Navigation controls This page describes the basic means of controlling your WFR-27C internet radio. Instructions for each operating mode are given in the later section of this book. 1. Pressing the Standby button brings your radio out of Standby mode. Pressing Standby while the radio is in use will cause it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display. 2. Pressing the Mode button gives you access to each of the operating modes: Internet Radio, DAB+ radio, Music player, FM radio.
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 left side of your radio ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket. GB 2. 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.
5. Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to choose an auto-update option for the clock. This can be updated from DAB or FM radio, from the Network, or not updated. The default is to auto update from the network. If you choose any other option, go to step 8. Otherwise you will first need to select the correct time zone and daylight savings setting, see steps 6 and 7. If you choose “No update” you will need to set the clock manually later( see the section of ‘Manually setting the clock’).
. 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.
15. If your network is configured without an encryption key, the screen should say ‘Connecting…’, and then ‘Setup wizard completed’. Press the Tuning Control Rotary 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. 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).
18. Once you have connected your radio to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will display the main menu. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to put the radio in Standby mode. It should then display the time as obtained from the Internet. If the time display is not correct for any reason, it can easily be adjusted later, see ‘Manually setting the clock’.
Changing the network connection In the sections above, you chose how your radio would be connected to your network, using a WiFi connection. 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’.
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.
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.
Network remote control options Network Pin setup (Pin number) Your radio has the option of being controlled by an application installed on an Apple iPhone, iPod touch or iPod. The Pin number facility allows you to ensure that your radio can only be controlled by your own Apple device rather than someone else’s. Details of how this feature can be used with your iPhone or iPod touch are explained in a separate sheet called 'The App for controlling your Sangean internet radio'.
Internet 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 the wireless (WiFi) connection.

Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary until ‘Station list’ is highlighted on the display and then press the Tuning Control Rotary. Internet radio 1 > > > Internet radio 2.
Selecting a new or popular station As described in the section ‘Internet Radio – the basics’, your radio connects via the the Internet to a database of radio stations. This option is provided to highlight stations which are newly added to the list of those available, or stations which are particularly popular with listeners around the world. Your radio allows you to easily choose stations from these two categories, using menus very similar to those used when finding stations by location and genre. GB 1.
Selecting a podcast / BBC Listen Again Some radio stations allow you to listen to programs that have already been broadcast. The BBC’ s Listen Again service is an example of this. In addition, radio broadcasters and individuals may make programs which are intended normally to be downloaded into a computer or copied onto a portable media player. These are commonly known as Podcasts.
Presetting stations With so many Internet radio stations available, it is desirable to have a means of rapidly selecting the stations that you listen to most frequently. Your radio has five memory presets which can easily be set to store the details of any Internet radio station. The radio station presets are retained in memory even when the radio is switched off. Please see also the section ‘Last Listened’ and ‘Configuring My Favorite Stations’. GB Storing a preset 1.
Last Listened It is often helpful to be able to go back to a station that you have already listened to. Your radio has a ‘Last Listened’ feature which provides you with quick access to the ten most recently listened to radio stations or podcasts. As each new radio station is listened to the oldest item is deleted from the list. The Last Listened list is stored when the radio is disconnected from the mains. 1.

Music player Use with Windows, Apple Mac and Linux The Music Player allows you to play audio files which are stored on computer in 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.
Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server If your computer is running Windows 7, then Windows Media Player version 12 includes a UPnP server which will make your files available to your radio. If you have Windows Vista or XP (Please refer to the section of ‘Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server using Windows Vista and XP’). 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 section).
