Setting Up Your SoundBridge Radio

To use SoundBridge Radio you will need to:

1.Put the included AAA batteries into your remote control. Make sure there is no object blocking the IR receiver located on the right side of your SoundBridge Radio display.

2.Attach the AM and FM radio antennas. At the rear of the unit, the FM antenna plugs into the FM connector labeled “FM” and the AM antenna plugs into the AM connector labeled “AM.”

3.Plug the power cord into the back of SoundBridge Radio, then into an electric AC power outlet. There is no power switch to turn on SoundBridge Radio. As soon as you plug in the power, you should see the Roku logo and the SoundBridge Radio welcome message.

4.Answer the questions on your display to configure SoundBridge Radio. SoundBridge Radio will then search for your Wi-Fi network and automatically connect (or prompt you to enter a WEP password). If SoundBridge Radio cannot find a network and you only want to listen to AM/FM radio or music from your SD card, press Exit [ ] on your remote control and begin tuning to a radio station. If you want to configure the network connection later, have more than one network, or use a security key, see Appendix 2: “Wi-Fi Setup Help.”

Note: The included AM antenna works well for strong, local stations. If you find that a particular station does not come in clearly or is “noisy”, you may wish to consider an alternative antenna. (We’ve found that the Terk AM-1000 “AM Advantage” works well.) Since many AM antennas come with two bare wires, we have included a small adaptor. If you have this bare wire type of antenna, plug the adaptor into the AM antenna jack on the unit, and then connect each wire of your antenna to one of the two wires of the adaptor by twisting the wires together. Then wrap some tape around the bare wire so that the two wires don’t touch.

When a software update is available, your SoundBridge Radio will automatically offer you the choice to upgrade. Please take a minute to do so. You’ll just need SoundBridge Radio connected to a network with a high-speed Internet connection. Roku will release a revised user guide in PDF format periodically to explain new features or functions that have been added to the SoundBridge software.
