If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your sound system will have connected
to your router, and then made a connection to the Internet and set its clock. If this is the case, then you can
try listening to radio stations via the Internet as described on page 20 onwards.
Changing the network connection
In the sections above, you chose how your sound system would be connected to your network, either
using a WiFi connection or using a wired Ethernet cable. From time to time, you may fi nd that you need
to connect to different computer networks. The Network Settings menu allows you to change your radio's
network settings, scan for an alternative wireless network, or to manually confi gure the network parameters.
The steps outlined below describe how you can do this - see also the section 'Network profi les' on page 92.
If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 20.
Confi guring the sound system to use an alternative WiFi connection
1. From the Network Settings menu select 'Network wizard'. This will present you with details of any WiFi
networks that are found. Scroll down the list using the Tuning/Select control to the desired network
name. Press the control to select this network.
The radio will then use its WiFi system to communicate with the network. Depending on the settings
for the new network you may need to enter an encryption key (see pages 13-14). By default the sound
system will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from the network's router using
DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol).
Confi guring the sound system to use the wired Ethernet connection
2. Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ-45 socket at the back
of the unit. From the Network Settings menu select 'Network wizard'. This will display a list of any WiFi
networks that are found. Scroll down the list and select the '[Wired]' option.
The sound system will then use its Ethernet connection to communicate with the network. By default
the unit will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from the network's router using
DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol).
