In the beginning of the setup wizard you are asked if you own a Raumfeld Base.
Please check carefully if your order contains a „Raumfeld Base“. The Base is an
optional Raumfeld component which is recommended to be used as Wi-Fi access
point in a multiroom setup. You can easily recognize the Base by its two antennas
and three LEDs.
In a system with Raumfeld Base your other Raumfeld devices will be connected to
the Wi-Fi network provided by the Raumfeld Base.
In a system without a Raumfeld Base your Raumfeld devices will be connected to
your own Wi-Fi network.
Do you own a Raumfeld Base?

Integrating Your Music Collection
There are several possibilities for you to
integrate your music collection into the
Raumfeld system.
Copying music onto the
Raumfeld Base
If you have a Raumfeld Base, you
can save your music collection on the
internal hard drive of the Base.
When connected with your local
network, the Base appears as a
shared folder in your file management
programme:
• In your Windows® Explorer, you
can find the Raumfeld Base under
“Network”,
• and in the Mac OS Finder in the
sidebar under “Shared”.
Simply use your file management
programme to copy music onto the Base.
After your music collection has been
copied onto the Raumfeld Base, it auto-
matically appears under “My music”,
without any further configuration.
Copying music onto a USB
memory
Copy your music collection onto a USB
key or a USB drive, and connect it to the
host of your Raumfeld system. To find out
which device is the host of your Raum-
feld system, go to “Settings > Network >
Host configuration”.
Your music collection appears without
further configuration shortly after you
have plugged the USB memory into the
host of your Raumfeld system.
Sharing music on your
network
Music that has been shared on the
network can easily be integrated into
the Raumfeld system. There are various
ways of sharing music on your network:
• You can share music files that are
saved on a PC via media sharing in
the Windows Media Player. Alter-
natively, you can use another media
server software for your PC.
• If you prefer not to use any media
server software, or have a Mac,
you can share the music file through
file sharing.
• A network storage device allows
you to share music on your network
even while the computer is switched
off (for example NAS or network
router with integrated hard drive /
connection facility for USB memo-
ries).
In all cases it is necessary to add the
shared file under “Settings > Music
resources” as a music resource.

music on your network, please visit

Frequently Asked Questions
You can find a full list of frequently asked
questions as well as a detailed online
manual online at:
http://manual.raumfeld.com.
General questions
Question 1: Where can I find internet
radio?
≥ TuneIn offers you free access to a
wide range of internet radio stations
from all over the world.
For radio stations which are tailored
specifically to your own taste of music,
try the music service Last.fm (registration
is required but allows you a non-binding
test period and 30 free music titles).
Question 2: Can I try out the music
services Napster and simfy?
≥ The music services Napster and simfy
each offer a 30-day test period of their
premium service, during which you can
listen to all titles available from that
provider in full and for free. The test
period is absolutely non-binding, you do
not enter into any obligation. For simfy,
you need to register to make use of the
test period, while Napster offers an
anonymous test period.
System requirements
Question 1: What system requirements
need to be in place?
• Your Wi-Fi router must have DHCP
enabled.
• IP-addresses should be distributed
to new devices automatically.
If this is not the case, look into the
administration software of your
router and make sure all Raum-
feld devices are assigned a fixed IP
address.
• If you are setting up a system
without the Raumfeld Base (see
page 11), your Raumfeld devices
are connected with your own Wi-Fi
network. In this case, your Wi-Fi
router needs to transmit in the
frequency band 2.4 GHz (802.11g)
and has to be WPA/WPA2-
encrypted or unencrypted.
• If you are setting up a system with
the Raumfeld Base, make sure that
your router is connected to the
network socket of the Base on the
right, the one which is labelled
“ROUTER”.
Installation
Question 1: The Controller does not
connect to the Raumfeld system during
setup. What can I do?
1. First check if all system requirements
are in place.
2. Then remove all Raumfeld devices
from power supply. Switch off
the Controller by holding the on/
off key pressed down (at least 10
seconds). Restart your Wi-Fi router
by temporarily disconnecting it from
power supply.
3. Then start the setup from the begin-
ning. When being prompted „Do
you own a Raumfeld Base?“, care-

15
Frequently Asked Questions
fully check if your order contains a
Raumfeld Base (also see page 11)
and choose the appropriate path in
the setup wizard.
Problem solving
Question 1: My Controller doesn‘t react.
How can I reboot it?
≥ When the Controller no longer reacts
to finger touch or turning the volume
control:
1. First switch off the device by pushing
and holding the On/Off button for at
least 10 seconds.
2. Now, briefly press the On/Off
button. After approximately two
seconds the Raumfeld Logo is
displayed and the Controller is
started.
Question 2: Can I reset the system and
start installation from the beginning?
≥ If the Controller is connected to your
Raumfeld system, you can restart the
setup wizard by resetting the „Controller
configuration“ under „Settings > System
maintenance > Reset“.
If the Controller is not connected to the
system, a help option will appear after a
short time, offering a possibility to reset.
WiFi Connection
The wireless connection of my Controller
is constantly low or breaks out altogether.
What can I do?
≥ Should the wireless connection of the
Controller drop below 50% in various
rooms throughout your house, you
should take action to improve reception.
In a system with the Raumfeld Base (see
also page 11) the devices are generally
connected to the Base’s Wi-Fi network.
If the signal of your own Wi-Fi router is
much better throughout your house than
that of the Raumfeld Base, it is advis-
able to connect the Controller to your own
Wi-Fi router. Instructions on this topic can
be found in our online manual. If both the
signal from the Base as well as the signal
from your personal access point is low, we
recommend the use of a generic wireless
repeater to improve the signal strength.
Setting up music resources
Question 1: The Raumfeld Base does
not appear under “Network” in the
Windows Explorer. What can I do?
≥ Enter \\Raumfeld Base into the
address line of your Windows Explorer
(not Internet Explorer!).
Should that not work enter the IP
address of the Raumfeld Base into the
address bar, e.g. \\192.168.0.15.
Question 2: The Raumfeld Base does
not appear under “File sharing” in the
Mac OS Finder. What can I do?
≥ Open the menu item “Go > Connect
to server...” in the Finder. Then enter
smb://base.local into the field “Server
address” and confirm the dialog box
that appears afterwards.

16
Frequently Asked Questions
Question 3: My USB memory device
is not recognised as a music resource.
What could be the reason for this?
≥ USB memory devices are only
included as a music resource if they
are connected to the host of the Raum-
feld system. In a system with a Raum-
feld Base (see page 11), this is the Base.
In a system without Raumfeld Base, you
can specify the device you would like to
act as host under “Settings > Network >
Host configuration”. Please also note that
USB hard drives which are connected
to a Raumfeld playback device need
to have their own power supply. This
restriction does not apply to the Raum-
feld Base.
Question 4: Music from my media server
is displayed unreliably and playback
keeps being interrupted. What can I do?
≥ With certain music servers, compatibi-
lity problems can arise. In order to avoid
such problems quickly, we recommend
you include the content of the media
server via file sharing (see also page
13). In this case, please also inform our
customer service team.
Music playback interruption
Question 1: The music playback keeps
being interrupted. What could be the
reason for this?
≥ If music playback is frequently inter-
rupted, it is mostly due to Wi-Fi connec-
tion problems between your wirelessly
connected playback devices and the
Raumfeld Base, or your Wi-Fi router,
respectively.
You can find instructions on how to
improve the signal strength in the Raum-
feld online manual in chapter “Network
anal ysis”.
