If needed, use the Back option. Select the Media Player menu.
Rotate the Select control to highlight ‘UPNP Servers’.
2. Press and release the Select control and the radio will scan for all
available UPnP servers. Note, this may take a few seconds for the
radio to complete its scan and before the scan has completed,
the radio will display ‘Empty’. The radio will continue to display
‘Empty’ if no UPnP servers are found.
3. After scanning, select your UPnP server (rotate the Select control
if more than one UpnP server is found), and then press the
Select control. Your radio will normally display ‘Access Denied’
at this stage.
4. Your PC may now prompt you that a device has attempted to
connect to your UPnP server. Whether you are prompted or not,
in order to allow the radio to have access to the media files,
you will need to click the ‘Library’ tab in WMP 11 and select the
‘Media Sharing…’ item to open the ‘Media Sharing’ window.
5. From the ‘Media Sharing’ window, the radio will be listed as an
unknown device. Click on the unknown device shown to select it,
then click the ‘Allow’ button and then click ‘OK’.
Note:
If you are using Microsoft Windows’ firewall software, this should be
correctly configured by WMP 11. If you are using third party firewall
software you may need to manually configure it to allow your radio
and WMP 11 to communicate (see ’Troubleshooting’).
6. Select the named server again using the Select control. If WMP 11 is
now able to communicate with your radio you will be presented with
some media selection options by the server software.

Locating and playing media files when using UPnP
Once the UPnP server has been configured to share media files with
your Internet radio, you select the files that you wish to play as follows:
1. Use the Select control to switch on your radio and to access the
menus. If needed, use the Back option. Select the Media Player
menu. Rotate the Select control to highlight ‘UPnP Servers’.
2. Press Select control and the radio will scan for all available UPnP
servers. Note that it may take a few seconds for the radio to
complete its scan, and that before the scan has completed the
radio may display ‘Empty’. The radio will continue to display
‘Empty’ if no UPnP servers are found.
3. After a successful scan, rotate the Select control to highlight your
UPnP server and then press the Select control.
4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available
by the UPnP server - for example, ‘Music’ and ‘Playlists’. Rotate the
Select control to highlight which category you wish to browse,
then press the Select control to confirm your choice.
5. Rotate the Select control to highlight a category and press the Select
control again. For example, you could select ‘Music’ and then select
‘Albums’.
Note:
In UPnP mode the search criteria offered and the file types made
available to the radio are a function of the UPnP server software
installed on your PC.

6. Rotate the Select control to highlight the media files that you wish
to play and then press the Select control.
Do not worry if not all of your media appear in the menus
immediately. Windows Media Player needs to look inside each file
to identify the artist, album and track information from ‘tags’
embedded in each file. Additionally, Windows Media Player may
take time to access the Internet to obtain additional information
such as ‘album art’ which it can display when you examine your
music library on your PC.
7. The radio will display ‘[Add to Queue]’. Press the Select control and
the radio will add all the tracks in the album to its queue and begin
playing them automatically.

Media selection
Whether you access your files using Windows Shares or using UPnP,
the file selection mechanisms are the same. The only difference
between the two methods is that when using UPnP you will generally
have a wider choice of search criteria, as determined by the UPnP
server software on your computer. Some third party server applications
allow customisation of the search criteria and indexing methods, which
can be useful if you have a very large collection of stored music files.
The selection mechanism allows you to search by a given information
type (Album, Artist, etc.) and then to narrow the search, either just to an
album or to a particular track within an album. The selected album or
track is then added to a queue of tracks to be played. You can add more
albums or tracks to the queue while music is playing, or you can jump
between tracks in the queue. You can also clear the queue if you wish
to make a fresh selection. The searches described here are examples of
the possibilities available.

Setting the auxiliary input level
Different audio sources can vary quite significantly in the strength of
the signals which they provide to other equipment such as your
Internet radio. In particular, some headphone outputs are at a much
lower level than others, and almost all headphone outputs are at a
lower level than so called ‘Line-level’ outputs.
So that you may use your radio with a range of external audio sources,
the input sensitivity of the Auxiliary Input may be configured to suit
either Headphone or Line-level outputs. The Headphone Level setting
is the more sensitive of the two.

Network configuration
This menu enables you to configure your radio’s network settings,
scan for a connection to an alternative wireless network, or to
manually configure the network parameters. This can be useful if you
take the Internet radio to another location where there is a different
network setup.
It is possible to configure your radio to connect to your network via an
available Ethernet connection (RJ-45) or via a Wi-Fi router.
Configuring the radio only to use a wired
Ethernet connection
1. From the radio’s Network Configuration menu, select ‘Wired /
Wireless’. This menu will present you with three options:
‘Wireless Only’, ‘Wired Only’and’Auto’. Selecting ‘Wired Only’ will
allow cause the radio to restart and then to use only its Ethernet
connection to communicate with the network. The radio will also
disable its wireless network capabilities. This will require your radio
to be physically connected to a wired Ethernet using the RJ-45
socket on the rear panel.

2. Selecting the ‘Wireless Only’ option from the ‘Wired / Wireless’
menu will allow cause the radio to restart and then only to use only
its Wi-Fi connectiontocommunicatewiththenetwork.

Configuring the radio to use either an Ethernet or a
Wi-Fi connection
3. Selecting the ‘Auto’ option from the ‘Wired / Wireless’ menu will
cause the radio to restart. It will then attempt to establish an
Ethernet connection to the network. If no Ethernet connection
is available the radio will attempt to establish a Wi-Fi connection
to the network.
Having established a particular type of connection to the network,
this connection will remain in use while the radio is on.
The Network Configuration menu also allows you to choose whether
or not the Internet radio displays a warning message when the Wi-Fi
signal strength is low. You can enable this feature by selecting
‘Signal Warning’ and then selecting ‘Yes’.
Entering the network name manually
If your network is configured with a hidden ESSID, then you will need to
enter the network name manually.
1. In the Network Configuration menu, select ‘Enter network name’.
A string of characters will be displayed. You can scroll through this
list by turning the rotary control or by pressing the Menu up or
Menu down buttons. The centre character will be entered into the
network name each time that you press Select.
If you make an error, either use the Back button on the remote
control, or give a long press on the rotary control.
2. When the name has been entered, locate the END symbol in the
string of characters and then press Select. The radio will then try
to connect to the named network.

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty connecting the radio to your wireless network,
some of these steps may help to resolve the problem:
1. Confirm that a Wi-Fi connected PC can access the Internet
(i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.
2. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a
static IP address on the radio. You can configure a static IP address
on the radio using the menu item ‘Configure -> Network Config ->
Edit Config’, and then select ‘No’ for ‘Auto (DHCP)’.
3. Check that your network’s firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports.
As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDPand TCPports 80, 554,
1755, 5000 and 7070. The use of Windows Shares requires access
to UDP and TCP ports 135 - 139 and 445. Windows Media Player
11 will allocate a port number for UPnP media sharing and will
configure Microsoft’s Windows built-in firewall appropriately.
Other firewall software may require configuration for UPnP or to
allow particular IP addresses to have trusted access.
4. Check that your access point does not restrict connections to
particular MAC addresses. You can view the radio’s MAC address
using the menu item ‘Configure -> Network Config -> View Config ->
MAC address’. Note that the WFR-20 radio has both wired and
wireless MAC addresses.
5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the
correct key or pass-phrase into the radio. Remember that text-format
WPA keys are case sensitive. If your radio displays ‘Wireless error’
when attempting to connect to an encrypted network followed by a
5-digit number, then please ensure that you enter the correct
pass -phrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may
need to consult your network configuration.
If your radio can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to
play particular stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:
1. The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day
(remember it may be located in a different time zone).
2. The station has reached the maximum allowed number of
simultaneous listeners.
3. The Internet connection between your radio and the server
(often located in a different country) is slow.
4. The station is not broadcasting any more.
5. The link to the audio stream used by the radio is out of date.
6. The radio station is broadcasting using an audio format which is not
playable by your radio (although the WFR-20 does play almost all
formats used by regular broadcasters).
Try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcaster’s web site.
If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at
http://www. reciva.com to notify Reciva so that they can update the
station data that is used by the radio.

Factory reset
If you wish to completely reset your radio to its initial state this may be
performed by following this procedure.
1. Use the Select control to switch on your radio and to access
the menus. If needed, use the Back option to access the main
Mode menu. Rotate the Select control until ‘Configure’ is highlighted
on the display.
2. Press the Select control to enter the Configure menu. Rotate the
Select control until ‘Factory Reset’ is highlighted on the display.
3. Press the Select control again and the display will show
‘Are you sure?’. Rotate the Select control to highlight ‘Yes’ if you
wish to carry out a system reset or highlight ‘No’ if wish to return
to the previous screen. Then press the Select control again.
4. A full reset will be performed, the station list together with any preset
stations will be erased and your wireless network connection details
will be lost. All configuration settings will be restored to their defaults,
and the language used for menus will be reset to English.
In the event that you are unable to access the menus (or if the language
setting has accidentally been changed to a language that you cannot
understand) the Factory Reset may also be performed as follows:
1. Remove all power from the unit and wait 30 seconds.
2. Then, re-apply power while simultaneously pressing and holding the
front panel rotary control. Keep this pressed as the radio powers up
and until it displays ‘Factory Reset Complete’. This should normally
only take between 10 and 15 few seconds. Then, release the control
while the radio restarts.
3. If this is not successful, please remove power for one minute,
and then repeat the operation.

Upgrade firmware
From time to time, new software features for your radio may be
developed. For example, a new audio decoder may be added to
allow an alternative audio format to be supported. You radio has
therefore been designed to allow its internal software to be upgraded
using your Internet connection. The upgrade mechanism is accessible
via the Configure menu.
Upgrading the software will remove all network settings, radio station
presets and alarm settings from your radio. Do not attempt this
procedure unless you have a good Internet connection and a reliable
mains power supply. If you connect to your router using a Wi-Fi
connection, make sure that this is also reliable before proceeding.
The Upgrade Firmware option allows your radio to download new
internal software from the Reciva portal on the Internet. If there is new
software available, then the radio will ask whether you want to download
it or not. Selecting No or using the Back optionwill cancel the operation.
A software upgrade may take several minutes.
IMPORTANT:
Do not switch off the power to the radio until the upgrade operation is
complete and the radio has restarted, otherwise the radio may become
permanently damaged.
Once the software upgrade is completed your radio will restart.
If you use a Wi-Fi connection, you will need to re-enter all network
settings in order to be able reconnect to your network. A firmware
update also erases all radio station presets, alarm settings,
and configuration options.
