Safe Mode

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.

SECTION 10: OPTIONS FOR SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

If you need to change your network settings or other system-level options, go to any Home Menu and select “Change Library or Conﬁguration”. Choose “System Conﬁguration” at the bottom of the next screen. You will see the following options:

Software Version & Updates: This option shows you which software version you have on SoundBridge and allows you to check if a newer version is available for download. SoundBridge will notify you automatically when a new software update is available after coming out of Standby mode. Use this option to check for new software manually.

Select Wi-Fi SSID & Password: This option allows you to check the name of the wireless network to which you are connected and select another one. Use this option to enter your network security key. See Appendix section “Wi-Fi Setup” for more information.

Show Wired Ethernet Status: This option displays your connectivity status, IP address and MAC address, among others.

Show Wi-Fi Status: Displays Wi-Fi signal strength.

Network Control: Enables or disables control of SoundBridge by a remote UPnP device.

Reset to Factory Defaults: Reset to original factory settings. Important: This will erase all Presets, Internet Radio favorites, network settings, and any other customizations made via the Settings menu or web page.

Restart SoundBridge: Power cycles SoundBridge and reboots the system.

Safe Mode runs automatically in the unlikely event that Soundbridge software becomes corrupted. While in Safe Mode you can download a new version of software from Roku or restore factory settings. When Soundbridge enters Safe Mode, you will see the text “Safe Mode” displayed superimposed over the Roku logo during the startup animation.

Safe Mode can also be entered manually by powering Soundbridge off by unplugging it from power, then plugging it in again while pressing and holding any button on the remote control during boot-up.
