6. Before Getting Started
Screens
The screen shows various menus, dialogues and
displays, as described below.
There are basically six types of screen:
• Standby
• Splash / temporary (e.g. changing modes)
• Now playing
• Dialogue
• Error/Information
• Menu
When text is too long to fit on the screen, it is first
shown truncated, then, after a few seconds, slowly
scrolls so that you can read it all. The Standby screen
shows the time, date and any active alarm times. As
you cycle through the play modes by pressing the
Mode button the WLD+ 201 shows a splash screen for
each mode.
After one second, the WLD+ 201 enters the selected
mode and tries to start playing the last station or track
that was playing in that mode. If this is not possible,
the WLD+ 201 tries to connect to the selected source
by scanning for stations, networks, or prompting for
user input as appropriate.
Now playing screens show information about the
audio source and track now playing, where available.
Dialogue screens are shown to allow the user to
change settings. They vary in complexity from simple
Yes/No options up to the scrollable network password
input screen. As with menus, the selected item is
shown with a
white background.
Dialogue screens mark the current setting with an
asterisk (*).
Error/Information screens give specific messages
for a few seconds, then change automatically to
another screen.
Page | 14 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1.0 Rev 0.0
Menus
The WLD+ 201 has basically three types of menu. Use
the Select control to step through and select options.
A scroll bar on the right of the screen shows if there
are further options above or below those visible.
Each mode has a Mode menu, with options specific to
that mode. For example, the FM mode menu has just
two options: Scan setting and Audio setting.
In addition, each mode menu has two final options:
System settings > and Main menu >.
The ‘>’ indicates options leading to further menus.
The System settings menu allows access to system
settings and information such as network, time,
language and software update. Menus with more
options than will fit on one screen have a scroll bar to
the right. The Main menu allows access to all modes
plus sleep and timer functions.
The Main menu allows access to all modes plus sleep
and timer functions.
Some menus, for example the System settings menu,
have several submenus. See the Modes and menu
overview map on page 15.

7. Getting Started
Although the Sansui WLD+ 201 is sophisticated, getting
started is simple. After connecting your system to the
speakers, to play DAB or FM radio, all you need is a
power source (a 220~240 V mains supply).
For Music Player mode, you need either a USB stick
containing compatible music files or a wired or
wireless Ethernet network and a UPnP music server
(e.g. a PC or a network attached storage (NAS) drive
containing your music library). For Internet-connected
modes such as Internet radio you also need a
broadband Internet connection.
Setup wizard
When the WLD+ 201 is started for the first time, it runs
through a setup wizard to configure settings for
date/time and network. Once this has finished, the
system is ready to use in most modes.
Note: To change these settings later, select
Menu > System settings >.
To run the setup wizard again, select
Menu > System settings > Setup wizard.
Select Yes to start the setup wizard.
If you choose No, the next screen asks if you would like
to run the wizard next time The WLD+ 201 is started.
The system then starts without configuring time/date
and network settings and enters the Main Menu.
Note: If power is removed while the wizard is in
progress, the wizard will run again next time the WLD+
201 is started.
12/24 hour display
To change between 12 and 24 hour display, select Set
12/24 hour and then select your preference.
Time/date
The time and date can be updated manually or
automatically. With auto-update, the time and date
are automatically synchronised with external clocks.
Auto-update is generally more accurate.
Auto-update
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. DAB and FM use time signals
broadcast with radio transmissions.
Network uses a time signal sent from the vTuner
Internet radio portal when in any network connected
mode.
1. Select Update from DAB, Update from FM,
Update from Network or No update.
2. If you are updating from the network, set
your time zone.
3. If your country uses daylight saving, the
automatically updated time from the
network may be wrong by one hour. When
daylight savings are in effect (during the
winter), turn on the Daylight savings option
to rectify this. Note that if you are updating
the time from DAB or FM, the Daylight
savings option has no effect on the clock’s
time. The WLD+ 201 will auto-update from
the selected source when time information is
available.
Page | 17 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1.0 Rev 0.0
Manual set
If you set No update, the wizard now prompts you to
set the time and date manually. The date and time
are displayed as dd-mm-yyyy and hh:mm AM/PM with
the first value, dd, active (flashing).
Adjust each value with the Select control. As each
value is set, the next value becomes active and
flashes.
Network
The WLD+ 201 is compatible with all common network
protocols and encryption methods, including Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS).
To connect the WLD+ 201 to your network, you need
one of the following:
-A wired router and an Ethernet (RJ45
network) cable
-A Wi-Fi wireless router, together with
password key if set
Select WLAN region/country (for the UK choose Most
of Europe) > Wi-Fi network (SSID), and then select a
network from the list. To connect to a wired network,
select [Wired], after ensuring that the Ethernet cable
from the wired router is connected to the Ethernet
socket of the WLD+201. If the network is open (non-
encrypted), WLD+ 201 connects immediately (see
Completion below).
Standard encrypted network
To enter the network’s key (password), use the Select
control to move the cursor through the characters
and press Select. As each character is selected, the
key is built up near the top of the display. There are
three options accessible by turning Select back
before the first characters (0123…) – Backspace, OK
and Cancel.
WPS encrypted network
WPS encrypted networks are identified by ‘[WPS]’ at
the start of the network name, and have three
methods of connection. Select one and follow the
prompts:
-Push Button >
The WLD+ 201 prompts you to press the connect
button on the router. It then scans for a ready
Push Button Connect network and connects.
-Pin > (code number)
The WLD+ 201 generates an 8-digit code number
which you enter into the wireless router, access
point, or an external registrar (e.g. advanced
versions of Windows Vista).
-Skip WPS >
Enter key as for a standard encrypted network,
above.
For more information on setting up a WPS encrypted
network, see your WPS router’s instructions.
Page | 18 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1.0 Rev 0.0
Completion
The WLD+ 201 attempts to connect to the selected
network.
If connecting fails, the WLD+ 201 returns to a previous
screen to try again.
If the network connection is lost, the WLD+ 201 will
automatically attempt to reconnect.
If network connection is successful the Connected
screen will appear.
Upon completion of the process the Setup Wizard
confirms connection and setup up has been
successful
Page | 19 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1.0 Rev 0.0
Network
The WLD+201remembers the last four wireless networks
it has connected to, and automatically tries to
connect to whichever one of them it can find.
You can see the list of registered networks through
Menu > System settings > Network > Network profile >.
From here you can delete unwanted networks by
turning and pressing Select then confirming delete
Yes.
There are also other options for viewing and manually
altering network settings from
Menu > System settings > Network >
(for example setting up a wired network).
Users experienced with networking may find these
options useful for diagnosing and fixing network
problems.
Language
The default language is English. To change, select
Menu > System settings >Language >
then select your language.
Page | 20 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1.0 Rev 0.0
Setting up a music server
In order for the WLD+201 to play music files from a
computer, the computer must be set up to share files
or media.
UPnP media sharing allows devices like the
WLD+201 to play music from a shared media library,
navigating 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 a UPnP media server,
but there are add-ons available (such as Allegro Media
Server™ for Macintosh or PC) to work with an iTunes library.
Alternatively if you are a PC user simply install and run
Windows Media Player (10 or later) and add your iTunes library
to the media library in Windows Media Player. You will be able
to continue to use iTunes as your primary source of music
library management and Windows Media Player will update
automatically making your music always available on the
WLD+201.
Sharing media with Windows Media Player
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media
Player (10 or later). Alternatively, other UPnP platforms
and servers may be used. To set up WMP for media
sharing, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
2. Ensure that the WLD+201 is powered on and
connected to the same network.
3. In WMP, add to the media library the audio files
and folders you want to share with The WLD+201
(Library > Add to Library…).
4. In WMP, enable media sharing by right clicking
on the Library and then selecting Media
sharing…)
5. In the next dialogue box you’ll see the WLD+201
displayed. Click on the icon representing the
WLD+201 and then click Allow
Your newly shared media library will now be listed
under Music Player > Shared Media on the WLD+201
Note: The WMP UPnP service runs in the background; there is
no need to start WMP explicitly each time.
