Getting started
Connecting the adapter to the Hi-Fi equipment
Connect one end of the supplied RCA cable (C) to the AUDIO OUT L (6) and AUDIO OUT R (7) sockets of the
adapter and the other end to the RCA audio input of your Hi-Fi equipment. Alternatively you can use an optical
S/PDIF cable (not supplied) to connect the S/PDIF (8) socket of the adapter to the optical S/PDIF input (if any) of
your Hi-Fi equipment. To finish, select the corresponding input on your Hi-fi system. See also the User Manual for your
Hi-fi system.
Switching the adapter on
Connect the adapter to the supplied power adapter (B) and then connect the power adapter (B) to an easily
accessible power socket. Toggle the power switch (12) located on the back panel of the unit to “ON”. The green and
blue LEDs go on simultaneously. After initialising, the blue LED flashes slowly. The adapter is now in AP mode.
Establishing the Wi-Fi connection
There are 2 ways to connect the adapter (A) to the existing network of your router via Wi-Fi: either by pressing the
WPS button (5) or by downloading the "SilverCrest Smart-Audio" control app for free from the Apple®App Store or
from the Google®Play Store. In both cases, when establishing the connection for the first time, make sure to place the
adapter (A) as close as possible to the router to achieve an optimum Wi-Fi signal transmission. Then install the
adapter (A) within the Wi-Fi signal range.
Please note that a maximum of 16 multiroom devices can be connected to a network. Furthermore the multiroom
devices and your smartphone/tablet must be connected to the same network.
Establishing the Wi-Fi connection via WPS
If your router features a WPS button, the easiest way to connect the adapter (A) to the network is using this button.
Place the power switch (12) in "ON" position to go to connection mode. After a brief initialisation period
(green and blue LEDs on simultaneously, then one LED briefly lights up green) only the blue LED flashes slowly.

SilverCrest SMRA 5.0 A1
English - 15
If the LED does not flash, the adapter must be reset: Press and hold the RESET button for approx. 5 seconds to
restart the device.
Next press the WPS button on your router and confirm the connection by pressing the WPS button (5) on the
adapter (A) front panel.
See the operating instructions for your router.
The adapter (A) establishes a network connection. The blue LED flashes 3 times fast, followed by a short pause.
After the connection has been established, the blue LED goes on.
Now the adapter (A) can play audio signals from the network.
The adapter (A) will save the connection data, so the next time you switch it on you don't need to re-establish
the connection again.
Establishing the WiFi connection via the SilverCrest Smart-Audio App
The following contains some important instructions for setting up your device. A detailed, up-to-date description of the
SilverCrest Smart-Audio App with plenty of screenshots can be found online. You can find the relevant internet links in
the “QR codes” chapter.
Setting up a device
If you cannot establish a connection using WPS, you can use the SilverCrest Smart-Audio App to connect your device
to the network.
Power on the device and start AP mode. The AP mode lets you configure and connect your device to the WiFi
network.
When you use it for the first time, the device starts in AP mode. Otherwise, hold the RESET button for
approx. 5 seconds to restart the device. After a brief initialisation period (green and blue LEDs on
simultaneously, then one LED briefly lights up green) only the blue LED flashes slowly and the adapter
is in AP mode.
Start the SilverCrest Smart-Audio App and select “Set up audio system”. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect
the device to your WiFi network.
After setup is finished, you can add more existing WiFi devices to the network in the same way, if you have any.
