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).
A wireless 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 congured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (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 internet radio will typically work within a 10-20
metre radio from your wireless access point. The actual range achieved will
depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless network, 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 DDR-62 has a stylish touch panel instead of conventional buttons.
To operate the buttons simply touch the button area with the tip of a
nger 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 nd at rst 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 nd the optimum touch needed to control
your radio. The panel may be cleaned using a dry cloth. Do not use
abrasives, cleaning uids or solvents.
Remote control functions
Most of the functions of the DDR-62 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
CD track access by numbers
Audio mute
DAB/FM auto-tune
CD/iPod random function
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 nger held on the remote controlbutton for 2-3 seconds until the
display on the radio shows that the command has been accepted.
Network remote control options
Network Pin setup (Pin number)
Your radio has the option of being controlled by an application installed
on an Apple iPhone/ iPod touch/ iPod or Android smartphones/tablet.
The Pin number facility allows you to ensure that your radio can only be
controlled by your own device rather than someone else’s.
Details of how this feature can be used with your Apple and Android
device are explained in the separate sheet available from the Sangean
website. The remote control application is called iSangean ( ) and is
available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Keep network connected
By default, your radio will shut down its WiFi connection when it is in
standby. This minimizes power consumption but it does mean that you
will need to switch that radio on manually in order to use the remote
control software.
If you need to be able to remotely control the radio even when it has
been put into standby, make sure you choose to keep the network
connected by setting "YES" in the ‘Keep network connected’ option in
the network setting menu. In the standby mode display either the WiFi
signal indicator is shown with or without a cross through it according to
the chosen network settings.

Navigation controls
This page describes the basic means of controlling your DDR-62 internet radio. Instructions for
each operating mode are given in the later section of this book.
Although controls on the Internet radio are shown, all functions are also available using the
remote control.

Pressing the Standby button brings your radio out of Standby mode. Pressing Standby while
the radio is in use will cause it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display.
Pressing the Radio button gives you access to each of the operating modes in turn: Internet
Radio, DAB+ radio, FM radio and Auxiliary Input.
Pressing the Media button gives you access to each of the operating modes in turn: CD, USB
memory device, SD cards, iPod and Music player.
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 le being played.
Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. Highlight the menu item
using the Tuning Up or Tuning Down buttons on the touch panel (alternatively, the Folder Up
or Folder Down buttons on the remote control handset). Press the Select button to select that
item. If there are more than ve 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.
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.

Conguration
Connecting your radio to your computer network
Place your radio on a at 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.
If you wish to use a wired network connection, plug the Ethernet cable into the socket at the
back of the radio.
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.
When you apply power, the display on the radio will light up and say: ‘WELCOME’ and
‘STARTING’ with a progress indicator. The rst time that you use your radio (or after 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. 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.
Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the touch panel (Alternatively, the Folder Up or Down
buttons on the remote control handset) 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.

Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the touch panel (Alternatively, the Folder Up or
Down buttons on the remote control handset) 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 rst 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 the section of
‘Manually setting the clock’). Press the Select button to conrm your choice.
Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the touch panel (Folder Up or Down buttons on the
remote control handset) to highlight the time zone which is applicable to your location. Press
the Select button to enter the setting.
You will then need to set the Daylight Savings option according to your location (Daylight
Savings is also known as Summer/Winter time). Press the Folder Up or Down buttons on the
remote control handset 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 conrm the setting.
The display will then show a list of WiFi regional options for the network set up. Press the
TuningUp or Down buttons on the touch panel (Alternatively, the Folder Up or Down buttons
on the remote control handset) 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.
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 conguration). Press the Folder
Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset to point to the “[Wired]’ menu item. Press
the Select button and the radio will attempt to connect.

GB
If your network allows automatic conguration (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.
There are two indicator lights incorporated into the 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 ilnk
If your network does not support automatic conguration or if you wish to set it up manually then
you should select ‘[Manual cong]’ instead of selecting ‘[Wired]’ in the Network Wizard.

If you plan to use a WiFi connection, you will rst 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 nds 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 Proteced Setup, then
‘[WPS]’ will be shown in front of the SSID. It is possible, and in some locations highly likely,
that your radio will nd more than one wireless network, in which case you should choose
which one you need to connect to.
Press the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset (alternatively, Tuning Up
or Down buttons on the touch panel) 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.

13
If your network is not found, it may be because the router is congured not to broadcast the
SSID. You should then use the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset and
Select buttons to highlight and select the ‘[Manual cong]’ option in order to enter the network
details manually. This is described in ‘Manual Network Conguration”. If your network name
is being broad cast, 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.
When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to is highlighted on the
screen, press the Select button. If WiFi Pretected 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
identicationnumber). ‘Push Button’ – the display prompts you to press the WPS button on
your routerand 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 identication
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. ‘Skip WPS’ – if you
wish to enter the encryptionkey yourself (or if it was previously Entered). If you choose Push
Button or PIN the screen will then show ‘Connecting…’ and then ‘Setup wizard completed’.
Press the Select button to exit setup wizard.
If your network is congured 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.
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.

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.
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 an 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 nal character
of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, highlight the ‘ ’ symbol and press the Select
button. Then 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.
Once you have connected your radio to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will
display the main menu. Press the 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 ‘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.

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 nd 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 congure
the network parameters. The steps outlined below describe how you can do this – see also the
section ‘Network Proles’.
Conguring 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 Folder Up or Down buttons on
the remote control panel 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. By default the
radio will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.
Conguring the radio to use the wired Ethernet connection
2. Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the socket (marked
LAN) at the back of the unit. From the Network settings menu select ‘Network Wizard’. This will
preset you the details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list to the ‘[Wired]’
option using the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control handset. 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.

16
GB
From the radio 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 ve screens and the progress marker will
reect this, although the steps to set up the network parameters are basically the same.
The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to congure 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 setp11. If you chose ‘Wireless’ and ‘DHCP enable’, please skip to step
6 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.
The manually specied 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 congured) 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 Folder 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 denes 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.
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.
Manual network conguration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic conguration, or if your network is congured 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 is not recommended as a means
of network security.)

In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same
IP address as your router. In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero. To enter the
DNS address, press the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control 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. Repeat this until all
eight groups of digits have been entered. If you previously specied ‘Wired’ and then ‘DHCP
disable’, your radio should now connect to the router using the Ethernet cable (in which case
skip to step 11).
If you specied ‘Wireless’, the next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the
name of the wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password.
To enterthe SSID, characters are selected and entered using the Folder Up or Down, Left
or Right on the remote control and Select buttons. The radio scrolls through the available
characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character currently highlighted will be
entered when you press theSelect button.
Do this as needed until the complete network name has been entered. The SSID setting is
sensitive to upper and lower case characters and symbols. You must enter it exactly as set up
in your router. 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 Folder Up or Down
and Select buttons on the remote control as needed:
select ‘ ’ to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue
select ‘ ’ when the complete SSID has been entered
select ‘ ’ to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen
Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your
wireless network. This should be the same as specied in your router settings. If your network
does not use encryption, then select the ‘Open’ option. Your radio should then connect to the
network, so skip to step 11. If your network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the
‘Pre-Shared Key’ option then go to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi
Protected Access) – see step 9.
If you chose ‘Pre-Shared Key’ in step 7, you should then choose the WEP option. The
key should be entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. The key will be 10
characters long for 64-bit encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. The radio
willaccept lower-case letters a-f as equivalent to upper-case A-F. Spaces or special symbols
are not permitted in WEP keys.

WPA and WPA2 are similar, although WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Whichever
you selected in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are TKIP (Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As previously, the setting
should match that used by your router. Some routers allow both to be specified, and the
router will use whichever variant is supported by the connected device. AES is regarded as
the more secure option if it is available.
The radio will then require you to enter the encryption key. This must be a string of between 8

Internet Radio
Internet Radio – the basics
Before you can use your radio to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it
is necessary to have connected it to your computer network using either
the wireless (WiFi) connection or the wired Ethernet connection located
on the back of the unit.
There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via
the internet as well ‘Podcasts’. Your radio provides several ways of
searching for broadcasts in order to make nding and choosing them
easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you may
either store them as presets within the radio, or add them to a list of
your favorite stations which your radio can access. The number of
presets is limited (there are ten presets on the radio), but you can store
as many favorites as you like.
You may search for an internet radio station by Location. If you know the
name of the station and the country from which a station is broadcast
this may be the easiest method to nd a station. It is also a great way to
experience radio from other parts of the world. You may also search for
an internet radio station by Genre.
If you prefer a particular type of music, Blues for example, you may
search for a radio station that broadcasts that type of music, and you
can choose from a list of Blues radio stations regardless of location, or
taking location into account.
If you know part of the name of an internet radio station, you can enter
it into the radio and it will search for stations that match that name. This
can be helpful if you are unsure of the location or genre of a particular
station.
The DDR-62 radio connects to a radio station database which serves
many users in many countries. This means that there is a very wide
range of program content available. You can also search for stations
which have been recently added to those available (new stations) or
you can search for the most popular.
