Auto-update works with data sent over DAB, FM or the internet. The
clock is only updated when in a corresponding mode, so it is best to
select a mode you use regularly.
Update from DAB and FM use time signals broadcast with radio
transmissions. Update from Network uses a time signal sent from the
internet radio portal when connected to the internet.
Select Update from DAB | Update from FM | Update from Network
| No update.
Tenor will auto-update from the selected source when time information
is available.
If your country uses daylight saving, the automatically updated time from

Tenor uses the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal website that allows
you to organize your favorite’s lists and also listen to Internet radio on a
computer.
1 To register your Tenor with the portal, switch to Internet Radio
mode and then obtain your radio’s unique portal access code by
selecting Menu > Station list > Help > Get access code >.
2 Write down the access code.
3 Visit the portal website at http://nuvola.link/sr
4 Ifthisisyourrstvisittotheportal,registerforanewaccount
and enter the following information.
a Access code
b Your e-mail address
c A password
d Your radio model (Tenor).
5 If you already have an account and wish to add an additional radio,
log in to your account and select
My preferences > Add another Wi-Fi radio.
Once your radio is registered with the portal, you can immediately use
the Internet radio favorites and added stations features.
The portal enables you to create multiple lists of favourite stations that
you can personalise. If you have several Frontier Silicon radios, you can
register them all on the same account so that each radio has access
to your favourite’s lists. It is possible to add favourites either directly
through Tenor or through any computer with a web browser.
!
NOTE: The displayed access code is only valid for 10 minutes. If you fail
to register your radio within the time window, you will need to repeat
the above step to get a new access code and try again. Do not confuse
the portal access code with the Radio ID (from Menu > System
settings > Info.)
Favourites, stations and podcasts can be stored on the Internet radio
portal. Before you set up an account on the portal from its Web
interface http://nuvola.link/sr, favourites are associated solely with
the radio on which you set them.
After you set up a portal account, all the favourites from your different
radios merge into a combined favourites list. This combined list is
available to all the radios on your account.
To select a Internet Radio portal favourite, select
Menu > Station list > My favourites > Station
To select a Internet Radio portal podcast, select

Some DAB broadcasts offer dynamic range compression (DRC).
This feature allows radios to compress the dynamic range of the output
audio stream so that quiet sounds increase and loud sounds reduce.
This can be useful if you are listening to music with a high dynamic
range in a noisy environment: for example, classical music while cooking.
To change the DRC of the TENOR, select
Menu > DRC > DRC high | DRC low | DRC off
!
NOTE: The TENOR’s DRC setting does not have any effect if DRC
data is not included in the broadcast.
You can choose the order of the DAB station list to be either Alpha-
numeric, Ensemble or Valid. Ensemble lists groups of stations that are
broadcast together on the same ensemble: for example, BBC or South

UPnP media-sharing allows devices like Tenor to play music from a
shared media library and navigate through tag menus such as Artist,
Album or Genre.
If you are running a suitable server system, such as a PC with Windows
Media Player 10 or later (WMP), and your music library is well-tagged,
then it is recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server
needs to be set up.
!
NOTE: iTunes does not currently work as an UPnP media server,
but there are add-ons available to work with an iTunes library.
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later).
Alternatively, other UPnP platforms and servers may be used.

Pictures and Playlists. Tenor can only play music and playlists. There is
alsoasearchfunctionthatndstracksinasimilarwaytotheinternet
radio search.
You can select tracks by genre, artist, album, composer, or rating. Once
you have found a track you want to play, press select. A short press
plays the track immediately and a long press adds the track to the
playlist. You can also add entire albums to the playlist.
While a track is playing, the screen shows its track and artist (UPnP).
Thereisalsoaprogressbarwithguresforelapsedandtotaltracktime.
At the bottom of the screen, an icon indicates UPnP.
- To view further information, press Info. Each time you press the
INFO button another set of information is displayed, cycling
through UPnP, playback progress bar (default), album,
codec/sampling rate, playback, buffer bar, and today’s date.
- You can repeat tracks or play them in random order by selecting
Music Player > Menu > Repeat play or
Music Player > Menu > Shufe play.
Tenor holds a queue of up to 200 tracks in the playlist. Playlist tracks
can be mixed from multiple UPnP servers.
- To manage the playlist, select Menu > My playlist.
- To view the playlist, scroll though it by turning the NAVIGATION
dial. UPnP tracks show their track name.
- To play the playlist from a certain track, quick SELECT the track.
- To erase a track from the playlist, long SELECT the track, then
 conrmYES.
If you select a track, album or folder for instant playback (without
using the playlist), the playlist is preserved. The playlist is also preserved
during standby.
If shared media is selected, a list of available music servers will be dis-
played. If a question mark appears before the server name, this indicates
that the server has been seen before and supports Wake-on-LAN
functionality, but cannot currently be found on the network.
If a server with a question mark is selected by the user, the device will
try to wake the server up and connect to it. In some instances, this may
not be possible as the server may not be connected to the network
any more or may be switched off.
From time to time, it may be necessary to remove servers displaying
question marks in front of the server name from the server list: for ex-
ample, if the device is moved to a new network or if a Wake-on-LAN
server is removed from your current network.

running Windows 7, control Tenor to push media and use as a universal
remote control for your media collection.
Tenor supports the industry standard DLNA (Digital Living Network
Alliance) 1.5 digital media renderer. This allows you to “Play To” other
devices around your home and combine media streaming with con-
trolling a connected media receiver while streaming content to it from
another Windows 7 PC on a home network.
Before you can use the “Play To” feature, you need the set-up Tenor for
Windows 7 streaming media.
