The date selection works the same way — you can choose the format that best fits your geographic standard or your personal preference.

To disable the date/time display altogether when SoundBridge is in standby, select the corresponding option on this page.

Don’t forget to click the “Update” button for the date or time configuration once you’ve changed it. Since the update buttons correspond separately to date, time, time zone, etc, you should only update one section at a time, then press the appropriate update button.

When you are finished, simply close your web page.

Language Setup

SoundBridge will prompt you for your desired language the first time you set up the unit. If you would like to change the language after the initial setup, use the SoundBridge web page. Please see section 7 of this user guide for instructions on launching your SoundBridge web page. Then, choose the “Configuration” tab. You can choose your language in one of two ways:

1.From the drop down menu titled “Select Language”, choose from the options available. (Currently, SoundBridge ships with the following language options: English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish, Japanese, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Click the “Change” button to switch to the chosen language.

2.If your language is not listed in the above options, you can upload a Language Resource File containing the instructions to display another language. To see if a third-party translation already exists for your desired language, please visit: www.rokulabs.com/support/ international. To download and edit or “translate” this file for your language, click on the “View Current Language Resource File” link. To upload a resource file that you or another third party has created, use the Browse button on the web page to locate the file on your computer’s hard drive, then click “Update” to load it into SoundBridge.

Hint: You can always revert to SoundBridge’s built-in default languages by clicking the Revert button on the bottom of the Language settings area.

When you are finished editing your language settings, simply close your web page.

Standby and Reboot Options

 

On the SoundBridge “Configuration” Web page, under “Options”, you can specify how

 

SoundBridge behaves while in Standby mode and after powering up. Standby options include:

 

Display clock, Screen off. Reboot options include: Return to last state, Enter Standby, Reconnect

 

to last source, and Show Server List. (These options are useful if, for example, your SoundBridge

 

is connected to a power strip with other equipment, and you would like it to remain in standby

 

even after the power returns to the unit.)

 

WMA Lossless Transcoding

 

This is an option that only needs adjusting if you are having trouble with WMA Lossless

 

playback. Reducing the Bitrate will help SoundBridge tell the difference between WMA and

 

WMA Lossless based on the Bitrate of the stream. (For more information about this feature,

 

please visit Roku’s user forum at rokulabs.com/support.)

 

FLAC and Ogg-Vorbis Transcoding

 

You can use the Firefly media server to transcode your audio files from FLAC or Ogg-Vorbis to

 

be playable on SoundBridge. For more information about the Firefly media server, please see

 

the Music Server section of the Getting Started chapter of this manual.

 

Programming a Universal Remote Control

 

Roku has made available for download a “CCF file” with all of the remote control codes

 

supported by the SoundBridge and SoundBridge Radio. A CCF file is a remote control

 

configuration file compatible with Pronto programmable universal remotes made by Philips

 

and other brands. Some other programmable universal remotes can also use or import CCF

 

files. Please consult the instructions for your particular remote control to see if you can use a

 

CCF file.

The SoundBridge CCF file includes all of the functions available on the standard SoundBridge

 

remote, as well as some additional special-purpose and direct-access commands that may be

 

of interest to some users. These functions include: discrete power on/off; stop; Preset keys for

 

all 18 Presets; keys for all the Browse options; and, keys to directly access Internet radio, AM/FM

 

radio (SoundBridge Radio only), and the last-used music server library.
