Select A Music Source

Once your Squeezebox Boom has successfully connected to your network, you will see a menu asking you to select your music source.

Select SqueezeNetwork, the free, Internet-based service operated by Logitech. When you connect to SqueezeNetwork, your Squeezebox Boom displays a unique code that you can use to link your Boom to your SqueezeNetwork account.

Go to www.squeezenetwork.com, select Players, and then enter the code in the Add A Player section of the page.

Play Some Music

You’re almost done! Playing an Internet radio station is a good way to check that everything is working correctly.

1.Go to the Home Screen by pressing HOME on the remote control.

2.Press DOWN on the remote control (or spin the navigation wheel to the right) until Internet Radio appears, and then press RIGHT on the remote

(or press the wheel).

3.Select Staff Picks.

4.Select Best of Internet Radio.

5.Scroll to Slim Showcase: Miles Davis and press PLAY.

6.Adjust the volume.

7.If you would like to add this station to your presets, press and hold one of the preset buttons.

TIP: Although there are six Preset buttons for quickly finding six of your favorite tracks, albums, or Internet radio stations, there is no limit to the number

of favorites you can save. Assigning an item to one of the Preset buttons automatically adds it to your Favorites, as well. To add an item to your favorites without assigning it to a Preset button, click the wheel or press RIGHT on the remote, and then select Add to favorites.
