Troubleshooting Steps

Problem:  Rio Receiver can not connect to server.

Troubleshooting measures:

1.) Ensure that the Audio Receiver Manager software is loading properly on the server computer.  Verify 

that there is a blue music note icon in the system tray, indicating that the Audio Receiver Manager 
software has been installed correctly and it sees the Rio Receiver.

2.) Verify that the 

Audio Receiver manager software is set up properly

.

3.) If you are using firewall software like Zone Alarm, you may need to add the IP Address of the Rio 

Receiver as a freindly IP Address.

4.) Check for the link light on the Rio Receiver, the hub (if you are using one), and/or the Ethernet card.
5.) Check to make sure you have the cables plugged in correctly.
6.) After checking the connections and that the software is running, restart (unplug and replug) the Rio 

Receiver and allow it to search for the server again.

7.) If the Receiver still does not find the server, try connecting the Rio Receiver directly into the network 

card on one system to rule out any issues with wiring.  

NOTE:  If directly connecting an Ethernet card to the Rio Receiver, you may need to 

use an Ethernet crossover cable.

Problem:  The Rio Receiver reports an error on the display.

Troubleshooting measures:

Errors that are reported on the Rio Receiver display are typically indicative of server connection issues.
1.) When an error is received, power down the Receiver.
2.) On the server computer double click the 

Audio Receiver Manager icon

 (music note icon in system 

tray).

3.) Click 

Tools

 and 

Import Music

.  

4.) Click 

Add

 and specify the location of the music files you wish to use with the folder browser that 

appears.

5.) Click 

OK

.  The software will import your music tracks.

6.) Click 

OK

 when it is finished.

7.) Restart your Rio Receiver and let it redetect the server.  
This should resolve the issue that inspired the error message.
