Frequently Asked Questions - DR 316 ALBRECHT

How do I connect the Albrecht DR 316 C radio to my Wi-Fi network?
On first start-up, the setup wizard appears automatically. Select your Wi-Fi network from the list and enter the security key (WEP/WPA) using the TUNE button. You can also launch the wizard via Menu > System settings > Network > Network wizard.
Can I listen to the radio without an Internet connection?
Yes, you can listen to the radio in DAB/DAB+ or FM mode using the built-in antenna. DAB mode requires terrestrial digital reception. You can also use the AUX input to connect an MP3 player.
How do I set the time and date automatically?
Go to Menu > System settings > Time/Date > Auto update and choose a source: DAB, FM or Network. The radio will synchronize the time as soon as it receives a signal in that mode.
How do I add a station as a favorite?
In Internet, DAB or FM mode, press and hold the Preset button (or hold the TUNE button) until 'Favorite added' appears. To recall a favorite, briefly press Preset and select the number.
What should I do if the radio finds no DAB stations?
Make sure the antenna is fully extended. Perform a manual scan via Menu > DAB > Scan. If the problem persists, move the radio near a window or check DAB coverage in your area.
How do I use the alarm function?
Press the Alarm button (or Menu > Main menu > Alarms). Set the time, frequency (once, daily, etc.), source (Buzzer, Internet, DAB or FM) and volume. Confirm by pressing 'Save'.
Can I stream music from my smartphone?

7 Getting started/setup

DR 316 C is a sophisticated multi-source media player. To simplify the set up process as much as possible, when DR 316 C is first started a setup wizard helps take you through the basic steps to enable connections with the different audio sources.

The various listening modes have different requirements:

- Internet Radio requires a suitable internet broadband connection (usually wireless network).

• Music Player requires connection to wireless network connected device.

• DAB/FM requires a DAB/FM broadcast signal via the built in antenna.

- Aux-In requires connection via the Aux-In socket.

To start DR 316 C, connect the unit to a suitable power source using the power supply provided. The unit starts up. (there may be a few seconds delay before the display is initialised)

After showing a Starting screen DR 316 C will normally enter the last used listening mode. The first time DR 316 C is started (or after being reset to factory settings) the setup wizard is launched automatically.

7.1 Setup wizard

When DR 316 C is started for the first time, it runs through a setup wizard to configure settings for date/time and network. Once this has finished, the system is ready to use in most modes.

* Note: To change these settings later, select Menu > System settings > and select the required settings option.

To run the setup wizard again, select Menu > System settings > Setup wizard.

Select Yes to start the setup wizard.

If you choose No, the next screen asks if you would like to run the wizard next time DR 316 C is started. The system then starts without configuring time/date and network settings and enters the Main Menu.

ALBRECHT DR 316 - Setup wizard - 1

text_image Setup wizard Start now? YES NO

The Setup wizard guides you through the basic setup parameters for Time/Date and Network connection. For details see the relevant settings in section 8 Settings. To change any settings later all setting functions are accessible from the Settings Menu.

8 Operation

After the initial setup, DR 316 C is ready for operating in most Modes.

To select a Mode, press MODE, then turn clockwise or anticlockwise of the rotary to scroll left or right through the mode list. Press Select to confirm the current highlighted mode, mode splash screen will be displayed. After a brief moment DR 316 C switches to that mode. The last station or track previously used in that mode is selected. If this is not possible, DR 316 C scans for relevant stations, networks, or prompts the user for appropriate input. See the relevant Mode section for details of how to use each listening mode.

DR 316 C is compatible with all common network protocols and encryption methods, including Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).

To connect DR 316 C to your network, you need to the following:

- A Wi-Fi wireless router, together with passphrase key, if set.

To select a network use either the Network wizard or Manual settings.

9.2.1 Network Wizard

This guides you through the necessary steps to join a network. This is also automatically run as part of the Setup wizard. The screens and options presented will depend on the type of network and network protection used.

Selecting a network

When the Network wizard is chosen DR 316 C automatically scans for available wireless networks and presents a list of SSID's (Service Set Identifier) for the networks. Those options starting with WPS in brackets indicates encrypted networks offering Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) options, for further details see under section 8.2.2 WPS Setup (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).

DR 316 C remembers login details for the last four wireless networks it has connected to and will automatically connect to them when they are available. If connection to a network is temporarily lost, DR 316 C will automatically reconnect.

Wi-Fi network (SSID)

select a network from the list.

If the network is open (non-encrypted), DR 316 C connects and no further details are required, see Completion below.

Standard encrypted network

If the wireless network is protected the next screen presents options to enter the network key or passphrase.

To enter the network's key (passphrase), highlight the relevant character and press to select each character in turn. As each character is selected, the key is built up and displayed in the field at the top of the display.

The three options – Backspace, OK and Cancel are included in the selection loop. There can be accessed just using the TUNE knob or Remote control on the Navigation key control, which moves the selection highlight.

DR 316 C connects to the selected network.

If connecting fails, DR 316 C returns to a previous screen to try again. To exit the process use the BACK/MENU button.

If the network connection is lost, DR 316 C automatically reconnects.

Internet radio favourites therefore remain unless you re-register your radio with another account on the portal website.

To perform a factory reset, select Menu > System settings > Factory reset Proceed > Yes.

9.6 Software update

From time to time, Frontier Silicon may make software upgrades available with bug fixes and/or additional features.

11.6 Setting up a music server

In order for DR 316 C to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or media.

UPnP media sharing allows devices like DR 316 C to play music from a shared media library, navigating through tag menus such as Artist, Album or Genre. If you are running a suitable server system such as a PC with Windows Media Player 10 or later (WMP), and your music library is well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server needs to be set up.

11.7 Sharing media with Windows Media Player

The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later). Alternatively, other UPnP platforms and servers may be used. To set up WMP for media sharing, perform the following steps:

  1. Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
  2. Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network.
  3. In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with DR 316 C (Library > Add to Library...).
  4. In WMP, enable media sharing (Library > Media sharing...).

The DLNA functionality shall be demonstrated with the Bubble UPnP application, which is developed by the company Bubblesoft. This app is available in two versions. One is free of charge and the other is offering more functions at the cost of a fee. In this example we are showing the free of charge version.

The basic requirement for a proper usage is that radio as well as smartphone are connected to the same network.

Once this is done you can start Bubble UPnP on your smartphone. After starting it please open the tab Devices.

In the upper green bordered area you can see all available Renderers. Here you can select on which device the music shall be played. It may take some time until every available device is detected, this depends on your network. On the screenshot you can see that the device AirMusic is not yet available as a renderer.

In the lower blue bordered area you can choose from which device the music shall be streamed in order to be played on the device selected under Renderers. Here you can find additional options. These depend on the tab you have currently selected.

Tab this button in order to open the Devices tab.

Now the radio has been detected as a renderer and can be selected.

The DLNA registration name which the radio is using can be changed by opening the menu Settings⇒DLNA Setup. The default name for this radio is Internet Radio DR 470.

To select the station please tap the button Library.

After pressing the button Library you will see the folders which are provided by the radio.

Here you can see on which device or in which folder you currently are.

The blue framed folders are provided by the radio and contain the same information as if you would open the corresponding menu on your radio.

Local Radio

My Favorite

Radio Station/Music

History

You open the folders by simply tapping on them.

In the folder Radio Station/Music you can find all stations which are available on the radio. You can browse them by genre or region.

The folder Local Radio contains the stations which are available in the country where the radio is currently located. In this example Germany. You can also select those stations via Radio Station/Music⇒Land/Region⇒Europe⇒Germany.

The History folder is showing the last stations which have been played on the radio.

To start playing a station from one of the folders you simply tab on the station.

If you start playing a station you will find it in the tab Playlist.

As internet radio stations stream their programm continuously the remaining playing time will be displayed as 23:59:59

In the tab Now Playing additional information will be displayed (e.g. station logo, album, cover, etc.) depending on what each station provides.

If you would like to stream music from your mobile phone, you have to switch to the tab Devices and change the following settings.

In the field Libraries select Local Media Server. Local means in this case the device which runs the app. This is most of the times your smartphone.

Alternatively you can also playback music from a different device within your network. In this example

there is a notebook available, which provides music through the Windows Media Player.

If you now switch to the tab Library you will see exactly the same folder structure as on your smartphone. In this example the folder Music has already been selected. You can change folders by tapping on them.

Here the folder Genres⇒Rock has been selected. Only one album is available.

If you would like to add the complete folder to your playlist without deleting the current one, press the + button Press on the album name to reach the title list. You can listen to the complete album by pressing the play button. If you would like to add a song to your playlist (while keeping your current playlist) you have to press and hold the song title.
