Frequently Asked Questions - WMR-AG SMC

What to do if the receiver does not detect the host PC?

Check that the Media Server software is running on the same network. Make sure the network connection selected in the Network Connection tab matches the interface used (wired or wireless). Restart Media Server if necessary.

I hear no sound, what should I check?

Check that the audio cables (left/white, right/red) are correctly connected to the corresponding input on your stereo or TV. Ensure the audio source is selected on your amplifier.

Nothing displays on the TV screen

Check that the receiver is powered on (Power indicator lit). Check the video cable (yellow) and the video input selected on the TV.

How to add MP3 files to share?

Open Media Server, go to the Shared Folders tab and click Add to select the folder containing your MP3 files (extension .mp3). Subfolders are shared automatically.

Why are photos not displaying?

Ensure the files are in JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg) or BMP (.bmp) formats. Check that the shared folder contains these files. Refresh the content via Update Now in Media Server.

How to listen to Internet radio?

Press iRadio on the remote control. Ensure Media Server is configured with radio stations in the Internet Radio tab (name and full URL with port). A broadband Internet connection (>128 kbps) is required.

Videos have no sound or are in black and white

Check that the video is in MPEG (MPG/MPEG) format and the audio is encoded in MP3. PAL or SECAM videos may appear in black and white on an NTSC TV. Press Stop if the image is unstable.

How to configure the receiver for wireless network?

Turn on the receiver, follow the on-screen prompts. Select Use Wireless, enter your network's SSID, choose encryption (WEP if enabled), network type (Infrastructure for access point) and DHCP mode. Confirm with OK.

Can I use multiple SMC WMR-AG receivers on the same network?

Yes, you can use multiple receivers. However, only one host computer can run Media Server at a time. Each receiver will connect to the same server.

What to do in case of wireless interference?

Move the receiver away from other wireless devices (phones, microwaves) and metal obstacles. Reduce the distance between the receiver and the access point. Try changing the channel on your access point.
