If there is no networking cable plugged into the set at the first
setup, you will be asked whether you want to use wired
(Ethernet) or wireless (WiFi) operation. Choose Wireless.
For any further connection, the set will start up in the operation
mode last used. This setting can be changed at any later point in
time in the ‘SET OPTIONS’ menu under ‘SELECT NETWORK’.
The Streamium MC-i250’s network settings are by default set to
‘DHCP’ (dynamic IP addressing) and ‘NO PROXY’. When your
router is configured as a DHCP server and your ISP does not use
a proxy, the set should automatically establish a connection to the
Internet.
You will be asked to choose between ‘Infrastructure’ or ‘Ad-hoc’
operation mode. If you want to use a wireless access point
(Infrastructure mode - recommended), select accordingly. If you
select “NO”, MC-i250 will try to establish a direct connection to a
wireless network adapter (Ad-hoc mode).
For Static IP addressing, enter the following information:

You will be asked to enter the network name (ESSID). Enter this
case-sensitive name, using the remote control.

_ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _
You will be asked to select the network channel number. If you
use an access point (infrastructure mode), choose the used
channel or type in “0” for automatic detection. This process will
take a short while. If you do not use a wireless access point
(Ad-hoc mode), use the soft keys to select the used channel.
DNS 2
Example: to enter the IP address 164.23.5.114, use the
remote control to key in :

You can choose to use WEP encryption. If you choose ‘YES’,
you will be asked to enter up to four encryption keys.The first key
will be used as the outgoing key.The outgoing key can be defined
at any later point in time in the ‘SET OPTIONS’ menu under
‘ENCRYPT CONFIG’.
164.023.005.114
If your ISP uses a proxy server, you will have to enter the
proxy name and proxy port.

Notes:
–
You can use ASCII or HEX encryption keys, but all have to be
the same length.
When the wireless connection is established, you still might
have to configure the network settings (please see network
settings of wired operation).
As soon as you are asked to enter your email address on the
screen, your set has successfully established a connection to the
Internet. To activate the online features of MC-i250, you

General Information
This system complies with the FCC rules,
Part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
Safety information
G Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate
(or the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) of your system is identical with the
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer.
–
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
This device must accept any interference
–
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
G Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
G Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.
Environmental information
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.
We have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
G Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
G If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens of the disc
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD
player will not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.
G When the system is switched to Standby
mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.

After a short moment you will receive an e-mail
at the entered address. Create your account with
“http://My.Philips.com” and activate music
services by following the instructions received in
that e-mail.
After the Internet connection of a PC in the
home network has proven to be working,

and ‘NO PROXY’. When your router is
configured as a DHCP server and your ISP does
not use a proxy, the set should automatically
establish a connection to the Internet.
– Press OK (2) to confirm your entry. Your
registration confirmation details will be e-mailed
to you.
– Registration is only available for the default
user.
If your home network uses static IP addressing,
you will have to set a static IP address, network
mask, default gateway and two DNS servers.
This information can be obtained from your ISP.
Also, if your ISP uses a proxy server, you will have
to enter the proxy name and proxy port.
Information you might need for setup
(can be requested from your ISP):
G Does the network use static or dynamic
(DHCP) IP addressing?
G In DHCP, an IP address is automatically
assigned to the set. In static IP mode, the
information mentioned above has to be entered
using the remote control.
G Does the ISP use a proxy?
G If yes, what is the proxy name and proxy port?
G Does the ISP only allow registered devices to
use DHCP?
G If yes, you might have to tell the ISP the set’s
MAC address (can be found in ‘SET OPTIONS’
under ‘NETWORK INFO’).
