Before you can use this product

Before you can use your Internet ra dio, you must have the f ollowing: A broadband Internet connection. A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) or a wired Ethernet connection (10 or 100 Mbits/sec with RJ45 connection; For RCR-7 only) connected to your broadband Internet, prefera bly via a router. In many cases the broadband modem, router and wireless access point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service Provider or bought from a computer store. If your wireless network is configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption then you need to know the WEP or WPA key so you can get the Internet radio to communicate with the network.

The Internet radio will typically work within a 10-20 meter radius from your wireless access point. The actual range a chieved will depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless networks, and possible interference sources.

IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point or router is powered up and working with your broadba nd 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.

Connecting your radio to your network

1. Place your radio on a surface and plug the mains lea d into the M ains input socket located on the rear of your radio (marked ) ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.

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

There are 2 days of connecting your radio to the network, wired and wireless:

When using a wired (LAN) network (For RCR-7WF only)

1. Connect the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 socket at the ba ck of the radio. If a wired connection is present then the radio will use this in preference to a wireless connection. 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. Green ON = Link established, Flashing = Data transfer Yellow ON = 100M bps link, OFF = 10M bps link.

2. Turn on the radio by pressing the Power button, and you can start to operate the radio. And the display will show <Internet Ra dio>.

When using a wireless network (Ignore this section if wired LAN Internet connection is used with RCR-7WF)

1. Turn on the radio by pressing the Power button.

2. The display will show “Starting” and then “Initializing Network”, followed by showing “Scanning” * If the radio cannot find a network then the display will say ‘No Wireless Networks Found’. If this happens then you will have to get your wireless access point working - please see the instructions supplied with it.

3. There may be more than 1 wireless network s that your radio finds. The display now shows “Select networks”. Press the Tuning+/ buttons to search your wireless network. This is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network -for example: ‘My Home Network’.

When you find your wireless network, press the Select button. Few seconds later, the display will show <Internet Radio>, then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please ignore the following steps.

4. If your wireless Internet access (router) has been set the pa ssword, the display will show either ‘Enter WEP key’ or ‘Enter WPA key’. You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your network.

If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set your network. Some Wi-Fi routers may come with a key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the user documentation provided with it.

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

6. If you make a n error, press the Back button to delete the character entered. Use the left and right arrows to move the block cursor to access incorrectly entered characters.

7. After the final character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, locate the ‘END’ symbol and press the Select button. The radio should now be able to connect to the network. And the display will show <Internet Radio>.

4. From the ‘Media Sharing’ window, the radio will be listed as an unknown device. Click on the unknown device shown to select it, then click the ‘Allow’ button and then click ‘OK’.

Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows’ firewall software, this should be correctly configured by WMP 11. If you are using third party firewall software you may need to manually configure it to allow your radio a nd WMP 11 to communicate.

5. Select the named server again using the Tuning+/- and the Select buttons. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with your radio you will be presented with some media selection options by the server software.

Note: In UPnP mode the search criteria offered a nd the f ile type s ma de available to the radio are a function of the UPnP server software installed on your PC.

Locating and playing media files when using UPnP

Once the UPnP server has been conf igured to share media f iles with your Internet radio, you select the files that you wish to play as follows:

1. Turn on your radio and to access the menu dire ction “ Media Player > UPnP Servers “. If needed, press the Back button.

2. Press the Select button and the radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan, a nd that before the scan has completed the radio may display ‘Empty’. The radio will continue to display ‘Empty’ if no UPnP servers are found.

3. After a successful scan, press the Tuning+/- buttons to highlight your UPnP server and then press the Select button.

4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available by the UPnP server - for example, “Music” and “Playlists”. Press the Tuning+/- and the Select button to make your choice on the category.

5. Use the same way to make your choice. For example, you could select “Music” and then select “Albums”.

6. Use the same way to make the choice on the media files that you wish to play.

Do not worry if not all of your media appear in the menus immediately. Windows Media Player needs to look inside each file to identify the artist, album and tra ck information from ‘tags’ embedded in each file. Additionally, Windows Media Player may take time to access the Internet to obtain additional information such as ‘album art’ which it can display when you examine your music library on your PC.

7. The radio will display “Add to Queue”. Press the Select button a nd the radio will add all the tracks in the album to its queue and begin playing them automatically. And refer to “Operation after you set up for Window Shares,

UPnP or USB/SD card” below for the operation.

USB and SD — Local Media operation (For RCR-7 only)

1. Turn on the radio by pressing the Power button.

2. Slot in an audio USB or SD card on the side of the radio. And refer to “Operation after you set up for Window Shares, UPnP or USB/SD card” below for the operation.

Note:

1. When USB and SD card are slotted into the radio together, Local Media will combine all the music as one.

2. When Slot in or un-slot either USB or SD card while the music is playing, the radio will stop playing.

3. Fast f orward and rewind functions don’t work in Local Media.

Operation after you set up for Window Shares, UPnP or USB/SD card

Whether you access your file s using Windows Shares, UPnP or USB and SD card, the file selection mechanisms are the same. The only difference is that when using UPnP you will generally have a wider choice of search criteria, as determined by the UPnP server software on your computer. Some third party server applications allow customization of the search criteria and indexing methods, which can be useful if you have a very large collection of stored music files. The selection mechanism allows you to se arch by a given inf ormation type (Album, Artist, etc.) and then to narrow the search, either just to an album or to a particular track within an album.
