Please check whether your Internet service provider charges extra fees for exceeding a  
certain limit of transferred data. When using Internet media services on a daily basis, you  
may exceed such a limit.  
During set-up and installation, it may be helpful to have the instructions for your audio  
system, wireless base station or other wireless network components at hand.  
Safety Precautions  
NEVER MAKE OR CHANGE CONNECTIONS WITH THE POWER OF YOUR  
AUDIO SYSTEM SWITCHED ON OR YOUR SLA5500 CONNECTED TO THE  
MAINS.  
Before operating the SLA5500, check that the operating voltage indicated on the  
nameplate of your SLA5500 is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.  
If not, please consult your dealer.  
Radio equipment for wireless applications is not protected against disturbance from  
other radio services.  
The SLA5500 should not be exposed to dripping or splashing.  
No object filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.  
Do not expose the SLA5500 to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by  
heating equipment or direct sunlight.  
Allow a sufficient amount of free space all around your SLA5500 for adequate  
ventilation.  
Do not open this product. Contact your Philips retailer if you experience technical  
difficulties.  
Place the SLA5500 on a flat, hard and stable surface.  
When the SLA5500 is switched to standby mode, it is still consuming some power.  
To disconnect the SLA5500 from the power supply completely, remove the AC power  
plug from the wall socket.  
Make sure the air around your SLA5500 can circulate to prevent your SLA5500 from  
overheating internally. Also, avoid putting any heat sources (e.g. a power amplifier)  
underneath.  
To prevent your SLA5500 from overheating internally, never place anything on top of it.

Listen to music files (for example WMA, MP3, WAV) over your audio system  
The instructions in this User Manual assume that you already have a wireless network  
up and running. The installation of your wireless network is device-dependent and  
thus outside the scope of this document. Please refer to your wireless network  
device  
documentation for more details.  
To be fully functional your SLA5500 requires the installation of:  
the Philips Media Manager software on your PC  
Philips Media Manager allows you to create a library of music files on your PC.  
Music files include MP3 and WMA formats. It also provides a UPnP Media Server  
which enables your SLA5500 to browse these files on the PC.  
the Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility on your PC  
This software allows you to configure your Wireless Music Receiver network profiles.  
Normally, you will only need to use this utility if:  
• you want to configure a network profile from a PC instead of from the SLA5500  
itself, or  
• you want to upload new software for your Wireless Music Receiver  
Installing Philips Media Manager  
Place the Philips Media Manager CD in your CD or DVD drive and install the Philips  
Media Manager software.  
The CD starts automatically. If it does not, double-click ‘My Computer’,  
then the CD-ROM drive icon and finally ‘Setup.exe’ to start the CD.  
In the menu that appears on your computer screen, click ‘Install Philips Media  
Manager’, and follow the on-screen instructions.  
When opening the Philips Media Manager for the first time, you will be asked if you  
want to add a folder and scan for audio files. Open a drive or a folder with audio files  
in it. (For example: the My Documents folder, if you have stored audio files there.)  
You can always add more files and folders later.

MAC Address Control on the Wireless Network  
If you are using MAC Address Control on your wireless network, you will need to  
know the MAC address of your Wireless Music Receiver. The MAC address is a  
unique number that identifies your device on the network. It consists of a series of  
numbers and letters in the following format: xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx  
The MAC address for your Wireless Music Receiver is printed on the bottom of the  
device. It can also be displayed on the LCD screen. See ‘Viewing Network Status  
Settings’.  
You must change your wireless network settings to exclude the Wireless Music  
Receiver’s MAC address from filtering. Please refer to your wireless network’s  
documentation for details on how to do this.  
Enabling Internet Connection Sharing on Your PC  
If your connection to the Internet is made available via a single PC, that PC must

This will give you access to the options for sharing your Internet Connection.  
Next:  
a) In the ‘Internet Connection Sharing’ section: Place a check mark to allow other  
users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection.  
b) Remove the check mark that allows other network users to control or disable  
the shared Internet connection.

Click OK (16). The following message appears:  
‘When Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, your LAN adapter will be set to use  
IP address 192.168.0.1. Your computer may lose connectivity with other computers on  
your network. If these other computers have static IP addresses, you should set them  
to obtain their IP addresses automatically. Are you sure you want to enable Internet  
Connection Sharing?‘

Click Yes.  
The connection to the Internet is shared with other computers on the local area  
network (LAN). The network adapter that is connected to the LAN is configured with a  
static IP address of 192.168.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Possible Cause  
Solution  
Date/time is not displayed when the  
SLA5500 is switched on.  
Power unavailable.  
Check that the SLA5500 power cable is properly connected and that the power is  
switched on.  
SLA5500 is not known to the network.  
Check that the MAC address for the SLA5500 has been entered correctly in the  
wireless network’s MAC Access Control. Turn off the Wireless Music Receiver  
and turn it on again.  
Internet unavailable.  
Check that the Internet base station has an active connection to the Internet.  
Wireless network incorrectly configured.  
Open the SLA5500 Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility and select the Wireless  
Music Link that has the problem. Click the ‘Profiles’ button and check that the  
active profile is correctly configured for your network. Turn on the SLA5500 and  
ensure that the correct profile has been selected under Network Profiles.  
The SLA5500 does not react to  
remote commands and hangs in the  
UPnP Menu structure.  
This can be caused by network delays when sending out UPnP requests.  
Make sure the SLA5500 is connected to the power supply and that the batteries  
in the remote control are fresh and inserted correctly.  
Wait a few seconds and try again. If the problem persists, turn off the Wireless  
Music Link and turn it on again.  
Unable to browse music files.  
No music files in the Media Manager Music Library.  
Follow the instructions under ‘Installing Philips Media Manager’ to add files to the  
MusicLibrary.  
Media Manager is not running.  
Start the Philips Media Manager server by clicking the Media Manager icon in right  
side of the Windows task bar on your computer.  
Unable to play music file  
File has been moved or deleted but link is still in Philips Media Manager library.  
The Philips Media Manager library stores a link to a music file, not the file itself. If  
you move or delete the music file and do not delete it or reselect it in the Philips  
Media Manager Library, the SLA5500 will be unable to locate the file. Open Philips  
Media Manager and delete and/or add the track from the correct file location.  
File permissions on music file are incorrect.  
Check that you have read access to the music file on the computer where it is  
stored. If this is on a computer other than the UPnP server computer, check that  
the network connection between these two computers is active.  
Presets do not work anymore after a  
new CD is ripped or a server is  
reset.  
There are limitations regarding the presets, depending on the PC Server tool used  
(for example Philips Media Manager, EZ Server, Intel, Mediabolic).  
The PC server software may not be fully compatible with the UPnP specification.  
There is no workaround other than storing the presets again.  
SLA5500 Error Code  
The SLA5500 LCD screen may display the following error code in the event of a problem.  
Error Code Explanation
