Here we have attempted to give an overview of the various types of service available and the terminology you may encounter. INTERNET RADIO These are radio stations broadcast over the internet. Currently the StreamMagic range can access about 20,000 internet radio stations all sorted by us into Location, Language and Genre. The list of available stations is constantly maintained and automatically updated to your unit via the internet. You can set your own presets via the Cambridge Connect app or the front panel of the player. You can also add stations to your units that are currently not in the Stream Magic's Radio database, suggest new stations to us and more. There are also links and help for setting up third-party Streaming Services from a wide variety of other suppliers. Other Stream Magic features will be launched in the future, check the website from time to time to see the latest developments. STREAMING SERVICES Streaming Services are similar to Internet Radio but come from other suppliers and often have an element of interaction with the user. Because Streaming Services generally allow the user some choice over the content they listen to, they are also licensed differently to Internet Radio by the music companies and often each service only has arrangements in certain countries and may also charge a subscription for membership. Examples of such services are Spotify, Pandora, TIDAL and others. All allow some control of the content from the ability to select and play whole albums of your choice, playlists or an artists back catalogue. Some also offer the ability to download content for use off-line as well. These services come from third parties and although we support connections to them via our Connect app or the units' webmin page; we do not create their content and are not responsible for their service in any way. Your streaming account is with the streaming service only. We are merely acting as an intermediary to make the connection simpler and more convenient. We will support the correct software on our unit to allow playback and browsing of their content. NETWORK MEDIA The Evo 75/Evo 150 support a wide range of compressed formats; MP3, AAC, WMA and Ogg Vorbis CODEC types are all supported, plus for true audiophile use it also supports either uncompressed PCM (in a WAV container) or losslessly compressed FLAC, both can contain from 16-bits/44.1kHz from CDs right up to 24-bit/192kHz for better than CD quality from suitable download sites. Note: For this to work your server will also need to support the CODEC you wish to play as some have limitations and may not serve FLAC for instance. Always check that the server you wish to use also supports your favoured CODECs. Also for lossless/uncompressed formats both the server and network connection will need to sustain the high bitrate necessary. Note: It is not recommended to use Wi-Fi connections for content above 24bits, 96kHz if lossless/uncompressed. USB MEDIA The Evo 75/Evo 150 also support USB Media from USB Flash-disks or USB hard-drives and has 3 USB 2.0 ports for this purpose. Here the Evo 75/Evo 150 simply browse the folders present on the media attached and displays them. Only content that the Evo 75/Evo 150 can play will be shown. This feature is provided for convenient access to temporary storage devices. It is however highly recommended that UPnP is used for continued use of stored media as the UPnP system is able to support album art, sophisticated content browsing and filtering and other features not possible with simple folder browsing. Note: Supports NTFS and FAT32 file system. PODCASTS Podcasts are archived audio recordings downloadable over the internet. Often podcasts are recordings of previous live broadcasts or episodic content. The Evo 75/Evo 150 support various third party podcast services, navigate to Podcasts on the unit for the list available in your area. In addition the Evo 75/Evo 150support your own personal choice of podcasts where you know its URL (weblink) via the Webmin page. When designing our Evo 75/Evo 150 we include features that allow you to connect your system in various ways. The inclusion of features such as Pre-

Out and Speaker B connections mean that you can flexibly configure your system depending on your requirements. Important Note: When using a banana plug, make sure the speaker terminals are completely tightened before inserting the plug. BASIC CONNECTIONS The diagram below shows the basic connection of your Evo 75/Evo 150 to a pair of loudspeakers. Right Loudspeaker A Left Loudspeaker A 48 48 SPEAKER B CONNECTIONS (EVO 150 ONLY) The Speaker B connections on the back of the amplifier allow for a second set of speakers to be used (i.e. speakers located in another room).

The Evo 150 can also be connected to non-Cambridge Audio sources with balanced outputs. XLR In R L Balanced Audio Output Balanced Audio Output Line Output Line Output Line Output Balanced connections in an audio system are designed to reject electrical noise, from power wiring etc, and also the effects of noise currents flowing through ground connections. The basic principle of balanced interconnection is to get the signal you want by subtraction, using a three-

wire connection. One signal wire (the hot or in-phase) carries the normal signal, while other (the cold or phase-inverted) carries an inverted version. The balanced input senses the difference between the two lines to give the wanted signal. Any noise voltages that appear identically on both lines

(these are called common-mode signals) are cancelled by the subtraction. The Evo 150 is designed to work at its highest performance when a balanced interconnect is used. Note: To select the XLR in (balanced input) on the Evo 150, rotate the back part of the source selector . USB AUDIO CONNECTION (EVO 150 ONLY) The Evo 150 USB input enable the playback of audio files or streamed programme from Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OS X personal computers (and some Linux builds). When connected via USB the personal computer will identify the Evo 150 as an audio device. Specifying the Evo 150 in the computers audio control panel will enable it to play audio data either stored locally on the computer or streamed to the computer via a network or the internet. USB Audio Ground Switch 1 2 3 ADVANCED USB AUDIO The Evo 150 is both USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) and USB 1.1 (Full-speed) USB port compatible. It should also work with the new USB 3.0 ports where the PC will simply treat the Evo 150 as if it were a USB 2.0 or 1.1 device. The Evo 150 supports two USB Audio protocols (not the same as the port types themselves) USB Audio Class 1 (which works over USB 1.1 ports and supports up to 24-bit/96kHz) or USB Audio Class 2 (which requires a USB 2.0 port and can support up to 32-bit/384kHz). (asynchronous) and up to DSD-256. The default configuration is USB Audio Class 2. See our online guide at www.cambridgeaudio.com/USB-Audio on USB Audio for more details. With careful choice of playback software and settings many pitfalls can be avoided. Windows based PCs required a Cambridge Audio USB driver to be installed before connection. USB mode can be selected in the Setup menu. See 'Setup' section. A brief explanation of your choices are below:

USE WITH PCS With the Evo 150 switched to USB Audio Class 1 the Evo 150 will work with the native Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 8 Audio 1.0 driver (no need to load any new driver) and accept audio up to 24-bit/96kHz. With the Evo 150 switched to USB Audio Class 2 the Evo 150 needs the Cambridge Audio USB Audio 2.0 Driver to be loaded and can then accept up to 32-bit/384kHz. The driver is available from www.cambridgeaudio.com/USB-Audio USE WITH MACS No extra drivers are required. With the Evo 150 switched to USB Audio 1.0 the Evo 150 will work with the native Mac OS-X 10.5 (Leopard) or above Audio 1.0 driver and accept audio up to 24-bit/96kHz. With the Evo 150 switched to USB Audio Class 2 the Evo 150 works with the native Mac OS-X 10.5 (Leopard) or above Audio 2.0 driver and can accept audio up to 32-bit/384kHz. USE WITH LINUX For most builds of Linux with the Evo 150 switched to USB Audio Class 1 the Evo 150 will work with the native Audio 1.0 driver and accept audio up to 24-bit/96kHz. Some very new builds of Linux are now supporting USB Audio Class 2 for which the Evo 150 should be switched to Audio 2.0 to accept audio up to 32-bit/384kHz. For both cases because Linux builds vary according to their creators choice of software components including drivers it is not possible to guarantee operation and Audio drivers may need to be loaded.

'Class drivers' as they are called for generic support of Audio Class 1.0 or Audio Class 2.0 devices may be available from the Linux community, we do not supply these. Always turn the volume to minimum, switch to another input or turn the Evo 150 off before plugging/

unplugging cables to the USB input or whilst booting up/shutting down your PC/Mac. Note: Always use a high quality USB connection cable certified as USB Hi- Speed. USB cable connections longer than 3m may result in inconsistent audio performance. 10 LeftLoudspeakerRS-232CRLARightLoudspeakerBBA12IR InTrigger In1 2 3GroundSwitchPre-Out48 48 Power ACMax Power Consumption: 700WSerial no. fitted on undersidePower Rating:100V-240V~50/60HzGroundUSB MediaEthernetOptical InXLR InAux InMM PhonoTV ARCCDUSB AudioCoax InSub-OutTrigger OutLeftLoudspeakerRS-232CRLARightLoudspeakerBBA12IR InTrigger In1 2 3GroundSwitchPre-Out48 48 Power ACMax Power Consumption: 700WSerial no. fitted on undersidePower Rating:100V-240V~50/60HzGroundUSB MediaEthernetOptical InXLR InAux InMM PhonoTV ARCCDUSB AudioCoax InSub-OutTrigger OutRLXLR In NETWORK CONNECTIONS Before you can use your Evo 75/Evo 150 for Radio/Streaming you must have the following:

Place the Evo 75/Evo 150 in range of your wireless network (usually 10-30m of a suitable wireless transmitter, although this is affected by walls and the construction of your building) and turn it on, via the back panel switch and then on the front panel. The Evo 75/Evo 150 will automatically connect and obtain an IP address from your wireless network. For advanced users, if you would like to give your Evo 75/Evo 150 a static IP address, then see the 'Network config'

section of the manual. Note: If you make a mistake at any point, you can always press the button to go back to the previous screen. The unit will now scan for all available wireless networks and will display

"Scanning". If it cant find one then the display will say: "No Wireless Networks Found". If this happens then you need to either move the Evo 75/Evo 150 nearer your wireless access point or investigate any issues with your wireless network. When the Evo 75/Evo 150 find your wireless network, it displays the broadcast name (ESSID) for the access point this is a name allocated to the access point by whoever set up the network, it may either be a default name for your router/wireless or may be a more familiar name such as "Johns Wi-Fi" etc. If your Evo 75/Evo 150 find more than one wireless network you can simply choose which one you want to connect to. Turn the rotary dial to see the ESSID for each wireless network. When the ESSID for the wireless network you want to connect to is displayed on the screen, press the SELECT button. If your network is not configured with an encryption code, the screen should say "Connecting to network" then "Network OK". If the screen displays either "Enter WEP key" or "Enter WPA key", then the network is using one of the supported encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You now need to enter your correct WEP or WPA code. The person who set up the wireless network in the first place will know what this code is (or be able to reset it to a new known code); if that person is not you, then you need to find out what it is. After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entry mode. To enter the code, use the rotary dial to select each character of the code in turn, pressing the SELECT button after entering each character. Note: The WEP and WPA codes are case sensitive, so you must enter them exactly. character and press the After entering the final character, use the front part of rotary dial to select the button. Its a little fiddly but you will only need to do this once. The Evo 75/Evo 150 will remember this code and use it automatically from now on. The unit should now be able to connect to the network. Note: We recommend rebooting your Evo 75/Evo 150 to search for any firmware updates, as new firmware may have been released since your unit was manufactured. Getting connected A broadband internet connection (such as ADSL) to a suitable internet service provider (ISP). A network connection either wirelessly via 802.11b/g/n or ac Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet connection (10 or 100 M bits/sec via an RJ45 connection). Note: For playback of high sample rate files (24-bits/176.4kHz &

24-bits/192kHz) streamed from your home network, we recommend using an Ethernet connection to avoid unwanted disruption as the high data rate of these files is beyond most Wi-Fi networks capability. In many cases the broadband modem, router and wireless access point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service Provider or bought from a computer store. If your wireless network is configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption then you will need to know your WEP or WPA key so you can get the Evo 75/Evo 150 to communicate with the network. IMPORTANT:

Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point or router is powered up and working with your broadband internet service (use your computer to verify this). To get this part of the system working you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point or router. The Evo 75/Evo 150 can be configured to connect to a Wired or Wireless network or has an (default) Auto setting. In Auto the Evo 75/Evo 150 looks for a each connection type and selects whichever is present. You can also force the unit to one or the other connection type, see later Settings section. CONNECTING TO A WIRED NETWORK Ethernet INTERNET ETHERNET CABLE BROADBAND ROUTER/MODEM Plug one end of a network cable (Category 5/5E straight through Ethernet cable) into the LAN port on the back of the unit. Note: Only connect the LAN port of the player to an Ethernet port that supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. Connecting to any other ports or jacks, such as a phone jack, can damage the unit The Evo 75/Evo 150 should automatically connect to your network as below via DHCP; this means it will be given an IP address by your router automatically.

You can return to this menu at any time by pressing the button. Simply scroll through the items with the front part of scroll wheel and press in the button or use the Enter button on the remote to select the item you want. PRESETS The Evo 75/Evo 150 support presets. These can be Internet Radio stations or streams from most Streaming Services. UPnP/USB Media cannot be set as a preset. To add a station/stream to a preset, first select that stream for playback in the normal way. Now press the 'Home' button on the remote and navigate to the Presets menu. Note: Empty presets are not displayed. To save a presets to an empty location, select 'Set Preset' and all slots will be displayed. Select the preset location you require and press the Navigation/Select dial or the Enter button on the remote to save the current station/stream to that preset. Recalling presets is done simply by selecting the Presets button on the remote or via the Home menu. Note:

online. The Evo 75/Evo 150 load the presets for display from our Stream Magic servers over the internet, thus they can take a few seconds to appear. All saved Presets will be deleted when a unit is registered/re-registered RADIO The Stream Magic Internet Radio service brings thousands of internet radio stations to you. The sheer choice available on the internet allows you to find new music, listen to stations in your native language (or perhaps if you are learning another one), from your home town or by your Genre of choice. It has to be said that the audio quality of internet radio varies greatly dependant on the bitrate and compression technology used by the broadcaster, but the choice more than makes up for this. Internet Radio allows you to explore and find new music from all over the world. Note: As an 'aggregator' service we are simply organising the browsing and connection process for these stations so that you dont have to manually search for them or type in any URLs (web links) etc to access them. Whilst we regularly check the stations to make sure they are still transmitting reliably and in reasonable quality, we are not responsible for their content in any way. If there is a station you would like added to the list that isn't currently available, please email us at support@cambridgeaudio.com and we will be more than happy to look into the availability of this. HOW TO USE RADIO Press the button to return to the top-level menu. Select Radio from the list using the rotary dial then press the select it. The Evo 75/Evo 150 display the following submenus. button to RADIO Location Genre Search Radio Stations You can now turn the rotary dial to choose from Location, Genre, Search Radio Stations, Streaming Services or Podcasts. Location Enables you to choose from the stations in any of the countries which you choose from a list. Genre Enables you to choose radio stations according to their declared content, for example Classic Rock, Sport, News, etc. Search Radio Stations Enables you to search for a station you know the name of. Enter the full name or first part of the name for your desired station. The Evo 75/Evo 150 will bring up a list of all stations that contain a word that starts with your search term. Note: Although we check the stations for continuity of service, some radio stations do not broadcast 24 hours per day, and some stations may not always be on-line. MUSIC LIBRARY The Evo 75/Evo 150 can access media from UPnP/DNLA Servers or USB Media connected via USB. The Evo 75/Evo 150 display the following submenus:

UPnP is by far the preferred method as it allows for browsing by artist, album and other methods, has support for control from Wi-Fi controller and the media can be shared amongst several devices. UPNP SERVERS Your Evo 75/Evo 150 can connect with Computers or Network Attached Storage devices that feature a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) AV Server. When using a UPnP server to share your media, the search and selection criteria are determined by the server and not the Evo 75/Evo 150, but typically include Album, Artist and additional options such as Genre. As long as the Evo 75/Evo 150 is correctly configured for your Network, it will automatically discover and connect to UPnP servers it finds. It will then allow navigation of the menu structure coming from that server. There are many suitable UPnP server software packages available for PC and Mac. Stand-alone servers and Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices with built in UPnP server capabilities are also available. Please see the set-

up guides on our website at https://techsupport.cambridgeaudio.com/. Once you have setup a suitable server, navigate to the My Library menu and press Select. The Evo 75/Evo 150 will perform a scan of your network and report any UPnP Servers it finds. If none are found it will display "No Servers Found"

on the display. If a server or servers are found, UPnP server names will be displayed and you can select which one youd like to get the contents from. Select the server you want and the Evo 75/Evo 150 will then load the appropriate menu structure from that sever. These typically allows you to browse the content by Album, Artist, Genre etc. It is important to understand that the menu structure here is coming from the Server and not the Evo 75/Evo 150. You can now browse and select any music content in a format the Evo 75/

Evo 150 support (currently AAC, MP3, WMA, AIFF, FLAC, WAV and Ogg Vorbis). Note: Not all servers support serving of all these formats. Always make sure the server you choose also supports your formats of choice. For example, Windows Media Server does not currently serve FLAC format. ALPHANUMERIC SEARCH This is a search function menu inserted by the Evo 75/Evo 150 into the browse tree of UPnP servers that support an external search function. Where available you can select Alphanumeric search and then enter the name or partial name of an album or track you wish to find. Simply select each character in order using the Navigation/Select dial or the navigational buttons on the remote, using the dial, rotate to each character and then press in to select or press the Enter button on the remote.

Settings SETTINGS Network Firmware Audio Standby Mode Automatic Power-down Language Display Brightness Device Name Edit Input Names Factory Reset NETWORK This menu enables you to set your Evo 75/Evo 150s network settings, scan again for a connection to another wireless network, or to manually configure the network parameters. This is useful if you move your Evo 75/

Evo 150 to a new location for instance. By default the Evo 75/Evo 150 will be set for Automatic wired/wireless detection and automatic IP addressing (DHCP) which will work without setup in most circumstances (for Wi-Fi you will need to enter your WEP/

WPA key if you have one). In Auto mode the Evo 75/Evo 150 will look for a wired connection first and then scan for wireless connections if it doesnt find one. It will also try to obtain an IP address automatically from your router/DHCP server. If you wish to make changes to your setup the Evo 75/Evo 150 display the following submenus. Set-up Wi-Fi Enter network name Current Config Edit Config Wi-Fi Strength (only available if connected wirelessly) Wi-Fi Region Wired/Wi-Fi SET-UP WI-FI This option scans all available Wi-Fi frequencies for wireless networks and allows you to connect to them. The Evo 75/Evo 150 can support dual Band 2.4/5gHz networks A list of available networks will be presented. If a particular network requires an encryption key, a symbol will be seen at the end of the network name. Select your local network using the Navigation/Select dial and press button for enter. The Evo 75/Evo 150 will then connect to the network using a saved key (if you have previously set one) or present you with an alphanumeric entry menu. Here you can enter the network key you set up when setting up your wireless network. Select each character in turn using the Select dial and then press navigate to the make a mistake, press or symbol and press Select dial to enter that key. If you to go back one character. The Evo 75/Evo 150 can handle keys in WEP, WPA and WPA2 formats

(the choice of format is made by appropriate settings on your router) and automatically generates the right format from your text according to the router request. ENTER THE NETWORK NAME This option allows the Evo 75/Evo 150 to search for and connect to a particular network name only. Type your network name in using the alphanumeric entry screen. If no matching network is found 'Network not found' will be displayed. CURRENT CONFIG This menu firstly displays the IP mode (static or dynamic). This will be Auto/DHCP (i.e. dynamic, this is the default) or alternatively Static IP. For either mode by turning the Navigation/Select dial the Evo 75/Evo 150 will scroll through the various current IP parameters, for instance the ESSID of the current wireless network, Wired and Wireless MAC addresses, current IP address, (Sub)Netmask, Gateway address etc. EDIT CONFIG This menu allows the selection of IP mode between static or dynamic

(Auto/DHCP). Auto/DHCP is recommended for most people in most circumstances. Static IP requires quite a bit of knowledge about IP networks, and is for advanced users only. The default setting is thus Auto/DHCP, here the Evo 75/Evo 150 obtains its IP address each time you switch in on by a process called DHCP which means it is different each time it is acquired. This process is completely automatic and much simpler than implementing Static IP. However sometimes it is useful (especially in large networks) to know the exact IP address of each device, this can only be done by using static IP. When using Static IP you will also need to enter the network mask you wish to use and the addresses of your gateway and DNS service, note there is no way for Cambridge Audio to know what these are in your network. Only select static IP if you know exactly what you are doing!

To set static IP, select the 'Settings > Network > Edit Config' menu. The Evo 75/Evo 150 will now display 'Auto (DHCP)? YES/NO'. Turn the Evo 75/Evo 150s rotary dial to select 'NO' and then press SELECT. You will now be able to enter the fixed IP address you wish to give your Evo 75/Evo 150 by using the rotary dial to select the desired numbers followed by pressing Navigation/Select dial to end inputting the address. The Evo 75/Evo 150 will now prompt you to enter the required network mask for the network. You will be able to enter this in the same way as before for entering the IP address. You will now need to enter the default gateways IP address used by the Evo 75/Evo 150 on the network. Finally, you will need to enter the DNS IP address for the Evo 75/Evo 150. On some networks, you may need to enter your ISPs DNS IP address, which should be available on your ISPs support page on their website. After entering the above information, the Evo 75/Evo 150 will now try to connect to your network. If you wish to use DHCP again simply select

'Settings > Network > Edit Config' and then set the 'Auto (DHCP)? YES/NO'

to 'YES'. WI-FI STRENGTH Displays the strength of the received Wi-Fi Signal. Note: If Wi-Fi has been turned off (Ethernet mode only) the signal strength will show as 0%. WI-FI REGION Different parts of the world use slightly different frequencies for Wi-Fi. For best performance you should set the Evo 75/Evo 150 to the region you live in, the current options are US, Spain, Europe (i.e. other than Spain), Japan. WIRED/WI-FI CONNECTION It is possible to connect your Evo 75/Evo 150 to your network via an available Ethernet connection (RJ45) or via a Wi-Fi router. By default the unit is in AUTO mode, each time you turn the unit it looks for the presence of a wired connection, and tries to use this, if none is present or it cannot connect it then tries to use the wireless connection and so on. In Auto mode once the Evo 75/Evo 150 has established a certain type of connection to the network, then this type of connection will remain in use while the Evo 75/Evo 150 is on. You can alternatively configure the Evo 75/Evo 150 to permanently only use the wired or wireless connection from the Evo 75/Evo 150s 'Network'

menu, select 'Wired/Wireless'. This menu will present you with three options: 'Auto', 'Wired Only' and 'Wireless Only'. Selecting 'Wired Only' will cause the Evo 75/Evo 150 to reboot and then only use its Ethernet connection to communicate with the network. Selecting the 'Wireless Only' will cause the Evo 75/Evo 150 to reboot and only use its Wi-Fi connection. Selecting the 'Auto' option means the Evo 75/Evo 150 will try both and settle on the one it can make work as described above. 14 FIRMWARE This menu item displays some hardware/software version numbers for your Evo 75/Evo 150. Turn the rotary dial to scroll through the various items. BLUETOOTH AUDIO OUTPUT Scan for devices. Selecting this allows the Evo 75/Evo 150 to output wireless Bluetooth audio to most bluetooth receive devices. The Service Pack is the currently loaded firmware software.

Note: Your device can only be paired and connected to the Evo 75/Evo 150 while the Bluetooth output is selected. Power STANDBY MODE Network Standby ECO Mode Standby mode options enable Evo 75/Evo 150 with both Network Standby and ECO Mode. The default setting is ECO mode. Network Standby on Network Standby mode, when enabled, allows Evo 75/Evo 150 to enter a lower power suspended state using the Standby/On button. The display is turned off and many of the internal processes and circuits are disabled to reduce power consumption. However the difference between Network Standby and ECO mode is that in Network Standby mode, power remains connected to the main controller, Ethernet and Wi-Fi sections. In Network Standby mode, networking functionality remains alive in the background. This means that Evo 75/Evo 150 can be quickly woken up out of the suspended state into an operational state using not only the front panel, the infra-red remote and the control bus, but also the iOS app running on the iPhone or iPad. This is not possible when the unit is in full Standby ECO mode. To enable Network Standby mode using the Standby/On button, it must first be activated within the setup menus. Go to "Settings -> STANDBY MODE -> Network Standby" and set to "On". Short presses of the Standby/On button then toggle between On and Network Standby mode modes. Note: after putting the unit into Network Standby mode, you will not be able to wake the unit into full On mode until 5 seconds have d. Full low power (ECO MODE) standby can still be activated by keeping the Standby/On button pressed for more than two seconds. A subsequent press of Standby/On turns the unit fully on, but remember that this cant be done over the network (i.e. from the iOS app) and that it takes longer to reach the full operational state. AUTOMATIC POWER DOWN The Evo 75/Evo 150 will switch itself off after 15 minutes if it is not playing anything and there has been no user interaction with it during this time. As a default this is set to 15 minutes, but you can increase or decrease this time, or turn this feature off altogether if desired. The Auto Power Down setting can be found in Settings > Automatic Power-

down. There, using the rotary dial you can adjust APD from OFF to 2hr, in 5 minute increments. press button to accept the new APD setting.

General Help guidelines:

If you have trouble connecting the Evo 75/Evo 150 to your network, these steps may help to resolve the problem:

Confirm that a connected computer can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the Evo 75/Evo 150. You can configure a static IP address on the Evo 75/Evo 150 using the menu item Settings -> Network Config ->

Edit Config, and then select No for Auto (DHCP). DHCP is however the recommended method. Check that your networks firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 5 54, 1755, 5000, 6000 and 7070. Check your access point does not restrict connections to a particular MAC addresses. You can view the radios MAC address using the menu item Settings -> Network Config -> View Config -> MAC address. If you have an encrypted Wi-Fi network, check that you have entered the correct key or passphrase into the Evo 75/Evo 150. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, your Evo 75/Evo 150 displays: Wireless error followed by a 5-digit number, then please ensure that you enter the correct passphrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration. If your Evo 75/Evo 150 can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular Stream Magic stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:

The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone). The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners. The station is not broadcasting anymore. The link in our database is simply out of date. The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is slow. Try using a computer to play back the stream via the broadcasters web site. If you have problems with UPnP playback always check the following:

Ensure your chosen UPnP server software is capable of serving the file type you are trying to access. Some servers do not serve FLAC for instance. The Evo 75/Evo 150 can only play non DRM files. Files that have DRM controls cannot be played by the Evo 75/Evo 150. Some servers may be able to authorise and de-crypt Microsoft Playsforsure before then serving the content to the Evo 75/Evo 150 but this operation is not guaranteed as it is purely a function of the server. If attempting to play 24-bit WAV or FLAC content note a wired Ethernet connection is normally required for reliable operation due to bandwidth considerations. Check the Evo 75/Evo 150 are capable of playing back the file type you are trying to access. WMA, AAC, MP3, Vorbis, FLAC and WAV can currently be played. The Evo 75/Evo 150 does not support ALAC, WMA Pro, WMA lossless, RAW, AU or other file types not mentioned. If you have problems with USB Media playback always check the following:

Check the Evo 75/Evo 150 are capable of playing back the file type you are trying to access. WMA, AAC, MP3, Vorbis, FLAC and WAV can currently be played. The Evo 75/Evo 150 does not support ALAC, WMA Pro, WMA lossless, RAW, AU or other file types not mentioned. For USB Media the Evo 75/Evo 150 can only play non DRM files. Files that have DRM controls cannot be played. Check that your device does not require more than 1A if it is powered from the USB socket itself. Check your device is formatted in FAT32/NTFS format. The way you organise your USB media affects the size of internal database the Evo 75/Evo 150 needs to build dynamically as you browse content. Good practice is to create folders for Artists within which you should have a sub folders for each Album which then containing the tracks for that Album. Libraries with thousands of tracks in one folder will progressively slow down the Evo 75/Evo 150s media browsing.
