User Manual

When was the last time you fell in love with
a new artist or song?
At Pandora, we have a single mission: To play music you’ll love – and nothing else.
To understand just how we do this, and why we think we do it really, really well, you need
to know about the Music Genome Project.®
Since we started back in 2000, we have been hard at work on the Music Genome Project.
It’s the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken. Together our team of
fifty musician-analysts has been listening to music, one song at a time, studying and
collecting literally hundreds of musical details on every song. It takes 20-30 minutes per
song to capture all of the little details that give each recording its magical sound – melody,
harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals, lyrics ... and more – close to 400 attributes!
We continue this work every day to keep up with the incredible flow of great new music
coming from studios, stadiums and garages around the country.
With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your heart’s content. Just
drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome
Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of
popular recordings – new and old, well known and completely obscure – to find songs
with interesting musical similarities to your choice.en sit back and enjoy as it creates a
listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you.
You can create as many “stations” as you want. And you can even refine them. If it’s not
quite right you can tell it so and it will get better for you.
e Music Genome Project was founded by musicians and music-lovers. We believe
in the value of music and have a profound respect for those who create it. We like all
kinds of music, from the most obtuse bebop, to the most tripped-out drum n’ bass, to the
simplest catchy pop tune. Our mission is to help you connect with the music YOU like.
We hope you enjoy the experience!

<Backlight> Selecting this option will alter the internet radio’s backlight values.

menu modes: ‘Inactive’, ‘Active’ and ‘Standby’. These three states are
explained below:
‘Inactive’ state when there is no user activity for 30 seconds.
‘Active’ state is when there is user activity.
‘Standby’ is the state when the radio has been turned off
(2) Rotate the knob to highlight the desired menu mode and press SELECT.
(3) The radio will now display the current backlight value for the menu mode.
You can alter this value by rotating the knob to increase or decrease it.

(1) If you have trouble connecting the radio to your wireless
network, these steps may help to resolve the problem
Confirm that a Wi-Fi or Ethernet Wired connected PC can access the internet (i.e.
can browse the web) using the same network. Check that a DHCP server is available,
or that you have configured a static IP address on the radio. Check that you firewall is
not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum the radio needs access to UDP and
TCP ports 80,554,1755,5000, and 7070.
Some access points may be set so that only equipment with registered MAC
addresses can connect to them. is is one possible cause of the Internet Radio
being unable to connect to the Wi-Fi network, and the Internet Radio display
will show Bad ESSID or key.To overcome this problem you will need to add the
Internet Radio’s MAC address to the list of allowed equipment in your access point.
e Internet Radio’s MAC address can be found using the menu item Configure-
>Network Config ->View Config -> MAC address. You will need to refer to the
guide for you Access Point in order to enter the Internet Radio as an allowed piece
of equipment. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the
correct key or passphrase into the radio. Remember that text-format keys are case
sensitive.
If your wireless network name(ESSID) is ‘Hidden’(a setting on the wireless access
point), then you can either turn on the name, or you can manually enter the name
into the internet radio and media player, Select Configure, Select network, Enter
ESSID. Confirm if the Network is encrypted, e.g. requires a WEP or WPA key, then
enter the network name.
(2) If your radio can connect to the network successfully,
but is unable to play particular stations, it may be due to
one of the following reasons:
e station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in
a different time zone). e station has too many people trying to attach to the radio
station server and the server capacity is not large enough. e station has reached the
maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.e station is not broadcasting
anymore.
e link on the radio is out of date.is is updated automatically every day, so the
next time you turn on the link will be recognised.e internet connection between
the server (often located in a different country) and you is slow. Some internet service
providers may fail to stream in certain geographical areas.Try using a PC to play
back the stream via the broadcaster’s web sit. If you can play back the station with a
Troubleshooting
PC, use the form at http://www.reciva.com/station/add_station.asp to notify us so that
we can change the station data that is used by the radio.
If you have a laptop, try connecting it if your Internet Radio cannot find the station.
(3) If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station:
e Internet Radio is streaming the data from the radio station via your broadband
connection, if there is a high error rate on your broadband connection, or the
connection is intermittent, then it will cause the Internet Radio to pause until the
connection is re-established and it has received enough data to start playing again.
If your Internet Radio keeps stopping, please check the DSL modem to ensure that
the Broadband line is not suffering a high error rate or disconnections. If you are
experiencing these problems, you will need to contact your broadband supplier.
(4) What is Buffering?
When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a small amount
of the stream before it starts playing. is is used to fill in any gaps in the stream that
may occur if the internet or the wireless network is busy.
e Internet Radio streams music data from the PC while you are listening. If a
stream gets blocked or experiences Internet congestion while transferring it may
stop/interfere with the quality of play. If this happens, check your internet connection
speed- it must be faster than the speed of the streams.
