• Specifications About Rotel Our story began over 50 years ago. Over the decades, we have received hundreds of awards for our products and satisfied hundreds of thousands of people who take their entertainment seriously- like you!Rotel was founded by a family whose passionate interest in music led them to manufacture high-fidelity components of uncompromising quality. Through the years, that passion has remained undiminished and the family goal of providing exceptional value for audiophiles and music lovers, regardless of their budget, is shared by all Rotel employees.Rotel’s engineers work as a close team, listening to, and fine tuning, each new product until it reaches their exacting musical standards. They are free to choose components from around the world in order to make that product the best they can. You are likely to find capacitors from the United Kingdom and Germany, semiconductors from Japan or the United States, while toroidal power transformers are manufactured in Rotel’s own factory.We all have concerns about our environment. And, as more and more electronics are produced and later discarded, it is especially important for a manufacturer to do all it can to engineer products that have a minimum negative impact on landfill sites and water tables. At Rotel, we are proud to do our part. We have reduced the lead content in our electronics by using special RoHS solder, while our new Class D (not digital) amplifiers are up to five times more efficient than our legacy designs and still deliver power and performance. These products run cool, give minimum wasted energy, are good for the environment and give better sound too. Finally, we have printed this brochure on recycled paper stock. While we understand that these are small first steps, they are still important ones. And we continue to pursue new methods and materials for a cleaner and greener manufacturing process. All of us at Rotel thank you for buying this product. We are sure it will bring you many years of enjoyment.9 English 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.10 p. 18

Internet Radio What you need before starting Before you can use your Internet radio, you need the following: A broadband Internet connection. • Access point to internet through wired or wireless LAN. • With wireless LAN connection, internet radio should work within 100 metres of the wireless access point, subject to the router/Wi-Fi gateway being placed in the optimum area for your location. The user can confirm the WiFi Strength under the settings menu. (Settings-->WiFi Strength) Make sure that your LAN is connected properly and is able to access the internet. To access internet radio stations an internet connection is required. First Time Connection To The Network When you turn on the unit for the first time, it starts by searching for LAN connections. If both wired and wireless connections are present, the wired connection will be the default, unless a “wireless only” selection was made in the setup menu. The following example illustrates a wireless connection. Starting ... ... SCANNING NETWORK.. ... After a few seconds, it will start to scan for networks. If no wireless network is found, it will display no network found.

When the unit finds your network, it will display the ESSID for the access point on the screen – this is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network – for example: < MY NETWORK > It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your unit will find more than one wireless access point if using wireless connection, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Turn the knob on the panel to see the ESSID for each access point the radio has found. If the screen displays “Enter WEP key” or “Enter WPA key” then the network is using one of the encryption systems, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Please obtain the access code from the person who set up your wireless network, or check the user manual of your router for this information. Input the code into the Rotel unit to gain access to the wireless LAN. Note: If you would like to use a static IP address, or if the unit can not automatically get an IP address, then please see the ‘Network config’ section under the ‘Settings’ section at the end of the manual.12
