Overview – the Rotel internet radio tuners/

digital gateway products.

This Rotel product brings together conventional radio reception facilities

for FM and DAB+, plus from the world of computers the ability to access

literally thousands of radio stations available on the internet. In addition

to this, this new range of Rotel tuners/digital gateways offers the facility

to interface with your music ﬁles stored on a network server.

Note: The internet radio and network server features will not operate

without a local area network.

These notes expand on the detailed instructions later in this manual.

DAB and FM radio

This is the most conventional part of the product and if you have previous

experience of tuning, memorizing and selecting radio stations from the

present DAB+ and FM radio services you will be familiar with the way

the tuner is operated to receive these services. All of this is explained

under the relevant sections. Keep in mind to select the antenna (aerial)

input socket to use, ﬁnd this option in the set-up menu. This does not

obviate the need to install correctly designed antenna (aerials) to maximise

reception on FM and DAB+ services.

Internet radio

Using internet radio requires the use of two additional services – access

to the internet via a computer network and once this works a feed via

one of the internet-based services which allows access to internet radio

stations. This latter requirement is built into the tuner; we will deal with

access to your network ﬁrst.

Network access

The installation of computer networks are beyond the scope of these

notes, so we assume that you have a working LAN or Wi-Fi network

in your home.

At start-up, the unit looks for Wi-Fi networks, and once the search has

been completed you will ﬁnd one or more listed networks listed in the

display to choose from. You need to select the network name which

applies to your installation. This will have been assigned when your

network was installed and is often pre-allocated by the router central

to your network.

The next requirement is to enable your tuner to ‘log-on’ to your network

and you allow this by entering the wireless ‘WEP key’ (or WPA, WPA2

key) appropriate to your network. It is likely that you will have used the

key code when setting up a computer to log onto your network and it

is often contained in the instructions for your router. This is a ﬁrst-time

only setting, so just carefully scroll though the alpha-numeric characters

selecting the correct upper or lower case characters to create your WEP

key. When completed, scroll through to and select END or press the

REPLY key on the front panel or remote, to complete the process.

You can use the UP and DOWN keys of the remote to help you enter this

information. Do not confuse the letter ‘O’ with the numeral ‘0’.

When successfully logged on to your network, the tuner will automatically

world that interests you and choose radio stations by country, genre

and name.

Registering the radio at www.rotelradio.com will allow you to search for

and save internet radio stations, as well as set up other music services

when available for your region.

The Rotelradio website – managing your stations

Managing the thousands of radio stations available via the internet would

be impossible without being able to organise and manage stations to suit

your particular needs. Rotel have provided an easy way to accomplish this

by means of a dedicated website where you can pre-select stations.

The URL for this site is http://rotelradio.com.

Like many websites you will need to register a user name and password

in order to create an account on the site. Before you can do so, you will

need to register the product on the site and there is a special registration

key in the Rotel which you will need to copy to the website registration

form. This registration key will be found under the settings>register

menu. You need to be connected to the internet to access this one time

only key.

After registration, the website will show the radio serial number of your

Rotel unit. This is different from the serial number of your Rotel unit. The

radio serial number can be found in the menu of the Rotel unit under

Settings --> Version.

Note that to update the display of the Rotel to indicate your choices, you

will need to power-cycle and re-select ‘internet radio’. Your new list of

‘My Stuff’ will be updated automatically.

Playback from network servers

Music playback from computers conﬁgured as music servers provides

another opportunity to link replay via the Rotel unit and thus make use of

the audiophile decoding stages designed into these products.

As with internet radio, a prerequisite is a working network, plus the music

server connected to it. A server will have been conﬁgured to share ﬁles

and two methods of achieving this with appropriate software are shown

under ‘Media Player’ section later in this manual.
