SECTION 1: GETTING STARTED
Introduction
Your SoundBridge Radio makes listening to Internet radio as easy as listening to AM/FM radio
with easy browsing of a variety of Internet radio stations and the ability to save your favorites
with the press of a button.You can import your own station URL’s to hear over 10,000 stations
from around the globe in every music or talk format. You can also stream your Mac or PC music
libraries stored on any computer that’s connected to your Wi-Fi home network. At your bedside,
SoundBridge Radio can gently wake you with your choice of music or radio station. A built-in
light sensor dims the display when you turn off the lights.
SoundBridge Radio was created with an advanced speaker system designed by audio legend
Dr. Godehard Guenther. The result is a set of speakers and subwoofer that work together
seamlessly to deliver unusually transparent and powerful acoustic performance not seen
previously from a system of this size. Please note: If you choose to listen to highly compressed
digital music (like low-bitrate MP3 files or Internet radio) you may find that the speaker system
reveals the audio limitations in the source material quite clearly. This is not a flaw of the system,
but rather a demonstration of the accurate audio reproduction possible with SoundBridge
Radio. Higher-bitrate audio (192kbps or greater) using advanced codecs like AAC and WMA will
sound very pleasing.

Setting Up Your SoundBridge Radio
To use SoundBridge Radio you will need to:
1. Put the included AAA batteries into your remote control. Make sure there is no object
blocking the IR receiver located on the right side of your SoundBridge Radio display.
2. Attach the AM and FM radio antennas. At the rear of the unit, the FM antenna plugs into the
FM connector labeled “FM” and the AM antenna plugs into the AM connector labeled “AM.”
3. Plug the power cord into the back of SoundBridge Radio, then into an electric AC power
outlet. There is no power switch to turn on SoundBridge Radio. As soon as you plug in the
power, you should see the Roku logo and the SoundBridge Radio welcome message.
4. Answer the questions on your display to configure SoundBridge Radio. SoundBridge Radio
will then search for your Wi-Fi network and automatically connect (or prompt you to enter
a WEP password). If SoundBridge Radio cannot find a network and you only want to listen
to AM/FM radio or music from your SD card, press Exit [
] on your remote control and
begin tuning to a radio station. If you want to configure the network connection later, have
more than one network, or use a security key, see Appendix 2: “Wi-Fi Setup Help.”
Note: The included AM antenna works well for strong, local stations. If you find that a particular
station does not come in clearly or is “noisy”, you may wish to consider an alternative antenna.
(We’ve found that the Terk AM-1000 “AM Advantage” works well.) Since many AM antennas
come with two bare wires, we have included a small adaptor. If you have this bare wire type of
antenna, plug the adaptor into the AM antenna jack on the unit, and then connect each wire of
your antenna to one of the two wires of the adaptor by twisting the wires together. Then wrap
some tape around the bare wire so that the two wires don’t touch.
When a software update is available, your SoundBridge Radio will automatically offer you
the choice to upgrade. Please take a minute to do so. You’ll just need SoundBridge Radio
connected to a network with a high-speed Internet connection. Roku will release a revised
user guide in PDF format periodically to explain new features or functions that have been
latest manual.

Configuring Your SoundBridge Radio
SoundBridge Radio allows you to customize your product by choosing from multiple
languages, and a range of time zones and geographic locations. Your country information is
used to select the correct Wi-Fi format. Note that it may be illegal for you to select an incorrect
country. SoundBridge Radio uses your time zone selection to set the time from an external
“atomic clock” time server from the Internet.
During this process, if you want to move back to a prior menu, use the Back [�] key on your
remote control. If at a later time you change your mind about your selections, you can change
them singly using SoundBridge Radio’s Web Interface or start fresh using “Reset to Factory
Defaults”. See the “SoundBridge Radio Web Interface” and “Advanced Features” chapters of this
manual for more information.
After completing these selections, SoundBridge Radio looks for a Wi-Fi connection, and then
connects to the Internet and to any networked computers with shared music servers (see
“Sharing Your PC or Mac Music Library”). You can now begin listening to AM/FM radio or
Internet radio.
Navigating SoundBridge Radio Menus
As you use your remote control to navigate between menus on SoundBridge Radio, you will see
just the first few lines of each menu. You can use the Bright button on your remote control to
adjust text size between 1, 2, or 4 lines of text. Use the Up/Down arrows on the remote control
to see the complete a list of menu options, then press Select [4] to choose a menu item.
Below are the first two levels of SoundBridge Radio menus:
To choose a music source to play, simply navigate to it and press Select. You will then see the
“Home Menu” for that source. Scroll down to see all the available commands for your music
source.

1. Press home[ ].
2. Press Down [ 6] and navigate to “Change Library or Configuration” and then press Select
[4]. All your available libraries are displayed.
3. Navigate to the library you would like and press Select [4] to access your desired music

Using headphones
For private listening, connect headphones to the headphone jack on the side of the unit. The
speakers are automatically muted when you plug in headphones. To change the volume level
of the headphones, use the volume knob on SoundBridge Radio or the volume buttons on the
remote control.
You won’t miss your alarm! The alarm is designed to sound from the built-in speakers even if
your headphones are connected.
Turning Off Your SoundBridge Radio
When you are finished playing music on your SoundBridge Radio, press Standby [�] on
your remote. In Standby mode, SoundBridge Radio’s display is blank or shows the time. See
“Advanced Features” for more information on SoundBridge Radio’s standby settings.
If you plan to disconnect SoundBridge Radio from AC power, be sure to press Standby [�] first.
This logs you out of the music server software running on your computer. Wait approximately
five seconds after pressing Standby [�] before unplugging SoundBridge Radio. This gives it
time to flush its settings for a clean reboot.
If you want to disconnect the power cord from your SoundBridge Radio, please place one hand
firmly on the subwoofer enclosure when removing the power cord from the unit.
If you want to disconnect the power cord from your SoundBridge Radio, please place one hand
firmly on the subwoofer enclosure when removing the power cord from the unit.
Note: If you unplug SoundBridge Radio from AC power five times without pressing Standby
[�] on your remote first, iTunes may lock you out of connecting to the server. This is
because iTunes allows a maximum of five users to connect at one time. If you do not first put
SoundBridge Radio in standby mode, iTunes thinks you are still connected. To restore your
access to the iTunes server, close iTunes and then restart it.

Introduction
Listening to AM/FM radio stations is similar to your experience with other radios. You can scan
for available stations and then store up to 18 of them as Presets.
If SoundBridge Radio is turned off, press the Standby [�] button on the remote control or
press any of the Preset buttons (numbered 1-6) or the Source [ ] button on SoundBridge
Radio. To tune in to an AM/FM station, press the Source [ ] button until “FM Radio” or “AM
Radio” is displayed, and then use the Scan Up [ ] and Scan Down [ ] buttons on the radio
or the Next Track/Previous Track [ : 9 ] buttons on the remote control to find stations.
SoundBridge Radio will rapidly search for radio stations with a strong signal. To tune in to a
specific station by frequency, press the up or down arrow on your remote at any point while
listening to the radio. You will see a list of frequencies similar to this:
X)) 105.3 FM
105.5 FM

Storing Your Favorite Radio Stations to Presets
A Preset is a quick way to play your favorite music on your SoundBridge Radio. Any music you
can play on the SoundBridge Radio can be saved as a Preset. This includes AM/FM and Internet
radio stations, playlists, albums, tracks by a particular artist, and so on. The SoundBridge Radio
presets are not “source specific” — there are not separate presets for FM, AM and Internet radio.
This allows you to arrange your Presets any way you like, and gives you one-button access to
any source.
SoundBridge Radio supports 18 presets in three banks of six: A1–A6, B1–B6 and C1–C6. Press
the A-B-C button to access each set of six presets.
To program an AM/FM radio station as a preset, press and hold one of the Preset buttons while
listening to the station until you hear a beep. To change the name of the preset as it appears in
your display, see the “SoundBridge Radio Web Interface” chapter of this user guide.
SECTION 3: PLAYING INTERNET RADIO
Introduction
What is Internet radio? It’s thousands of radio stations, broadcast by a variety of entities, from
large companies to independent broadcasters, streaming digital audio over the Internet. There
are free Internet radio stations for BBC, NPR, ESPN, jazz, rock, hip hop, and many, many other
formats. With Internet radio, you can hear more of the music you love or discover new favorites;
you can also listen to free news, sports, weather, and talk radio. You can listen to stations in
other countries, or from the home town where you grew up. Internet radio offers the most
music selection of any type of radio, and most stations are free.
You can listen to Internet radio in one of four ways. First, you can listen to SoundBridge Radio’s
built-in set of radio stations located in the “Internet Radio” Library. Your computer does not
need to be on - all you need is an active Internet connection on your home network. Second,
you can enter a URL of a radio station playlist on the Presets tab of the SoundBridge Radio web
page. (This feature is described more in the “SoundBridge Radio Web Interface” chapter of
this user guide.) Third, you can use Roku Radio Snooper to find, test and set a radio station url

you’re listening to on your computer to be a new SoundBridge Radio preset. Fourth, you can
use iTunes to tune in to other stations, and then play them back on SoundBridge Radio. (Note:
You can use iTunes for radio tuning even if you normally use Windows Media Connect as your
music server.)
3
Selecting Internet Radio Stations
To listen to one of SoundBridge Radio’s eighteen preset stations, you can either:
•
•
Push a Preset button; or
Press the Source [ ] button until you see “Internet Radio” on the display. The first available
Internet radio station will begin playing. Use the Scan Up [ ] and Scan Down [ ] buttons
to scan through the Preset stations preprogrammed in your SoundBridge Radio.
When you find a station to play, make sure the selection arrow [4] is pointing to the station
and wait – the station will begin playing in a few moments. (Or, if you are using your remote
Control to scroll through the list, press Select to choose a station to play.)
When the station is playing, the “Now Playing” screen looks similar to this:
Michelle Shocked — Black Widow
RadioParadise.com
Note: The song and artist information is provided by each Internet radio station. Therefore, it
may not be available for every station, or it may look slightly different.
Browsing Internet Radio Stations
You can also use your remote control to browse radio stations by Name, Genre, Language, and
Location. (There are about 100 pre-selected stations shipping in SoundBridge Radio now, and
this number is expected to increase in future software releases.)
To navigate to the “Internet Radio” Library using your remote control, follow these steps:
1.Press home Menu [ ] button on your remote. Navigate down to ”Change Library or
Configuration” and press Select [4].
Section 3: Playing Internet Radio
13
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
2.Your available music libraries will be displayed, including the one named “Internet Radio.”
Select that library and you will see a list of Internet radio stations. These are your Presets,
and they are pre-loaded when your SoundBridge Radio is first set up. See below for more
information on how to edit these Presets.
3.Press home Menu[ ] button to access your browsing options.
You will see the following options:
My Favorites
Browse
Play Preset
Show Now Playing
(Etc.)
Select “Browse” and select the method of browsing that you prefer:
Browse Names
Browse Genres
Browse Locations (by country of origin)
Browse Languages
Scroll down to the station you would like to hear and press Select [4] for more information
about the stream, or Play to begin playback.
hint: You can “Fast Browse” a list of results by pressing the Left/Right arrows on your remote;
your results will skip to the next letter of the alphabet.

Find Station URLs Using Roku Radio Snooper
Roku Radio Snooper is a free Windows application that enables you to quickly and easily
discover the URL for your favorite Internet radio stations and determine if the station is
supported by SoundBridge Radio and then make it one of your 18 SoundBridge Radio presets
Snooper. Once launched, the lightweight application runs in the background. And while you
are listening to any Internet radio stream on your PC, Snooper will test the stream, determine
compatibility in an instant, and then present you with the option to set a compatible station as
a preset with one button click. Snooper requires software version 2.5 or later running on your
SoundBridge Radio.
3
Playing Internet Radio from iTunes
If you want to listen to a station that is not among SoundBridge Radio’s built-in list of stations,
you can use iTunes to “tune in” to that station, and then listen to it on SoundBridge Radio.
(Windows Media Connect users can continue to use WMC for your music library, and just use
iTunes for this feature.)
To play Internet radio stations with the iTunes music server on SoundBridge Radio:
1.In iTunes, create a new playlist (for example, let’s call it “RadioFavorites”).
2. Find the stations that you would like to play on SoundBridge Radio; browse the iTunes
Internet radio station list by clicking on the Radio button on the Source tray of iTunes, or
import a specific URL from its online source.

4. Play this playlist on SoundBridge Radio. Connect to your iTunes Music Library by
choosing the “Change Library or Configuration” option from your Home Menu and select
the name of your library. Once connected, select “Playlists.” Scroll down to the saved
playlist (in our example, “RadioFavorites”) and select it. You can now scroll through your
favorite radio stations. Press Play to start playing your desired station.
Customizing Favorites and Presets for Internet Radio
There are two ways to save Internet radio stations for easy playback.
The first way is to save the station as a Preset. Whether the station was found by browsing
SoundBridge Radio’s built-in Internet Radio Library, by playing it from iTunes, or by entering it
manually on the web page, it can be stored as a Preset by pressing one of the Preset buttons on

the top of your SoundBridge Radio. You can also use Roku Radio Snooper. Or using the remote
control, press Select while the station is playing. You will see the following list of options:
Get info for “[Station name]”
Play Preset… (this displays a list of your 18 presets)
Save Preset: [Station name]
Add Station to My Favorites
Stop
Select the option “Save Preset: [Station name]” and press Select [4]. Scroll down to the
position you want to replace and press Select. Next time you view Presets, you will see that
station displayed in the position you have chosen. You will also see Presets displayed first in the
list of My Favorites.
The second way is to mark a station from the built-in Internet Radio Library as a Favorite. When
a station is marked as a favorite, it appears in the “My Favorites” list in the Internet Radio Library,
but does not use up one of the 18 Preset slots.
There are several important differences between Presets and My Favorites:
Ë
Presets are accessible from any Library, while My Favorites only appear in the Internet
Radio Library.
Ë
My Favorites may only contain stations found by browsing the Internet Radio Library.
Presets may contain stations from the Internet Radio Library, or saved from Roku
Radio Snooper, or saved from iTunes, or entered via the web page.
Ë
Ë
Presets can recall content other than Internet radio stations, like playlists or selections
that you have browsed to from SoundBridge Radio (such as all songs by a particular
artist, etc). My Favorites include only Internet radio stations.
When displaying My Favorites, Internet radio station Presets are also included at the
beginning of the list.

Presets can be programmed as discrete commands on a custom remote control. (For
more information about customizing your remote for SoundBridge Radio control and
a Pronto CCF file, please visit the Support section of our web site.)

To save an Internet radio station to My Favorites:
1. From the “Internet Radio” library, Scroll down to the “Browse” menu item. Navigate to the
station you would like to save.
2. Press Select [4]then press the Down arrow on your remote to display these options:
Play [Station name]
Get Station Info
Add Station to My Favorites
3. Scroll down to the option “Add Station to My Favorites” and press Select. You will see the
message “Station added to your favorites”. Next time you view My Favorites, you will see
that station displayed in the list.
You can also save a station to My Favorites while it is playing. Simply press Select to display
these options:
Get info for “[Station name]”
Play Preset
Save Preset: [Station name]
Add Station to My Favorites
Stop

Scroll down to the option “Add Station to My Favorites” and press Select.
Note: Only stations that you have accessed via the browse feature in the Internet Radio Library
can be saved to your Favorites. Stations that are played from an iTunes playlist or from a URL
manually entered as a preset cannot be saved to your Favorites.
Saving Stations Originating in iTunes to Presets
You can save Internet radio stations from an iTunes playlist to a Preset by pressing Select while
the station is playing in SoundBridge Radio. You will see the following options:
Get info for [Station name]
Play Preset
Save Preset: [Station name]
Stop
Stop and Clear Song Queue
Turn Screen Off
Scroll down to “Save Preset” and press Select. You will see a numbered list of existing presets
starting with A1, A2, etc. Scroll to the preset you would like to replace and press Select. You will
see the confirmation message “Preset Saved”.
hint: You cannot save stations imported from iTunes as Favorites, only Presets. (However,
stations saved as Presets will be displayed at the front of the list of “My Favorites”.)
Memorizing a Radio Playlist
You can also replace some or all of your existing presets with the contents of an Internet radio
playlist in iTunes. This is the fastest way to import a number of Internet radio stations into
SoundBridge Radio at once.
1. If you are still in the “Internet Radio” music library, exit it and enter your iTunes library.
(See the “Choosing Your Music Library” section of the “Browsing Music” chapter for
more about changing music libraries.)
2. Create a playlist in iTunes containing your favorite radio stations, as described
previously in this section.}
Section 3: Playing Internet Radio
20
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
hint: Your playlist can contain as many Internet radio stations as you like, but only the first
eighteen will be saved to your Presets. You can rearrange them by dragging and dropping to
their desired order inside the iTunes playlist, or (after saving them) on the SoundBridge Radio
web page (see the “SoundBridge Radio Web Interface” chapter of this document for more
information).
3
3. On the Home Menu of your iTunes music library, select “Settings”, then “Memorize
Radio Playlist”.
4. Follow the instructions to navigate to the playlist you want to save, and press OK.
5. You will receive a confirmation of what Internet radio streams were saved (up to the
first 30 characters of the name will be saved). You can press Back, or navigate to your
desired audio stream and press Select to play it immediately.
Note: If your list contains fewer than eighteen stations, SoundBridge Radio will replace the
Presets in the corresponding slots (starting with A1), and the remaining Presets will remain

From anywhere in the Internet Radio Library, press the home Menu [ ]. Choose the “My
Favorites” option. You will see a list of your Internet radio Presets followed by your Favorites.
Navigate to the station you would like to play and press Select [4]. You will have the option to
play it, get station info, or “Remove station from My Favorites”.
You can also just press the Down arrow [6] on the Now Playing screen of an Internet radio
station. Since there is no Song Queue when listening to Internet radio, this shortcut takes you
directly to “My Favorites”. If the currently-playing station appears in “My Favorites,” it will be
marked with the speaker icon X)) .
To play your Presets, you can either use the Preset buttons on the top of SoundBridge Radio, or
choose the Play Preset option from the Home Menu of any music library (not just the Internet
Radio Library). Choose the station you would like to play, then press Select.

Playback Limitations of Internet Radio Streams
SoundBridge Radio currently supports MP3 and WMA Internet radio stations. RealAudio and
AACplus stations are not supported at this time. However, stay tuned for additional formats
that may be supported in future software releases.
Unfortunately, there are few standards in Internet radio (especially for MP3 stations), and
sometimes a station will do something out of the ordinary that will prevent SoundBridge Radio
for more information.
Discovering More Internet Radio Stations
Our online user forums have an active discussion dedicated to helping SoundBridge users find
good Internet radio stations in a variety of genres. Visit our Forums (accessible from www.
rokulabs.com/support) and look for the discussion topics related to Internet radio stations
if you would like to find more stations in a particular genre. You can import a station URL
using SoundBridge Radio’s web interface (see SoundBridge Radio Web Interface for more
information). Please also visit our forums if you would like to suggest a station or post advice to
other SoundBridge users.

SECTION 4: ShARING YOUR PC OR MAC MUSIC LIBRARY
Introduction
In addition to playing AM/FM and Internet radio, SoundBridge Radio is a network music player.
That is, you can play music files that are stored on a computer connected to your Wi-Fi home
network. To browse, search and play these files stored on your computer, SoundBridge Radio
needs to receive data from software installed on the computer called a “music server.”
4
Music Servers
You probably already have a music server but perhaps didn’t realize it. For example, iTunes®
acts as a music server when it shares music to another iTunes user on the network. Microsoft®
has released its own music server, called Windows® Media® Connect.
The most common music servers are iTunes, Windows Media Connect, and Rhapsody™ but
there are others. There is no single standard for music servers; they are almost all different. One
of the benefits of SoundBridge Radio is that it supports all of the common music servers out
there with an easy-to-use interface.
Music Servers and SoundBridge Radio Features
SoundBridge Radio can play music from most Mac or PC music libraries, including WMA,
MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF. It can also play DRM WMA (protected Windows Media Audio files)
purchased from popular online music stores such as Napster,™ MSN® Music, Walmart.com, etc.
Although SoundBridge Radio can play AAC music, it cannot play the protected music that you
purchase from Apple’s iTunes online music store (Apple does not allow this).
You’ll want to start by launching a music server that is compatible with your SoundBridge
Radio. Compatible music servers include iTunes, Windows Media Connect, Rhapsody,
Musicmatch and others. If you want to use a PlaysForSure™ music service, you must use
Windows Media Connect as your music server. If you want to use the Rhapsody music service,
you must use Rhapsody as your music server. See the following table. Music servers behave
differently with SoundBridge Radio’s user interface features.
To experience the full SoundBridge Radio searching and robust browsing modes, you must
use a server that supports these functions, such as iTunes or Windows Media Connect. You will

find that some servers are not equipped for SoundBridge Radio’s search feature and that the
browse mode varies by server.

SECTION 5: BROWSING MUSIC
Introduction
Once SoundBridge Radio is successfully connected to your network and your server’s music
sharing options are enabled, SoundBridge Radio will automatically find your computer’s music
server and detect any supported music libraries.
Choosing Your Music Library
Your music libraries will be accessible in two ways:
1. Press the Source [ ] button on top of the unit to cycle through all of the audio sources
(AM/FM/Internet Radio/SD/Libraries) including your auto-discovered music libraries.
Release the Source button on your desired Library and SoundBridge Radio will enter it after
a few moments.
5
2. Go to SoundBridge Radio’s “Change Library” menu using your remote control: press the
home [ ] key on your remote, scroll down to “Change Library or Configuration” and press
Select, then choose the library you would like to access.
You will then see the “Home Menu”, where you can begin browsing and playing your music.
To change to a different library, or to play Internet radio, select the “Change Library or
Configuration” option located at the bottom of your Home Menu.
hint: SoundBridge Radio will automatically connect to the last library you were connected to
when awakened from Standby. Use the “Change Library or Configuration” option to select a
different library.
Remote Control Quick Reference
Use these commands on your remote control to select and play music:
•

next or previous letter of the alphabet, or if your list is not arranged alphabetically, by about
5% of your list at a time. Then use the Select [4] button to choose an item to play.
•
Use the Back [�] button to go one step backward while browsing, much like the Back
button on your Internet browser. (Pressing Back repeatedly displays the “Now Playing”
screen, with information about the song currently playing.)
•
•
•
•
The Search [ ] button takes you to your text-based search options (if supported by your
music server).
When you find a selection you want to play, you can use the Play [4] button to play it, or
the Add [+] button to add your current selection to the end of your Song Queue.
The Pause [; ] button pauses playback of audio currently playing; pressing again resumes
playback.
The Next Track/Previous Track [ : 9 ] buttons advance or retreat playback of your Song
Queue (or Internet Radio menu) one song at a time.

Browsing Your Music by Album
From the Home Menu, press the Down button until you see the “Browse” option highlighted
and press Select [4]. You will see a list of options:
Ë
Browse Artists
Browse Albums
If you scroll down, you will see these browsing options:
Browse Songs
Browse Genres
Browse Composers
Browse Server Containers
Note: The “Browse Server Container” menu option only shows up on UPnP servers that support
search, like Windows Media Connect.
Now, if you navigate to the “Browse Albums” option and press Select, you will see an
alphabetical listing of Albums found in your music library. The screen will look something like
this:
Ë
Parachutes
Paul’s Boutique
Section 5: Browsing Music
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
31
Navigate to the album that you want to hear using the Up/Down arrow buttons — in our
example, “Parachutes.” Or, for faster browsing, press the Right arrow to skip ahead in the album
list to the next letter of the alphabet. When the album you want is selected, press the Select
button for a listing of songs found on this album.
Ë Don’t Panic
Shiver
The music note next to each song name indicates the selection is an individual track (and not a
playlist, album or other collection of songs).
Note: Songs purchased from the Apple Music Store will be displayed with a padlock icon.
SoundBridge Radio is not able to play back these “locked” files — they will simply be skipped
during playback.
Use the Up/Down arrows again to highlight the song you want to play. Press the Play button
(or press the Select [4] button twice) to start that song playing. When the song begins
playback, the display will switch to the “Now Playing” screen, which looks something like this:
Don’t Panic
Coldplay
0:10/2:17
- Parachutes (2000) (|||------)
Please note that the artist and album information may be abbreviated, or appear one line
at a time, if the total number of characters exceeds what can be displayed at once. See the
“Advanced Features” chapter of this manual for more information on display options.
hint: If you would like to go back to the above “Now Playing” screen at any time in order to
see what’s playing, press Back [�] several times until you see this screen. Alternatively, press
home Menu [ ] , then scroll down to the “Show Now Playing” option and press Select. This
screen also appears by default after a few minutes of inactivity on the remote control.
Section 5: Browsing Music
32
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If you press Play on an album track, that track will play, followed by each track remaining on the
album. For example, if you press Play on track #5 on an album containing 10 tracks, then tracks
#5–#10 will play. (For continuous playback of the entire album, press Repeat [
] on your
remote control — the album will play until the end, then start again at the beginning.)
You can also browse to an album, artist or genre selection and press Play to start playing the
entire contents of the selected category.
If you are not sure what you have selected to play, simply press the Down arrow from your
“Now Playing” screen (the screen that displays the currently playing song). This is a shortcut to
the Song Queue, which shows your upcoming songs (see upcoming section, “Building a Song
Queue”).
5
hint: If you navigate to a new song and press Play while your original selection is playing,
you will overwrite the old selection (called the “Song Queue”) and begin playing your new
selection. Therefore you should only press Play when you want to clear your previous music
selections. Use the Add [+] button to add your new selection to the end of your Song Queue.
Browsing by Artist or Composer
Browsing by artist or composer works similarly to browsing by Album, as described above.
After entering your desired artist or album, you will see a screen that lists the albums available
by that artist:
Ë<Show all matching songs>
Medusa
You can add all songs by this artist to your existing Song Queue by pressing Add [+] while the
first menu item <Show all matching songs> is active. Or, press Play to play all songs by this
artist and replace your existing Song Queue. (Songs will play in the order they appear on each
album, with each album played in alphabetical order).
hint: Artist names starting with “the,” such as The Beatles, will be found under the first letter of
the word following “the” — in this case, “B” for “Beatles”.
Section 5: Browsing Music
33
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
You can choose specific albums or songs to play by navigating down to your desired album and
pressing Add [+] to add to an existing Song Queue, or Play to replace an existing Song Queue.
hint: if your selected album contains songs by different artists, such as compilation albums or
movie soundtracks, only the song(s) by your selected artist will be played. Browse by Album
instead to play all the tracks.)
Browsing by Song
Browsing by song displays a list of all the songs in your music library, listed in alphabetical
order. Use the Left/Right arrows to “fast browse” through the list, or Up/Down to move
through the list one item at a time.
Browsing by Genre
Browsing by genre displays an alphabetical listing of genres that describe the artists in your
music library. To add all songs within a genre to your Song Queue, highlight that Genre and
press Add.
To browse within a genre, such as Hip Hop/Rap, press Select on your desired genre. You will
see a list of artists in that genre, with the option to see a list of all albums in that genre. Or you
can navigate to an artist and press Select to view albums of the selected genre by that artist.
hint: Information about your music, including Song Name, Artist, Album, and Genre is usually
created automatically by the software you used to save your audio CD files on your computer’s
hard drive (a.k.a. “ripping”). This process creates data called “ID3 tags” to describe each track.
If this data is missing from your audio files, they will not appear when you browse by that
data category. If you need to edit your ID3 tags, or if you are not satisfied with the description
of genres (or other data) assigned to your music file, it is possible to edit that data in iTunes,
Windows Media Player or other supported music jukebox programs. (In iTunes, select the file(s)
to edit, click on File/Get info, and then click on the Info tab.)
Browsing Server Containers
On UPnP servers that support queries, your SoundBridge Radio will use its standard menu
layout, querying the server to get the required content. However, some UPnP servers have
Section 5: Browsing Music
34
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
special features or views that are only accessible if you browse the containers that they
export. The Browse Server Containers option allows you to directly browse your UPnP server’s
exported hierarchy.
Note: Non-music items may show up in this type of browsing, but SoundBridge Radio will
ignore these files if you try to “play” one of them.
SECTION 6: ThE SONG QUEUE
SoundBridge Radio automatically builds a Song Queue every time you select a song or album
to play. This section will tell you how to build a Song Queue, review a Song Queue and erase a
Song Queue.
6
Building a Song Queue
Let’s say you would now like to choose several different songs or selections to play in a row.
This is called building a “Song Queue.” SoundBridge Radio automatically builds a new Song
Queue every time you select a song or album to play. You can add to that list by navigating
to your preferred music and pressing Add [+]. The selection will be added to the end of the
current Song Queue.
You may add a single song, an entire album, all songs by an artist, all songs in a genre, or any
search result — just browse to the selection you prefer and press Add [+]. For example, if
you would like to play all songs by Coldplay, select Home menu > Browse > Browse Artists.
Navigate to Coldplay in your artist list and press Add [+]. All songs on all albums by Coldplay
will be played in the order they appear on each album. See “Browse” and “Search” for more
information.
Section 6: The Song Queue
35
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
You have several other options for building a Song Queue. After you press Select while
browsing on a song, a “Song” menu appears with the following options:
Play Songs, Starting With [selected song name] (and clear previous Song
Queue)
Get Song Info
Play Song (and clear previous Song Queue)
Add Song to Song Queue (same as pressing the Add [+] button)
The first, “Play Songs” option is described in the section above — it starts playing your album
(or other browsed list), beginning with the current track.
If you choose “Play Song” on any track in your selection, the entire list is added to the Song
Queue, but playback starts on the chosen track. If you have the Repeat [
] option selected,
the earlier tracks in the queue will play after the last song. If you have the Shuffle [ ] option
selected, then the chosen track will play first, followed by all the other tracks in the list in
random order.
The “Add song to Song Queue” option behaves similarly to the Add [+] button— it places the
current song at the end of your playlist.
You can add an almost unlimited number of songs to your Song Queue. Each selection will be
played in the order it was entered (unless you have chosen to Shuffle your Song Queue).
hint: After you have selected multiple songs to be played in turn, you can use the Next Track
[ : ] and Previous Track [9] buttons to skip from song to song in your Song Queue.
Reviewing a Song Queue
At any point, you can review what’s in your Song Queue by pressing the Down arrow from
the Now Playing screen, which is the default screen that appears while SoundBridge Radio is
playing. The Now Playing screen looks something like this:
Don’t Panic
Coldplay
0:10/2:17
Parachutes (2000) (|||------)
Section 6: The Song Queue

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Alternatively, you can press home Menu [ ], then select the “Show Song Queue” option. You
will see the entire list of songs in your Song Queue; refer to the scroll bar on the right side of
the screen to determine where in the list you are located. Press the Up/Down arrows to see the
entire list of selections in your Song Queue. The currently playing selection is indicated by a
speaker
.
You cannot save a Song Queue that you have created — it’s only held in memory temporarily
until you build your next Song Queue. If you would like to build a Song Queue that you can
save, please build a Playlist in your music jukebox software (see “Playing a Saved Playlist”
below).
When the Song Queue has played all the way through, it will stop (unless repeat has been
selected). You will see the Stop icon < on the right side of your display. To start playing your
Song Queue again at the beginning, press the Play button.
6
Erasing a Song Queue
If you decide you don’t want to play the Song Queue you’ve just created, simply select
something else to play. Navigate to another selection (song, playlist, etc.) and press Select [4]
or Play (not Add [+]). This selection immediately replaces your old Song Queue.

SECTION 7: ADDITIONAL PLAYBACK OPTIONS
Playing a Playlist
To play a playlist that you have created in your music jukebox software such as iTunes or
Windows Media Player, select the Playlist option from the home Menu [ ]. Use your Up/
Down arrows to browse your playlists one by one, find the one you want to play, then press
Play to play all songs on the playlist immediately or Add [+] to add the playlist to your Song
Queue. Playlists can include audio tracks, Internet radio streams, even iTunes’ Smart Playlists.
If your playlist was created in Windows Media Player or other software using Windows Media
Connect, be sure to save your playlist in the My Music/My Playlist folder on your hard disk, or
configure Windows Media Connect to share the directory on your hard drive containing the
playlist.
Repeat and Shuffle
Pressing Repeat [
] once makes your Song Queue play continuously. You will see the Repeat
icon displayed on the right side of your “Now Playing” screen below the Play icon. Pressing
Repeat again makes the current song play over and over; you will see another Repeat icon, a
circle with just one arrow. Press Repeat a third time and you will remove the Repeat command
altogether.
Pressing Shuffle [ ] while playing a Song Queue will give you the following options:
Shuffle On — will play everything in your Song Queue in random order. (The shuffled order of
songs will be displayed in the Song Queue.) An icon with two crossing arrows
on your Now Playing screen.
will be displayed
Shuffle Off — will play everything in your Song Queue in the original order.
You can execute the Repeat and Shuffle command from any menu in SoundBridge Radio.
Even though you can only see the mode change on the Now Playing screen, the command is
taking effect.

Search Options
To search for a specific selection by spelling it out, you can press the Search [ ] button on
your remote control, or navigate down to the “Search” option from the Home Menu. (Note:
Unfortunately, Rhapsody and Musicmatch don’t support searching on SoundBridge Radio at
this time. If searching is not available, the Search menu item will not appear, and pressing the
Search key on the remote will display an error message.)
Whether you use the Search menu item or the remote button, you will see the following
options:
Search for Titles
Search for Albums
Search for Artists
Search for Composers
Search Keywords
Press Select on the option you would like to search with. Then, use your Left/Right arrows on
the remote control to enter characters for spelling your selection and then pressing Select.
When you are done spelling, use the Down [ ] button to go to the OK option and press
Select. (If you make a mistake, use the Down [ ] button to go to the Delete option and press
Select.)
7
hint: Partial spelling is OK — the Search function searches for letters anywhere in the word,
as opposed to just at the beginning. For example, to search for Radiohead, you can enter any
combination of letters found in the word (“RA,” “DI,” “HE,” etc.), and the results will return all
Artists containing those letters (e.g., if you enter “DI” you may get Radiohead, India Arie, and
Diana Krall).
When you find the music you like, use the Add [+] button to add it to your Song Queue. If
searching for albums or artists, you can press Select [ ] to navigate down to individual tracks.

SECTION 8: PRESETS
As discussed in previous chapters, your SoundBridge Radio includes 18 Preset positions, which
can store a variety of selections for your quick and easy recall. You can save just about anything
to Presets that you can play on SoundBridge Radio. For example, you can save all tracks by
a single artist, a Playlist, an Internet radio station, or a set of search results. Simply navigate
to your selection and press the Play button. Then press Select and scroll down to the option
“Save Preset: [Name of selection]”. Each existing Preset will be displayed: A1-A6, B1-B6, and C1-
C6. Choose which preset you would like to replace, and your preset will be saved.
For example, let’s say you want to save all tracks by the artist Coldplay as one preset. Select the
Browse/Browse Artists options and scroll down to the listing “Coldplay”. Press Play, and then
press Select. Scroll down to the option “Save Preset: Tracks by Coldplay” and press Select.
Note: You cannot make a preset out of a Song Queue that was created using the Add key or
menu command. The selection must be playable simply by hitting the Play key on the remote.
Individual tracks cannot be saved as Presets. When an Internet radio station is playing, even if it
was part of a larger list, only the individual station is saved.
Recalling Presets
You can access your Presets in several ways:

SECTION 10: ALARM CLOCK
Introduction
You can set your alarm to play any preset or to a variety of alarm tones. The SoundBridge Radio
alarm is designed to awaken you gradually, starting out softly and gradually ramping up in
volume. You can adjust the final volume level reached by the alarm. SoundBridge Radio has
two alarms, which can be set to go off at two different times during the day. Each is equipped
with a snooze alarm.
Setting the Alarm
To set your alarms or check your alarm settings, follow these steps:
Press the Alarm [ ] button on the top of the radio. You will see the dual alarm display as
illustrated below. This shows you whether the alarms are on or off, and at what time they will
sound.
ALARM 1
ALARM 2
OFF
OFF
7:00 AM
7:00 AM
[
] Hold to set
Continue to hold the Alarm [ ] button for a few seconds and you will be in the Alarm Set
mode. To switch from Alarm 1 to Alarm 2, you simply press the Scan Down [ ] arrow.
ALARM 1
OFF
7:00 AM
Buzzer 1
Volume 70
Use the navigation keys on the remote control, or the Source [ ] button on SoundBridge
Radio to move from option to option on the display. For example, to change the time, you will
press the Source [ ] button two times from the Alarm 1 position.
Once you are positioned at an option you want to change, use the Scan Up [ ] and Scan
Down [ ] arrow buttons to change the settings.
When you are finished, press the Alarm [ ] button.
An alarm bell [ ] displays when the alarm is set. Thirty seconds before the alarm goes off, a
message displays telling you the alarm is about to sound, and you may press the Standby [�]
button to turn off the alarm or press the Snooze button to defer it by 7 minutes.
Section 10: Alarm Clock

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Once the alarm is sounding, you can do one of the following:
• Press the Standby [�] button to turn off the alarm
• Press the Alarm [ ] button to turn off the alarm and continue listening to the music. When
you press the Alarm button, the music will stay at the volume level you are hearing when
you press the Alarm button.
• Press the Snooze button to quiet the alarm for 7 minutes. You can use the snooze alarm
repeatedly for as long as you like.
Note: The alarms will sound through SoundBridge Radio’s speakers even if headphones are
plugged in.
Wake-Up Selections
You can choose to wake to any of the 18 presets you have set or a variety of alarm tones. To
make a wake up selection, follow these steps:
1.Hold down the Alarm [ ] button for a few seconds to enter into alarm set mode.
2. Use the Source [ ] button to advance to the sound setting on your display. The default
sound setting on your alarm display is Buzzer 1.
3. Use the Scan Up [ ] and Scan Down [ ]buttons to scroll through the 18 Preset [A1–A6,
B1–B6 and C1–C6] buttons and three buzzer tone selections.
4. Once you find the music or buzzer tone you want for your alarm, press the Alarm [
]
button.
Sleep Function
You can set your radio to turn off after a period of time so you can go to sleep with music
playing. You can set the interval of sleep by pressing the Snooze/Sleep button several
times. Once set, your display will show a small clock icon ∏. When it’s time to shut off, your
SoundBridge Radio will then slowly ramp down in volume and go into Standby. To cancel the
Sleep function, press the Snooze/Sleep button until you see the “Sleep Timer Off” message.
10
Note: Because Sleep and Snooze share the same button on the radio, an alarm sounding will
clear the sleep timer, and SoundBridge Radio can’t enter sleep mode if an alarm is sounding
or snoozing.

SECTION 11: ADvANCED FEATURES
Display Options
Brightness, Contrast, Font, and Text Display
The Bright [ ] button on your remote lets you change the brightness of your display using
the Left/Right arrows. Text size and font options can be controlled using the Up/Down arrows.
Brightness & Time Format While in Standby
While your SoundBridge Radio is in Standby mode (when the unit displays the time and is not
playing music), you can adjust the brightness and format of the time on the display.
• Use the Right/Left [34] to adjust the brightness of your display. Pressing Left [3]
dims the clock display; pressing Right [4 ] brightens it. These settings do not affect the
brightness settings of the display when playing music.
• Use Up/Down [56] to change the time format. You can display large or small fonts,
display the time but not the date, and display the time and date. These settings do not
apply to when you are listening to the radio or your music libraries.
Light Sensor
SoundBridge Radio includes a light sensor that dims the display when your ambient light is
significantly reduced – for example, when you turn off the lights to go to sleep. You can adjust
the level of brightness during the “dim” and “bright” states to suit your room environment.
Simply change your light conditions and wait for the on-screen prompt to confirm or adjust
the brightness levels. Note that the levels you set while the unit is operating are different than
when the unit is in Standby mode, and the lower-light display condition in each of these states
must be dimmer than the brighter-light condition.
Settings
SoundBridge Radio display and playback settings can be changed in the “Settings” option
located at the bottom of the Home Menu. Your Settings screen will show the following options
(scroll down using your remote control to see the complete list):

Memorize radio playlist (iTunes only)
This option is for an iTunes server and allows you to create a playlist of up to 18 Internet radio
stations and then memorize this radio playlist directly into your SoundBridge Radio. See the
Internet Radio chapter for more information.
Clock Settings
When in standby mode, SoundBridge Radio can display the date and time, similar to the screen
below.
1:17:49 PM
Monday, April 17, 2006
You can customize the clock display in a number of ways:
1. When in Standby mode, use the Left/Right arrows to adjust the brightness of the clock
display. (This will not affect the brightness settings of the display when in regular playback
mode.) Turn the brightness all the way down until you see the word “Standby” to have the
screen go completely blank when in Standby. If the screen is blank, pressing the Select
[
] key will momentarily display the time and date.
2. When in Standby mode, use the Up/Down arrows to cycle through modes of display.
For example, you can display large and small fonts, display the time but not the date, etc.
(Again, these settings will not be applied to your display when you resume SoundBridge
Radio’s regular playback mode.)
3. Use the SoundBridge Radio web page to configure the format of the date and time. You can
also turn off the clock display altogether. Please see the “SoundBridge Radio Web Interface”
chapter of this user guide for instructions on launching your SoundBridge Radio web page.
After your web page is launched, click on the Configuration tab. Scroll down on the page until
you see a screen that looks similar to the next diagram.
Section 11: Advanced Features
52
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Here, you can customize how your time appears and correct errors in the display of your date
and time. First, be sure that your time zone is selected correctly. SoundBridge Radio uses an
Internet connection to display the proper time for your time zone. If your Internet connection is
not available, SoundBridge Radio will be unable to display the date and time in Standby mode.
Note: that the default configuration of the date and time fields depends upon the language
you have selected for your SoundBridge Radio display, but may be edited to suit your needs.
11
Format your time display by choosing what to display in each of four fields. SoundBridge Radio
“strings together” all the fields to create the time display. For example, if you don’t want to
see seconds, or don’t want to see “AM/PM”, select the hour and minute format, then choose
Section 11: Advanced Features
53
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
the “Leave Blank” in the remaining drop down menus. Take note of the small text-entry boxes
to the right of the pop-up menus. This is where you enter the character that should appear
between the sections of the time. For example, enter a colon (“:”) for the usual “12:15” format.
To disable the date/time display altogether when SoundBridge Radio is in standby, select the
corresponding option on this page.
Don’t forget to click the “Update” button for the date or time configuration once you’ve
changed it. Since the update buttons correspond separately to date, time, time zone, etc, you
should only update one section at a time, then press the appropriate update button.
Date Format
You can use the various drop-down menus on the Configuration web page (see “Clock
Settings” above) to reconfigure how the date appears on your SoundBridge Radio when in
Standby mode. Select “Update Date Format” when you are finished making the changes. Your
SoundBridge Radio is now reconfigured with your selections. When you are finished, simply
close your web page.
Language Setup
SoundBridge Radio will prompt you for your desired language the first time you set up the unit.
If you would like to change the language after the initial setup, use the SoundBridge Radio web
page. Please see the “SoundBridge Radio Web Interface” chapter for instructions on launching
your SoundBridge Radio web page. Then, choose the “Configuration” tab. You can choose your
language in one of two ways:
1. From the drop down menu titled “Select Language”, Choose from the options available.
(Currently, SoundBridge Radio ships with the following language options: English, French,
German, Spanish, Swedish, Japanese, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Click the
“Change” button to switch to the chosen language.
2. If your language is not listed in the above options, you can upload a Language Resource
File containing the instructions to display another language. To see if a third-party
support/international. To download and edit or “translate” this file for your language, click
Section 11: Advanced Features

on the “View Current Language Resource File” link. To upload a resource file that you or
another third party has created, use the Browse button on the web page to locate the file
on your computer’s hard drive, then click “Update” to load it into SoundBridge Radio.
hint: You can always revert to SoundBridge Radio’s built-in default languages by clicking the
“Revert” button on the bottom of the Language settings area.
When you are finished editing your language settings, simply close your web page.
Standby and Reboot Options
On the SoundBridge Radio “Configuration” Web page, under “Options”, you can specify how
SoundBridge Radio behaves while in Standby mode and after powering up. Standby options
include: Display clock, Screen off. Reboot options include: Return to last state, Enter Standby,
Reconnect to last source, and Show Server List. (These options are useful if, for example, your
SoundBridge Radio is connected to a power strip with other equipment, and you would like it
to remain in standby even after the power returns to the unit.)
WMA Lossless Transcoding
This is an option that only needs adjusting if you are having trouble with WMA Lossless
playback. Reducing the Bitrate will help SoundBridge Radio tell the difference between WMA
and WMA Lossless based on the Bitrate of the stream. (For more information about this feature,
please visit Roku’s user forum at rokulabs.com/support.)
FLAC and Ogg-vorbis Transcoding
You can use the Firefly media server to transcode your audio files from FLAC or Ogg-Vorbis to
be playable on SoundBridge Radio. For more information about the Firefly media server, please
see the Music Server chapter in section 4 of this manual.
Programming a Universal Remote Control
11
Roku has made available for download a “CCF file” with all of the remote control codes
supported by SoundBridge and SoundBridge Radio. A CCF file is a remote control
configuration file compatible with Pronto programmable universal remotes made by Philips
Section 11: Advanced Features
55
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
and other brands. Some other programmable universal remotes can also use or import CCF
files. Please consult the instructions for your particular remote control to see if you can
use a CCF file.
The SoundBridge CCF file includes all of the functions available on the standard SoundBridge
remote, as well as some additional special-purpose and direct-access commands that may be
of interest to some users. These functions include: discrete power on/off; stop; Preset keys for
all 18 Presets; keys for all the Browse options; and, keys to directly access Internet radio, AM/FM
radio (SoundBridge Radio only), and the last-used music server library.
Safe Mode
Soundbridge Radio includes a Safe Mode option. Safe Mode enables automatically when
Soundbridge Radio detects that its software has become corrupted (this should not normally
happen). While in Safe Mode you can download a new version of software from Roku or restore
factory settings. When Soundbridge Radio enters Safe Mode, you will see the text “Safe Mode”
displayed superimposed over the Roku logo during the startup animation.
Safe Mode can also be entered manually by powering Soundbridge Radio off by unplugging
it from power, then plugging it in again while pressing and holding any button on the remote
control during boot-up.
While in Safe Mode, your stored settings will not be recalled. Therefore, you will be prompted
to enter your language and Wi-Fi region again. If you need to update the software on your
SoundBridge Radio, you will also need to select a network and enter the WEP key (if needed) or
use SD card mode.
In Safe Mode, SoundBridge Radio goes directly into the System Configuration menu, with
options limited to checking for software update and resetting factory defaults. The Roku logo is
displayed next to the menu with “Safe Mode” superimposed on it, like the startup animation.

SoundBridge Radio comes with a SD/MMC card slot for playing offline digital music files. To
play music from an SD card, follow these steps:
1. Insert your SD card in the slot on the right side of the unit.
2. Press the Source [ ] button on SoundBridge Radio until the SD Card displays.
3. Use the Scan Up [ ] or Scan Down [ ] buttons on SoundBridge Radio or Up/Down
[56] on your remote control to move between song files (tracks).
Roku Control Protocol (RCP)
SoundBridge Radio supports a sophisticated control protocol called the Roku Control Protocol
(RCP). Look for third party applications that run on your PC, Mac, or PDA that allow remote
Wi-Fi control of your SoundBridge Radio using RCP. If you are a developer, see the Community
tab on our web site for more information. There, you can find links to third-party software and
discussion of controlling SoundBridge Radio in our user Forums (look for the Control Forum.) A
link to the forums can be found in the support tab on our web site.
Geeks — Read This
The SoundBridge Radio has a command line interface that you can “telnet” to for piddling
about. You will need to telnet to port 4444. You can quickly get to a Telnet prompt by going to
the built-in web page’s “Status” tab and clicking on SoundBridge Radio’s IP address. Type “?” at
the command prompt to see a list of commands. See the developer section of our web site for
more details, including the RCP remote control protocol.
SoundBridge Radio has a built-in UPnP AV “media renderer.” This protocol can be used to
control the SoundBridge Radio from your own software. Please watch the developer section of
our web site for updates on this feature.

Steps for using Windows Connect Now
SoundBridge Radio works with Windows Connect Now which acts as a wireless network setup
wizard to detect your network passwords and configure SoundBridge Radio to accept them.
Follow these steps to use Windows Connect Now:
1. Connect a card reader to your computer and insert an SD or MMC card. The drive letter of
the card should be noted (this can be found in My Computer).
2. Run the ‘Wireless Network Setup Wizard’ from the XP control panel and follow the
instructions. A number of files will be written to the SD or MMC card attached to the
computer via the card reader. Be sure to choose the driver letter as noted above.
3. Take the SD or MMC card out of the reader and plug that card into SoundBridge Radio.
4. Use the SoundBridge Radio remote control to scroll down to ‘Select Wi-Fi SSID and
Password’ and press Select. This detects the files on the SD card and uses the information to
configure the SSID and password.
5. Restart SoundBridge Radio.
Note: Because SoundBridge Radio doesn’t write anything back to the SD/MMC card you won’t
see SoundBridge Radio show up in the final network list if you have followed the ‘Wireless
Network Setup Wizard’. You may have to click ‘Cancel’ on the ‘Wireless Network Setup Wizard’
because the computer expects the card to be reinserted after setup of network devices is
complete.
Multiple Wi-Fi Networks
If SoundBridge Radio detects more than one Wi-Fi network, you will be asked to select which
SSID (network name) you want to use. You will only be asked to select an SSID if you have more
than one wireless network at your location. If you have more that one network, scroll down to
select from the Wi-Fi networks you have and press Select [ ].
You can also enter the name of a Wi-Fi network. To enter a network name, follow these steps:
1.From “Select Wi-Fi SSID and Password,” select “Specify a wireless network” and press
Select [ ].
11
65 13

2. Use Right/Left [34] to find letters, number and spaces in the Wi-Fi network name and
then press Select for each letter, number and space you choose.
3. Use Up/Down [56] for “OK,” spaces, delete, commas, periods, accent letters, numbers
and uppercase or lowercase letters.
Entering a Security Key
If you have a security key, you will need to enter your WEP [Wired Equivalent Privacy (802.11
encryption protocol)] key. This is the same key you entered into your Access Point and your
computer. To find more information about your Access Point, see “Appendix 2: “Wi-Fi Access
Point Password.”
As of this writing, the SoundBridge Radio software is version 2.5 and does not support “WPA”.
Check for software updates if you need this feature.
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Setup
If you have problems connecting the SoundBridge Radio to your music library, please check the
following:
1. Is SoundBridge Radio powered on (is the screen lit)?
2. Is SoundBridge Radio within range of your wireless network signal? (Performance varies
depending on wireless network hardware, physical barriers such as walls, and signal
interference.)
3. Is your computer on and is your Wi-Fi access point plugged in?
4. Is your music server software running on your computer? Are your music sharing options
enabled? (See “Enabling Music Sharing” in the “Getting Started” chapter.
5. If you have a password, did you enter it correctly, including case sensitive characters?
6. Is your wireless access points (WAP) compatible with SoundBridge Radio? For a list of
support.

allow you to create another password/passphrase that they use to generate the WEP key. You
want the WEP key itself, and not that other password. Below are detailed instructions for where
to find your SSID and WEP key for several common wires access points. More information is
forums.
