standards. The only sure way to know if a radio station will play on SoundBridge is simply to
try it.

Changing Music Libraries

Press Menu on your remote control. Navigate down to “Change Library or Configuration” and
press Select. All your available libraries will be displayed. Press Select to access your desired
music library.

When You Are Finished Using SoundBridge

When you are finished playing music and using the SoundBridge altogether, just press the
Standby button on your remote.

If you plan to disconnect the SoundBridge from AC power after you are done using it, be sure
to press the Standby button first. This logs you out of the music server software running on
your computer.

Hint: If you unplug the SoundBridge from AC power five times without pressing
Standby on your remote first, iTunes will lock you out of connecting to the server. That’s
because iTunes allows a maximum of five users to connect at one time., and if you don’t
put SoundBridge into standby mode first, iTunes may believe you are still connected. To
restore your access to the iTunes server, close iTunes and then restart it. You should then
have no trouble connecting to the iTunes server as before.

Safe Mode

SoundBridge includes an option to run in “Safe Mode,” which is a mode with limited features
that is enabled automatically when SoundBridge detects that its software has become
corrupted. Its goal is to download a new version of software from Roku and to restore factory
settings. When SoundBridge enters Safe Mode, you will notice the text “Safe Mode” displayed
on the right side of the display. Your menu will only include options to update your software,
configure your network, and restore factory defaults.
