If there are more than five items in a menu, then the display will automatically scroll
up or down so that the additional items become visible. A sliding bar on the right
will give an indication showing the current portion of the menu that is displayed.
If there are many items in a menu, then the sound system allows the menu to
'wrap around' in either direction. This can make it easier to reach items at the end
of a long menu, such as a list of countries or Internet radio stations.
5. The Forward button may also be used to make selections from the displayed
4
menu or to select the next character in text entry screens.
If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back
to a higher level menu by pressing the Back button.
6. The Info button allows the display of information relating to the radio station or
music file being played.

Connecting your radio to your computer network
1. Place your sound system on a flat surface and plug the cable from the
mains adaptor into the DC input socket located at the rear of your
sound system (marked 'DC in') ensuring that the plug is pushed fully
into the socket.
2. If you wish to use a wired network connection, plug the Ethernet cable
into the RJ-45 socket at the back of the sound system.
3. 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
radio from the mains, the mains adaptor should be removed from the
mains socket outlet completely.
4. When you apply power, the display on the radio will light up and say:
'ROBERTS' and 'STARTING' with a progress indicator. The first time
that you use your sound system (or after a Factory Reset) the display
will show 'Setup wizard' and 'YES' will be highlighted on the screen.
Press the Tuning/Select control to start the setup wizard. You will
then have a choice to set the clock to use the 12 or 24 hour format.

7. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the time zone which is
applicable to your location. Press the control to enter the setting.
8. You will then need to set the Daylight Savings option according to your
location (Daylight Savings is also known as Summer/Winter time or
BST/GMT adjustment).
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight 'YES' to turn on daylight
savings if required or 'NO' if you do not wish to use daylight savings
then press the control to confirm the setting.
In the UK, 'ON' is equivalent to British Summer Time and 'OFF' is
equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time.

If your network allows automatic configuration (which is normal) the sound
system will acquire a network address. The screen should say 'Connecting...',
and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control to exit
the setup wizard and show the main Internet Radio menu. You can then skip
to paragraph 18 overleaf.
There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you
have problems with your wired connection, they may help you to identify the
possible cause of the problem.

Green ON = Link established; OFF = no connection
Yellow ON or Flashing = Data transfer
If your network does not support automatic configuration or if you wish to set
it up manually then you should select '[Manual config]' instead of selecting
'[Wired]' in the Network Wizard, then see page 16.
11. If you plan to use a WiFi connection, you will first need to identify your network
in the list of network names presented by the Network Wizard. If no networks
are found then you may have to get your wireless router working (please see
the instructions supplied with it) or you may be too far from the router.
When the sound system finds your wireless network, it displays the Network
Name (SSID) for the wireless access point on the screen. This is a name that
is allocated to the access point in your router by the person who set up the
network - for example: 'Jones family' or 'Paul's network'. If the router supports
WiFi Protected Setup, then '[WPS]' will be shown in front of the SSID.
It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your sound system will
find more than one wireless network, in which case you should choose which
one you need to connect to.
12. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to see the SSID for each wireless network
that has been found. If your network is shown proceed to step 14 on the next
page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 13.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back option to go back to the
previous screen.

13. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is configured not to broadcast the SSID. You
should then use the Tuning/Select control to highlight and select the '[Manual config]' option in order to
enter the network details manually. This is described in 'Manual Network Configuration', see page 16.
If your network name is being broadcast, and it was not found, then try re-scanning (press the Back button),
and if necessary try moving your sound system to a location closer to your access point / router.
14. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to is highlighted on the screen, press the
Select control. If WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) was indicated, you will see an additional menu at this point,
otherwise proceed to step 15.
Choose one of the WPS menu options as required for your router (WPS may be via push button, or using
an identification number).
'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router and then the Select control
on the sound system. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to
the sound system.

Press the Select control to exit setup wizard and then go to paragraph 18 on the next page.
15. If your network is configured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and then
'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control to exit the setup wizard and show the main
Internet Radio menu. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your sound system to your
network, so please go to paragraph 18 on the next page.
16. If the screen displays 'Key:', it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). You will need to enter the correct WEP or
WPA key into the sound system to allow it to communicate with your wireless network. 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 documentation provided with it. WPA is used here to also include WPA2.

WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some wireless
routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported. WPA
keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters.
Your sound system accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.
17. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the
Tuning/Select control. As you rotate the control, the highlight scrolls through
the available characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character
currently highlighted will be entered when you press the Tuning/Select control.
13-18
Do this as needed until the complete key has been entered. Remember, WEP
keys only use the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper
and lower case characters. You must enter the key exactly or the sound system
will not connect to the network.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions.
You can quickly access these by pressing the Info button and then use the
Tuning/Select control as needed:

setup wizard. The sound system should now be able to connect to the network.
18. Once you have connected your sound system to the network (and therefore also
to the Internet) it will display the main Internet Radio menu. Press the On/Off
button to put the sound system in Stand-by mode. It should then display the time
as obtained from the Internet. If the time display is not correct for any reason, it
can easily be adjusted later, see page 72, 'Manually setting the clock'.

If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your sound system will have connected
to your router, and then made a connection to the Internet and set its clock. If this is the case, then you can
try listening to radio stations via the Internet as described on page 19 onwards.
Changing the network connection
In the sections above, you chose how your sound system would be connected to your network, either
using a WiFi connection or using a wired Ethernet cable. From time to time, you may find that you need to
connect to different computer networks. The Internet setup menu allows you to change your radio’s network
settings, scan for an alternative wireless network, or to manually configure the network parameters.
The steps outlined below describe how you can do this - see also the section 'Network profiles' on page 87.
If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 19.
Configuring the sound system to use an alternative WiFi connection
1. From the Network settings menu select 'Network wizard'. This will present you with details of any WiFi
networks that are found. Scroll down the list using the Tuning/Select control to the desired network
name. Press the control to select this network.
The radio will then use its WiFi system to communicate with the network. Depending on the settings
for the new network you may need to enter an encryption key (see pages 13-14). By default the sound
system will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.
Configuring the sound system to use the wired Ethernet connection
2. Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ-45 socket at the back of
the unit. From the Network settings menu select 'Network wizard'. This will present you with details of
any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list to the '[Wired]' option using the Tuning/Select
control. Press the control to select this.
The sound system will then use its Ethernet connection to communicate with the network. By default
the unit will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.

Manual network configuration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic configuration, or if your network is configured with a hidden
SSID, thenyouwillneedtoentersomenetworksettingsmanually. (Note-ahiddenSSIDmaypreventcasual
observers from detecting your network, but it is not recommended as a means of network security.)
1. From the sound systems Network settings menu, select 'Manual settings'. You must then choose
whether to connect using 'Wired' or 'Wireless' connections. If you choose 'Wireless' there are as many
as nine settings screens, shown by the '1 of 9' progress marker in the top right corner of the display. If
you choose 'Wired' there are five screens and the progress marker will reflect this, although the steps
to set up the network parameters are basically the same.
2. The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to configure your network parameters (IP address,
subnet mask, gateway address, etc.). Unless you are familiar with networking and related terminology,
we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose 'DHCP enable' unless you need to specify
the network details manually.
If you have chosen 'Wired' and then 'DHCP enable', your sound system should now establish a
connection to the router using the Ethernet cable. Please skip to step 11 on page 18.
If you chose 'Wireless' and 'DHCP enable', please skip to step 6 on page 17 in order to set up the
wireless connection details.
If you chose 'DHCP disable' for either connection method, the next step is to set up the IP address.
3. The manually specified IP address should be chosen to be compatible with the settings in your router
and must be a unique address on your network. If you are using DHCP for some devices and static
(manually configured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside the range that
the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the first three groups of digits will be the same for all
devices on your network. To enter the IP address, rotate the Tuning/Select control to set the value for
each group of digits and then press the control 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 defines
which parts of the IP address are common across your network. For most small networks the subnet
mask will be 255.255.255.0 and this is entered in the same way.
4. The Gateway address is normally the IPaddress of the router through which the sound system connects
to the internet and is entered in the same way as the previous addresses.

5. In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same IP address
as your router. In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero.
To enter the DNS address, rotate the Tuning/Select control to set the value for each group of digits
and then press the control to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all
eight groups of digits have been entered.
If you previously specified 'Wired' and then 'DHCP disable', your sound system should now connect to
the router using the Ethernet cable (in which case skip to step 11).
6. If you specified 'Wireless', the next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the name of the
wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password.
To enter the SSID, characters are selected and entered using the Tuning/Select control. As you rotate
the control, the radio scrolls through the available characters as well as the three controls on the right.
The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press the Tuning/Select control.
Do this as needed until the complete network name has been entered. The SSID setting is sensitive
to upper and lower case characters and symbols. You must enter it exactly as set up in your router.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You can quickly access
these by pressing the Info button and then use the Tuning/Select control as needed:
select '
select '
select '
' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue
' when the complete SSID has been entered
' to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen
7. Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your wireless
network. This should be the same as specified in your router settings. If your network does not use
encryption, then select the 'Open' option. Your sound system should then connect to the network, so
skip to step 11. If your network uses WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the 'Pre-Shared Key' option
then go to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see step 9.
8. If you chose 'Pre-Shared Key' in step 7, you should then choose the WEP option. The key should be
entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. The key will be 10 characters long for 64-bit
encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. The radio will accept lower-case letters a-f
as equivalent to upper-case A-F. Spaces or special symbols are not permitted in WEP keys.

Once the key is entered the sound system should connect to your network. Please skip to step 11.
9. WPA and WPA2 are similar, although WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Whichever you selected
in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As previously, the setting should match that used by your
router. Some routers allow both to be specified, and the router will use whichever variant is supported
by the connected device. AES is regarded as the more secure option if it is available.
10. The sound system will then require you to enter the encryption key. This must be a string of between
8 and 63 characters and must be identical to the key which has been entered into your router. Note
- the encryption key is sensitive to the use of upper and lower case letters and symbols. Take care to
enter the key exactly, or the radio will not be able to connect to your router.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You can quickly access
these by pressing the Info button and then use the Tuning/Select control as needed:
select '
select '
select '
' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue
' when the complete encryption key has been entered
' to cancel and go back to the TKIP / AES options screen
Once the key is entered the sound system should connect to the network.
11. While the sound system is trying to connect to the network, it will display 'Processing...' when checking
the encryption key (if using the WiFi connection) and then 'Connecting...'. If the connection is made
successfully, the sound system will return to the Network settings menu. If the unit cannot connect,
then it will display a 'Failed to connect' message and will return to the SSID entry screen (step 6).
Once connected, the network settings are stored in the sound system. The settings are retained when
the sound system is disconnected from the mains.
You may now use the Back and Mode buttons to access the functions of your sound system.

Internet Radio
Internet Radio - the basics
Before you can use your sound system to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it is necessary
to have connected it to your computer network using either the wireless (WiFi) connection
or the wired Ethernet connection (RJ-45 socket) located on the back of the unit. Please see
page 10 for details.
There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the Internet as well as
'Podcasts'. Your sound system provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to
make finding and choosing them easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like,
you may either store them as presets within the sound system, or add them to a list of your
favouritestationswhichyoursoundsystemcanaccess. Thenumberofpresetsislimited(there
are five preset buttons on the 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 station
and the country from which a station is broadcast this may be the easiest method to 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 choose from 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 sound system
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 STREAM 83i sound system 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. You can also search for stations which have been recently added to those available
(new stations) or you can search for the most popular.

If your radio cannot connect to a radio station
Note: If your sound system 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.
The broadcaster may limit listening to specific countries or regions
There may be network congestion (either locally or at a distance)
which is affecting the reliability of the connection.
If your sound system 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 radio
In addition to storing your favourite radio stations in the radio presets, your
sound system allows you to create customised lists of stations which can
appear in two special menus on the radio called 'My Favourites' and 'My
Added Stations'.
Your sound system uses a database which is accessed via the Internet
in order to find out which radio stations are available and how it should
connect to them. You are able to add your personal selections to this
database. These will only be accessible by you using your PC or your
sound system. You can choose the stations which will appear in the 'My
Favourites' menu 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. It will then
appear on your sound system via the 'My Added Stations' menu item.
Registering an account
Internet browser on your computer. Click on the ‘Register here’ link
and follow the on-screen instructions to register an account. During
the registration process the web site asks for an access code. This
allows it to uniquely identify your internet radio from the many others
that it also provides data for. To obtain the access code, please follow
these steps.
4. IntheHelpmenu,selectthemenuitem'Getaccesscode'.Providedthat
the sound system is connected to the Internet, a code will be displayed
of typically seven characters (upper case letters and numbers). Make
a note of this code for the next step. If you need to re-register later
you must repeat this process to get a fresh access code.
5. You should then use the code displayed by the sound system to
fill in the Access Code field on the web page when you set up your
account.
2. With your sound system switched on and in Internet radio mode, press
the Menu button, then select 'Station list' using the Tuning/Select
control.
Once you have your account set up, if you have other radios which use the
same database, you may also add them to your account. You will need to
get an access code from each radio in order to add it to the account. They
may then share your favourite and added radio station details.
3. Scroll down the Station list menu to the item called 'Help'. Press the
Tuning/Select control to enter the Help menu.

site. This allows you to add details of new stations or to modify those
already added. You can provide a name for the radio station which
will be shown on your radio. You must also provide the web address,
location and format details.
3. To help you organise your favourites, and since you may have a great
many after a while, the web site will allow you to specify the name
for a category or group under which the radio station will be listed on
your sound system. Suitable names might be 'Rock', 'Smooth', 'Mum's
stations', and so on. When ever you add another radio station to your

Music Player
Use with Windows, Apple Mac, Linux, USB memory
The Music Player allows you to play audio files which are stored on a
computer on your network or on a USB memory device plugged into the
sound system.
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'ontheMusicPlayer'smenu. Clearly
youshouldonlyselectthe'Music'option.Contentofferedviathealternative
options will not be playable on your sound system.
In order to play files from a computer on your network, your sound system
must connect to a file server application which uses the Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP) protocol. If your computer uses Windows XP or Vista,
then it is likely that your computer already has a UPnP server application
available. Windows Media Player version 11 has this capability, and it is
able to make your MP3 and WMA files available to your sound system. It
also allows you to select files by Album, Artist, and so on.
Some third party server applications allow customisation of the search
criteria and indexing methods. This can be useful if you have a very large
collection of stored music files.
Here is a short selection of alternative UPnP server applications, although
many others are available:
Windows Media Player is only able to serve MP3 and WMA files to your
sound system. If you have your audio files in eitherAAC or FLAC formats,
or if you are an Apple Mac or Linux user, there are other UPnP server
applications which you may use with your sound system.
Twonky Media Server (Windows, Apple Mac, Linux)
TVersity (Windows) *
The Music Player on the sound system can playback audio files in MP3,
FLAC, AAC and WMA formats. WMA Lossless files can also be played
when using Windows Media Player 11 as it will convert these to a PCM
format before streaming them to the sound system. Note that the playback
of files encoded using WMAVoice, WMA 10 Professional, and files which
have DRM protection is not supported.

server applications also allow you to access your files according to the
folders within which they are stored as well as other criteria. Windows
Media Player 11 is less flexible than some other UPnP servers, but
is generally easy to set up. It is supplied as a standard component of
Windows XP and Vista.

Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server
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 sound system. There are other UPnP server solutions
available for non-Windows users and for Windows users who may wish
to use an alternative (see the preceding page).
Selecting Media Sharing in Windows Media Player 11
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 here
since that will be the first choice for the majority of users.
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 the 'Library' tab, then 'Add to Library… > Advanced
Options', click 'Add', choose the files you wish to add and click ‘OK’.

Locating and playing media files using UPnP
Once the UPnP server has been configured to share media files with your
sound system, you may select the files that you wish to play as follows:-
1. Press the On/Off button to switch on the unit. Press the Mode button
as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown. The main
Music Player menu will then be displayed.
1
2. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Shared media' is highlighted
on the display and then press the control to cause the sound system
to scan for UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few seconds for
the sound system to complete its scan. The display will return to the
Music Player menu if no UPnP servers are found.
1
3. After a successful scan, rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight
your UPnP server and then press the Tuning/Select control. If the
display shows multiple media types, select 'Music'. (Some UPnP
servers can serve pictures and video content to suitable devices.)
4. The sound system will now list the media categories which are made
availablebytheUPnPserver-forexample,'Album','Artist'and'Genre'.
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight which category you wish
to browse, then press the control to confirm your choice.
2-4
If you wish to use the search function rotate the Tuning/Select control
until 'Search' is selected on the display. You may select characters to
build a keyword for searching for content to play.
When you first set up sharing with a UPnP server, not all of your files will
be available immediately. The UPnP server must look inside each file to
identify the artist and album information from 'tags' embedded in them.
The server may also need 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. For a library of many files this can take
some time.

Using USB memory devices
This section describes how to use your sound system to access and
playback your audio files via USB memory devices.
USB memory devices plug into the rectangular slot on the front of the
sound system on the right hand side.
Important: Your sound system is only designed to work with USB flash
memory devices. It is not intended to be connected to hard disk drives or
any other type of USB device.
It is possible to use SD or SDHC cards for media storage and playback
when held in a suitable USB adaptor. However, due to the wide variation
of such adaptors, it is not possible to guarantee that all adaptor / card
combinations will work in the sound system.
1
TheStream83isoundsystemhasbeentestedwitharangeofUSBmemory
devices of up to 16GB capacity. USB memory must use the FAT or FAT 32
filing system in order to operate with the sound system.
Audio formats supported are MP3, WMA, AAC and FLAC. USB playback
doesnotsupportfilesencodedusingWMALossless,WMAVoice,WMA 10
Professional, nor files which have DRM protection.
Recommendations:
Cautions:
Unless you have only a few files on the USB memory device, do not
place all files in the root folder.
In order to minimise the risk of damage to your sound system or your
USB memory, please place the unit such that the memory device
cannot easily be knocked while it is inserted in the socket.
The number of items (files/sub directories) in any directory should be
less than 2000.
Remove the USB memory before carrying the unit or if not using the
USB feature for a prolonged period.
Searching and playback will be more responsive if the number of files
in any one folder is limited (we suggest not more than 250).
Place the unit in Standby mode before removing your USB memory
device.
ItisrecommendedthattheUSBmemoryisreformattedinyourcomputer
before adding your music files.
The maximum depth of folder nesting permitted is 8 directory levels
(but playback is only from the currently selected folder).

Last.fm - the basics
Usingtwodedicatedbuttonsonthesoundsystem, youcantellLast.fmthat
you love particular tracks, or you can ban a track from ever being played
again. This also influences the tracks you are offered in the future.
Last.fm is an Internet-based on-line music service with millions of tracks
available which you can access using your sound system, your computer
andotherdevices. Itplayspersonalisedinteractiveradiostationsbasedon
your choice of artists and songs, your listening history, and similar tracks
based on the preferences of other Last.fm listeners with similar music
tastes. This can introduce you to a new range of artists and tracks which
you will probably enjoy but which you may never have heard before.
User accounts
In order to use the Last.fm service with your sound system, you must either
create a Last.fm account or already have one set up. This account keeps
track of your musical preferences and listening choices and is what makes
the music offered by Last.fm personal to you. Setting up an account is
simple and is done via the Last.fm web site. You then enter the account
details into your sound system (see the following pages).
Before you can use Last.fm with your sound system, you will need to have
created an account at the Last.fm web site. You can then start to listen to
radio stations initially based on particular artists or tags/genres.
Last.fm is available on various platforms and computer media players.
Any personalisations that you make to your account from one platform
are reflected on the others.
The sound system allows more than one set of Last.fm account details to
be entered. If the unit is used by more than one person, it is possible to
choose which account is used when listening to Last.fm and for scrobbling
from the Music Player.
Last.fm has a strong emphasis on interaction with other listeners, sharing
your favourite music and exploring other users’playlists and stations, both
directly,andthroughsocialnetworkingsites.Therearealsoprivacyoptions
that you can apply to your account using the Last.fm web site.
The features of the Last.fm service are only available on the sound system
with a subscription to Last.fm. This may differ from the range of features
available when accessing the Last.fm service from a computer or any
other device. The provision of the Last.fm service and the features offered
with and without subscription are subject to terms and conditions set out
on the Last.fm web site.
Scrobbling and Love / Ban features
Scrobbling is the method that Last.fm uses to learn about your listening
habits. Your sound system can ‘scrobble’ the tracks that you listened to
using the UPnP Music Player and Last.fm modes. This sends track names
to Last.fm, adding them to your Last.fm library, and helps the service to
tailor its future recommendations to your musical tastes.

Listening to Last.fm
Last.fm can present music tracks according to several criteria. You may choose from the
following options:
'Your Library' - Plays all tracks scrobbled to your profile, or tracks by artists you’ve added
to your library. This information can be edited on the Last.fm web site.
'Your Recommendations' - Plays tracks recommended to you based on your music profile
and that of other listeners with similar tastes.
'Your Loved Tracks' - Plays tracks selected from those that you have previously rated as
‘Loved’, either when listening with your computer, or with the Love button on the sound
system.
'Your Neighbourhood' - Plays tracks from the libraries of people on Last.fm with similar
music taste to yours.
'Artist Radio' - Plays a selection of tracks by a specified artist and other similar artists.
You choose an artist by entering their name or part of their name and then choose from
the search results.
'Tag Radio' - Plays a selection of tracks tagged with certain keywords. You pick an tag
word or genre by entering a word or phrase and then choose from the search results.
Note that it is advisable to be as exact as possible when entering tags or genres. For
example, enter BOLLYWOOD rather than BOLLY. Tags are user-generated and fed to
Last.fm via the scrobbling process, so there can sometimes be spurious tags connected
to only a few tracks, which may give an Insufficient Content error when searching.
'History' - This option lists the last tracks you have listened to, most recent tracks first.
Note that this is a display-only option - you cannot select a track from the list and listen
to it again on demand.

Software update
Fromtimetotime, newsoftwarefeaturesforyourradiomaybedeveloped. Yoursoundsystemhastherefore
been designed to allow its internal software to be updated using your Internet connection.
You should not attempt to update your 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 sound system.
It is important that you do not attempt this procedure unless you have a good Internet connection and a
reliable mains power supply. If 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 'System settings' menu. When you select 'Software

Troubleshooting
If you experience any trouble with your sound system, then you may find
it useful to visit the help section on our web site at
You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu items ‘Main
Menu' -> 'System settings' -> 'Network' -> 'View settings' -> 'MAC
address'.
The MAC address will typically be of the form
If you have difficulty connecting the radio to your computer network, some
of these steps may help to resolve the problem:
00:22:61:xx:xx:xx
1. Confirm that a WiFi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can
browse the web) using the same network.
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.
2. Check that a DHCP server is available (normally a router function).
Your radio will by default use DHCP unless you choose to disable it.
This may be configured using the menu items ‘Main Menu' -> 'System
settings'->'Network'->'Manualsettings'.Thiswillaskfirstwhetheryou
wish to configure a wired or a wireless connection. For either wired or
wireless you then need to choose 'DHCP enable' or 'DHCP disable'.
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.
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 Menu' -> 'System settings' -> 'Network' -> 'Manual
settings' -> 'Wired' or 'Wireless' (as needed) -> 'DHCP disable'.
The radio will then prompt you in turn for the
Ethernet IP address
Ethernet Subnet mask
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 and
123. Port 53 may be required for DNS. Some Internet radio services
may require additional ports to be open. 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 configuration for UPnP or to allow particular IP
addresses to have trusted access.
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 16 for full details on how to set up your radio's network
configuration manually.
4. Checkthatyouraccesspointdoesnotrestrictconnectionstoparticular
MAC addresses (sometimes called MAC address filtering).

Troubleshooting - cont.
If your sound system can connect to the network, but is unable to play a
particular internet radio station, it may be due to one these causes:
IfyoucannotplaythestationviayourPCthismayindicatethattheproblem
is not necessarily due to your radio, but it could be your network, your
internet connection, the broadcaster, or internet congestion.
1. The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day.
Music Player / UPnP problems
2. Thestationhasreacheditsmaximumallowednumberofsimultaneous
connections.
The use of the Music Player function with UPnPshould be straightforward.
However, the cleverness of UPnPmeans that it is often disabled by default
by security applications and in routers.
3. The Internet connection between your radio and the server (often
located in a different country) is slow. This could be due to internet
congestion, either locally or at a distance.
If you are using Windows Media Player as your UPnP server, and if it fails
to operate with your sound system, please keep this fact in mind: A fresh
installationofWindowsandWindowsMediaPlayerwhenusingMicrosoft's
built-in firewall software will normally work.
4. Thestationmaychoosetoblockinternetconnectionstoyourgeographic
region (sometimes known as geo-locking).
5. The station is no longer broadcasting. The database of radio stations
that your radio connects to is frequently updated and checked but
may not always be completely accurate.
If it does not work, possible reasons may include:
UPnP functions blocked in firewall software
UPnP functions turned off by security software
UPnP functions 'hi-jacked' by other software
UPnP functions blocked in the router
6. The radio station is broadcasting using an audio format which is not
playable by your radio (although the Stream 83i does play the most
popular formats used by regular broadcasters).
Multi-cast packets blocked in the router
IP address of system blocked in firewall software
Try using a PC to listen via the broadcaster’s web site or via the radio
can play the station with a PC, it may be that the internet feed or local
networkconnectionispoor.However,somebroadcasters(suchastheBBC)
provide different data streams for PC users and internet radio listeners,
so this test is not always conclusive.
Some third-party UPnP servers are much less dependent upon other
parts of Windows than WMP 11. If the greater flexibility that these offer
is attractive, then it may be found in some cases that they are easier to
get working.
