SECTION 1: GETTING STARTED
To use SoundBridge you will need to do the following (detailed explanations follow):
I. Make sure you have a compatible music server installed. Compatible music servers include
iTunes,® Microsoft® Windows® Media Connect, Rhapsody,™ Musicmatch,® and others.
[Note: If you plan only to listen to Internet radio, you can skip this step because no music
server is needed.]
II. Connect SoundBridge to your Ethernet or Wi-Fi home network.
III. Connect SoundBridge to powered speakers or your home stereo system’s receiver or
amplifier.
IV. Plug in SoundBridge to AC power (there is no “on/off” switch).
V. Put batteries into your SoundBridge remote control.
VI. Establish a network connection. If you are using Wi-Fi and have WEP security enabled, you
will need to enter your security key with SoundBridge’s remote control.
VII. Enable any music sharing options required by your music server:
a. Windows Media Connect: authorize SoundBridge as a recognized device.
b. iTunes: enable Music Sharing feature in Preferences menu.
