III. Hooking Up Your Home Network Hardware (Wired Ethernet or Wireless)

Ethernet Connection

Plug your cable into the jack provided on the right side of the rear of the unit. Connect your Ethernet cable to a hub, switch or router on your home network. Alternatively, you can connect SoundBridge directly to your computer (and bypass a hub/switch/router), but only with a “crossover” cable (sold separately). Connect the other end of the cable to your network.

Wireless Connection

No need to install any additional hardware into SoundBridge. Please note that most, but not all, wireless access points are compatible with SoundBridge. You can find a list of supported wireless hardware at www.rokulabs.com/support.

IV. Hooking Up Your Speakers or Stereo System

Connect your choice of audio cables into the back left side of SoundBridge depending on your preferred connection option.

b. Connect the RCA (red/white) audio cable included with your SoundBridge to your stereo system’s Aux or other “Line Input” and connect the other end of this cable to SoundBridge’s Analog 1/8” Miniplug connector.

c.Connect to your stereo system using either coaxial SPDIF digital or optical SPDIF digital (the SoundBridge has connectors for both) — cables sold separately.
