Getting Started

Pico RadioStation is a sophisticated digital radio device, with several modes of operation and many advanced features.

In order for you to get the most out of Pico's functions, it is important that you learn how to use the cursor based control system, and also understand how Pico's menus work.

Pico's Control Method

Pico's control method is based around a central scroll wheel (with push to select function).

SCROLL WHEEL:

Rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise to scroll through menu options.

PUSH TO SELECT:

Press the scroll wheel to select the current menu option. In FM mode, pressing the scroll wheel will initiate an FM scan.

BACK:

Press to return to the previously selected menu entry. Repeatedly pressing will return you to the top level of the Mode menu (for the mode you are in).

Press to enter [or return to] the Mode menu for the mode of operation you are currently in. Pressing for a second time will return you to the 'playing' screen.

MODE:

Sequentially cycles through each of the modes of operation.

Using these keys, you will be able to perform most functions and navigate through Picos various menus.

Pico has three types of menu as follows:

This is Pico's principle (top level) menu, and allows you to enter different operating modes, setup the radio, and view information such as software version and your radio's ID number.

Mode Menus

The Mode menus are so called because they show the functions available within the context of each of the operating modes (DAB mode, FM mode etc.).

Pressing the MENU button at any time will take you to the Mode menu of the operating mode your radio is currently in. Each Mode menu includes a listing for Main Menu - selecting this option will return you to the top level Main Menu (as described above).

The Main menu provides access to the following modes and sub-menus:

DAB

Info System

Setup

To select an option from the menu, simply use the scroll wheel to move through the menu options, then press to select.

Internet Radio Mode

Connecting to your broadband network

In order to access Pico RadioStation's internet radio features, first you must connect Pico to your broadband connection.
Firstly, select 'Internet Radio' by pressing the MODE key until 'Internet Radio Mode' appears on the display, or alternatively select from Pico's main menu.
Pico will now ask you to select a 'Wlan region'. To do so, simply rotate the scroll wheel to cycle through the list of available options, then push to make your selection.
Pico will ask you to choose the network you'd like to use. If there is more than one available, all will be listed.
If you are using a wired LAN connection choose 'Wired' option from the network list. To make your selection rotate the scroll wheel to cycle through the list of available options, then push to select.
If the Wi-Fi network you have chosen doesn't require a password, Pico will automatically connect.
If your chosen network has security enabled, you will be asked to input the relevant key or password. Remember, the password will be case-sensitive.
Use the scroll wheel to move through the banks of characters and push the wheel to select your chosen character. When the password has been entered, move the flashing cursor to the symbol at the end of the line and push to enter the code. Pico will now connect to the network.
Pico will remember the security key or password, you will not be required to enter it again, even after Pico has been used on another network in a different location.
Pico can also remember keys and passwords for multiple Wi-Fi networks.
If at some time you would like to connect to another Wi-Fi network, you can do so by selecting 'Wizard' from the 'Internet Setup' option on the main menu, and entering the required key/password.
Advanced users can edit their Wi-Fi settings by accessing the 'System Setup' option from the Main menu.

Music Player Mode

Music Player Operation

Pico RadioStation's media player functionality allows you to play audio files (AIFF, AU, MP3, RM, WAV and WMA) and playlists (M3U) stored on a networked PC or Apple Mac. The media player functions have been tested and certified to operate with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OSX 10.2 - 10.4.9.

Windows PC Set-Up

There are two Music Player modes available. Each of them requires different settings, and either one can be used to playback music from a media server.

Shared Folders (CIFS)

In order to set up the device to playback music stored on shared network drives, user name, password and domain settings must be configured to work with the PC share settings. This is only required if the user has set a password on his/her shared folders.

PC: Domain/Workgroup configuration

The Domain configuration item can be found on a Windows XP machine as follows:

From the start menu, select Control Panel > System then select the Computer Name tab.
The Domain or Workgroup that this Computer is a member of is displayed in this tab.
If the PC is not a member of any Domain or Workgroup then one must be joined. To do this click on the change button on the computer name tab and enter the name of the domain (default on Windows XP is MSHOME).
A reboot of the PC may be prompted if the Domain or Workgroup has been changed.
PC: Setting up a new user account (Windows XP)

Pico RadioStation may require you to set-up a user account on each PC that you wish to browse. By default most PCs have at least one user account associated with it. The user name and password (optional) needs to be the same on each PC as the Internet Radio only stores one user name and one password. For windows XP this can be set up as follows:

From the start menu, select Control Panel -> User accounts
From this screen left click the Add ... and enter the new user name and the Domain/Workgroup setting noted above. Select the type of user (limited) and then select 'create account'.
Select the user just created, select 'Create Password ...' and enter a password for this user.
Note the User Name and Password.

Note for Windows VISTA: Users have to turn on the Guest account via manage user accounts in the control panel in VISTA, then add access to either 'Everyone' or 'Guest' on the shared drive. They could create a new account for the internet radio, with a password, if they are concerned about security. The Guest account has no password by default, so the Wi-Fi radio will connect to it from its factory default settings.

PC: Configuring A Shared Drive

From the Start menu select My Computer and navigate to the directory you wish to share. Right click on the directory and select Sharing and Security. Configure the shared drive as read only, and ensure that the User Name created above has read access to the share.

Wi-Fi Radio: Storing TheUsername And Password

Before the radio can stream music from a PC, you need to ensure you have shared folder available on the PC, and set up the radio so that it knows the username and password (if one has been set) for the shared folder on the PC. This can be set up using the PC settings menu.

Shared Media (UPnP)

Media sharing uses Windows Media Player (WMP) 1.1 and above as media server. This mode does not require any setting in the radio, but the PC needs to be configured to allow the radio access to the media. You will only have to do it once, following the next steps.

The PC must be connected to network (wired or wireless) that will be used to share media with the radio.
Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network as the PC.
In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with your internet radio [in Library > Add to library].
In the WMP main window, click on Library, then Media sharing.

The Internet radio is presented as an "Unknown Device". Make sure that the device has access to the shared media by selecting it and clicking . Then click OK>.

The PC is now ready to stream the music to the radio.

Troubleshooting

Wi-Fi Internet Radio

If you are experiencing any problems with your Pico RadioStation please read the following 'troubleshotting' guide.

Alternatively you can visit the support section of the Revo website

(www.revo.co.uk) or call our technical support staff on 01555 66 61 61.

If you have trouble connecting Pico RadioStation to your wireless network, these steps may help to resolve the problem:

Confirm that a Wi-Fi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.
Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the radio.
Check that your network's firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports.

As a minimum, Pico RadioStation needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000 and 7070.

Check your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You can view the radio's MAC address under the 'Internet Setup' section, accessed via the 'System Setup' option on Pico's main menu.
If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or pass phrase into the radio. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, your radio displays: 'Wireless error' followed by a 5-digit number, then please ensure that you enter the correct pass phrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration.

If Pico RadioStation can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:

The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day [remember it may be located in a different time zone].
The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.
The station is not broadcasting anymore.
The link on the radio is out of date.
The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is slow.

DAB Digital Radio

I hear a 'burbling' noise on some stations.
A. If the signal strength is too low, a break-up in reception can occur. This sound is the result. Make sure that Pico's antenna is fully extended and in an upright position. If no DAB signal is found, it may be necessary for you to relocate your radio.
Q. I get a 'No stations available' message?
A. Make sure that your antenna is fully extended and vertical and check whether DAB coverage is available in your area.
