point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service
Provider or bought from a computer store.
●
If your wireless network is configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP)orWiFiProtectedAccess(WPA/WPA2)dataencryptionthenyou
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
metreradiusfromyourwirelessaccesspoint.Theactualrangeachievedwill
dependuponthebuildingtype,othernearbywirelessnetworks,andpossible
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 63i has a stylish touch panel instead of conventional
buttons.
To operate the buttons simply touch the button area with the tip of a finger
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 find at first that the radio does not always detect that you have
touchedabutton. Ifso, trytouchingwithalittlemorepressure, orforslightly
longer. You will soon find the optimum touch needed to control your radio.
(See also Touch Panel Sensitivity Control on page 105.)
The panel may be cleaned using a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives,
cleaning fluids or solvents.
Remote control functions
Most of the functions of the Stream 63i 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
CD track access by numbers
Audio mute
DAB / FM auto-tune
CD / iPod random function
Last.fm Love / Ban
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
finger held on the remote control button for 2-3 seconds until the display
on the radio shows that the command has been accepted.

Configuration
Connecting your radio to your computer network
1. Place your radio on a flat surface and plug the mains lead into the
mains socket located on the back of your radio 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 (marked LAN) at the back of the radio.
3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into the wall socket and switch
on the wall socket.
IMPORTANT: The mains plug 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 completely, the mains plug should be removed from
the mains socket outlet completely.
4. When you apply power, the display on the radio will light up and say:
'WELCOME' and 'STARTING' with a progress indicator. The first time
that you use your radio (or after a Factory Reset) the display will show
'Setup wizard' and 'YES' will be highlighted on the screen. Press the
Select button to start the setup wizard. You will then have a choice to
set the clock to use the 12 or 24 hour format.
4,5
You are recommended to run the setup wizard, but if you do not wish
to then press the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'NO' is highlighted
on the display then press the Select button. The screen will ask if you
wish to run the setup wizard again at the next start up. This will lead
to the main menu.

5. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight the desired clock
format (either 12 or 24 hour) then press the Select button to enter
your selection. Amenu allowing you to specify the auto update option
for the clock will appear on the display. The default of 'Update from
Network' will be the best option for most users.

Connecting to your computer network - cont.
If your network allows automatic configuration (which is normal) the radio will
acquire a network address. The screen should say 'Connecting...', and then
'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Select button to exit the setup wizard
and show the main menu. You can then skip to paragraph 18 on page 17.
11,12
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.
Yellow ON = Link established; OFF = no connection
Yellow Flashing = Data transfer
11,12
11,12
Green ON = 100 Mbits/sec link; OFF = 10 Mbits/sec link
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 19.
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 radio 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 radio will find 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
the next page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 13.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back button to go back to the
previous screen.

Configuration
Connecting to your computer network - cont.
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 Menu Up or Down and Select buttons 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 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 identification 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 identification 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.
'Skip WPS' - if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously entered).
IfyouchosePushButtonorPINthescreenwillthenshow'Connecting...'andthen'Setupwizardcompleted'.
Press the Select button 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 Select button to exit the setup wizard and show the main menu. If this
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 '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 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.

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.
13-18
13-18
17. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the
Menu Up or Down, Left or Right (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.
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 radio 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 Up
or Down and Select buttons as needed:
17
select '

If a WEP or WPA key has previously been entered for the selected SSID then
the display will show 'Key: [Set]'. If you have previously entered a different key,
17
you must clear this by selecting the '

' symbol. This will remove the '[Set]'
After the final 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

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 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 111.
If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 22.
Configuring the radio 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 Menu Up or Down buttons to the desired network
name. Press the Select button 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 16-17). By default the radio
will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.
Configuring 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 '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
Menu Up or Down buttons. Press the Select 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.

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 radios 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 radio should now establish a connection to
the router using the Ethernet cable. Please skip to step 11 on page 21.
If you chose 'Wireless' and 'DHCP enable', please skip to step 6 on page 20 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, press the Menu Up or Down buttons to set the
value for each group of digits and then press the Select button or the Left or Right buttons (on the
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 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 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 Menu Up or Down buttons to set the value for each group of digits
and then press the Select button or the Left or Right buttons (on the remote 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 radio 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 Menu Up or Down, Left or Right
(on the remote control) and Select buttons. 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 Select button.
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.

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 radio 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 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 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 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

11. While the radio 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 radio 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 radio. The settings are retained when the radio
is disconnected from the mains.
You may now use the Back and Radio or Media buttons to access the functions of your radio.

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
finding 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 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 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 63i 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.

If your radio cannot connect to a radio station
Note: If your radio 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 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 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 radio. 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 radio
via the 'My Added Stations' menu item.
Registering an account
1. Open the web site http://www.wifiradio-frontier.com using the
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. In the Help menu, select the menu item 'Get access code'. Provided
that the radio 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.

1. If you wish to listen to a radio station which is not currently held in
the database at http://www.wifiradio-frontier.com it is possible to
add the details yourself. You will need to obtain the internet address
(URL) for the audio stream for the station that you wish to add. This
may be information provided by the radio station itself, via its web site,
or perhaps passed to you from another listener.
2. When the radio stations that you have found are shown on your
computer screen, they are shown with a 'Play' icon and an 'Add to
favourites' icon (the plus symbol and heart). Clicking on the 'Play' icon
will allow you to hear the radio station via your computer. Clicking on
the 'Add to favourites' icon will cause the radio station to be added to
the list accessible via your radio.
Note: The URL for the audio stream will generally not be the URL for
the web page from which you listen to the station on your PC.
2. Use the 'My added stations' link in the 'My account' area on the web
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,

Music Player
Music Player
Use with Windows, Apple Mac and Linux
Windows Media Player is less flexible 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.
The Music Player allows you to play audio files which are stored on a
computer on your network.
In order to play files from a computer on your network, your radio must
connect to a file 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 files available to your radio. It also allows you to select
files by Album, Artist, and so on.
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 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.
Windows Media Player 12 can serve MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV files to
your radio. Windows Media Player 11 is only able to serve MP3 and WMA
files to your radio. If you have your audio files 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.
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:
The Music Player on the radio can playback audio files in MP3, WMA,
AAC, FLAC and WAV formats. WMA Lossless files 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 files
encodedusingWMAVoice, WMA 10Professional, andforfileswhichhave
DRM protection is not supported.

Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server
Selecting Media Streaming in Windows Media Player 12
IfyourcomputerisrunningWindows7,thenWindowsMediaPlayer version
12 includesaUPnPserverwhichwillmakeyourfilesavailabletoyourradio.
If you have Windows Vista or XP please see page 115. 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 first 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 files available to it on your PC. To add new
media files to the library, select 'Library', then 'Music', then 'All music'
or 'Artist', 'Album' etc. This will show you the current library contents.
You may then simply drag and drop files from other locations into the
library.Alternatively, with media files or folders on the screen, you may
right-click on the file or folder and select 'Include in library' and then
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 Music Player mode display is shown.
The main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.

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' firewall software, this should
be correctly configured by WMP 12. If you are using third party firewall
software you may need to manually configure it to allow your unit
and WMP 12 to communicate (see the 'Troubleshooting' section on
page 113).
8. On the radio, select the named server again using the Menu Up or

1. Press the On/Standby button to switch on the unit. Press the Media
button as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown. The
main Music Player menu will then be displayed.
2. PresstheMenuUporDownbuttonsuntil'Sharedmedia'ishighlighted
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.
2-4
2-4
3. After a successful scan, press the Menu Up or Down buttons to
highlight your UPnP server and then press the Select button. If the
display shows multiple media types, select 'Music'. (Some UPnP
servers can serve pictures and video content to suitable devices.)
2-4
4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available
by the UPnP server - for example, 'Album', 'Artist' and 'Genre'. Press
the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight which category you wish
to browse, then press the Select button to confirm 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 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.

Last.fm
Last.fm - the basics
Using two dedicated buttons on the radio, you can tell Last.fm that 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 radio, your computer and other
devices. It plays personalised interactive radio stations based on 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 radio, 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 radio (see the following pages).
Before you can use Last.fm with your radio, 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 radio 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 radio with a
subscriptiontoLast.fm.Thismaydifferfromtherangeoffeaturesavailable
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 radio 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.
Your Roberts Stream 63i radio offers you a subscription level account with
Last.fm for a limited trial period. You may optionally extend this using the
subscription facility via the Last.fm web site at www.last.fm.

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 radio.
'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.

CD / MP3 / WMA
MP3 / WMA CD Mode
The Stream 63i is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3
and WMA files. It is assumed in this section that a file is equivalent to a
CD track.
An MP3 / WMACD may not contain more than 512 files and not more than
99 folders. MP3 and WMA files should be created with an audio sample
rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for files created from CD audio content).
MP3 and WMA data rates up to 320 kilobits per second are supported.
WMA Lossless files are not supported. The unit will not play files which
include digital rights management (DRM) protection.
When burning CD-R and CD-RW discs with audio files, various problems
may arise which could lead to problems with playback. Typically such
problems are caused by poor CD writing or audio encoding software, or
by the hardware settings of the PC's CD writer, or by the CD being used.
Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD
writer or software manufacturer or look in their product documentation
for relevant information. When you are making audio CDs, take care to
observe all legal guidelines and ensure that the copyright of third parties
is not infringed.
1. To select the CD mode press the Media button until 'CD' shows on
the display, or insert a suitably prepared CD-R or CD-RW disc.
1
2. Insert a CD with printed side facing up into the CD slot. The disc will
be loaded automatically. The unit will check the CD type and load its
track list. The display will show "loading" and then "reading" as the
information is read.
If there are many files or folders on the CD then it may take some
tens of seconds to read all of the file and folder names and to identify
those which are playable (with .mp3 or .wma filename extension).

SD / USB
Using SD cards or USB memory devices
This section describes how to use your radio to access and playback
your audio files via USB memory devices and Secure Digital (SD, SDHC)
cards. The Stream 63i can also record to SD, SDHC or USB media in
MP3 format.
Important: Your radio is only designed to work with USB memory flash
memory devices. It is not intended to be connected to hard disk drives or
any other type of USB device.
The Stream 63i has been tested with a range of USB memory devices of
up to 64GB capacity and SD cards up to 2GB and SDHC cards upto 16GB
are supported. However, there are many different card variants available
and not all cards can be guaranteed to work in the Stream 63i. Memory
must use the FAT 32 filing system in order to operate in the Stream 63i.
Audio formats supported for playback are MP3 and WMA. Playback does
not support files encoded using WMA lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10
professional, nor files of any format which have DRM protection.
Cautions:
In order to minimise the risk of damage to your radio, your SD card or your
USB memory, please place the unit such that the device cannot easily be
knocked while it is inserted in the socket.
SD card and USB slots are located behind the front panel beneath the
touch panel.This is opened by pushing and releasing the right hand corner
of the panel. To close the panel, press the right-hand side of the panel
door until it clicks back into place.
Remove the USB memory or SD card before carrying the unit or if not
using the USB or SD feature for a prolonged period.
Place the unit in Standby mode before removing your SD card or USB
memory device.
Do not attempt to open or close the panel door using the left hand
edge as this may distort or damage the panel.

SD / USB
Recording to SD / USB
Your Stream 63i radio has been designed to allow you to make recordings
to SD / SDHC cards or to USB connected memory devices. Recordings
are made in MP3 format at 128k bits per second.
SD/SDHC or USB memory media must use the FAT32 file system in order
to operate with the Stream 63i. Such media is usually supplied already
formatted or can be formatted using a PC with a suitable card reader (for
SD/SDHC cards) or USB connection (for USB memory).
It is possible to record onto media which already contains files written by
the radio or using your computer. The recorded files will be added to those
already present on the media.
Making a recording
1. Select the desired source for the recording (Internet Radio, DAB, FM,
CD, etc.). Internet Radio is shown in the illustration. Set the volume
to the required listening level (the volume of the recording will not be
affected by this).
2. Insert the media on to which the recording is to be made.
3
3. Press the Record button. The display will show "Record initial...".
Recording will then start with the recording source shown on the
display.
If only one media type is present, then after a short while recording
will start. If both SD and USB media are detected, then the radio
will default to the option previously set. The default media option is
accessed through the 'System settings' menu then by selecting 'Rec
default dest.'. Select 'SD card' or 'USB' memory as needed.

Making a recording cont.
If recording from a CD, recording will be started from the beginning
of the currently playing track. Each track on the CD will be recorded
as a separate file on the media.
4
4. In order to stop the recording press the Record button once more.
Recording will stop and a file will have been written to the storage
media.
Files that have been written to the media are held in a folder called
"RECORD". Recordings are held in sub-folders according to the source
used for the recording.
The illustration shows the folders as they may appear on a PC running
Windows with files in the CD folder being shown to the right.
Note: The SD card / USB memory device should only be removed when
recording is stopped. Removing media while recording is in progress may
corrupt data on the card leading to the loss of files previously written.
The USB connection is primarily intended to be used to allow the Stream
63i to play MP3 and WMA files from solid-state flash memory devices.
You may be able to play files which have been stored on a USB hard disc
drive (but the drive must have its own power supply). If you wish to play
files from another music player, then we recommend that this is connected
to the Auxiliary input socket - see page 105.

Recording MP3 / WMA files from CD / SD / USB
In addition to recording from conventional sources, the Stream 63i radio
can also record from MP3 or WMA files that have previously been written
to CD, SD or USB media. In this case the files are copied rather than
re-encoded to MP3 in order to avoid a reduction in quality. You may copy
files from CD or SD to USB and from CD or USB to SD.

iPod Docking
Your Stream 63i radio has an iPod dock facility which allows you to play
digital audio files and video soundtracks held on your iPod directly.
The Stream 63i uses the Universal Dock Connector developed for use
with iPods. Most recent models of iPod are supplied with adaptor inserts
which ensure correct alignment of the iPod with the electrical connector.
Earlier models of iPod were not supplied with the necessary inserts, and
so your Stream 63i is supplied with insert types 1 - 7. Should you require
an insert to use your iPod with the Stream 63i, then please contact an
iPod accessories supplier.

Automatically updating the clock
Your radio will normally update the clock automatically when connected to
the internet. If you enter a time setting manually, the radio will calculate a
local time offset which is then stored in memory. Whenever it synchronises
the clock using the internet, including after a power failure, your radio will
then set the clock automatically using this information.
You may wish to use the radio away from the internet, in which case you
may specify that the unit sets its clock from DAB or FM radio broadcasts.
After a power failure the radio will then set its clock the next time that you
turn on the radio in DAB or FM mode.
Alternatively you may specify that the time is not automatically updated.
In this case the clock must always be set manually after a power
interruption.

Software update
From time to time, new software features for your radio may be developed. Your radio has therefore 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 radio.
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
update' the menu will display 'Auto check setting' and 'Check now'. If you want your radio to check
periodically for new software versions press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight 'Auto check
settings'. Then press the Select button and select 'YES'. If you do not want your radio to check for
updates select the 'NO' option.
2. To check if there are any software updates available currently, press the Menu Up or Down buttons
to highlight 'Check now' and then press the Select button. The radio will check to see if an update is
available. The display will show 'Checking for new versions'. If there are no updates then the display
will show 'Software up to date'. If a software update is available your radio will then offer the choice of
updating the software or not, displaying 'New version available. Update software?'. Select the 'YES'
option if you wish to go through the update process.
3
If you choose to update your radio it will first download the new software and will then reprogram its
internal memory. This may take a few minutes depending on the speed of your internet connection.
4. Once the software update is completed, the radio will prompt you to press Select to restart. Press
the Select button and your radio will then restart. You may find that you will need to reconfigure your
network connection following an update. You may also need to re-enter all radio station presets, alarm
settings, and configuration options.
VERY IMPORTANT: Do not switch off the power to the radio until the update operation is complete
and the radio has restarted, otherwise the unit may become permanently damaged.

to visit the help section on our web site at
http://www.robertsradio.co.uk/pages/stream63i_faq.htm
If you have difficulty connecting the radio to your computer network, some
of these steps may help to resolve the problem:
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
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
Ethernet Gateway address
Ethernet Primary DNS
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
and 12 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 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 19 for full details on how to set up your radio's network
configuration manually.

Troubleshooting - cont.
If your radio 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 radio, please keep this fact in mind: Afresh installation
of Windows and Windows Media Player when using Microsoft'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 63i 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
station database web site at http://www.wifiradio-frontier.com. If you
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 UPnPservers are much less dependent upon other parts
of Windows than WMP 11 and 12. If the greater flexibility that these offer
is attractive, then it may be found in some cases that they are easier to
get working.

Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server using
Windows Vista and XP
Selecting Media Sharing in Windows Media Player 11
If your computer is running Windows Vista or XP, then Windows Media
Player version 11 includes a UPnP server which will make your files
available to your radio. 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 first choice for the majority of users.
Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC
1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP 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’.
The next step is to connect your radio to Windows Media Player 11 and to
configure the program to allow the radio to access your media library.

3. Press the On/Standby button to switch the unit on. Then press the
Media button as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown.
The main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.

window. Make sure the box 'Share my media to:' is ticked.
Allowing a device to connect to Windows Media Player 11
7. In the 'Media Sharing' window, the radio will be listed as an unknown
device. Click on the unknown device shown to select it, then click the
'Allow' button and then click 'OK'.
Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows' firewall software, this should
be correctly configured by WMP 11. If you are using third party firewall
software you may need to manually configure it to allow your unit
and WMP 11 to communicate (see the 'Troubleshooting' section on
page 113).
8. On the radio, select the named server again using the Menu Up or
Down and Select buttons. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with
your radio you will be presented with some media selection options
on the display.

Audio codecs
Your radio supports a range of audio codecs which provide compatibility with a wide range of Internet Radio stations. These also allow users to stream
music from their computers or to play directly from USB and SD/SDHC flash memory devices.
Note that for any given audio codec, there are many streaming protocols available, and thus even if an Internet Radio station uses a supported format,
this does not guarantee that every such station will work with your radio. The radio stations database to which your radio connects is checked for
compatibility so that most stations should be playable without problems. Similarly when streaming media from a computer, while a codec may be
supported, there can be many subtle variations in formats, tagging schemes and protocols (even within UPnP). In general your radio will play the
supported formats with most common UPnP servers.
Bit-Rates
The following table summarises the maximum supported bit-rates for the various audio formats that are playable on your radio. Higher rates may be
playable in some cases but performance of the product may be affected.
