Set up your first Roomplayer

Step 3 Download and install your

Desktop Controller.

Installing the Desktop Controller is the last step in the setup process. It is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple OSX computers and must be installed on at least one computer on the same network as your Roomplayer/s.

To start downloading the software, go to www.simpleaudio.com/support/software . Choose the correct version of the software for your computer then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup.

Register your Roomplayer online and you will get notification of new software updates. Visit www.simpleaudio.net/register and complete the form.

Want to play music from more than one computer?

Repeat the download and installation steps for each computer you want to use to play and share music. All computers must be connected to the same network.

Is your operating system compatible?

Check your computer for the information you need. Select

‘View System Information’ or ‘System Properties’ on a PC.

If you are using a Mac, select the Apple icon in the top left

corner of your desktop and choose ‘About this Mac’.

12

Set up your Desktop Controller

Use the wizard to setup your system, discover music libraries and more.

Step 1 Configure your system using the wizard

The Wizard will help you set up your Roomplayer/s, create users and find music libraries. It will appear during the installation of your Desktop Controller and will guide you through the process step by step. Don’t worry if you don’t get everything right first time, you can always change your settings from the System menu.

Step 2 Choose a Master

The system will automatically detect any Roomplayers that are on your network and switched on. This may take several minutes. If no Roomplayers are detected a message will appear on your computer screen to tell you. This will also be displayed when connected Roomplayers are switched off.

You must select a Master, even if you only have one

Roomplayer. It is responsible for indexing all your music and takes control of any additional Roomplayers you own. Make sure one Roomplayer is ticked before clicking next.

How long does a Roomplayer take to start up?

The red LED goes out when your Roomplayer has connected to your network. It takes approx. 1 minute.

How do I choose a Master?

If you have more than one Roomplayer, choose the one least likely to be switched off. If your Master is switched off, the other Roomplayers will not operate until it is switched back on or a new Master is nominated. You will need to re-index your music libraries if you select a new Master.

13

Set up your Desktop Controller

Step 3 Setup your Roomplayer

Step 4 Create a username

Select a Roomplayer from the list and type in a new name.

If you have more than one Roomplayer and you haven’t named them, you may need to identify them first. If you tick the identify box the white LED of that Roomplayer will flash until another Roomplayer is selected or the Roomplayer

Setup window in your Desktop Controller is closed.

Want to use an external DAC?

If you do, select digital as your audio output.

External devices too quiet?

Adjust the gain settings for your front and rear line inputs.

It’s essential to set up a username if you want to create favourites for your libraries, radio stations and more. If you have multiple users on the system, you may want to ensure that everyone has a profile set up. User profiles are not password protected. All libraries are available to everyone, each user may wish to customise how they view these libraries.

To create a username, select New User then type in your name. Repeat for each new user.

14

Set up your Desktop Controller

Step 5 Search for music libraries

The Desktop Controller will automatically search for the default iTunes library stored on your computer. If your Desktop

Controller does not detect a music library automatically, perhaps its default location has changed. If this happens you can search for it manually.

If you want to access a library manually, select Access new

library then navigate to any folder on your computer where music may be stored. Select the library you wish to access, ensure the check box is ticked and press next to start indexing. Press Finish at any time to complete the setup.

Music will appear in your Desktop Controller as it is being indexed.

Do we move, copy or change music?

It’s good to know that your Desktop Controller will never move, copy or change music, wherever it’s stored. Instead it creates a list of all the music libraries it can find (this is called indexing). It presents them to you in the main window of your Desktop Controller.

What kind of music libraries can I add?

You can access iTunes libraries, Windows Media Player folder libraries and many other folder-based libraries.

Supported music file types

We recommend that you use the highest definition files possible for best audio performance. Smaller compressed files can still sound good but contain much less audio data. You will be able to play most file formats including:

We do not support WMA or DRM files.

Want to know more about music file formats?

A full description of file formats and their strengths and weaknesses is available at www.simpleaudio.com/support/faqs

15

Set up your Desktop Controller

Configure your system manually

You can manually configure your system at any time. Select

System from the main menu, choose the appropriate option from the drop down menu and make your changes.

Update your software

Your Desktop Controller can be set up to automatically look for software updates. You will be presented with this option when you launch the software a second time. Set your

Desktop Controller to automatically search for updates

so you don’t miss out on anything important. You can also check for updates manually by selecting Help then

Check for updates.

Want to see a list of system software updates?

Visit our website www.simpleaudio.com/support/software

16

Personalise your Desktop Controller

Once you have a user profile set up, you can personalise your music libraries, playlists and more.

Control where your music plays

If you have a multiroom system (more than one Roomplayer) you can control where the music plays from the drop down menu. If you have multiple users make sure you have the correct username selected.

Your Roomplayer will always default to playing music through your Master Roomplayer after it has been switched off and on again.

Personalise music libraries

Use your user profile to select the libraries you want to use and play or to deselect the ones you don’t. Go to System,

Manage User, select your username and tick the check box next to the libraries you want to display and use, or untick the check box next to the libraries you don’t want to display. This won’t delete the library.

If you add or delete any tracks from your iTunes library or other music folder you can either wait for your system to recognise the changes, or you can force your library to re-index. To do this, go to System, Music Libraries and right click on the library you want to re-index.

Want to rename a music library?

Go to Music Libraries, right click the library you want to rename and type in a new name.

What can I do if a music library is unavailable?

If a library is marked as ‘unavailable’ this maybe because the computer or laptop that held the library has been switched off or removed from your network. The library will instantly return when this computer is switched on again.

17

Create playlists

Set up favourite radio stations

You can create any number of playlists consisting of tracks or albums in your libraries. Select Music Library, Playlists and Add playlist. You can drag and drop individual tracks or entire albums.

How can I see all playlists?

Select All Users from the drop down menu to see and play music from any playlist on your system. You cannot edit another users playlist.

TuneIn is integrated into your Simple Audio system. To select an internet radio station select TuneIn Radio then

Add favourite stations. Click the save icon beside a station to save it to your radio playlist. It will then appear in your favourite stations in the main menu. We support MP3 and

AAC radio stations. We do not support WMA or REAL radio streams.

Store music streaming service login details

When you register with a music streaming service such as we7 or Deezer (find out how in the next section), you will receive a username and password. You must use these details (not your Simple Audio login details) when you login for the first time via your Desktop Controller.

To log in, first check that your username is selected, then sign in with your music service credentials. The Desktop Controller will then save your details under your username so that you do not have to enter them again.

If you have multiple users, it’s a good idea to set up individual accounts so that everyone can listen to their favourite music.

18

Radio and music streaming services

Listen to your favourite radio stations and login to music streaming services.

Listen to radio stations

Listen to thousands of free internet radio stations and programs from all over the world using the TuneIn radio service. This service is free of charge and requires no registration.

Having trouble with playback?

If a radio station won’t play it maybe the wrong format.

You can check compatible formats on the TuneIn website.

The audio quality you receive is also dependant upon the radio station broadcast quality and your broadband speed.

If problems persist, check with the radio broadcaster or contact your Internet Service Provider.

Listen to streaming music services

The first music streaming services available through Simple

Audio are we7 and Deezer. Register with one or both services to access their music.

Set up an account with we7

To set up an account with we7, register at www.we7.com

.

The basic service is free to all users, but please check the terms and conditions.

20

Set up additional Roomplayers

If you want to listen to music throughout your home, add another Roomplayer wherever you want.

One Roomplayer will play music through one set of loudspeakers or one amplified device. If you want to play music elsewhere in your home, you will need another

Roomplayer connected to loudspeakers or an amplified device

– this is a multiroom system.

Add additional Roomplayers at any time and manage them from your Desktop Controller or your iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad. To get started, follow the instructions in step 1 and 2.

We recommend that you make all connections before you apply power.

Step 1 Connect your loudspeakers and any audio inputs or outputs.

Connect your loudspeakers and/or any audio inputs or outputs to your new Roomplayer, then attach the mains lead, plug it into your wall socket and switch on. More information on connecting devices to either Roomplayer I or II can be

found on page 6.

How many Roomplayers?

The integrated PowerLine technology provides you with more bandwidth than other audio networks. You can connect up to 16 rooms, but remember, different music file formats and connectivity methods may affect the quality of the service if you connect this many Roomplayers.

21

Set up additional Roomplayers

Step 2 Pair your new Roomplayer.

You must pair your new Roomplayer with one of your existing

Roomplayers. This process will connect it to your existing network using PowerLine communication technology. To start the pairing process, follow these instructions:

You should not connect an Ethernet cable to your new

Roomplayer.

Troubleshooting

If you just can’t get something to work, check this list first.

Symptom Possible solution

No power indicator

No sound from any source

No sound from iPod, iPhone, TV etc.

Can’t control Roomplayers using the iOS

Controller app

Music library is ‘unavailable’

Can’t see or save radio stations or playlists

Can’t see some of my albums

Can’t see some of my artwork

Check the power outlet and the fuse. If both are working, there may be a fault with the Roomplayer. Speak to your retailer and arrange for the unit to be checked.

Check that your Roomplayer is on and appearing in your Desktop

Controller software. Check the connections to all components in the system are correct. Check that the volume on your Desktop

Controller is turned up. If you have connected headphones, this will mute the sound. Check that your speakers or other external amplifiers are connected and switched on.

If you have connected an external device like an iPod, iPhone or TV you should make sure that it is playing and that its volume control is set correctly. You may also wish to alter the gain settings via your Desktop Controller found under System,

Roomplayer Setup.

Check that your mobile device is within range of your wireless router. The signal strength indicator at the top of your iPod screen will show the quality of the connection. If you have a signal, check that your device is on the same network as the Roomplayers, it is possible that your device has joined another network

Check that the computer that stores the music library is switched on and still on your network. The library will reappear when the computer rejoins your network.

Check that you have set up a user profile. If you have, you will need to select your username. If you still can’t see radio stations then it is possible that your internet connection is down. Once connected you will be able to see and save radio stations for individual users.

Check the ‘R’ button in Library view. This lists the number of albums that have not been imported. It is often the case that missing albums have incompatible file formats.

Your Desktop Controller will show the artwork stored in your original music library. Check that you can see it in your iTunes library or your current media player. If not visit our FAQ’s for detailed information.
