IX. Playing Music

VIII. Choosing Your Music Library

Once your SoundBridge is successfully connected to your network and your server’s music sharing options are enabled, it will automatically find your computer’s music server and detect any supported music libraries. After SoundBridge detects your music library, you will be prompted to choose the library you would like to access from a screen that looks something like this:

PLAY DAN’S MUSIC LIBRARY

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Navigate to your preferred library (in this case, “Dan’s music library”) and press Select. You will then see the “Main Menu,” where you can begin browsing and playing your music.

If instead you see the message [NO MUSIC LIBRARIES FOUND], your network is not connecting to your computer properly or your music library is not found. Please choose SYSTEM CONFIGURATION for troubleshooting your network connection. (Make sure your computer is turned on, your server is running, and music sharing is enabled.)

After you have successfully connected to your music library, SoundBridge will automatically connect to that library upon startup (provided you only have one music library to choose from). If you would like to return to the screen that allows you to choose your desired libraries manually, select the “CHANGE LIBRARY OR CONFIGURATION” option located at the bottom of SoundBridge’s Main Menu (accessible by pressing the Menu button).

Visit www.rokulabs.com/support for help if you are still having trouble connecting to your music library. Check to make sure your router is compatible with SoundBridge — a list of compatible wireless access points is available at www.rokulabs.com/support.

You are now ready to begin playing music. Using your remote control, find a song you want to play, then press Select twice to play it immediately. See page 15, “Music Playback,” for more detailed instructions about browsing and playing music.

X. Setting Display Preferences (optional)

The brightness of your display can be adjusted by pressing the Bright button.

Text size can also be controlled for the SoundBridge M1000 and M2000’s VFD display by pressing the Bright button. Contrast can be controlled this way for models that allow contrast control.

Also, from the Main Menu, you can navigate down to the SETTINGS option to change the appearance of the music visualizer, such as whether it appears full screen during playback, and what kind of information is displayed when a song is playing.

For a complete list of SoundBridge settings, please see the “Advanced Features” section of this user guide.

XI. Mounting SoundBridge on the Wall (optional)

Your SoundBridge ships with a portable black rubber table stand which looks great on your shelf or night stand. An optional wall mounting kit is available for sale at www.rokulabs.com/ buy. This allows the SoundBridge to be mounted to the wall or under a cabinet using a sleek, hidden bracket which screws into your wall. For more information, please visit Roku’s web site.
