Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set my favorite Internet radio stations?

You have two ways to set your favorite radio stations.

Using the Media Link’s LCD screen, scroll down to Internet Radio. Select the radio station you would like to set as your favorite. Press the Select button on the remote, and select Add to Favorites. Then press the Select button again.

If you already know the URL for the station you would like to play, access the Media Link’s Web-based Utility. Click the Favorites tab. Enter the station’s name and URL. Click the Apply button to save your changes. The Media Link will restart itself after you click the Apply button. If it does not restart automatically, power the Media Link off and back on again.

What kind of Internet radio stations does the Media LInk support?

The Media LInk currently supports only Internet radio stations that broadcast via MP3 streaming. The Media LInk will not play stations that broadcast via Windows Media Audio or Real Audio.

Can I have more than one Media Server on my network?

You can switch to a different Media Server using the LCD screen. Scroll down to Media Server, and press the right arrow button. Then select the Media Server you want to use.

Can I use the digital output to play music streamed from the Rhapsody service?

No. Music streamed from Rhapsody will not play from the digital output. In its music stream, Rhapsody embeds

I have my own speakers. Can I use them with the Media Link?

Yes, if they are powered speakers. The Media Link’s RCA outputs are pre-amp outputs, so they have to be connected to an amplified source. The Media Link will not work with non-powered speakers.

The 802.11b standard allows wireless networking hardware from different manufacturers to communicate, provided that the hardware complies with the 802.11b standard.
