orientation of the batteries is correct (see drawing at bottom).

3 Replace the battery cover.

- Do not mix new and old batteries and do not use different types of batteries.

- If the remote control is not used for prolonged periods, remove the batteries from the remote control to

avoid corrosion.

Using the remote control

Direct the remote control at the sensor on the front panel of the unit. When the remote control signal is received, the unit reacts accordingly. The remote control works within a range of 6 meters.

- Sometimes the remote control does not work well

in strong light. You may have to move the unit if it

is a problem.

- Malfunction may occur if other remote controls

are used near the unit.

- Do not place any objects on the remote control,

as the batteries may become flat if a key is

depressed constantly.

- Make sure that there are no obstacles between

remote control and unit.

- Do not position the unit behind tinted glass as it

may reduce the maximum range of the remote

control.

AUDIO CONNECTIONS

Before Connection

Before connection turn off the power of all the equipment. Read instructions of each component you intend to connect to this unit.

- Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the interconnection leads

with power cord or speaker leads.

Analog stereo outputs

If your amplifier is an analog stereo amplifier or an analog stereo receiver, with no digital inputs, you should use the stereo outputs to connect the NET-200 to your system.

Optical and Coaxial outputs

It is possible to connect the NET-200 to a digital surround receiver, a digital stereo receiver or digital processor. This can give you the ability to upgrade the sound experience from your NET-200. The unit has both an optical and a coaxial digital output, so it should be possible to connect to most available digital amplifiers.

FRONT PANEL INPUT

The front panel has a USB input. This input is intended for temporary and easy connections.

- The USB input enables you to connect your MP3 player or Memory stick to the unit, to play music. You

can browse the files of the connected source via the display.

Please notice that the USB input on the front panel is not compatible with all models of iPod. Note:

It can take several minutes after connecting the USB source before the NET-200 is ready to start playing. Please see the section called “Media player Quickstart guide” for further explanation.

Internet Radio Quickstart Guide

What you need before you can use your Internet radio

Before you can use your Internet radio, you need the following:

• A broadband Internet connection.

• A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) connected to your broadband Internet, preferably via a router.

• 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 code so you can get the

Internet radio to communicate with the network. The Internet radio should work anywhere within up to 30 meters of the wireless access point depending on the wireless router. Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point is powered up and connected to your broadband Internet. To get this part of the system working you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point.

Steps for connecting your radio to your wireless network

Step 1 - Power up the radio

Plug the mains cable to the mains power input on the back of the radio. The display on the front of the radio will light up and say:

Tangent

NET-200

Reciva enabled

ARM powered

After a few seconds, this will change to show:

Scanning for networks

Step 2 - Scan for a wireless network connection

When the display says <Scan for networks>, press the CONTROL/TUNING button. (Note: if you make a mistake at any point, press the BACK button to go back to the previous screen.) The radio will now scan for all available wireless networks and will display:

Scanning

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII If it can’t find one then the display will say:

No Wireless

Networks Found

If this happens then you will have to get your wireless access point working - see the instructions supplied with it. When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the ESSID for the access point on the screen - this is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network - for example:

< My Home Network >

It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one wireless access point, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Turn the CONTROL/TUNING knob on the radio to see the ESSID for each access point the radio has found.

Step 3 - Connect to the wireless network

When the ESSID for the access point you want to connect to is displayed on the screen, press the CONTROL/TUNING button. If your network is not configured to need an encryption code, the screen should say:

Connecting to

network

Then:

Network OK

If the screen displays either:

Enter WEP key

Or:

Enter WPA key

Then the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA code into the radio to get it to communicate with your network. Only the person who set up the network in the first place knows this code; if that person is not you then you need to find out what it is. After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entry mode. To enter the code, use the CONTROL/TUNING knob to select each character of the code in turn, pressing the CONTROL/TUNING button after each character. Note that WEP and WPA codes are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly. After the final character, use the CONTROL/TUNING knob to select the END character and press the CONTROL/TUNING button. The radio should now be able to connect to the network.

Steps for connecting your radio to your wired network

For connection via a wired network, simply plug in the Ethernet cable from your switch or hub before you connect the radio to power. The radio will always prioritize a wired network in front of a wireless network if it is available. The RJ-45 connecter has two LEDs near the port that shows the status of the connection. The Green LED indicates if a live connection is present. The yellow LED indicates if there are any on going traffic on the wired connection.

If you wish to make sure the radio only will attempt to connect to either a wired or a wireless network, you can lock it to use only a wired or wireless connection.

1. Press the CONTROL/TUNING button to return to the top-level menu. (Note: if you make a mistake at any point, press the BACK button to go back to the previous screen.)

< Internet radio >

2. Turn the CONTROL/TUNING button until the display says < Settings > and press CONTROL/TUNING to confirm.

< Settings >

3. Turn the CONTROL/TUNING button until the display says < Network Config > and press CONTROL/TUNING to confirm.

< Network Config >

4. Turn the CONTROL/TUNING button until the display says < Wired/Wireless > and press CONTROL/TUNING to confirm.

Stations which enable you to choose what you listen to

Some radio stations can provide a number of options associated with their station; for example, some stations enable you to listen to programs that have already been broadcast. When you select a radio station that has this facility, the station does not start playing immediately, but instead the display shows:

< Live >

1. Turn the CONTROL/TUNING knob to choose <Live> or <On Demand>, then press the CONTROL/TUNING button. If you choose <Live> then the radio plays the current output from this station as normal. If you choose <On Demand> then more screens are displayed where you choose what you want to listen to. What is displayed will depend on the station you have chosen - the following steps are only a guide.

2. When you choose <On Demand>, the display shows the names of the programs. Turn the CONTROL/TUNING knob to choose the program you want, then press the CONTROL/TUNING button.

3. When you have chosen the program you want to listen to, either it will just start playing, or the display may show a list of days for you to choose from - use the CONTROL/TUNING knob to set the day the program was broadcast, then press the CONTROL/TUNING button.

4. After you have chosen the day, you may be able to choose the Start Time. Set the Start Time using the CONTROL/TUNING knob and press the CONTROL/TUNING button.

2. Right click on the folder.

3. Select ‘Properties’.

4. Click on ‘Sharing’.

5. Select ‘Share this folder on the network’ and ‘Allow network users to change my files’. Please note, do not try to make your ‘My Documents’ or any of its sub-folders (e.g. ‘My Music’) shareable.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any trouble with your wireless Internet radio, then you may find it useful to visit the help section on our webpage: http://www.reciva.com If you have trouble connecting the radio to your wireless network, these steps may help to resolve the problem:

1. Confirm that a Wi-Fi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.

2. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the radio. You can configure a static IP address on the radio using the menu item ‘Settings -> Network Config -> Edit Config’, and then select ‘No’ for ‘Auto (DHCP)’.

3. Check that your network’s firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000 and 7070.

4. Check your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu item ‘Settings -> Network Config -> View Config -> MAC address’.

5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or passphrase into the radio. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, your radio displays: ‘Wireless error’ followed by a 5-digit number, then please ensure that you enter the correct passphrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration.

If your radio can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:

1. The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone).

2. The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.

3. The station is not broadcasting anymore.

4. The link on the radio is out of date.

5. The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is slow.

Try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcaster’s web site. If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at http://www.reciva.com/ to notify us so that we can change the station data that is used by the radio.

No operation can be performed with the remote control

1. Check the batteries are installed with the correct polarities (+ & -)

2. Make sure the batteries are in good condition and not depleted. If yes, replace the new ones.

3. Make sure the remote is pointing at the sensor

4. Remove the obstacles between the player and the remote

Remark: Abnormal functioning of this unit may be caused by static electricity or other external interference. To restore normal operation, unplug the AC cord and then plug it in again or switch off and on the player again.
