Introduction
Your Soundbridge radio is equipped to not only let you listen to AM/FM and Internet
radio; it also lets you listen to music libraries connected to your wireless network. There
are two snooze alarms and you can reconfigure the display with your remote control or
through the Roku web page.
Your SoundBridge R1000 is not a typical table-top radio. The advanced speaker system
has been designed by audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther, and delivers unusually
transparent and powerful audio from a system of this size.
You may find when listening to highly- compressed digital music (like 128kbps MP3or
Internet Radio) that the speaker system reveals the audio limitations in the source
material quite clearly. This is not a flaw of the system, but rather a demonstration of the
accurate audio reproduction possible with the R1000. Higher-bit rate audio (192kbps or
greater) using advanced codecs like AAC and WMA should sound very pleasing.
For specific audio format, stereo speakers, subwoofer, protocols supported and server
requirements please see “Technical Specifications” in the Appendices.
Before You Begin
There are a few things we recommend before you get started using your Soundbridge
Radio. First check the contents in your Soundbridge Radio package, secondly, we
strongly recommend that you read all the safety instructions and lastly, read about music

which server that best meets your needs.
