6. Before Getting Started

Screens

The screen shows various menus, dialogues and
displays, as described below.

There are basically six types of screen:

• Standby

• Splash / temporary (e.g. changing modes)

• Now playing

• Dialogue

• Error/Information

• Menu

When text is too long to fit on the screen, it is first
shown truncated, then, after a few seconds, slowly
scrolls so that you can read it all. The Standby screen
shows the time, date and any active alarm times. As
you cycle through the play modes by pressing the
Mode button the WLD+ 201 shows a splash screen for
each mode.

After one second, the WLD+ 201 enters the selected
mode and tries to start playing the last station or track
that was playing in that mode. If this is not possible,
the WLD+ 201 tries to connect to the selected source
by scanning for stations, networks, or prompting for
user input as appropriate.

Now playing screens show information about the
audio source and track now playing, where available.

Dialogue screens are shown to allow the user to
change settings. They vary in complexity from simple
Yes/No options up to the scrollable network password
input screen. As with menus, the selected item is
shown with a
white background.
Dialogue screens mark the current setting with an
asterisk (*).

Error/Information screens give specific messages
for a few seconds, then change automatically to
another screen.

Page | 13 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1 0 Rev 0 0

Menus

The WLD+ 201 has basically three types of menu. Use
the Select control to step through and select options.
A scroll bar on the right of the screen shows if there
are further options above or below those visible.

Each mode has a Mode menu, with options specific to
that mode. For example, the FM mode menu has just
two options: Scan setting and Audio setting.

In addition, each mode menu has two final options:
System settings > and Main menu >.
The ‘>’ indicates options leading to further menus.

The System settings menu allows access to system
settings and information such as network, time,
language and software update. Menus with more
options than will fit on one screen have a scroll bar to
the right. The Main menu allows access to all modes
plus sleep and timer functions.

The Main menu allows access to all modes plus sleep
and timer functions.

Some menus, for example the System settings menu,
have several submenus. See the Modes and menu
overview map on page 15.

7. Getting Started

Although the Sansui WLD+ 201 is sophisticated, getting
started is simple. After connecting your system to the
speakers, to play DAB or FM radio, all you need is a
power source (a 220~240 V mains supply).

For Music Player mode, you need either a USB stick
containing compatible music files or a wired or
wireless Ethernet network and a UPnP music server
(e.g. a PC or a network attached storage (NAS) drive
containing your music library). For Internet connected
modes such as Internet radio you also need a
broadband Internet connection.

Setup wizard

When the WLD+ 201 is started for the first time, it runs
through a setup wizard to configure settings for
date/time and network. Once this has finished, the
system is ready to use in most modes.

Note: To change these settings later, select

Menu > System settings >.

To run the setup wizard again, select

Menu > System settings > Setup wizard.

Select Yes to start the setup wizard.

If you choose No, the next screen asks if you would like
to run the wizard next time The WLD+ 201 is started.
The system then starts without configuring time/date
and network settings and enters the Main Menu.

Note: If power is removed while the wizard is in
progress, the wizard will run again next time the WLD+
201 is started.

12/24 hour display

To change between 12 and 24 hour display, select Set
12/24 hour and then select your preference.

Time/date

The time and date can be updated manually or
automatically. With auto update, the time and date
are automatically synchronised with external clocks.
Auto update is generally more accurate.

Auto-update

Auto update works with data sent over DAB, FM or the
Internet. The clock is only updated when in a
corresponding mode, so it is best to select a mode
you use regularly. DAB and FM use time signals
broadcast with radio transmissions.

Network uses a time signal sent from the vTuner

Internet radio portal when in any network connected
mode.

1. Select Update from DAB, Update from FM,
Update from Network or No update.

2. If you are updating from the network, set
your time zone.

3. If your country uses daylight saving, the
automatically updated time from the
network may be wrong by one hour. When
daylight savings are in effect (during the
winter), turn on the Daylight savings option
to rectify this. Note that if you are updating
the time from DAB or FM, the Daylight
savings option has no effect on the clock’s
time. The WLD+ 201 will auto update from
the selected source when time information is
available.

Page | 16 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1 0 Rev 0 0

Manual set

If you set No update, the wizard now prompts you to
set the time and date manually. The date and time
are displayed as dd mm yyyy and hh:mm AM/PM with
the first value, dd, active (flashing).

Adjust each value with the Select control. As each
value is set, the next value becomes active and
flashes.

Network

The WLD+ 201 is compatible with all common network
protocols and encryption methods, including Wi Fi
Protected Setup (WPS).
To connect the WLD+ 201 to your network, you need
one of the following:

- A wired router and an Ethernet (RJ45
network) cable

- A Wi Fi wireless router, together with
password key if set

Select WLAN region/country (for the UK choose Most
of Europe) > Wi Fi network (SSID), and then select a
network from the list. To connect to a wired network,
select [Wired], after ensuring that the Ethernet cable
from the wired router is connected to the Ethernet
socket of the WLD+201. If the network is open (non
encrypted), WLD+ 201 connects immediately (see

Completion below).

Standard encrypted network

To enter the network’s key (password), use the Select
control to move the cursor through the characters
and press Select. As each character is selected, the
key is built up near the top of the display. There are
three options accessible by turning Select back
before the first characters (0123…) Backspace, OK
and Cancel.

WPS encrypted network

WPS encrypted networks are identified by ‘[WPS]’ at
the start of the network name, and have three
methods of connection. Select one and follow the
prompts:

- Push Button >

The WLD+ 201 prompts you to press the connect
button on the router. It then scans for a ready
Push Button Connect network and connects.

- Pin > (code number)
The WLD+ 201 generates an 8 digit code number
which you enter into the wireless router, access
point, or an external registrar (e.g. advanced
versions of Windows Vista).

- Skip WPS >

Enter key as for a standard encrypted network,
above.

For more information on setting up a WPS encrypted
network, see your WPS router’s instructions.

Page | 17 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1 0 Rev 0 0

Completion

The WLD+ 201 attempts to connect to the selected
network.

If connecting fails, the WLD+ 201 returns to a previous
screen to try again.

If the network connection is lost, the WLD+ 201 will
automatically attempt to reconnect.

If network connection is successful the Connected
screen will appear.

Upon completion of the process the Setup Wizard
confirms connection and setup up has been
successful

Page | 18 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1 0 Rev 0 0

Network

The WLD+201remembers the last four wireless networks
it has connected to, and automatically tries to
connect to whichever one of them it can find.

You can see the list of registered networks through
Menu > System settings > Network > Network profile >.

From here you can delete unwanted networks by
turning and pressing Select then confirming delete
Yes.
There are also other options for viewing and manually
altering network settings from
Menu > System settings > Network >
(for example setting up a wired network).

Users experienced with networking may find these
options useful for diagnosing and fixing network
problems.

Language

The default language is English. To change, select
Menu > System settings >Language >
then select your language.

Setting up a music server

In order for the WLD+201 to play music files from a
computer, the computer must be set up to share files
or media.

UPnP media sharing allows devices like the

WLD+201 to play music from a shared media library,
navigating through tag menus such as Artist, Album or
Genre. If you are running a suitable server system such
as a PC with Windows Media Player 10 or later (WMP),
and your music library is well tagged, then it is
recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP
server needs to be set up.

Note: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server,
but there are add ons available (such as Allegro Media
Server™ for Macintosh or PC) to work with an iTunes library.
Alternatively if you are a PC user simply install and run
Windows Media Player (10 or later) and add your iTunes library
to the media library in Windows Media Player. You will be able
to continue to use iTunes as your primary source of music

8. Internet radio mode

The WLD+201 can play thousands of radio stations
and podcasts from around the world though a
broadband Internet connection.

When you select Internet radio mode, the WLD+201
contacts the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal to
get a list of stations, organised into different
categories like Country, Most popular and Genre.
Once you select a station, the WLD+201 connects
directly to that station.
The portal also enables multiple lists of favourite
stations that you can personalise, for example Andy’s
stations, Jo’s favourites, Talkshows, etc.
To use the favourites feature, register your radio with
the portal website as described on page 26. If you
have several Sansui radios, you can register them all
on the same account so that each radio has access
to the same favourites lists.
It is possible to add favourites either directly through
the WLD+201 or through any computer with a web
browser.
To enter Internet Radio mode, either press Mode until
the display shows Internet Radio or select
Menu > Main menu > Internet Radio.

Note: The station list menu is provided from the
Internet radio portal, so it is only accessible when the
WLD+201 is connected to the Internet. Station lists and
submenus may change from time to time.

There are several ways of selecting stations.
Directly from the radio:

• Last listened

• Pre sets

Or from the portal through the Menu > Station list >
menu:

• Favourites lists

• Browse by Country, Genre, Most popular,
Newest

• Search by keyword

• My added stations

If you are already listening to an Internet radio station,
you can press Back rather than Menu to quickly return
to the last visited branch of the menu tree. For
example, suppose you were listening to New Orleans
Radio through the browse facility as described in
section 4.4 below. Pressing Back would return you to
the Highlighted Blues stations menu. Pressing Back
again would return you to the Blues menu, and so on.

Last listened

When Internet radio mode restarts, the last listened
station is selected. To select another recently used
station, select
Menu > Last listened then one of the stations listed.
Most recent stations appear at the top of the list.

button or the “CONTROL” dial to confirm and
switch to the selected station. Press “t”, “P” or
“BACK” to exit this menu. The menu will close
automatically after a while.

Favourites

Favourites are different from Presets in that they can
be stored on the internet radio portal directly, not just
on the WLD+201.

Before you set up an account on the portal from its
web interface (www.wifiradio frontier.com), the
favourites are associated solely with WLD+201.

After you set up a portal account, all the Favourites
from your different radios are merged into a
combined favourites list. This combined list is available
to all the radios on your account. (see page 26 for
details of how to register your WLD+201 on the internet
radio portal)

Shared media (from UPnP media server)

Select
Menu > Shared media >
If you have set up a music server (as described on
page 20), you should see an entry consisting of
<computer name>: <Shared media name>, for
example JB Laptop: Audio

If you have more than one computer sharing media,
the alternatives are listed. Select the shared media
you want to play. From this point on, the menus are
generated from the shared media server (typically
Windows Media
Player). The first menu shows a list of media types, for
example Music, Video, Pictures and Playlists. The
WLD+201 can only play music and playlists.
There is also a search function, which finds tracks in
a similar way to Internet radio search. (as described
on page 25.)

From Music, there are numerous ways of selecting
tracks, including:

Once you have found a track you want to play, press

Wake-on-LAN

If shared media is selected, a list of available
music servers will be displayed. If a question mark
appears before the server name, this indicates
that the server has been seen before and
supports Wake on LAN functionality, but cannot
currently be found on the network. If a server with
a question mark is selected by the user, the
device will try to wake the server up and connect
to it. In some instances this may not be possible as
the server may not be connected to the network
any more or may be switched off.

Prune servers

From time to time it may be necessary to remove
servers displaying question marks in front of the
server name from the server list. For example, if
the device is moved to a new network or if a
Wake on LAN server is removed from your current
network. To perform this function, go to

Menu > Prune servers > Yes

a USB Flash stick or USB hard drive, Select
Menu > USB playback.

Browsing folders

From this point on, menus are generated from the
folders on the USB device. Browse folders with the
Select control and Back button. The display shows
folder and file names (not necessarily track names).
Once you have found a track that you want to play,
press Select. A short press plays the track immediately
and a long press adds the track to the playlist. You
can also add entire folders to the playlist. The
WLD+201 plays either the selected track or the playlist.

Viewing track metadata

While a track is playing, you can view extra
information about it (called metadata) by pressing
Info. Each time you press Info, a different item of
metadata is displayed. See Now Playing section on
page 29 for descriptions of the metadata for UPnP
and USB.

10. Using the “Play To”
feature in Windows 7

Windows 7 includes a feature called “Play To” and this
lets your PC running Windows 7 control the WLD+201
to push media and use the PC as a universal remote
control for your media collection.

The WLD+201 supports the industry standard DLNA
(Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5 digital media
renderer. This allows you to "Play To" other devices
around your home and combine media streaming
with controlling a connected media receiver while
streaming content to it from another Windows 7 PC on
a home network. Before you can use the “Play To”
feature you need the set up the WLD+201 for Windows
7 streaming media. See page 20.

Windows Media Player makes it easy to manage your
media, find items that you want to play, and open
Play To. To select items that you want to play, follow
these steps:

1. Click the Start button, click All Programs, and

then click Windows Media Player. If the
Player is currently open and you’re in Now
Playing mode, click the Switch to Library
button in the upper right corner of the
Player.

2. If the list pane is closed or if the Burn or Sync

tabs are exposed, click the Play tab.

3. Find the items that you want to play in the

Player Library, and then drag those items
from the details pane into the list pane.

4. Click the Play to button at the top of the list

pane, click the device on your network that
will receive the media.

5. In the Play To dialog box, use the playback

controls to play, pause, or stop the media
stream, and to change to the next or
previous item in the list.

Use “Play To” elsewhere in Windows 7

Outside of Windows Media Player, you can stream
media to the WLD+201 with “Play To” by right clicking
music files. To select music files and stream them to
the WLD+201, follow these steps:

1. Click the files you want to stream to the

WLD+201.

2. Right click the selected files, point to “Play

to”, and then click the device on the
network that will receive the media.

11. Using the WLD+201 with
an Apple Macintosh
computer

Because of the different system protocols used in
computing it’s not always possible to make every
connected product instantly compatible with all
computer technology.

The network system protocol used on the WLD+201 is
called DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) which is
a system designed to give the user more
convenience, choices and enjoyment of digital
content through DLNA Certified® devices. (see

www.dlna.org for more details)

Because Apple products are not automatically DLNA
compatible it is necessary to install a software
program to enable a DLNA device such as the
WLD+201 to see it and any music files stored on it,
across the network.
There are many such programs available.
One such free application is called TV Mobili and can
be downloaded from http://www.tvmobili.com/

Another is Serviio Media Server http://www.serviio.org/

There are many others. For more information talk to
your local Apple reseller.

update the list of stations for one of the following
reasons:

- Available stations change from time to
time.

- If reception was not good for the
original scan (for example the antenna

15. Software upgrade and factory reset

Software upgrade

From time to time, Sansui may make software upgrades available with upgrades and/or additional features.
You can either check manually, or set WLD+201 to check periodically automatically (this is the default). If the
WLD+201 detects that newer software is available, it asks if you want to go ahead with an update. If you
agree, the new software is then downloaded and installed. After a software upgrade, all user settings are
maintained.

CAUTION: Before starting a software upgrade, ensure that the WLD+201 is plugged into a stable mains power
connection. Disconnecting power during a software update may permanently damage the unit.

To turn automatic checking on or off, select

Menu > System settings > Software update > Auto-check setting.

Factory reset

A factory reset resets all user settings to default values, so time/date, network configuration and presets are
lost. However, the radio’s current software version is maintained, as is registration with the Internet radio
portal. Internet radio favourites therefore remain unless you re-register your radio with another account on
the portal
website.

To perform a factory reset, select

Menu > System settings > Factory reset
Proceed > Yes.

17. Maintenance and handling

Live parts may be exposed, if the covering is opened or parts are removed.

Carry out a technical safety inspection on a regular basis, e.g. check if the power cable or housing may have become
damaged.
If there is reason to believe that the device can no longer be operated safely, then disconnect it immediately from the
power supply and secure it against any unintentional operation. Carefully remove the power cable plug from the wall
outlet and where applicable switch off the corresponding circuit breaker first.

It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, if:

- there is visible damage to the device or power cable,

- the device has become wet or water has been able to get inside.

- it has been stored for a long period of time under unfavorable conditions

- Dropped, exposed to rigorous transport conditions or otherwise damaged.

Always adhere to the following safety instructions before cleaning and maintenance:

- The device must be disconnected from the power supply source prior to service, maintenance
or repairs.

- Repairs are only to be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar with the hazards involved
and the relevant regulations.

Transporting or sending the device

Please retain the original box and the packaging material in case you need to transport or send the device out for
maintenance at a later date. Please note that the device should be repacked in the original packaging. The box and
packaging have been especially developed for this device in order to protect it during transport and against damage.
Retain this instruction manual for future reference and where required pass it along with the device if handed over to a
third party. It contains important information on initial operation and handling.

Keeping the external case clean

Never use volatile fluids near the device, as for example insect spray. Avoid letting the device come in contact with
rubber or plastic products for longer periods of time. These could otherwise leave marks behind.

Cleaning the device

Unplug the power cable before cleaning. Always use a soft and dry cloth to clean the unit’s exterior. If the device is
extremely dirty you can use a soft cloth, dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to clean. Never use any
abrasive or harsh cleaning agents (e.g. alcohol, benzene or thinners) as these could damage the controls, casing or any
markings and labels found on the device.
