Before you can use this product
Before you can use your internet radio, you must have the following:
A broadband Internet connection (not required for DAB, FM or Music
Player functions).
A wireless access point (WiFi) or a wired Ethernet connection connected
to your broadband Internet Service Provider, preferably via a router.
In many cases the broadband modem, router and wireless access
point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service
Provider or bought from a computer store.
If your wireless network is con gured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) data encryption then you
either need to know the WEP, WPA or WPA2 key used for encryption
so you can get the internet radio to communicate with the network,
or your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
If connecting using WiFi, the interent radio will typically work within a 10-20
metre radius from your wireless access point. The actual range achieved will
depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless networks, and possible
interference sources. DAB and FM radio functions can operate wherever
the internet radio is able to receive a suitable broadcast signal.
IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access
point or router is powered up and working with your broadband Internet
service (use your computer to verify this). To get this part of the system
working you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access
point or router.

Using the touch panel
The Stream 64i has a stylish touch panel instead of conventional buttons.
To operate the buttons simply touch the button area with the tip of a nger
for about half a second. The clock set and system menu functions marked
with a dot ( ) are accessed by means of a long touch (2-3 seconds) on the
appropriate button until the display on the radio shows that the command
has been accepted.
You may nd at rst that the radio does not always detect that you have
touched a button. If so, try touching with a little more pressure, or for slightly
longer. You will soon nd the optimum touch needed to control your radio.
(See also Touch Panel Sensitivity Control on page 96.)
The panel may be cleaned using a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives,
cleaning uids or solvents.
Remote control functions
Most of the functions of the Stream 64i radio can be controlled using either
the touch panel or the remote control. However, there are a few functions
which are only accessible using the remote control. These are:
Radio station presets DAB / FM auto-tune
CD track access by numbers CD / iPod random function
Audio mute
As with the front panel, some operations require a longer operation of the
button (explained in the relevant sections). In this case simply keep your
nger held on the remote control button for 2-3 seconds until the display
on the radio shows that the command has been accepted.
Navigation controls
This page describes the basic means of controlling your Stream 64i internet radio.
Instructions for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.
1. Pressing the On/Standby button brings your radio out of Standby mode.
Pressing On/Standby while the radio is in use will cause it to return to the Standby
mode with the clock display.
2. Pressing the Radio button gives you access to each of the operating modes in
turn: Internet Radio, DAB radio, FM radio and Auxiliary Input.
3. Pressing the Media button gives you access to each of the operating modes in

4. Pressing and holding the button will access the menu system. The Info/Menu
info button also allows the display of information relating to the radio station or
music le being played.
5. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. Highlight
the menu item using the Menu Up or Down buttons. Press the Select button
to select that item. If there are more than ve 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 radio 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.
6. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back
to a higher level menu by pressing the button. Back

possible cause of the problem.
Yellow ON = Link established; OFF = no connection
Yellow Flashing = Data transfer
Green ON = 100 Mbits/sec link; OFF = 10 Mbits/sec link
If your network does not support automatic con guration or if you wish to set
it up manually then you should select '[Manual con g]' instead of selecting
'[Wired]' in the Network Wizard, then see page 19.
11. If you plan to use a WiFi connection, you will rst 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 radio nds 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: or . If the router supports 'Jones family' 'Paul's network'
WiFi Protected Setup, then will be shown in front of the SSID.'[WPS]'
It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will nd more
than one wireless network, in which case you should choose which one you
need to connect to.
12. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to see the SSID for each wireless
network that has been found. If your network is shown proceed to step 14 on

13. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is con gured not to broadcast the SSID. You
should then use the buttons to highlight and select the Menu Up or Down and Select '[Manual con g]'
option in order to enter the network details manually. This is described in 'Manual Network Con guration',
see page 19.
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 radio 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 . button 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 identi cation number).
'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router and then the Select
button on the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to
the radio.
'PIN' - the display shows an identi cation number which you must enter into your router using a web
browser (refer to your router's user documentation). You should then press the Select button on the radio.
The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio.
- if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously entered).'Skip WPS'
If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show and then 'Connecting...' 'Setup wizard completed'.
Press the button to exit setup wizard and then go to paragraph 18 on the next page.Select
15. If your network is con gured without an encryption key, the screen should say , and then 'Connecting...'
'Setup wizard completed'. Press the button to exit the setup wizard and show the main menu. If this Select
is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please go to paragraph
18 on the next page.
16. If the screen displays , it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired 'Key:'
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). You will need to enter the correct WEP or
WPA key into the radio 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.
17
Connecting to your computer network - cont.
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 radio accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.
17. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the
Menu Up Down, Left Right or or (on the remote control) and Select buttons. 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
Select button.
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 or the radio will not exactly
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 button and then use the Info Up
or and buttons as needed: Down Select
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear)
select ' ' when the complete key has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and re-run the Network Wizard
If a WEP or WPA key has previously been entered for the selected SSID then
the display will show . If you have previously entered a different key, 'Key: [Set]'
you must clear this by selecting the ' ' symbol. This will remove the '[Set]'
indication.
After the nal character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, highlight the '
' symbol and press the Select button. The screen will show 'Connecting...' and
then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Select button to the exit setup wizard.
The radio should now be able to connect to the network.
18. Once you have connected your radio to the network (and therefore also to the
Internet) it will display the main menu. Press the to put the On/Standby button
radio in Standby 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 85, 'Manually setting the clock'.

If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your radio 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 22 onwards.
Changing the network connection
In the sections above, you chose how your radio would be connected to your network, either using a WiFi
connection or using a wired Ethernet cable. From time to time, you may nd 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 con gure the network parameters.
The steps outlined below describe how you can do this - see also the section 'Network pro les' on page 102.
If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 22.
Con guring the radio to use an alternative WiFi connection
1. From the Network settings menu select . This will present you with details of any WiFi 'Network wizard'
networks that are found. Scroll down the list using the buttons to the desired network Menu Up or Down
name. Press the button to select this network. Select
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 16-17). By default the radio
will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.
Con guring the radio to use the wired Ethernet connection
2. Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ-45 socket (marked LAN)
at the back of the unit. From the Network settings menu select . This will present you 'Network wizard'
with details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list to the '[Wired]' option using the
Menu Up Down Select or buttons. Press the button to select this.
The radio 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.
19
Manual network con guration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic con guration, or if your network is con gured with a hidden
SSID, then you will need to enter some network settings manually. (Note - a hidden SSID may prevent casual
observers from detecting your network, but it is not recommended as a means of network security.)
1. From the radios Network settings menu, select 'Manual settings'. You must then choose whether to
connect using or connections. If you choose there are as many as nine 'Wired' 'Wireless' 'Wireless'
settings screens, shown by the progress marker in the top right corner of the display. If you '1 of 9'
choose 'Wired' there are ve screens and the progress marker will re ect 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 con gure 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 and then 'Wired' 'DHCP enable', your radio should now establish a connection to
the router using the Ethernet cable. Please skip to step 11 on page 21.
If you chose and 'Wireless' 'DHCP enable', please skip to step 6 on page 20 in order to set up the
wireless connection details.
If you chose for either connection method, the next step is to set up the IP address.'DHCP disable'
3. The manually speci ed 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 con gured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside the range that
the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the rst three groups of digits will be the same for all
devices on your network. To enter the IP address, press the buttons to set the Menu Up or Down
value for each group of digits and then press the button or the or buttons (on the Select Left Right
remote 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 de nes 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 IP address of the router through which the radio 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, press the buttons to set the value for each group of digits Menu Up or Down
and then press the Select button or the or buttons (on the remote control) to enter the value Left Right
and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all eight groups of digits have been entered.
If you previously speci ed 'Wired' and then , your radio should now connect to the router 'DHCP disable'
using the Ethernet cable (in which case skip to step 11).
6. If you speci ed '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 Menu Up or Down, Left or Right
(on the remote control) buttons. The radio scrolls through the available characters as well Select and
as the three controls on the right. The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press
the button. Select
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 button and then use the or and buttons as needed:Info Menu Up Down Select
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); again to continueInfo
select ' ' when the complete SSID has been entered
select ' ' 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 speci ed in your router settings. If your network does not use encryption,
then select the option. Your radio should then connect to the network, so skip to step 11. If your 'Open'
network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the option then go to step 8. 'Pre-Shared Key'
The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see step 9.
8. If you chose in step 7, you should then choose the WEP option. The key should be 'Pre-Shared Key'
entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters . The key will be 10 characters long for 64-bit A-F
encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. The radio will accept lower-case letters a-f as
equivalent to upper-case . Spaces or special symbols are not permitted in WEP keys.A-F

needed:
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); again to continueInfo
select ' ' when the complete encryption key has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and go back to the SSID settings screen
Once the key is entered the radio 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 speci ed, 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 radio 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 buttons as Info button and then use the Menu Up or and Down Select
needed:
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); again to continueInfo
select ' ' when the complete encryption key has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and go back to the TKIP / AES options screen
Once the key is entered the radio should connect to the network.
11. While the radio is trying to connect to the network, it will display when checking the 'Processing...'
encryption key (if using the WiFi connection) and then . If the connection is made 'Connecting...'
successfully, the radio will return to the Network settings menu. If the unit cannot connect, then it will
display a message and will return to the SSID entry screen (step 6).'Failed to connect'
Once connected, the network settings are stored in the radio. The settings are retained when the radio
is disconnected from the mains.

Internet Radio - the basics
Before you can use your radio 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
13 for details.
There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the Internet as well as
'Podcasts'. Your radio provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to make
nding and choosing them easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you may
either store them as presets within the radio, or add them to a list of your favourite stations
which your radio can access. The number of presets is limited (there are ten presets 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 nd 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 radio and
it will search for stations that match that name. This can be helpful if you are unsure of the
location or genre of a particular station.
The Stream 64i radio connects to a radio station database which serves many users in many
countries. This means that there is a very wide range of programme content available. You
can also search for stations which have been recently added to those available (new stations)
or you can search for the most popular.

reasons, but typically will be due to one of the following:
The radio station may not be broadcasting at the present time.
The radio station may not be able to accommodate any more connections
from internet listeners.
The broadcaster may limit listening to speci c countries or regions
There may be network congestion (either locally or at a distance)
which is affecting the reliability of the connection.
If your radio can connect, but the audio is not continuous and the radio
keeps having to reconnect, this may be due to the radio station only having
limited connection capacity.

Customising your radio
In addition to storing your favourite radio stations in the radio presets,
your radio 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 radio uses a database which is accessed via the Internet in order
to nd 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 radio. You can
choose the stations which will appear in the ' menu from My Favourites'
the large selection already listed. Additionally, if you nd 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 radio
via the menu item.'My Added Stations'

Music Player
Music Player
Use with Windows, Apple Mac and Linux
The Music Player allows you to play audio les which are stored on a
computer on your network.
In order to play les from a computer on your network, your radio must
connect to a le server application which uses the Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) protocol. If your computer uses Windows 7, Vista or XP, then it is
likely that your computer already has a UPnP server application available.
Windows Media Player (versions 11 and 12) has this capability, and it is
able to make your les available to your radio. It also allows you to select
les by Album, Artist, and so on.
Windows Media Player 12 can serve MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV les to
your radio. Windows Media Player 11 is only able to serve MP3 and WMA
les to your radio. If you have your audio les stored in the FLAC format,
or if you are an Apple Mac or Linux user, there are other UPnP server
applications which you may use with your radio.
The Music Player on the radio can playback audio les in MP3, WMA,
AAC, FLAC and WAV formats. WMA Lossless les can also be played
when using Windows Media Player as it will convert these to a compatible
format before streaming them to the radio. Note that the playback of les
encoded using WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional, and for les which have
DRM protection is not supported.
When using a UPnP server, the search and selection criteria are determined
by the server software, but typically include Artist, Album and Genre. Many
server applications also allow you to access your les according to the
folders within which they are stored as well as other criteria.
Windows Media Player is less exible than some other UPnP servers,
but is generally easier to set up. It is supplied as a standard component
of Windows 7, Vista or XP.
Many UPnP server applications are also capable of sharing pictures and
video les to other network connected devices. If this is the case (as it is
with Windows Media Player 11 and 12) you may see the option of choosing
between 'Music', 'Video' and 'Pictures' on the Music Player's menu. You
should only select the 'Music' option. Content offered via the alternative
options will not be playable on your radio.
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 les.
Here is a short selection of alternative UPnP server applications, although
many others are available:
Twonky Media Server (Windows, Apple Mac, Linux)
TVersity (Windows) *
Elgato EyeConnect (for Apple Mac OS X) *
MediaTomb (Linux, MAC OS X) *
* = free of charge versions available at the time of writing
Please refer to the documentation for your chosen server application for
full details of its con guration and usage.

Accessing your audio les via a UPnP server
If your computer is running Windows 7, then Windows Media Player
version 12 includes a UPnP server which will make your les available to
your radio. If you have Windows Vista or XP please see page 106. 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).
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 rst choice for the majority of users.
Set up UPnP access with Windows Media Player 12
1. Windows Media Player 12 (referred to here as WMP 12) can create a
library from all the media les available to it on your PC. To add new
media les to the library, select 'Library', then 'Music', then 'All music'
or etc 'Artist', 'Album' . This will show you the current library contents.
You may then simply drag and drop les from other locations into the
library. Alternatively, with media les or folders on the screen, you may
right-click on the le or folder and select and then 'Include in library'
select 'Music'. In this way you can quickly add additional content to
your music library.
2. In WMP 12 , click on 'Stream' (see picture at right) and then select
'Automatically allow devices to play my media'. Then accept the
'Automatically allow all computer and media devices' option. There
are other options (see overleaf) but this is the simplest if you just wish
to quickly enable media streaming to your radio.
3. Press the On/Standby button to switch the unit on. Then press the
Media button as needed until the mode display is shown. Music Player
The main menu will then be displayed.'Music Player'

Allowing a device to connect to Windows Media Player 12
Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC - cont.
4. Press the Menu Up Down or buttons until 'Shared media' is highlighted
and press the button to select. The radio will scan for all available Select
UPnP servers. It may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its
scan. The radio will display if no UPnP servers are found.'<Empty>'
5. After scanning, select your UPnP server using the Menu Up or Down
and Select buttons. If you allowed automatic connection previously,
your radio should now connect and you may skip to the next page. If
you did not permit automatic connections, your radio will then normally
display ' at this stage.'Unauthorised
6. Your PC may prompt you that there has been a connection to your
UPnP server. Whether prompted or not, in order that the radio may
access the music les, you will need to click the tab in WMP 12 'Library'
and select the item to open the window. 'Stream...' 'Media Streaming'
Select 'Automatically allow devices to play my media' then select
'Automatically allow all computer and media devices'.
Alternatively select 'More Streaming options' to enable sharing on a
'per device' basis.
7. In the 'More streaming options' window, the radio will be listed as a
blocked device. Click on the button shown to select 'Allowed'.
Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows' rewall software, this should
be correctly con gured by WMP 12. If you are using third party rewall
software you may need to manually con gure it to allow your unit
and WMP 12 to communicate (see the 'Troubleshooting' section on
page 104).
8. On the radio, select the again using the named server Menu Up or
Down and Select buttons. If WMP 12 is now able to communicate with
your radio you will be presented with some media selection options
on the display.

Locating and playing media les using UPnP
Once the UPnP server has been con gured to share media les with your
radio, you may select the les that you wish to play as follows:-
1. Press the On/Standby button to switch on the unit. Press the Media
button as needed until the mode display is shown. The Music Player
main Music Player menu will then be displayed.
2. Press the Menu Up Down or buttons until is highlighted 'Shared media'
on the display and then press the Select button to cause the radio to
scan for UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few seconds for the
radio to complete its scan. The display will return to the Music Player
menu if no UPnP servers are found.
3. After a successful scan, press the buttons to Menu Up or Down
highlight your UPnP server and then press the button. If the Select
display shows multiple media types, select 'Music'. (Some UPnP
servers can serve pictures and video content to suitable devices.)
4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available
by the UPnP server - for example, 'Album', 'Artist' 'Genre' and . Press
the orMenu Up Down buttons to highlight which category you wish
to browse, then press the button to conSelect rm your choice.
If you wish to use the search function press the Menu Up or Down
buttons until 'Search' is selected on the display. You may select
characters to build a keyword for searching for content to play.
When you rst set up sharing with a UPnP server, not all of your les will
be available immediately. The UPnP server must look inside each le 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 les this can take
some time.

Media selection
When searching via UPnP you will have a selection of search criteria as
determined by the UPnP server software on your computer. This allows
you to search by a given information type (Album, Artist, Genre, etc.) and
then to narrow the search to an album or to a particular track within an
album.
Some UPnP server applications allow the search options to be customised.
The searches described here are just examples of the possibilities.
Listening to a complete album
1. Use the Menu Up or Down buttons to choose content by Artist, Album,
Genre, etc. according to your needs then press the Select button to
enter your choice.
2. When you reach the album or folder the menu will then switch to
showing the tracks in that album or folder. When searching by UPnP
they will normally be listed in track number order (but as with the search
criteria, this can vary according to the server application used).
3. With the rst track in the album indicated, press the Select button.
The album will then begin playing.
While the radio is playing from your media library, you may use the menus
as described above to choose a different selection. When you select the
track from which to play, the radio will then immediately begin playing the
new selection.
Please see also 'Playlists' on page 44.
