PiXiS RS's defining feature is its 3.5 inch colour touchscreen, which puts you in direct contact with the radio's many functions.
PiXiS RS's controls are very intuitive, so should require little explanation. The graphical representation of features and the ability to directly touch words and buttons to activate them should feel natural after just a few minutes of use.
To get you started, the following two pages aim to offer a summary of what you can expect to see in the different areas of your radio's screen and provide an outline of how to find your way around.
Home Screen
Your first point of contact with PiXiS RS's interface is the home screen. We think the various modes will be fairly self-explanatory and easy to find but here we offer a short description of the function of each of the homepage icons.
Gently press an icon to access the relevant mode.
Alarms
PiXiS RS's alarms allow you to wake up to any of the audio modes or a buzzer. Alarms are fully confi gurable to specify dates, recurrence, volume etc. See page 18 - 19.
Sleep
The Sleep setting allows you to set PIXIS RS to automatically switch itself into standby mode. See page 19 for further information.
Internet Radio
Internet Radio mode allows you to access tens of thousands of online radio stations and podcasts from around the World. As long as you have a wireless internet connection, you don't even need a computer to use this mode. Details on page 11.
DAB Radio
As well as high-sensitivity DAB reception, PiXiS RS is future-proofed to provide coverage of DAB+ broadcasts where available. See page 6 for further information.
Network Audio / Network Music Player
PIXiS RS's network music player mode "Network Audio" lets you stream audio files across your network from PC or Mac. This turns PIXiS RS into a multi-room system for your existing music collection. See page 15.
FM Radio
PiXiS RS includes the ability to receive FM broadcasts, including RDS data. Very handy if you take your radio outside a DAB reception area. See page 9 for further information.
Settings
The Settings menu provides you with controls to tailor the setup of your PIXIS RS. For example, time settings, audio EQ, and display brightness can be controlled from here. See page 20 for details.
Second-Level Navigation
After you've clicked an option on the home screen to enter one of the modes, the layout of the screen will change slightly.
While each mode looks unique to a certain extent, depending on the information to be displayed, there are several features in common throughout the system.
When using any of PiXiS RS's modes, you'll notice at the foot of the screen are one or two rows of contextual menu buttons. These are your main means of interacting with PiXiS RS.
The bottom row remains on screen in all modes and provides system-level navigation, enabling you to return to the home-screen at any time, or bring up a contextual menu for your current mode
Home – click to return to the main menu screen while maintaining audio playback of current mode.
The current mode name is displayed in the centre of the bottom menu bar.
Volume – click to mute volume.
Contextual Menu – click to view and configure user options for current mode.
Close – click to return to the home screen and stop playback of current mode.
As you navigate through context-specific sub-menus, the "Close" button will change to a "Back" button, which takes you back up to the previously viewed screen.
If you press the 'Home' button, the current mode will continue to play until you select an alternative audio source. This means you can adjust PiXiS RS's alarm settings or change your system configuration without interrupting your listening.
If you press the Home button, you'll notice that a "Back" button appears in the lower right hand corner of the main menu screen. Pressing this will take you back to the currently playing mode.
When you enter a navigational menu, the available choices will be shown as a list. Just touch any option in a list to select it.
On longer lists, a scrollbar will appear to the right of the screen. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll through the list one screen at a time, or press part of the scrollbar background to jump to a point.
An arrow next to an item in a list indicates that there are further options associated with that item.
DAB Radio Mode
Getting started
Please ensure that your PiXiS RS's antenna is fully extended before you enter DAB mode.
On PiXiS RS's Home screen, click the DAB icon.
The first time you enter DAB mode, PiXiS RS will automatically begin to scan through the frequency range to find radio stations. Scanning will take a few moments; a progress bar will appear on screen to keep track of how many stations are picked up in your area.
After scanning, the list of radio stations received in your area will be sorted alphabetically and saved to PiXiS RS's memory.
Listening to DAB Stations
To access PiXiS RS's DAB Station List, press the directory button.
Simply click on a station name in the station list to begin playing it.
Add Current Station to Favourites List
Go to Previous Station from List
The Now Playing screen displays information from the broadcaster.
Station name and programme type (genre) are displayed at all times.
Additional information is displayed where provided by the broadcaster. This may include categories such as:
- Current track title and artist name.
- Programme information.
• Extra station Information. - Contact details / web links etc.
- Upcoming programme information.
If text is too long to fit on one screen, it will scroll automatically every few seconds.
More detailed technical information is available by pressing the info key.
This includes detailed broadcaster data and information about signal strength.
DAB Slideshow
PIXiS RS provides support for DAB Slideshow, an innovative new feature that significantly enhances the digital radio experience. DAB Slideshow enables detailed full colour images to be broadcast alongside standard digital audio transmissions, providing a colourful and informative backdrop to DAB radio broadcasts. Slideshow content includes a wide variety of information screens and images, including 'Now Playing' screens, news headlines, sports reports, weather information and traffic updates.
At the time of writing, DAB Slideshow content is being broadcast by a growing number of radio stations in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, France, Australia and Hong Kong.
If DAB Slideshow content is available on your chosen station, PiXiS RS will automatically display the slideshow image at full screen size. To revert to the standard DAB Mode screen, simply press PiXiS RS's touchscreen. To re-enter full-screen DAB Slideshow mode at any time, press the small slideshow graphic on the left of the screen.
NOTE: The availability of DAB
Slideshow content is at the discretion of broadcaster. Not all stations currently operate this feature.
Rescanning DAB Stations
From time to time, it may be necessary to perform a manual scan to keep your radio's station list up-to-date. A couple of reasons may account for this...
- New station launches or existing stations which cease broadcasting.
- If the initial scan gave poor reception (for example, if the aerial was not properly extended or PiXiS RS was placed in a bad reception area), the default station list may be incomplete or even empty.
To begin a manual scan, in DAB mode, press the Menu button. Select Scan from the list. When the scan is fi nished, your updated station-list will be saved into PiXiS RS's memory.
Favourite Station Presets
PiXiS RS lets you save up to 10 of your favourite DAB stations as presets.
To store the station you are currently listening to as a preset, just press the add preset button at any time.
When successful, you'll see the message "Favourite Added".
To view your preset stations list at any time, press the presets button.
Dynamic Range Control
DRC can improve audio performance if you are listening to music with a high dynamic range in a noisy environment (e.g. listening to classical music while cooking in the kitchen).
DRC boosts quieter sounds, making them easier to hear, without over-amplifying the louder sections of music.
PiXiS RS has 3 DRC settings: OFF, Low and High. Default setting is Low. To alter this setting, click the Menu button in DAB mode. Select DRC from the list, then click your preferred setting.
Note: Not all DAB broadcasts are able to use DRC. If the broadcast does not support DRC, then changing the setting will have no effect.
Pruning Stations
To remove stations that appear on your list but which are not available, press the Menu key in DAB mode and select Prune Invalid Stations.
PiXiS RS will remove any invalid stations and auto update and save your station list.
Editing Presets
You can change the order or delete items from your favourites list by going to the DAB menu and selecting Edit Favourites.
Controls will appear around any station you select, allowing you to move or remove it.
FM Radio Mode
Before entering FM mode, please fully extend PiXiS RS's aerial.
From the Home screen, press the FM button. You'll see the following screen, with the currently selected FM frequency displayed.
Note the frequency scale across the centre of the screen. You can simply press any part of this scale, to tune PiXiS RS to the corresponding radio frequency.
You can also use the forward and back buttons to tune up or down through the frequency range, one step at a time.
If you want to scan through the bands to find a station, click on "Seek" so that it's highlighted in yellow, then use the forward and back buttons as before. Now instead of individual steps, PiXiS RS will scan up or down until it finds the next available station.
For stations with good signal strength which broadcast RDS information, PiXiS RS will display the RDS Data.
Favourite Station Presets
PiXiS RS allows you to store up to 10 favourite station presets in FM Mode.
To add the station you're listening to as a new favourite, click the Add Favourite button.
This will bring up the following feedback:
To review your favourites list, click the favourites button at any time.
Your favourites will be listed as shown below. If you're already listening to one of your favourites, it will be highlighted on the list as shown here:
FM Settings
Press the contextual menu button to bring up the FM Settings menu:
My Favourites: takes you to view your favourite stations list.
Stop on Stations: is a toggle button which dictates PiXIS RS's FM sensitivity when scanning for stations. If set to "Strong", scanning will only stop on stations with good reception.
Edit Favourites: lets you easily rearrange or delete items from your favourites list:
Force Mono: can switch playback to Mono if signal reception is not strong enough to allow constant Stereo reception.
Internet Setup
PiXiS RS makes connecting to the internet via your wireless network very straightforward.
The easiest way to get started is simply to enter Internet Radio mode, where PiXiS RS will lead you through the process of connecting to your network and getting online.
The main steps are illustrated below:
- Select your WLAN region from the list.
- PiXiS RS automatically scans for networks. As in the example shown, any networks within range of your PiXiS RS will be listed by name.
- Select your preferred network from the list.
- If your network is not password protected, PiXiS RS will now connect to it. If you
do use password protection, you will be prompted to enter your access code as shown. Type your password using the on-screen keyboard, then press "Confirm".
- PiXiS RS will now connect to your network. Your password is saved to PiXiS RS's memory so you don't need to enter it every time you reconnect.
Select your region... Wireless networks within range will be listed.
Select your preferred network.
Enter your network password and click "Confirm".
After following the steps above you should be able to access the Internet Radio mode. You've also taken the first step towards streaming audio wirelessly from computers on your network.
All your network settings will be saved to PiXiS RS's memory until you choose to manually update them.
If you want to manually check or change your network settings at any time, you can do so via the "Settings" section. Go to "Network Settings" then select "Network Wizard".
If you have advanced settings you wish to configure yourself, select the "Manual settings" option. For more information, see page 21.
Saved Network Profi les: If you move your PiXiS RS to a different location, when you enter one of the internet modes it will automatically re-scan for available networks.
Only networks within range will be listed but don't worry, your old settings are saved safely and will automatically find your network again if you move your PIXIS RS back to that location.

Network Audio Mode
PiXiS RS's network music player mode is accessed by selecting "Network Audio" from the Home menu. The mode utilises the Universal Plug and Play ("UPnP") protocol to let you browse and play audio files wirelessly across your network from PC or Mac computers. Once you've set up your computer for sharing, PiXiS RS can remotely navigate through your digital music collection by categories such as Artist Name, Album Title or Musical Genre.
In order for PiXiS RS to play your audio fi les from computer, the computer must fi rst be configured for media sharing.

Using PiXiS RS with iTunes
Please note: iTunes does not currently operate a UPnP media server, but there are a number of third-party software applications (many of them free) which can enable you to access your iTunes music library. See "Streaming from an Apple Mac" on page 16.
Network Audio: Setting Up
Streaming from Windows PC using Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player (version 11 or newer) is the most popular UPnP server client. There are alternative UPnP platforms which can be used, but this description deals with the process of configuring your WMP system.
First, ensure that your PC and PiXiS RS are both connected to the same network.
In WMP, add the audio files and folders you want to share with your PiXiS RS to the Media Library. Select "Library", then "Add to Library".
To ensure that PiXiS RS will be able to gain access to your shared media, turn Media Sharing on. Select PiXiS RS and click "Allow" as pictured. Your PC is now ready to stream music to PiXiS RS.
The WMP UPnP service runs in the background, so you don't actually need to have the WMP software running to access your files from PiXiS RS.
Streaming from an Apple Mac
To connect PiXiS RS to your Apple Mac computer, a third-party UPnP server application is required.
There are a number of these apps available for download online. One of the most common and easy-to-use is called EyeConnect. This is available from: www.elgato.com
Once you've downloaded and installed EyeConnect to your MAC, open up your System Preferences control panel and under "Other", select EyeConnect.
Ensure that PiXiS RS is connected to the same network as your Mac - PiXiS RS will appear on your EyeConnect devices list as pictured, right.
Make sure the "Enable" box next to PiXiS RS is ticked and that the "Access" drop down menu is set to "Enable New Devices".
Your MAC is now ready to stream to PiXiS RS. EyeConnect runs discreetly in the background, so there's no need to open the control panel each time you wish to stream.
Network Audio: Finding Tracks
PiXiS RS can play the major audio file formats from a computer or server on your local wireless network, including: MP3, AAC, WMA and FLAC
When you enter Network Audio mode, you'll be asked to select your music source. Click on "Shared Media".
All available computers on your network which have been configured to share fi les via UPnP will be listed:
After selecting your desired computer from the list, you'll see a list of available media types. Click "Music" to find your shared tracks.
You can browse your collection by criteria such as Album Title, Artist Name and Genre.
If you like, you can also set up playlists on your computer, then access these from your PiXiS RS.
Select an option and you'll be presented with an alphabetically sorted list (top right).
You can then browse down through sub-categories to find specific pieces of music. Just click a track name to play it.
Alarm Settings
PiXiS RS is equipped with two programmable alarm clocks. From the Home Screen, press "Alarms" then press "Alarm settings".
To edit or review an alarm, press either "Alarm 1" or "Alarm 2". A summary screen displaying the current alarm selections will be displayed. There are five adjustable settings:
- Alarm Enable / Frequency selection
- Time
- Mode
• My Favourites (DAB and FM only)
• Volume (0 - 16)
Simply press any setting to review or edit it. Pressing the Back button will save your changes and take you back to the main summary screen.
Alarms can be set to activate Daily, Once, Weekends or on Weekdays.
If you select "Once", in addition to setting the alarm time, you will also need to set a specific date. The date setting screen behaves in the same manner as the time setting screen.
Press "Time" to adjust the time of alarm activation. Using the up and down arrows above the hours and minutes, set the specific time that you wish the alarm to sound.
Alarms can be set to wake you with audio from any one of the following modes: DAB, FM, Internet or Buzzer.
If DAB or FM is chosen for the alarm source, you will also be given the option of waking to the "Last Listened" station or one of your preset favourites. This selection can be made by pressing "My Favourites".
Pressing "Volume" will display the "Select Alarm Volume" screen, where you can predefi ne the volume level that you wish your alarm to activate at.
When either alarm is activated, mini icon(s) as picture below will appear in the top section of your radio's screen.
Alarms in Standby Mode
When PiXiS RS is in standby mode, if an alarm is set an alarm icon will be displayed on screen.
In the bottom right hand corner of this screen, a shortcut button is also provided which returns you to the main alarm summary screen at any time.
Alarm Snooze
When an alarm goes off, you'll get the option to either "Snooze" or "Cancel".
"Snooze" puts PiXiS RS back into standby mode for a specified period before repeating the alarm.
The snooze interval duration can be set in the Alarms Menu, simply press the Alarms Icon then press "Alarm Snooze". The Snooze interval can be set from between 1 to 30 minutes.
"Cancel" switches the alarm system off while allowing you to continue listening.
To switch the alarm off and also stop audio playback, press the standby button on PiXiS RS.
Sleep Function
PiXiS RS has a handy sleep function which automatically switches PiXiS RS into standby mode after a specified time period.
Simply press the "Sleep" icon on the Homepage. The default setting is "Off", but by pressing the "+" icon, you can cycle through the options to send PiXiS RS to standby in 15, 30, 45 or 60 Minutes.
If Sleep mode is activated, a crescent moon icon will show in the top part of the screen.
USB Update Port
PiXiS RS has a USB software upgrade facility. You can connect the radio to your PC via its USB socket, located on the units back panel.
If a new software revision becomes available, it will be downloadable from www.revo.co.uk, where explicit instructions on how the upgrade should be executed will also be provided. Connecting PiXiS RS to your PC without following these instructions is not advised and could permanently damage your radio.

A simple toggle button. Touch to select Yes / No to turn daylight saving on or off.
Time Source
Allows you to specify where PiXiS RS should sync its clock from. By default this is set to fetch the time from the internet. You can also set the time sync source to "None", if you wish to set it yourself and don't wish any external updates.
Manual Setup

A simple toggle to select either 12 or 24 hour clock.
Network Settings
PIXIS RS will attempt to ease the process of connecting to your local area network the first time you use it to access one of the internet modes. If you wish to view or change these preferences manually, you can do so via the Network Settings menu, where you'll see the following headings:
- Network Wizard
• WPS Push Button Setup
• Network Profi les - Manual Settings
- Current Settings
- WLAN Region
• DAB/FM Network
Network Wizard
This utility greatly simplifi es the setup of PiXiS RS's internet connection by leading you step-by-step through a largely automated network setup process. Please see page 10 for more details.
Network Profi les
PiXiS RS stores a list of wireless networks it has connected to and automatically tries to connect to any one of them which it can find within range.
You can check details of these saved networks and easily delete any unwanted connections by clicking "Network Profi les".
There's also a link here to the network wizard, if you wish to add a new profile.
Note: you cannot delete the currently active network profile.
Manual Settings
For advanced users, the Manual Settings option walks you through a detailed and customisable 11-step process to add a new wireless network profile.
Current Settings
Shows you the full details of your currently active network setup. Potentially useful for troubleshooting, the info displayed here includes IP addresses and MAC addresses related to your PiXiS RS's network.
WLAN Region
Lets you change your global location if you move your PiXiS RS to a new region. As your network will doubtless change anyway in this instance, we would recommend simply using the Network Wizard to add a new network.
WPS Push Button Setup
Is useful if you want to pair your PiXiS RS with a router that uses WPS security.
Miscellaneous Settings
Allows control over a range of assorted preferences for your PiXiS RS.
In order, the miscellaneous settings are:
Language
The default language on your PiXiS RS is English. To change, just pick an option from the available list.
tandby Backlight
When this feature is activated, the PiXiS display will switch off after a pre-defined period of time. The display can be easily re-activated by simply moving the volume dial in either direction, allowing you to check the time or alarm status. The display will then 'go to sleep' again after the pre-defined timeout period has elapsed.
To activate this feature, select "Miscellaneous Settings" from the "Settings" menu, then "Standby Backlight Off", then choose your desired timeout period from the available list. After selecting your desired timeout duration, the feature will now be activated. To de-activate, select "Standby Backlight Off", then choose "Never".
Please note that this setting is only applicable to standby mode, and will not have an effect on the brightness of the touchscreen backlight in any other mode.
Display Backlight
The Display Backlight feature allows you to control the default brightness of your radio's colour screen, both when in operation and in standby mode. Reducing the brightness in standby mode will minimise light pollution should your radio be used in a bedside situation.
Software Update
From time to time, software updates will become available for your PiXiS RS. Some of these will be for maintenance, but some will also add new features to the PiXiS RS system. These updates will download via your network connection.
If you have the Software Update option enabled, PIXIS RS will automatically check for new software every time it connects to the internet. If an update is available, it will ask for your confirmation before commencing download.
Software updates will allow all your user settings to be maintained, although will take a few moments to download and require a restart of your PiXiS RS.
Check for Updates
If you don't want PiXiS RS to automatically check for new software, you can still check for updates on-demand by clicking on Check for Updates. This will use your internet connection to access the latest
Please note: Before carrying out any software update, ensure that your PiXiS RS is connected to a stable power supply.
Disconnecting the power during a critical phase of an update could result in permanent damage to your PiXiS RS.
version and tell you whether or not your PiXiS RS is up-to-date. If there is new software available, you will be asked to confirm whether you wish to proceed to download.
Software Version
Simply displays your PiXiS RS's current software installation version. This will be potentially useful if you need to seek technical support with some aspect of your PiXiS RS.
Factory Reset
This option resets PiXiS RS to its default factory values, erasing any personal settings which may have been configured, such as Time & Date, Network Profi les and Favourite Station Presets.
Your PiXiS RS's current software version will be maintained, as will its registration with the Internet Radio Portal. If you have registered favourite stations via the internet portal, these will be maintained, unless you re-register your PiXiS RS with another account on the portal.
