proceed. If you wish to disable the software update select Disable.

To check if there are any software updates available currently, touch Check for Updates. The radio will check to see if an update is available. The display will show 'Checking'. If there are no updates then the display will show 'Software up to date'. If a software update is available your radio will then offer the choice of updating the software or not, displaying 'New version available. Update software?'. Touch Yes option if you wish to go through the update process.

If you choose to update your radio it will rst download the new software and will then reprogram its internal memory. This may take a few minutes depending on the speed of your internet connection. Once the software update is completed, the radio will prompt you to restart. You may nd that you will need to recongure your network connection following an update. You may also need to reenter all radio station presets, alarm settings, and conguration options.

VERY IMPORTANT:

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

Each time that you connect your radio to a WiFi network, the radio will store the details of that

connection (SSID, security key, DHCP/IP address settings) as a prole. Up to four such proles

are stored in the radio so that if the unit is used in multiple locations there is no need to enter the

network settings when returning to a location previously visited.

The radio stores the four most recent proles in memory identied by their SSID. Normally the

radio will attempt to connect to one of the stored proles and only if it is unable to do so will you

need to use the Network Wizard.

In the event that you visit a location only once you may wish to delete the prole for the network

Accessing your radio audio les via a UPnP server using Windows Vista

and XP

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

a UPnP server which will make your les available to your radio. There are other UPnP server

solutions available for non-Windows users and for Windows users who may wish to use an

alternative (see the preceding page).

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 on a Windows PC

1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP then you can use Microsoft's

Windows Media Player version 11 to act as your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server.

If not already installed on your PC, Windows Media Player 11 may be downloaded from Microsoft’s

web site and installed by following the instructions detailed in its installation wizard, or by using

Microsoft's Windows Update facility.

2. Once installed, Windows Media Player 11 can create a library from all the media les available

to it on your PC. To add new media files to the library, select the 'Library' tab, then 'Add to

Library… > Advanced Options', click 'Add', choose the les you wish to add and click ‘OK’.

The next step is to connect your radio to Windows Media Player 11 and to congure the program

to allow the radio to access your media library.

3. Press the On/Standby button to switch the unit on. Then touch the My Music mode button until

the main 'Music Player' menu is displayed.

Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC - cont.

My Music

Touch Shared media. The radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. It may take a few

seconds for the radio to complete its scan. The radio will display 'No UPnP service' if no UPnP

servers are found.

4. After scanning, select your UPnP server. If you are using WMP 11 as the server, your radio will

then normally display 'Unauthorised ' at this stage.

5. Your PC may prompt you that there has been a connection to your UPnP server. Whether prompted

or not, in order that the radio may access the music les, you will need to click the 'Library' tab

in WMP 11 and select the 'Media Sharing…' item to open the 'Media Sharing' window. Make sure

the box 'Share my media to:' is ticked.

6. In the 'Media Sharing' window, the radio will be listed as an unknown device. Click on the unknown

device shown to select it, then click the 'Allow' button and then click 'OK'.

Note:

If you are using Microsoft Windows' rewall software, this should be correctly congured by

WMP 11. If you are using third party rewall software you may need to manually congure it to

allow your unit and WMP 11 to communicate.

7. On the radio, touch the named server again. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with your

radio you will be presented with some media selection options on the display.

Audio codecs

Your radio supports a range of audio codecs which provide compatibility with a wide range of Internet Radio stations. These also allow users to stream music from their computers or to play directly from USB  ash memory devices. Note that for any given audio codec, there are many streaming protocols available, and thus even if an Internet Radio station uses a supported format, this does not guarantee that every such station will work with your radio. The radio stations database to which your radio connects is checked for compatibility so that most stations should be playable without problems. Similarly when streaming media from a computer, while a codec may be supported, there can be many subtle variations in formats, tagging schemes and protocols (even within UPnP). In general your radio will play the supported formats with most common UPnP servers.

Bit-Rates

The following table summarises the maximum supported bit-rates for the various audio formats that are playable on your radio. Higher rates may be playable in some cases but performance of the product may be affected.

Codec Maximum supported rate

AAC (LC) 320 kbits/sec FLAC (1) 1.5 Mbits/sec LPCM (2) 1.536 Mbits/sec MP3 320 kbits/sec Real Audio 64 kbits/sec WAV 1.536 Mbits/sec WMA (3) 320 kbits/sec

All codecs support 2-channel (stereo) coded les only. All codecs support sample rates up to 48 kbits/sec (includes 32 and 44.1 kbits/sec). Files which have Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection applied will not be playable on your radio. (1) 16 and 24 bit samples are supported in FLAC les (2) The maximum supported bit-rate is for a 48 kHz sampling, 2 channels and 16-bits per sample. (3) WMA Lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional, and les which have DRM protection are not supported.
