Preparing Your PC
With the SLA5500NS you are able to enjoy digital music anywhere in the home.
Your SLA5500NS plugs into any audio system and connects wirelessly to a PC or
directly to the Internet via a base station (BS). The remote control and the built-in
LCD display provide easy control and quick selection of music.
Key Features
•Browse music file content on your computer
•Browse and search content by Song, All Tracks, Albums, Artist, Genres or
Playlists
•Set up SLA5500NS on your network simply by using the remote control
•Manage profiles and upgrade software using the Wireless Music Receiver PC
Utility
•View device status information using the built-in Web-based presentation page
•Listen to Internet Radio stations and music files (for example WMA-DRM, WMA,
MP3, WAV) over your audio system
•Browse and update the Internet Radio station database
The instructions in this User Manual assume that you already have a wireless network
up and running. The installation of your wireless network is device-dependent and
thus outside the scope of this document. Please refer to your wireless network
device documentation for more details.
To be fully functional your SLA5500NS requires the installation of:
•the Philips Media Manager software on your PC
Philips Media Manager allows you to create a library of music files on your PC.
Music files include MP3 and WMA formats. It also provides a UPnP Media Server
which enables your SLA5500NS to browse these files on the PC.
•the Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility on your PC
This software allows you to configure your Wireless Music Receiver network profiles.
Normally, you will only need to use this utility if:
• you want to configure a network profile from a PC instead of from the
SLA5500NS itself, or
• you want to upload new software for your Wireless Music Receiver
Installing Philips Media Manager
Place the Philips Media Manager CD in your CD or DVD drive and install the Philips
Media Manager software.
The CD starts automatically. If it does not, double-click ‘My Computer’,
then the CD-ROM drive icon and finally ‘Setup.exe’ to start the CD.
In the menu that appears on your computer screen, click ‘Install Philips Media
Manager’, and follow the on-screen instructions.
When opening the Philips Media Manager for the first time, you will be asked if you
want to add a folder and scan for audio files. Open a drive or a folder with audio files
in it. (For example: the My Documents folder, if you have stored audio files there.)
•You can always add more files and folders later.

MAC Address Control on the Wireless Network
If you are using MAC Address Control on your wireless network, you will need to
know the MAC address of your Wireless Music Receiver. The MAC address is a
unique number that identifies your device on the network. It consists of a series of
numbers and letters in the following format: xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
The MAC address for your Wireless Music Receiver is printed on the bottom of the
device. It can also be displayed on the LCD screen. See ‘Viewing Network Status
Settings’.
You must change your wireless network settings to exclude the Wireless Music
Receiver’s MAC address from filtering. Please refer to your wireless network’s
documentation for details on how to do this.
Enabling Internet Connection Sharing on Your PC
If your connection to the Internet is made available via a single PC, that PC must
enable ‘Internet Connection Sharing’.

Windows XP:
1Log on to the host computer as Administrator or Owner.
2On the taskbar, click ‘Start’, then ‘Control Panel’.
3In Control Panel, click ‘Network and Internet Connections’ under
‘Pick a category’.
4Click ‘Network Connections’ icon.
5Right-click the connection that you use to connect to the Internet and choose
Properties from the menu. For example, if you connect to the Internet using a
modem, right-click the desired Dial Up connection.
6Click the ‘Advanced’ tab.
This will give you access to the options for sharing your Internet Connection.
Next:
a) In the ‘Internet Connection Sharing’ section: Place a check mark to allow other
users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection.
b) Remove the check mark that allows other network users to control or disable
the shared Internet connection.
7Click OK (16). The following message appears:
‘When Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, your LAN adapter will be set to use
IP address 192.168.0.1. Your computer may lose connectivity with other computers on
your network. If these other computers have static IP addresses, you should set them
to obtain their IP addresses automatically. Are you sure you want to enable Internet
Connection Sharing?‘
8Click Yes.
The connection to the Internet is shared with other computers on the local area
network (LAN). The network adapter that is connected to the LAN is configured with a
static IP address of 192.168.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Editing a Network Profile
The Factory Defaults profile for a SLA5500NS cannot be edited. However, there are
other profiles available that can be edited to effectively create new profiles. To
change these settings, you will need to have some knowledge of your wireless
network setup.
Note: The alternative profiles can be edited at any time, but any existing information
in the selected profile will be overwritten once the profile has been edited and
saved.
1Display the profile to be edited (see ‘Viewing Existing Network Profiles’).
2Give your profile a unique Profile Name.
3Enter the Service Set ID (SSID) for your wireless LAN.
4By default, the profile will use the Infrastructure network type (i.e. an Internet
base station is available on the network). If however you select the Allow ad-hoc
connection checkbox, it means that your PC will use a direct peer-to-peer
connection to the SLA5500NS and no Internet connection is available. Internet
Radio will not be supported with this option.
•If you are using WEP encryption on the wireless network, click the WEP enabled
checkbox and enter the appropriate WEP key and the Key index.
•If you are using a proxy server, check the Use proxy server checkbox.
Enter the Proxy server as an IP address (example 192.167.0.10) or as a name
(example my.proxy). The Proxy port number must be a numeric value
(usually, this is port 80 or 8080).
5If the SLA5500NS will get a dynamic IP address automatically from a DHCP
server, select the Use DHCP checkbox.
6If the SLA5500NS needs a fixed IP address, leave the Use DHCP checkbox
unchecked and enter the IP Address for the SLA5500NS, as well as the Netmask
(Subnet mask), and IP addresses for the Gateway, DNS Server Preferred and
DNS Server Alternate.
7Click the ‘Apply’ button to confirm the changes, or click the ‘Refresh’ button to
discard the changes.
8If you want to make this profile the active profile for the SLA5500NS, click the
‘Make Active’ button. Click the ‘Close’ button to return to the main window.
9Click the ‘Discover...’ button to verify that the SLA5500NS can still be found on
the network after you make these changes.
Note: This task can also be done directly on the SLA5500NS using the remote control.

Verifying that a Wireless Music Link is Available on the
Network
When you start the Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility, it performs an
automatic discovery process to verify which Wireless Music Links are available on the
network. It is recommended that you perform this discovery process manually after
editing any network profiles, to ensure that your computer can still communicate
with the SLA5500NS.
To verify that a SLA5500NS is available on the network:
1From the main Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility window, click the
‘Discover...’ button.
A list of available Wireless Music Links will be displayed in the main window.
Uploading New Software to the SLA5500NS
Check www.philips.com/support for new software versions. When new software
becomes available, the Software Upload Wizard in the Philips Wireless Music
Receiver PC Utility will help you to install it on your SLA5500NS.
WARNING: The Software Upload Wizard should be used with great care.
Uploading incorrect software may result in the SLA5500NS no longer
working as expected.
1Start the Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility (see ‘Starting the Philips
Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility’).
2From the main Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility window, highlight the
SLA5500NS to be upgraded and click the ‘Upload Software...’ button.
3The wizard displays details of the currently installed software for the SLA5500NS
and a warning notice. Click the 1button to cancel the upload or the ‘Next’
button to proceed.
4Select a valid software file (.bcd file) and click the ‘Open’ button. If the file
selected is invalid, an error will be displayed.
5The wizard displays a warning and asks for confirmation. Click the 1button to
cancel the upload or the ‘Next’ button to proceed.
Note: This process may take a while and should not be interrupted. The current
software is erased and the new software is uploaded to the SLA5500NS.
A message is displayed when the upload has been completed successfully. If an
error message appears, or if you see the words ‘Download mode’ in the Active
Profile column instead, it means that the software upload has failed. Turn the
power to the SLA5500NS off and on again before starting a new upload
attempt.

Possible Cause
•Solution
Power unavailable.
•Check that the SLA5500NS power cable is properly connected and that the
power is switched on.
SLA5500NS is not known to the network.
•Check that the MAC address for the SLA5500NS has been entered correctly in
the wireless network’s MAC Access Control. Turn off the Wireless Music
Receiver and turn it on again.
Internet unavailable.
•Check that the Internet base station has an active connection to the Internet.
Wireless network incorrectly configured.
•Open the SLA5500NS Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility and select the Wireless
Music Link that has the problem. Click the ‘Profiles’ button and check that the
active profile is correctly configured for your network. Turn on the SLA5500NS
and ensure that the correct profile has been selected under Network Profiles.
This can be caused by network delays when sending out UPnP requests.
•Make sure the SLA5500NS is connected to the power supply and that the
batteries in the remote control are fresh and inserted correctly.
Wait a few seconds and try again. If the problem persists, unplug the Wireless
Music Receiver, wait a minute, plug it in again and then turn it on again.
No music files in the Media Manager Music Library.
•Follow the instructions under ‘Installing Philips Media Manager’ to add files to the
MusicLibrary.
Media Manager is not running.
•Start the Philips Media Manager server by clicking the Media Manager icon in right
side of the Windows task bar on your computer.
File has been moved or deleted but link is still in Philips Media Manager library.
•The Philips Media Manager library stores a link to a music file, not the file itself. If
you move or delete the music file and do not delete it or reselect it in the Philips
Media Manager Library, the SLA5500NS will be unable to locate the file. Open
Philips Media Manager and delete and/or add the track from the correct file
location.
File permissions on music file are incorrect.
•Check that you have read access to the music file on the computer where it is
stored. If this is on a computer other than the UPnP server computer, check that
the network connection between these two computers is active.
There are limitations regarding the presets, depending on the PC Server tool used
(for example Philips Media Manager, EZ Server, Intel, Mediabolic).
•The PC server software may not be fully compatible with the UPnP specification.
There is no workaround other than storing the presets again.
Troubleshooting
