Safe Mode
SoundBridge includes an option to run in “Safe Mode,” which is a mode with limi ted features
that is enabled automatically when SoundBridge detects that it s software has become
corrupted. Its goal is to download a new version of software fro m Roku and to restore factory
settings. When SoundBridge enters Safe Mode, you will notice the te xt “Safe Mode” displayed
on the right side of the display. Your menu will only include options to update your software
and restore factory defaults.
While in Safe Mode, your stored network settings will not be re called. Therefore it will be
necessary to connect SoundBridge via Ethernet befo re SoundBridge can connect to the
Internet in order to download new software.
Safe Mode can also be entered manually by powering SoundBridge of f (by unplugging it from
power) and on again, while at the same time pressing and holding any button on the re mote
control.
Restoring Factory Default Settings
To restore SoundBridge’s factory default settings, press Home Me nu, select “Change Library or
Configuration,” then select System Configuration, then select “ Reset to Factory Defaults.”
