Step 3 Download and install your
Desktop Controller.
Installing the Desktop Controller is the last step in the setup
process. It is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple OSX
computers and must be installed on at least one computer on
the same network as your Roomplayer/s.
To start downloading the software, go to
www.simpleaudio.com/support/software. Choose the correct
version of the software for your computer then follow the
onscreen instructions to complete the setup.
Register your Roomplayer online and you will get notication of new software updates. Visit www.simpleaudio.net/register and complete the form.
Is your operating system compatible?
Check your computer for the information you need. Select ‘View System Information’ or ‘System Properties’ on a PC. If you are using a Mac, select the Apple icon in the top left corner of your desktop and choose ‘About this Mac’.
Want to play music from more than one computer?
Repeat the download and installation steps for each computer you want to use to play and share music. All computers must be connected to the same network.
13
Set up your Desktop Controller
How do I choose a Master?
If you have more than one Roomplayer, choose the one least likely to be switched off. If your Master is switched off, the other Roomplayers will not operate until it is switched back on or a new Master is nominated. You will need to re-index your music libraries if you select a new Master.
You must select a Master, even if you only have one Roomplayer. It is responsible for indexing all your music and
takes control of any additional Roomplayers you own. Make sure one Roomplayer is ticked before clicking next.
How long does a Roomplayer take to start up?
The red LED goes out when your Roomplayer has connected to your network. It takes approx. 1 minute.
The system will automatically detect any Roomplayers that
are on your network and switched on. This may take several minutes. If no Roomplayers are detected a message will appear on your computer screen to tell you. This will also be displayed when connected Roomplayers are switched off.
Step 2 Choose a Master
The Wizard will help you set up your Roomplayer/s, create
users and nd music libraries. It will appear during the
installation of your Desktop Controller and will guide you
through the process step by step. Don’t worry if you don’t get everything right rst time, you can always change your
settings from the System menu.
Step 1 Congure your system using the wizard
Use the wizard to setup your system, discover
music libraries and more.
14
Set up your Desktop Controller
It’s essential to set up a username if you want to create
favourites for your libraries, radio stations and more. If you
have multiple users on the system, you may want to ensure
that everyone has a prole set up. User proles are not password protected. All libraries are available to everyone,
each user may wish to customise how they view these
libraries.
To create a username, select New User then type in your
name. Repeat for each new user.
Step 4 Create a username
Select a Roomplayer from the list and type in a new name.
If you have more than one Roomplayer and you haven’t
named them, you may need to identify them rst. If you tick
the identify box the white LED of that Roomplayer will ash until another Roomplayer is selected or the Roomplayer
Setup window in your Desktop Controller is closed.
External devices too quiet?
Adjust the gain settings for your front and rear line inputs.
Want to use an external DAC? If you do, select digital as your audio output.
Step 3 Setup your Roomplayer
15
Supported music le types
We recommend that you use the highest denition les possible for best audio performance. Smaller compressed les can still sound good but contain much less audio data. You will be able to play most le formats including:
We do not support WMA or DRM les.
Want to know more about music le formats?
A full description of le formats and their strengths and
weaknesses is available at
www.simpleaudio.com/support/faqs
Step 5 Search for music libraries
The Desktop Controller will automatically search for the
default iTunes library stored on your computer. If your Desktop
Controller does not detect a music library automatically,
perhaps its default location has changed. If this happens you can search for it manually.
If you want to access a library manually, select Access new library then navigate to any folder on your computer where
music may be stored. Select the library you wish to access,
ensure the check box is ticked and press next to start
indexing. Press Finish at any time to complete the setup.
Music will appear in your Desktop Controller as it is being
indexed.
What kind of music libraries can I add?
You can access iTunes libraries, Windows Media Player
folder libraries and many other folder-based libraries.
Set up your Desktop Controller
Do we move, copy or change music?
It’s good to know that your Desktop Controller will never move, copy or change music, wherever it’s stored. Instead
it creates a list of all the music libraries it can nd (this is
called indexing). It presents them to you in the main window of your Desktop Controller.
16
You can manually congure your system at any time. Select
System from the main menu, choose the appropriate option
from the drop down menu and make your changes.
Congure your system manually
Want to see a list of system software updates?
Visit our website www.simpleaudio.com/support/software
Your Desktop Controller can be set up to automatically look
for software updates. You will be presented with this option when you launch the software a second time. Set your
Desktop Controller to automatically search for updates so you don’t miss out on anything important. You can
also check for updates manually by selecting Help then Check for updates.
Update your software
Set up your Desktop Controller
17
Personalise your Desktop Controller
Once you have a user prole set up, you can personalise your music libraries, playlists and more.
Control where your music plays
If you have a multiroom system (more than one Roomplayer) you can control where the music plays from the drop down
menu. If you have multiple users make sure you have the correct username selected.
Your Roomplayer will always default to playing music through your Master Roomplayer after it has been switched off and on
again.
Use your user prole to select the libraries you want to use and play or to deselect the ones you don’t. Go to System,
Manage User, select your username and tick the check box next to the libraries you want to display and use, or untick the
check box next to the libraries you don’t want to display. This won’t delete the library.
If you add or delete any tracks from your iTunes library or other music folder you can either wait for your system to recognise the changes, or you can force your library to
re-index. To do this, go to System, Music Libraries and right click on the library you want to re-index.
Personalise music libraries
Want to rename a music library?
Go to Music Libraries, right click the library you want to rename and type in a new name.
What can I do if a music library is unavailable?
If a library is marked as ‘unavailable’ this maybe because the computer or laptop that held the library has been switched off or removed from your network. The library will instantly return when this computer is switched on again.
18
Personalise your Desktop Controller
Set up favourite radio stations
TuneIn is integrated into your Simple Audio system. To select an internet radio station select TuneIn Radio then
Add favourite stations. Click the save icon beside a station to save it to your radio playlist. It will then appear in your favourite stations in the main menu. We support MP3 and AAC radio stations. We do not support WMA or REAL radio streams.
Store music streaming service login details
When you register with a music streaming service such as
we7 or Deezer (nd out how in the next section), you will receive a username and password. You must use these
details (not your Simple Audio login details) when you login for
the rst time via your Desktop Controller.
To log in, rst check that your username is selected, then sign in with your music service credentials. The Desktop Controller
will then save your details under your username so that you
do not have to enter them again.
If you have multiple users, it’s a good idea to set up individual
accounts so that everyone can listen to their favourite music.
You can create any number of playlists consisting of tracks or albums in your libraries. Select Music Library, Playlists and Add playlist. You can drag and drop individual tracks or
entire albums.
Create playlists
How can I see all playlists?
Select All Users from the drop down menu to see and play music from any playlist on your system. You cannot edit another users playlist.
Personalise your Desktop Controller

Set up an account with Deezer
To set up an account with Deezer, register at
www.deezer.com. You will nd details of all their services and
prices on the Deezer website.
Having trouble with playback?
If a radio station won’t play it maybe the wrong format. You can check compatible formats on the TuneIn website. The audio quality you receive is also dependant upon the radio station broadcast quality and your broadband speed. If problems persist, check with the radio broadcaster or contact your Internet Service Provider.
Can’t nd your existing music streaming service?
We hope to have more music streaming services on board soon. Why not drop them a note telling them that you
would like to see them on the Simple Audio system?

audio inputs or outputs.
Connect your loudspeakers and/or any audio inputs or outputs to your new Roomplayer, then attach the mains lead,
plug it into your wall socket and switch on. More information
on connecting devices to either Roomplayer I or II can be
found on page 6.
If you want to listen to music throughout your home, add another Roomplayer wherever you want.
Set up additional Roomplayers
How many Roomplayers?
The integrated PowerLine technology provides you with more bandwidth than other audio networks. You can
connect up to 16 rooms, but remember, different music le
formats and connectivity methods may affect the quality of the service if you connect this many Roomplayers.
One Roomplayer will play music through one set of
loudspeakers or one amplied device. If you want to play
music elsewhere in your home, you will need another
Roomplayer connected to loudspeakers or an amplied device – this is a multiroom system.
Add additional Roomplayers at any time and manage them from your Desktop Controller or your iPod Touch, iPhone or
iPad. To get started, follow the instructions in step 1 and 2.
We recommend that you make all connections before
you apply power.
22
Step 2 Pair your new Roomplayer.
You must pair your new Roomplayer with one of your existing
Roomplayers. This process will connect it to your existing network using PowerLine communication technology. To start the pairing process, follow these instructions:
You should not connect an Ethernet cable to your new Roomplayer.

Still experiencing problems?
Check out the FAQ’s on our website www.simpleaudio.com/
support/faqs or contact your Simple Audio retailer.
Troubleshooting
If you just can’t get something to work, check this list rst.
Symptom Possible solution
No power indicator
Check the power outlet and the fuse. If both are working, there may be a fault with the Roomplayer. Speak to your retailer and arrange for the unit to be checked.
No sound from any source
Check that your Roomplayer is on and appearing in your Desktop
Controller software. Check the connections to all components in the system are correct. Check that the volume on your Desktop Controller is turned up. If you have connected headphones, this will mute the sound. Check that your speakers or other external ampliers are connected and switched on.
No sound from iPod, iPhone, TV etc.
If you have connected an external device like an iPod, iPhone or TV you should make sure that it is playing and that its volume
control is set correctly. You may also wish to alter the gain
settings via your Desktop Controller found under System,
Roomplayer Setup.
Can’t control Roomplayers using the iOS Controller app
Check that your mobile device is within range of your wireless
router. The signal strength indicator at the top of your iPod screen will show the quality of the connection. If you have a signal, check
that your device is on the same network as the Roomplayers, it is possible that your device has joined another network
Music library is ‘unavailable’
Check that the computer that stores the music library is switched
on and still on your network. The library will reappear when the computer rejoins your network.
Can’t see or save radio stations or playlists
Check that you have set up a user prole. If you have, you will need to select your username. If you still can’t see radio stations then it is possible that your internet connection is down. Once
connected you will be able to see and save radio stations for
individual users.
Can’t see some of my albums
Check the ‘R’ button in Library view. This lists the number of albums that have not been imported. It is often the case that missing albums have incompatible le formats.
Can’t see some of my artwork
Your Desktop Controller will show the artwork stored in your
original music library. Check that you can see it in your iTunes library or your current media player. If not visit our FAQ’s for detailed information.
