3. When you scan for PCs under UPnP function, none can be found, or the PC
you are looking for does not appear in the list:
- You have not connected to the wireless Access point. On the internet radio, select
'Configuration', 'Network ', 'Wireless network connection' and then select your
Wireless network. (You may need to enter a security key to access the network
wirelessly).
- You have a firewall set on your PC which is stopping you accessing shared files.
- If you have a third party firewall that will have its own control panel and you will
need to consult the manual for your firewall.
- If your PC is connected to a managed network, with a server sometimes the PC
being searched for needs to be set to Home group.
4. You can see the PC you want to play music from, but cannot find any folders
on the PC:
- You have a firewall running which is preventing the internet radio from seeing the
shared folder. As a quick check, you can disable firewalls to see if this overcomes
the problem. If this resolves the issue then you can either leave the firewall off or
allow file sharing through the fire wall.
Note: If your firewall is required to provide security for your system, it should not be
left off.
5. If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station:
- The Internet Radio is streaming the data from the radio station via your broadband
connection, if there is a high error rate on your broadband connection, or the
connection is intermittent, then it will cause the Internet Radio to pause until the
connection is re-established and it has received enough data to start playing
again.
- If your Internet Radio keeps stopping, please check the DSL modem to ensure that
the Broadband line is not suffering a high error rate or disconnections. If you are
experiencing these problems, you will need to contact your broadband supplier.
6. What is Buffering?
When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a small amount
of the stream before it starts playing. This is used to fill in any gaps in the stream
that may occur if the internet or the wireless network is busy.
The Internet Radio streams music data from the PC while you are listening. If a
stream gets blocked or experiences Internet congestion while transferring it may
stop/interfere with the quality of play. If this happens, check your internet
connection speed- it must be faster than the speed of the streams.
