Recalling presets is done simply by selecting the Presets button on the
remote or via the Home menu.
Note:
– The Evo 75/Evo 150 load the presets for display from our Stream Magic
servers over the internet, thus they can take a few seconds to appear.
– All saved Presets will be deleted when a unit is registered/re-registered
online.
RADIO
The Stream Magic Internet Radio service brings thousands of internet
radio stations to you. The sheer choice available on the internet allows you
to find new music, listen to stations in your native language (or perhaps
if you are learning another one), from your home town or by your Genre
of choice.
It has to be said that the audio quality of internet radio varies greatly
dependant on the bitrate and compression technology used by the
broadcaster, but the choice more than makes up for this. Internet Radio
allows you to explore and find new music from all over the world.
Note: As an 'aggregator' service we are simply organising the browsing and
connection process for these stations so that you don't have to manually
search for them or type in any URLs (web links) etc to access them. Whilst
we regularly check the stations to make sure they are still transmitting
reliably and in reasonable quality, we are not responsible for their content
in any way.
If there is a station you would like added to the list that isn't currently
available, please email us at support@cambridgeaudio.com and we will
be more than happy to look into the availability of this.

button.
UPNP SERVERS
Your Evo 75/Evo 150 can connect with Computers or Network Attached
Storage devices that feature a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) AV Server.
When using a UPnP server to share your media, the search and selection
criteria are determined by the server and not the Evo 75/Evo 150, but
typically include Album, Artist and additional options such as Genre.
As long as the Evo 75/Evo 150 is correctly configured for your Network,
it will automatically discover and connect to UPnP servers it finds. It will
then allow navigation of the menu structure coming from that server.
There are many suitable UPnP server software packages available for PC
and Mac. Stand-alone servers and Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices
with built in UPnP server capabilities are also available. Please see the set-
up guides on our website at https://techsupport.cambridgeaudio.com/.
Once you have setup a suitable server, navigate to the My Library menu
and press Select.
The Evo 75/Evo 150 will perform a scan of your network and report any
UPnP Servers it finds. If none are found it will display "No Servers Found"
on the display. If a server or servers are found, UPnP server names will be
displayed and you can select which one you'd like to get the contents from.
Select the server you want and the Evo 75/Evo 150 will then load the
appropriate menu structure from that sever. These typically allows you
to browse the content by Album, Artist, Genre etc. It is important to
understand that the menu structure here is coming from the Server and
not the Evo 75/Evo 150.
You can now browse and select any music content in a format the Evo 75/
Evo 150 support (currently AAC, MP3, WMA, AIFF, FLAC, WAV and Ogg
Vorbis).
Note: Not all servers support serving of all these formats. Always make
sure the server you choose also supports your formats of choice. For
example, Windows Media Server does not currently serve FLAC format.
ALPHANUMERIC SEARCH
This is a search function menu inserted by the Evo 75/Evo 150 into the
browse tree of UPnP servers that support an external search function.
Where available you can select Alphanumeric search and then enter the
name or partial name of an album or track you wish to find.
Simply select each character in order using the Navigation/Select dial
or the navigational buttons on the remote, using the dial, rotate to each
