Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set my favorite Internet radio stations?
You have two ways to set your favorite radio stations.

Using the Media Link’s LCD screen, scroll down to Internet Radio. Select the radio station you would like to set
as your favorite. Press the
Select
button on the remote, and select
Add to Favorites
. Then press the
Select
button again.
•
If you already know the URL for the station you would like to play, access the Media Link’s Web-based Utility.
Click the
Favorites

Apply

What kind of Internet radio stations does the Media LInk support?
The Media LInk currently supports only Internet radio stations that broadcast via MP3 streaming. The Media LInk
will not play stations that broadcast via Windows Media Audio or Real Audio.
Can I have more than one Media Server on my network?
Yes. You can install the Media Server software on multiple computers; however, the Media LInk can only connect
to one Media Server at a time. You can switch to a different Media Server using the LCD screen. Scroll down to
Media Server, and press the right arrow button. Then select the Media Server you want to use.
Can I use the digital output to play music streamed from the Rhapsody service?
No. Music streamed from Rhapsody will not play from the digital output. In its music stream, Rhapsody embeds
Digital Content Management information that the Media Link cannot interpret.
I have my own speakers. Can I use them with the Media Link?
Yes, if they are powered speakers. The Media Link’s RCA outputs are pre-amp outputs, so they have to be
connected to an amplified source. The Media Link will not work with non-powered speakers.
What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?
It is one of the IEEE standards for wireless networks. The 802.11b standard allows wireless networking hardware
from different manufacturers to communicate, provided that the hardware complies with the 802.11b standard.
The 802.11b standard states a maximum data transfer rate of 11Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.
