About this instruction manual  
This instruction manual is split into sections for each of the different  
operating modes of your Roberts STREAMTIME clock radio. There are  
three main sections - Internet Radio, Media Player (streaming files from  
a stored library) and FM radio. Each section is clearly identified by the  
shaded heading in the top right hand corner of each pair of pages.  
Before using the Internet Clock Radio and Media Player functions, you will  
need to connect your clock radio to your computer network using the WiFi  
connection. This is covered in the section titled Configuration.  
(page 9)

Connecting your clock radio to your computer  
network  
1. Place your clock radio on a flat surface and plug the cable from the  
mains adaptor into the DC input socket located on the rear of your  
clock radio (marked 'DC') ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into  
the socket.  
2. Plug the mains adaptor into a wall socket and switch on the socket.  
IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor 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  
radiofromthemainscompletely,themainsadaptorshouldberemoved  
from the mains socket outlet completely.  
3. When you apply power, the display on the clock radio will light up and  
say:'RobertsInternetRadio'.Ifnonetworkconnectionisyetconfigured,  
the clock radio will now scan for all available wireless networks and  
will show 'Scanning'.  
4. If the clock radio cannot find a network then the display will say 'No  
WirelessNetworksFound'.Ifthishappensthenyouwillhavetogetyour  
wireless access point working - please see the instructions supplied  
with it.  
5. When the clock radio finds your wireless network, it displays the  
Network Name (SSID) 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'.  
6. It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your clock radio

8. If your network is not found, it is possible that it is configured such that  
the SSID is not broadcast (sometimes referred to as hidden). If this  
is the case then use the Back button and then select 'Enter network  
name'. This procedure is described page 56, 'Entering the network  
namemanually'. Ifyouknowthatyournetworknameisnothidden, and  
it was not found,then either try re-scanning, (press the Back button),  
and if necessary try moving your clock radio to a location closer to  
your access point / router, or refer to 'Troubleshooting' on page 61.

10. Ifyournetworkisnotconfiguredtoneedanencryptioncode,thescreen  
should say 'Connecting to network', then 'Network OK'. If this is the  
case then you have successfully connected your clock radio to your  
network, so please proceed to the section 'Once your clock radio is  
connected to the network' on the next page.  
11. If the screen displays either 'Enter WEP key' or 'Enter WPA key', it is  
because 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 key into the clock  
radio to allow it to communicate with your wireless network.

020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)  
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 user documentation provided with it.  
WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some  
Wi-Fi access points can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these do  
not conform to a defined standard and are not supported. WPA keys  
areusuallysetupusingapass-phraseofbetween8and63characters.  
Your Internet radio can accept pass-phrases for WPA keys.  
If the WEP or WPA key was previously entered and the radio has not  
had a factory reset the display will show 'Using saved key' and should  
then connect to the network.  
12. After 3 seconds, the display goes into the key entry mode. To enter the  
key, use the Tuning Up or Down buttons to select each character of  
the key in turn, when the character is central on the display press the  
Select button after each character. Remember, WEP keys only use  
the numbers 0 - 9 and letters A - F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper  
and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly.  
12  
12  
13. If you make an error use the Back button to delete the character  
entered.  
12,14  
14. After the final character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered,  
centrally locate the 'END' symbol and press the Select button.  
Alternatively the 'END' symbol can be quickly accessed by pressing  
the Add/RDS button. The clock radio should now be able to connect  
to the network.  
13  
15. Once your clock radio is connected to the network (and therefore also  
to the Internet) it will display the time and the main Mode menu. This  
menu provides access to all major functions of the radio. The time is  
obtained from the internet by the radio. If the time display is not correct  
for any reason, it can easily be adjusted later, see page 40 'Manually  
setting the clock'.

Internet Radio - the basics  
Before you can use your clock radio to listen to broadcasts via the internet, it is necessary  
to have already connected your clock radio to your computer network using the wireless  
(WiFi) connection. Please see page 9 for details.  
There are literally many thousands of broadcasts available via the internet. Your clock  
radio provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to make finding and  
choosing broadcasts easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you  
may either store them as presets within the clock radio, or add them to a list of your  
favourite stations which your clock radio can access. The number of presets is limited  
(there are ten preset buttons on the clock radio), but you can store as many favourites  
as you like.  
You may search for an internet radio station by Location. If you know the name of the  
stationandthecountryfromwhichastationisbroadcastthismaybetheeasiestmethodto  
find 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 see 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 STREAMTIME clock 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.

Note: If your clock 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.  
Theradiostationmaynotbeabletoaccommodateanymoreconnections  
from internet listeners.  
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.

Customising your clock radio  
In addition to storing your favourite radio stations in the radio presets, your  
radio allows you to create a customised list of stations which can appear  
in a special menu on the radio called 'My Stuff'.  
The STREAMTIME uses Internet Radio technology which has been  
developed by a British company, Reciva Limited, based near Cambridge.  
Reciva allow you to register your clock radio on their web site, and then to  
associate a choice of radio stations with your clock radio. These stations  
can be selected from the large selection already listed. Additionally, if you  
find 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.  
Registering an account on Reciva’s website  
1. Openthewebsite,http://radios.reciva.com,usingtheInternetbrowser  
on your computer. Follow the registration process as described on the  
site:  
Select Settings from the radios menu.  
Select Register - the radio will then fetch a registration number  
Enter the registration number into the space on the web page  
Click on the Submit button.  
The next page will ask you to enter a username, password and email  
address (or just username and password if you have previously registered  
a radio and wish to add another).  
2. To configure your radio, you may need to log in to Reciva's website  
using your username and password - using your internet browser,  
go to http://radios.reciva.com. You can then choose 'Manage My  
Stuff' to be able to edit your stored details for 'My Stations' and 'My  
Streams' - see the following pages in this book. The option 'Manage  
My Radios' allows you to add additional radios or remove any of those  
already registered.

Internet Radio  
Configuring My Stations  
1. Using Reciva's website at http://radios.reciva.com, it is possible  
to search for radio stations that are available in Reciva’s stations  
database. Whenever stations are searched for on the website, they  
will be displayed in a list of search results together with a link to Add  
to My Stations.  
2. Clicking on the Add to My Stations link, will add the station to your  
account’s My Stations list. This list can be edited by clicking on My  
Stations under the My Account section on the website.  
3. Once you have Internet stations available in your My Stations list,  
you may play these stations from your Internet Radio. These stations  
will be available on your radio from the main mode menu item: ‘My  
Stuff > My Stations’.  
Please note, the My Stuff menu item and your personal selection of radio  
stations (My Stations) will only be available on your clock radio once  
your clock radio has downloaded a new radio stations list. To cause the  
radio to download a new list of stations immediately, please remove and  
reconnect the power to your clock radio.  
If a radio station is not listed  
1. If you want to listen to a particular radio station which is currently not  
listed in your radio or on Reciva's web site, you can enter a request  
for them to add the radio station to their database.

Adding stations using your clock radio  
If you find a radio station that you like to listen to frequently this may be stored in the My Stations list as  
described on page 20. That method requires you to use a computer. Once your radio has been registered  
using the Reciva website page 19 it is also then possible to add stations to the 'My Stations' list directly  
from the radio by following this simple procedure.

Internet Radio  
Configuring My Streams  
1. Once logged into your Reciva website account, you can add your  
own Internet radio streams to the My Streams section, which is listed  
under the My Account section. Typically, these will be Internet radio  
stations that you will have found using your computer.  
2. Clicking on My Streams will prompt you to enter the station’s name  
and its media stream URL. The media stream URL should be a link to  
a website’s actual audio stream. If you have any doubt about locating  
the media stream URLfrom a webpage, then please refer to the FAQs  
section on Reciva’s website, http://radios.reciva.com.  
3. Once you have Internet radio streams available in your My Streams  
list, you may play these stations from your Internet Radio. These  
stations will be available on your radio from the main mode menu  
item: ‘My Stuff > My Streams’.  
Please note, the My Stuff menu item and your personal selection of radio  
streams (My Streams) will only be available on your radio once your clock  
radio has downloaded a new radio stations list. To cause the clock radio to  
download a new list of stations immediately, please remove and reconnect  
the power to your clock radio.

Media Player  
Using Windows Shares  
The Media Player allows you to play audio files which are stored on a  
computer on your network. Supported file formats are MP3, WMA, AAC,  
WAV, FLAC, AIFF, Real Audio, AU and playlists (M3U). Note that the  
playback of DRM protected content is not supported.  
Setting up your Windows PC to allow the clock radio to access your  
audio files via Windows Shares. If you wish to use UPnP, please turn  
to page 26.  
1. Please ensure that your PC is available on the same network as your  
Internet radio. Using Windows Explorer, locate the folder where your  
audio files are stored.  
Your radio supports two file access methods. It can connect to folders  
shared on the network, commonly known as Windows Shares, SMB  
shares or CIFS. It can also connect with file server applications using the  
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol.  
2. Right click on the folder.  
3. Select ‘Properties’.  
4. Click on ‘Sharing’.  
AllofthesupportedletypesareplayableinWindowsSharesmode.When  
using a UPnP server, the playable file types are dependant on the server  
softwareused.Forexample,MicrosoftWindowsMediaPlayer11canserve  
MP3, WMAand WAV files. To be able to play the other supported file types  
via UPnP you may need to install additional third-party software.  
5. Select ‘Share this folder on the network’ and ‘Allow network users to  
change my files’.  
When using Windows Shares, music selection is by Artist, by Album and  
optionallybytrackwithinanAlbum. WhenusingaUPnPserver, thesearch  
and selection criteria are determined by the server, but typically include  
additional options such as Genre. Many server applications also allow you  
to access files according to the folders within which they are stored.  
Please note, do not try to make your ‘My Documents’ or any of its sub-  
folders (e.g. ‘My Music’) shareable.  
Please note, it is recommended that you do not try to make your ‘My  
Documents’ or any of its sub-folders (e.g. ‘My Music’) accessible as  
shares. This is because of the way that these special folders are managed  
within Windows.  
Note that the references to 'PC' in this section refer to any computer device  
that may be sharing content on your network, whether it is a Windows  
device, an Apple computer, a Linux device, or any other. We use the  
generic term 'PC' simply because it is short and convenient.  
In some cases, especially if you have a Windows PC using third-party  
security software (not supplied by Microsoft) it may be necessary to  
configure your computer's firewall software and / or network settings to  
permit file sharing. If this is necessary please refer to your computers  
software documentation for further information.

Note that the first time the file scan is performed, a file called ‘.reciva_  
media_cache’ is written to the folder where the audio files are stored. This  
file is created by the scanning software in order to speed up subsequent  
file scans.  
In the event that your radio cannot connect to your PC or its shared folders  
it is most likely that your PC's firewall software is blocking access (see the  
section 'Troubleshooting' on page 61).

Media Player  
Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server  
The recommended way to access your media files is via a UPnP server  
application. This method offers normally simpler set up and superior file  
searching compared to the Shared Folders method.  
If your computer is running Windows (XP or Vista), then Windows Media  
Player version 11 includes a UPnP server which will make your files  
available to your radio. There are other UPnP server solutions available  
for Windows users who may wish to use an alternative.  
If you use an Apple computer running a version of OS X then you may  
use a third party UPnP server application. Examples include EyeConnect  
and Twonky Media Server.  
If you use a version of the Linux operating system, there are a range of  
UPnP server applications available.  
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 since  
that will be the first choice for the majority of users.  
Selecting Media Sharing in Windows Media Player 11  
Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC  
1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista 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 files available to it on your PC. To add new media files to  
the library, select 'File > Add to Library… > Advanced Options', click  
'Add' and choose the files you wish to add and click ‘OK’.

select the 'Media Sharing…' item to open the 'Media Sharing' window.  
Make sure the box 'Share my media to:' is ticked.  
Allowing a device to connect to Windows Media Player 11  
5. 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' 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  
and WMP 11 to communicate (see 'Troubleshooting' on page 61).  
6. On the clock radio, select the named server again using the Select  
button. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with your radio you  
will be presented with some media selection options on the display.

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,  
albumandtrackinformationfrom'tags'embeddedineachle. 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.

8,9  
In UPnP mode the search criteria offered and the file types made available  
to the clock radio are a function of the UPnP server software installed on  
your PC. Such software can vary quite widely in its capabilities. Windows  
Media Player 11 has limited flexibility compared to some UPnP servers,  
but is generally easy to set up and reliable.  
Some third party server applications allow customisation of the search  
criteria and indexing methods, which can be useful if you have a very  
large collection of stored music files.  
Many UPnP server applications are also capable of sharing pictures and  
video files to other network connected devices. If this is the case (as it  
is with Windows Media Player 11) you may see the option of choosing  
between 'Music', 'Video' and 'Pictures' on your radios menu. Clearly you  
should only select the 'Music' option. Content offered via the alternative  
options will not be playable on your clock radio.  
9. The clock radio will display '[Add to Queue]'. Press the Select button  
and the clock radio will add all the tracks in the album to its queue  
and begin playing them automatically.

Media Player  
Media selection  
Whether you access your files using Windows Shares or using UPnP, the  
file selection mechanisms are the same. The only difference between the  
two methods 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 customisation  
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 search by a given information  
type (Album, Artist, etc.) and then to narrow the search, either just to an  
album or to a particular track within an album. The selected album or  
track is then added to a queue of tracks to be played. You can add more  
albums or tracks to the queue while music is playing, or you can jump  
between tracks in the queue. You can also clear the queue if you wish  
to make a fresh selection. The searches described here are examples of  
the possibilities available.

Entering the network address manually  
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic configuration, or if your  
network is configured 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 radio’s Settings menu, select 'Network' and then 'Edit config'  
menu.  
2. The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to configure your  
networkparameters(IPaddress,subnetmask,gatewayaddress,etc.).  
Unless you are familiar with networking and related terminology, we  
recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose 'Auto DHCP  
- YES' unless you need to specify network details manually.  
If you chose 'Auto DHCP - NO' for the connection method, the next  
step is to set up the IP address.

are using DHCP for some devices and static (manually configured)  
IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside the  
rangethattheroutermayallocateusingDHCP.Typically, therstthree  
groups of digits will be the same for all devices on your network. To  
enter the IP address, press the Tuning Up or Down buttons to set the  
value for each group of digits and then press the Select button to enter  
the value and to move on to the next group. When the IP address has  
been entered, the subnet mask should be entered. The subnet mask  
defineswhichpartsoftheIPaddressarecommonacrossyournetwork.  
For most small networks the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and  
this is entered in the same way.

Troubleshooting  
A wireless MAC address will typically be of the form  
If you experience any trouble with your Internet radio, then you may find  
it useful to visit the help section on our web site at  
or on Reciva's website at  
If you have difficulty connecting the radio to your computer network, some  
of these steps may help to resolve the problem:  
00:1F:1F:xx:xx:xx  
5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the  
correct encryption key into the radio. Remember that text-format WPA  
keys are case sensitive. If your radio displays 'Network error' when  
attempting to connect to an encrypted network, then please ensure  
that you enter the correct key for the network. If the problem persists,  
then you may need to re-check your network configuration.  
1. Confirm that a WiFi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can  
browse the web) using the same network.  
6. If you need to set up your radio's IP address manually, you will need to  
know low-level details of your network's configuration. Use the menu  
items ‘Main mode menu' -> 'Settings' -> 'Network' -> 'Edit config' ->  
'DHCP disable'.  
2. Check that a DHCP server is available (normally a router function),  
or that you have configured your radio to use DHCP. Your radio will  
by default use DHCP. This may be configured using the menu items  
‘Main mode menu' -> 'Settings' -> 'Network ' -> 'Edit config'. You then  
need to choose 'Auto DHCP - YES ' or 'Auto DHCP - NO'. If you enable  
DHCP then the radio will negotiate with your router (or DHCP server)  
and will be provided with an IP address as well as the other settings  
needed. If you wish to set the network configuration manually, refer  
to paragraph 6.  
The radio will then prompt you in turn for the  
Ethernet IP address  
Ethernet Subnet mask  
Ethernet Gateway address  
Ethernet Primary DNS  
Ethernet Secondary DNS  
If you are setting up a wireless connection manually you will also need  
to enter the SSID, the encryption type, and the encryption key.  
See page 56 for full details on how to set up your radio's network  
configuration manually.  
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. The use of Windows Shares requires access  
to UDP and TCP ports 135 - 139 and 445. Windows Media Player 11  
will allocate a port number for UPnP media sharing and will configure  
Microsoft's Windows built-in firewall appropriately. Other firewall  
software may require configration for UPnP or to allow particular IP  
addresses to have trusted access.

Information  
If your clock radio can connect to the network successfully, but is unable  
to play particular internet radio stations, it may be due to one these  
causes:  
1. The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it  
may be located in a different time zone, and some stations do not  
broadcast all day).  
2. Thestationhasreachedthemaximumallowednumberofsimultaneous  
listeners.  
3. TheInternetconnectionbetweenyourclockradioandtheserver(often  
located in a different country) is slow. This could be due to internet  
congestion, either locally or at a distance.  
4. The station is not broadcasting any more. The database of radio  
stations that your radio connects to is frequently updated and checked  
but may not always be completely accurate.  
5. The radio station is broadcasting using an audio format which is not  
playable by your radio (although the STREAMTIME does play the  
most popular formats used by regular broadcasters).  
Try using a PC to play the stream via the broadcaster’s web site or via the  
radio station database web site at http://radios.reciva.com If you can  
play the station with a PC, it may be that the internet feed or local network  
connectionispoor.However,somebroadcasters(suchastheBBC)provide  
different data streams for PC users and internet radio listeners, so this  
test is not always conclusive.

is not necessarily due to your radio, but it could be your network, your  
internet connection, the broadcaster, or internet congestion.

Software update  
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 clock 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 clock radio.  
It is important that you do not attempt this procedure unless you have a good Internet  
connection and a reliable mains power supply. As the radio connects to your router using  
a WiFi connection, make sure that this is also reliable before proceeding.  
1. The 'Software update' option is accessed via the Settings menu. When you select  
'Upgrade Firmware' the radio will display 'checking for updates' if there is a software  
update your radio will display 'Are you sure?'.  
2. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons to highlight the 'YES' option if you wish to go  
through the update process. If there are no updates then the display will show 'No  
upgrade available'.  
3
If you choose to update your radio it will first 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.  
4. Once the software update is completed, the clock radio will prompt you to press  
Select button to restart and your radio will then restart. You may find that you will  
need to reconfigure your network connection following an update. You may also need  
to re-enter all radio station presets, alarm settings, and configuration options.  
VERY IMPORTANT: Do not switch off the power to the clock radio until the update  
operation is complete and the radio has restarted, otherwise the clock radio may  
become permanently damaged.
