Information on handling batteries/rechargeable batteries Please adhere to the following information when handling batteries and rechargeable batteries: • Keep batteries out of children’s reach. • Batteries are hazardous waste and do not belong in household waste. • Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries. • Always remove batteries when the remote control is not in use for longer periods of time. Power supply: Plug in the power cable and connect it to a power receptacle 230V/50-60Hz.
Music server: preparing the UPnP server(s) UPnP technology can run on many media that support IP including ethernet. No special device driver support is necessary. Common network protocols are used instead. The UPnP architecture allows device-to-device networking of personal computers, networked electronic devices and wireless devices. It is a distributed, open architecture protocol based on established standards such as the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP).
Example: The most commonly used UPnP server is Windows Media Player (Version 10 or later). Proceed as follows to set up media file sharing on most Windows 7 machines: 1. Make sure your PC is connected to the network and set it up as a UPnP server. 2. Ensure that the PMR4000R has been turned on and is connected successfully to the same network. 3. Add supported audio files (MP3/WMA/FLAC or WAV) and/or folders you want to share with your PMR4000R to your Windows Media Player’s media library.
Network sharing settings.
Click “Customize” in the field showing the APart PMR4000R to check media streaming settings. Select “Make all of the media in my library available to this device” instead of “Use default settings”. Normally this is optional, but when your media files have been redirected to a server location, or a network connected hard disk (NAS), it may be necessary to select this option. It is possible to access media files and folders present on most so called network drives (NAS).
Connecting PMR4000R to a network: You need a network connection via a wired or wireless router for “Internet radio“ and “UPnP” operation modes. The router must have a broadband internet connection for internet radio operation and to perform software updates. When you select “Internet radio“ or “UPnP” mode, PMR4000R will try to connect to a network. If this is the first time that a connection has been made or previously accessed networks are not accessible, then the “Network Wizard” will start.
• DHCP enable: activates use and switches on the automatic reception of network data. • DHCP disable: deactivates use and carries on with the manual entry of network data. • IP settings: set the IP address and the subnet mask. • Gateway address: set the gateway address. • DNS: set the primary and secondary DNS address. • SSID: set the wireless network identification. • Authentication: set the preferred method of authentication: Open, Pre-shared key (PSK), Wifi protected access (WPA) or WPA2.
