Before you can use this product
Before you can use your internet radio, you must have the following:
● A broadband Internet connection (not required for DAB, FM or Music
Player functions).
● Awireless access point (WiFi) or a wired Ethernet connection connected
to your broadband Internet Service Provider, preferably via a router.
In many cases the broadband modem, router and wireless access
point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service
Provider or bought from a computer store.
● If your wireless network is configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) or WiFi ProtectedAccess (WPA/WPA2) data encryption then you
either need to know the WEP, WPA or WPA2 key used for encryption
so you can get the internet radio to communicate with the network,
or your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
If connecting using WiFi, the interent radio will typically work within a 10-20
metre radius from your wireless access point. The actual range achieved will
depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless networks, and possible
interference sources. DAB and FM radio functions can operate wherever
the internet radio is able to receive a suitable broadcast signal.
IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access
point or router is powered up and working with your broadband Internet
service (use your computer to verify this). To get this part of the system
working you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access
point or router.

Using the touch panel
The Stream 63i has a stylish touch panel instead of conventional
buttons.
To operate the buttons simply touch the button area with the tip of a finger
for about half a second. The clock set and system menu functions marked
with a dot () are accessed by means of a long touch (2-3 seconds) on the
appropriate button until the display on the radio shows that the command
has been accepted.
You may find at first that the radio does not always detect that you have
touched a button. If so, try touching with a little more pressure, or for slightly
longer. You will soon find the optimum touch needed to control your radio.
(See also Touch Panel Sensitivity Control on page 105.)
The panel may be cleaned using a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives,
cleaning fluids or solvents.
Remote control functions
Most of the functions of the Stream 63i radio can be controlled using either
the touch panel or the remote control. However, there are a few functions
which are only accessible using the remote control. These are:
Radio station presets DAB / FM auto-tune
CD track access by numbers CD / iPod random function
Audio mute Last.fm Love / Ban
As with the front panel, some operations require a longer operation of the
button (explained in the relevant sections). In this case simply keep your
finger held on the remote control button for 2-3 seconds until the display
on the radio shows that the command has been accepted.

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on 020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)
Navigation controls
This page describes the basic means of controlling your Stream 63i internet radio.
Instructions for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.
1. Pressing the On/Standby button brings your radio out of Standby mode.
Pressing On/Standby while the radio is in use will cause it to return to the Standby
mode with the clock display.
2. Pressing the Radio button gives you access to each of the operating modes in
turn: Internet Radio, Last.fm, DAB radio, FM radio and Auxiliary Input.
3. Pressing the Media button gives you access to each of the operating modes in
turn: CD, USB memory device, SD card, iPod, and Music player.
4. Pressing and holding the Info/Menu button will access the menu system. The
info button also allows the display of information relating to the radio station or
music file being played.
5. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. Highlight
the menu item using the Menu Up or Down buttons. Press the Select button
to select that item. If there are more than five items in a menu, then the display
will automatically scroll up or down so that the additional items become visible.
A sliding bar on the right will give an indication showing the current portion of the
menu that is displayed.
If there are many items in a menu, then the radio allows the menu to 'wrap around'
in either direction. This can make it easier to reach items at the end of a long
menu, such as a list of countries or Internet radio stations.
6. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back
to a higher level menu by pressing the Back button.
Although controls on the internet radio are shown, all functions are also available
using the remote control.

Configuration
Connecting your radio to your computer network
1. Place your radio on a flat surface and plug the mains lead into the
mains socket located on the back of your radio ensuring that the plug
is pushed fully into the socket.
2. If you wish to use a wired network connection, plug the Ethernet cable
into the RJ-45 socket (marked LAN) at the back of the radio.
3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into the wall socket and switch
on the wall socket.
IMPORTANT: The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the
radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must
remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio
from the mains completely, the mains plug should be removed from
the mains socket outlet completely.
4. When you apply power, the display on the radio will light up and say:
'WELCOME' and 'STARTING' with a progress indicator. The first time
that you use your radio (or after a Factory Reset) the display will show
'Setup wizard' and 'YES' will be highlighted on the screen. Press the
Select button to start the setup wizard. You will then have a choice to
set the clock to use the 12 or 24 hour format.
You are recommended to run the setup wizard, but if you do not wish
to then press the Menu Up or Down buttons until 'NO' is highlighted
on the display then press the Select button. The screen will ask if you
wish to run the setup wizard again at the next start up. This will lead
to the main menu.
5. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight the desired clock
format (either 12 or 24 hour) then press the Select button to enter
your selection. A menu allowing you to specify the auto update option
for the clock will appear on the display. The default of 'Update from
Network' will be the best option for most users.

6. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to choose an auto-update option for
the clock. This can be updated from DAB or FM radio, from the Network, or
not updated. The default is to auto update from the network. If you choose
any other option, go to step 9. Otherwise you will first need to select the
correct time zone and daylight savings setting, see steps 7 and 8. If you
choose 'No update' you will need to set the clock manually later, see page
94. Press the Select button to confirm your choice.
7. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight the time zone which is
applicable to your location. Press the Select button to enter the setting.
8. You will then need to set the Daylight Savings option according to your
location (Daylight Savings is also known as Summer/Winter time or BST/
GMT adjustment).
Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to highlight 'YES' to turn on daylight
savings if required or 'NO' if you do not wish to use daylight savings then
press the Select button to confirm the setting.
In the UK, 'ON' is equivalent to British Summer Time and 'OFF' is equivalent
to Greenwich Mean Time.
9. The display will then show a list of WiFi regional options for the network
set up (for the UK choose 'Most of Europe'). Press the Menu Up or Down
buttons to highlight the required region and then press the Select button
to select it. Do this even if planning to use the wired Ethernet connection.
Your radio will then scan for available WiFi networks. If using WiFi we
recommend that the WiFi antenna is positioned vertically.
10. The radio will enter the Network Settings Wizard and will display 'Scanning...'.
After a short while the display will show a list of the available WiFi networks.
If you are intending to use the WiFi connection, go to step 11.
To use the Ethernet connection to your router (with automatic configuration),
Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to point to the '[Wired]' menu item.
Press the Select button and the radio will attempt to connect.

Connecting to your computer network - cont.
If your network allows automatic configuration (which is normal) the radio will
acquire a network address. The screen should say 'Connecting...', and then
'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Select button to exit the setup wizard
and show the main menu. You can then skip to paragraph 18 on page 17.
There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you
have problems with your wired connection, they may help you to identify the
possible cause of the problem.
Yellow ON = Link established; OFF = no connection
Yellow Flashing = Data transfer
Green ON = 100 Mbits/sec link; OFF = 10 Mbits/sec link
If your network does not support automatic configuration or if you wish to set
it up manually then you should select '[Manual config]' instead of selecting
'[Wired]' in the Network Wizard, then see page 19.
11. If you plan to use a WiFi connection, you will first need to identify your network
in the list of network names presented by the Network Wizard. If no networks
are found then you may have to get your wireless router working (please see
the instructions supplied with it) or you may be too far from the router.
When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the Network Name
(SSID) for the wireless access point on the screen. This is a name that is
allocated to the access point in your router by the person who set up the
network - for example: 'Jones family' or 'Paul's network'. If the router supports
WiFi Protected Setup, then '[WPS]' will be shown in front of the SSID.
It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more
than one wireless network, in which case you should choose which one you
need to connect to.
12. Press the Menu Up or Down buttons to see the SSID for each wireless
network that has been found. If your network is shown proceed to step 14 on
the next page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 13.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back button to go back to the
previous screen.

Configuration
Connecting to your computer network - cont.
13. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is configured not to broadcast the SSID. You
should then use the Menu Up or Down and Select buttons to highlight and select the '[Manual config]'
option in order to enter the network details manually. This is described in 'Manual Network Configuration',
see page 19.
If your network name is being broadcast, and it was not found, then try re-scanning (press the Back
button), and if necessary try moving your radio to a location closer to your access point / router.
14. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to is highlighted on the screen, press the
Select button. If WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) was indicated, you will see an additional menu at this point,
otherwise proceed to step 15.
Choose one of the WPS menu options as required for your router (WPS may be via push button, or using
an identification number).
'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router and then the Select
button on the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to
the radio.
'PIN' - the display shows an identification number which you must enter into your router using a web
browser (refer to your router's user documentation). You should then press the Select button on the radio.
The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio.
'Skip WPS' - if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously entered).
If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup wizard completed'.
Press the Select button to exit setup wizard and then go to paragraph 18 on the next page.
15. If your network is configured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and then
'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Select button to exit the setup wizard and show the main menu. If this
is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please go to paragraph
18 on the next page.
16. If the screen displays 'Key:', it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). You will need to enter the correct WEP or
WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your wireless network. If you do not have the WEP
or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set up your network. Some wireless routers
may come with an encryption key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the
documentation provided with it. WPA is used here to also include WPA2.

17
Connecting to your computer network - cont.
WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some wireless
routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported. WPA
keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters.
Your radio accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.
17. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the
Menu Up or Down, Left or Right (on the remote control) and Select buttons. The
highlight scrolls through the available characters as well as the three controls on
the right. The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press the
Select button.
Do this as needed until the complete key has been entered. Remember, WEP
keys only use the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper
and lower case characters. You must enter the key exactly or the radio will not
connect to the network.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions.
You can quickly access these by pressing the Info button and then use the Up
or Down and Select buttons as needed:
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear)
select ' ' when the complete key has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and re-run the Network Wizard
If a WEP or WPA key has previously been entered for the selected SSID then
the display will show 'Key: [Set]'. If you have previously entered a different key,
you must clear this by selecting the ' ' symbol. This will remove the '[Set]'
indication.
After the final character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, highlight the '
' symbol and press the Select button.The screen will show 'Connecting...' and
then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Select button to the exit setup wizard.
The radio should now be able to connect to the network.
18. Once you have connected your radio to the network (and therefore also to the
Internet) it will display the main menu. Press the On/Standby button to put the
radio in Standby mode. It should then display the time as obtained from the
Internet. If the time display is not correct for any reason, it can easily be adjusted
later, see page 94, 'Manually setting the clock'.

If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your radio 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 22 onwards.
Changing the network connection
In the sections above, you chose how your radio would be connected to your network, either using a WiFi
connection or using a wired Ethernet cable. From time to time, you may find that you need to connect to
different computer networks. The Internet setup menu allows you to change your radio’s network settings,
scan for an alternative wireless network, or to manually configure the network parameters.
The steps outlined below describe how you can do this - see also the section 'Network profiles' on page 111.
If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 22.
Configuring the radio 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 Menu Up or Down buttons to the desired network
name. Press the Select button 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 16-17). By default the radio
will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.
Configuring the radio to use the wired Ethernet connection
2. Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ-45 socket (marked LAN)
at the back of the unit. 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 to the '[Wired]' option using the
Menu Up or Down buttons. Press the Select button to select this.
The radio 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 your router using DHCP.

Manual network configuration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic configuration, or if your network is configured with a hidden
SSID, then you will need to enter some network settings manually. (Note - a hidden SSID may prevent casual
observers from detecting your network, but it is not recommended as a means of network security.)
1. From the radios Network settings menu, select 'Manual settings'. You must then choose whether to
connect using 'Wired' or 'Wireless' connections. If you choose 'Wireless' there are as many as nine
settings screens, shown by the '1 of 9' progress marker in the top right corner of the display. If you
choose 'Wired' there are five screens and the progress marker will reflect this, although the steps to
set up the network parameters are basically the same.
2. The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to configure your network parameters (IP address,
subnet mask, gateway address, etc.). Unless you are familiar with networking and related terminology,
we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose 'DHCP enable' unless you need to specify
the network details manually.
If you have chosen 'Wired' and then 'DHCP enable', your radio should now establish a connection to
the router using the Ethernet cable. Please skip to step 11 on page 21.
If you chose 'Wireless' and 'DHCP enable', please skip to step 6 on page 20 in order to set up the
wireless connection details.
If you chose 'DHCP disable' for either connection method, the next step is to set up the IP address.
3. The manually specified IP address should be chosen to be compatible with the settings in your router
and must be a unique address on your network. If you are using DHCP for some devices and static
(manually configured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside the range that
the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the first three groups of digits will be the same for all
devices on your network. To enter the IP address, press the Menu Up or Down buttons to set the
value for each group of digits and then press the Select button or the Left or Right buttons (on the
remote control) to enter the value and to move on to the next group. When the IP address has been
entered, the subnet mask should be entered. The subnet mask defines which parts of the IP address
are common across your network. For most small networks the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0
and this is entered in the same way.
4. The Gateway address is normally the IP address of the router through which the radio connects to the
internet and is entered in the same way as the previous addresses.
