5.2 Connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi
To use all the feature of the DR 800 you need a router with
internet access and a wireless network.

(The ‘>’ indicates selecting the option which leads to further
menus.) The Auto Search system will automatically search all

2: There are two types of network:
•Encrypted network: Shows a “lock” icon and a password is
required for accessing the network.
•Unencrypted network: There is no “lock” icon and a password
is not required for connecting.
Use the remote control to select a particular network and press
ENTER to connect. The radio will automatically start to connect if
an unencrypted network is selected. If a WPA/WPA2 encrypted
network is selected, you will be brought to another screen to enter
the password (assigned by the administrator of the network). If a
WEP encrypted network you will be asked if your network is using
Open System or the Shared Key Authentication before you have

the main unit to enter the password. To confirm the password and
connect to the network please select OK.

If the radio is successfully connected to the selected network, a
notification will show “Wi-Fi Connected Successfully”; otherwise
“Wi-Fi password Invalid” will appear. Please re-enter the correct
password. If “Wi-Fi Connection time out” shows up, please try
again to connect.
Remark: This item supports 3 protocols: Static IP, DHCP and
PPoE. DHCP is the default protocol to be used by the system
automatically. Please check the network setting and review which
protocol is being set – you will need to manually connect the unit
to the network if Static IP or PPoE is in use.
When your product is connected to internet and there is a newer
Firmware available, the DR 800 will detect it automatically and

5.8 UPnP File Sharing – Play files from your PC
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows you to stream videos,
music and pictures from your PC. This is done with an UPnP
Server in your local network. There are several possibilities to
setup an UPnP server. First of all there are several programs
which turn your PC into an UPnP server. Just search the internet
for “UPnP Media Server”. Another possibility is the usage of a
NAS (network attached storage) harddisk, some of them can act
as an UPnP server too. But naturally the operation of the
programs differs. As an example we will use the Windows Media
player. The following steps tell you how to setup your PC to work
as an UPnP server with the Windows Media Player.
1. Open the Windows Media Player and make sure it is
update-to-date (Version 11 is recommended).
2. Click “Library” on the top menu, and choose “Media Sharing”.

20
3. Select the “InternetRadio” icon and click the “Allow” button to
activate the sharing function. Press “OK” to confirm the settings.
4. Go to Library > Add to Library and then Select “My folders and
those of others that I can access”. Click “Advanced Options” to
choose the sharing folders.
