Troubleshooting If you experience any trouble with your radio, then you may find it useful to visit the help section on our web site at http://www.robertsradio.co.uk/pages/colourstream_faq.htm If you have difficulty connecting the radio to your computer network, some of these steps may help to resolve the problem: 1. Confirm that a WiFi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network. 2. Check that a DHCP server is available (normally a router function).
Information 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: If you cannot play the station via your PC this may indicate that the problem is not necessarily due to your radio, but it could be your network, your internet connection, the broadcaster, or internet congestion. 1.

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).
Information Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC - cont. Touch Shared media. The radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. It may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan. The radio will display 'No UPnP service' if no UPnP servers are found. 4. After scanning, select your UPnP server. If you are using WMP 11 as the server, your radio will then normally display 'Unauthorised ' at this stage. 5. Your PC may prompt you that there has been a connection to your UPnP server.
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 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.
