Windows 'Play To' / 'Cast To Device' Function (Upnp Renderer); Keep Network Connected - Roberts Stream217 Instruction Manual

Keep network connected

Your radio has the option to shut down its WiFi or Ethernet connection
when it is in Standby. This minimises power consumption but it does mean
that you will need to switch the radio on manually in order to use either
Spotify Connect, the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' function or any remote
control software such as UNDOK app.
If you need to be able to remotely control the radio even when it has been
put into Standby, then you can choose to keep the network connected by
using the 'Keep network connected' option in the network settings menu.
In the Standby mode display the WiFi signal indicator is shown with or
without a cross through it, or the Ethernet connection indicator is shown
unplugged or plugged in, according to the state of the connection.

Windows 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' function
If you use Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 it is possible to choose a music album,
track or playlist at the computer and then tell Windows that this should
be played on the radio using the 'Play to' function (called 'Cast to Device'
in Windows 10).
Using suitable software (sometimes known as a UPnP Control Point),
similar functionality is available for other computer types and for handheld
devices using Apple's iOS or Android operating systems. In this mode the
radio acts as a UPnP Renderer.
1. In order to use the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' function, the radio must
be actively connected to the network. If your radio is confi gured to
keep its network connection in Standby mode (see 'Keep network
connected', at left), then go to step 3.
2. If your radio is not currently in use, or does not have an active connection
to your network, then you should fi rst switch on your radio and select
the Music player mode using the Mode button. Then select 'Shared
media' from the menu so that the radio establishes a connection with
Windows Media Player on your PC. After this step, all other functions
may be performed from your computer.
3. At your Windows PC, locate the fi le, album or playlist that you wish
to play on the radio.
4. Use the right-hand mouse button to pop-up a menu of options for the
chosen item and select the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' option.
5. Windows should show you one or more devices, including your radio,
to which you may choose to send the music. Highlight the radio item
and click with the left mouse button.
