Favourites
You can store internet radio stations in your 'favourites'
folder for easy access later. Once playing, pressing
the RED key adds the station to the 'favourites'
folder. Pressing GREEN removes the station from the
'favourites' folder (this key only has an effect if the
station is in the favourites folder).
NOTE
For playback from a network device, the network
device needs to running a universal plug and
play (uPnP) service, such as Windows Media
Player 11. This can be downloaded free of charge
from www.microsoft.com or installed via the
Windows update installer. Windows 7 and Vista™
have this functionality built in. Windows Media
Player requires music library sharing/streaming to
be enabled in order to serve music to the AVR850/
AVR550/SR250.
Other free and paid-for uPnP services are available
for other computer operating systems. Some
network attached storage (NAS) systems include a
built-in version of a uPnP service.

Internet radio stations
Although you can manually browse for an internet
radio station, the AVR850/AVR550/SR250 uses the
vTuner service to allow easy selection of favourite
internet radio stations and podcasts. To set up this
service for your AVR850/AVR550/SR250, please visit
www.arcamradio.co.uk
There, you will be asked to enter the Media Access
Controller (MAC) address which is the unique ID of
your AVR850/AVR550/SR250. This MAC address can
be found in the network section of the setup menu.
Once you have entered the MAC address, you can
then browse stations and podcasts and set up groups
of favourite stations. When you next connect your
AVR850/AVR550/SR250 to the internet, these groups
will appear in the 'My favourites' folder.

The AVR850/AVR550/SR250 allows independent

If the main zone has a 5.1-channel surround sound
speaker system (not a 7.1-channel system), the spare
SBL and SBR speaker outputs can be used to power
speakers in Zone 2, so that a power amplifier is not
required.
To configure the outputs, navigate to the 'Spkr Types'
option in the Setup Menu and set the option 'Use
