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
log in to the website where you to be able to select the area of the
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.
