2. Briefly press the On/Off button to turn your Raumfeld Connector ^2 on.
3. Connect the analogue output of the Raumfeld Connector ^2 to the amplifier's AUX- or CD input using one of the RCA cables provided.

→ Alternatively you can connect the digital output of the Raumfeld Connector ^2 to the digital input of the amplifier using an optical cable (S/PDIF).

1. If you want to use your CD or MP3 player to play music back through the Raumfeld System, connect the player to the analogue audio input of the Raumfeld Connector ^2 using one of the RCA cables provided.

Do you own a Raumfeld Base?

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.

Adding to an existing system

Should you wish to add the Raumfeld Connector ^2 to a system that has already been set up, follow these instructions:

1. Take the Raumfeld Controller and switch it on, OR start the Raumfeld Controller App on your smart phone or tablet.
2. Go to "Settings > Room configuration". Then select "Add room > Raumfeld Connector".
3. Follow the instructions on the display to connect the device to your Raumfeld system, and to assign a room name to them.

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 automatically 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 Raumfeld 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. Alternatively, 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 memories).

In all cases it is necessary to add the shared file under "Settings > Music resources" as a music resource.

For more detailed assistance on sharing music on your network, please visit http://manual.raumfeld.com.

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?

→ Tuneln 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.

Question 3: My Raumfeld Connector ^2 does not appear under "Line In". What could be the reason for this?

→ Raumfeld playback devices are only displayed on the Controller or in the Raumfeld App under the application "Line In" if they are ready to transmit an analogue audio signal to other rooms. The following requirements must be fulfilled:

• The device needs to be set up and connected to the Raumfeld system (both LEDs light up).
• The device is being run in "streaming" mode. You can find related instructions in the online manual.

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 Raumfeld 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 using the Raumfeld App

Question 1: The App does not connect to the Raumfeld system during setup. What can I do?

1. First check if all system requirements are in place.
2. Make sure that the smart phone or tablet with the App installed is connected to your Wi-Fi router.
3. After that, remove all Raumfeld devices from power supply. Delete the App and reinstall it. Restart your Wi-Fi router as well by temporarily disconnecting it from power supply.
4. Then start the setup from the beginning. When being prompted „Do you own a Raumfeld Base?“, carefully check if your order contains a Raumfeld Base (also see page 11) and choose the appropriate path in the setup wizard.
5. If the App still fails to connect with the Raumfeld system, it could be because of compatibility problems with your router. You can avoid this problem if, during installation, you interpose a standard network switch (about EUR 10, available at electronic shops) between your router and the Raumfeld device you would like to install first. In this case, please also inform our customer service.

Question 2: When can I remove the network cable after setting up the device with the Raumfeld App?

You can remove the network cable as soon as the setup wizard of the App has finished, and the home screen is displayed.

Question 3: The App does not react any longer. What can I do?

• Devices with Android OS: Go to the device settings and select the Raumfeld App under „Apps“. Choose „Clear data“ and restart the Raumfeld app subsequently from the device’s app menu.
• Devices with iOS: Close the Raumfeld App. Then, double-push the Home button of the iOS device. A bar containing four app symbols will appear on the bottom of the screen. Press and hold the Raumfeld symbol on this bar until a minus sign appears. Briefly tap the symbol to clear it from the bar, then restart the app from the device's main menu.

Installation with the Raumfeld Controller

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 beginning. When being prompted „Do you own a Raumfeld Base?“, care-

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.

Question 2: The Controller does not react any longer. How can I restart 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.

Should the Controller still not react, the battery may need to be recharged

Resetting

Question 1: Can I reset the system and start installation from the beginning?

→ If the Controller or the App are connected to your Raumfeld system, you can restart the setup wizard by resetting the „Controller configuration“ under „Settings > System maintenance > Reset“.

If the Controller or the App are not connected to the system, a help option will appear after a short time, offering a possibility to reset.

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.

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 Raumfeld system. In a system with a Raumfeld 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 Raumfeld Base.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 4: Music from my media server is displayed unreliably and playback keeps being interrupted. What can I do?

→ With certain music servers, compatibility 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 interrupted, it is mostly due to Wi-Fi connection 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 Raumfeld online manual in chapter "Network analysis".
