5. Connection Ethernet Network Connection Power supply - Plug the power cable into a correctly installed power outlet of your home power system. Radio Aerials - In order to receive DAB or FM radio broadcasts it is necessary to connect either the supplied wire aerial to the screw socket marked DAB/FM Antenna or alternatively if you have an external aerial you can connect a cable from the socket to your aerial, sometimes via a wall socket. Either of these methods will work for both DAB and FM signals.
6. Before Getting Started Screens The screen shows various menus, dialogues and displays, as described below. There are basically six types of screen: • Standby • Splash / temporary (e.g. changing modes) • Now playing • Dialogue • Error/Information • Menu When text is too long to fit on the screen, it is first shown truncated, then, after a few seconds, slowly scrolls so that you can read it all. The Standby screen shows the time, date and any active alarm times.
Menus The WLD+ 201 has basically three types of menu. Use the Select control to step through and select options. A scroll bar on the right of the screen shows if there are further options above or below those visible. Each mode has a Mode menu, with options specific to that mode. For example, the FM mode menu has just two options: Scan setting and Audio setting. In addition, each mode menu has two final options: System settings > and Main menu >. The ‘>’ indicates options leading to further menus.

7. Getting Started Although the Sansui WLD+ 201 is sophisticated, getting started is simple. After connecting your system to the speakers, to play DAB or FM radio, all you need is a power source (a 220~240 V mains supply). For Music Player mode, you need either a USB stick containing compatible music files or a wired or wireless Ethernet network and a UPnP music server (e.g. a PC or a network attached storage (NAS) drive containing your music library).
Manual set If you set No update, the wizard now prompts you to set the time and date manually. The date and time are displayed as dd-mm-yyyy and hh:mm AM/PM with the first value, dd, active (flashing). Adjust each value with the Select control. As each value is set, the next value becomes active and flashes. Network The WLD+ 201 is compatible with all common network protocols and encryption methods, including Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Completion The WLD+ 201 attempts to connect to the selected network. If connecting fails, the WLD+ 201 returns to a previous screen to try again. If the network connection is lost, the WLD+ 201 will automatically attempt to reconnect. If network connection is successful the Connected screen will appear. Upon completion of the process the Setup Wizard confirms connection and setup up has been successful Page | 18 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1.0 Rev 0.
Network The WLD+201remembers the last four wireless networks it has connected to, and automatically tries to connect to whichever one of them it can find. You can see the list of registered networks through Menu > System settings > Network > Network profile >. From here you can delete unwanted networks by turning and pressing Select then confirming delete Yes.
Setting up a music server In order for the WLD+201 to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or media. UPnP media sharing allows devices like the WLD+201 to play music from a shared media library, navigating through tag menus such as Artist, Album or Genre. If you are running a suitable server system such as a PC with Windows Media Player 10 or later (WMP), and your music library is well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media sharing.
Setting up the WLD+201 for “Play To” Windows 7 streaming media feature. To set-up the WLD+201 to be controlled and to stream music via Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7 only), perform the following steps: 1. Ensure that the PC is connected to the network. 2. Ensure that the WLD+201 is powered on and connected to the same network. Note: the WLD+201 must be in Internet Radio mode to be detected. 3. From the Windows 7 main screen, select Start > Devices and Printers. 4.
8. Internet radio mode The WLD+201 can play thousands of radio stations and podcasts from around the world though a broadband Internet connection. When you select Internet radio mode, the WLD+201 contacts the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal to get a list of stations, organised into different categories like Country, Most popular and Genre. Once you select a station, the WLD+201 connects directly to that station.
Presets Presets are stored in the radio and cannot be accessed from other radios. To store an Internet radio preset, press and hold the P button on the remote control handset until the display shows the Save to Preset screen. Using the down or up keys on the remote, select one of the 10 presets and press the Enter button on the remote control handset to store the currently playing station. To select a preset, press P button briefly, then select one of the listed preset stations.
Browse To browse Internet broadcasts, select Menu >Station list > then either Stations > or Podcasts >. Browse through the menus to find broadcasts. Note: BBC radio ‘Listen Again’ programs are accessible through the Podcast menu, for example Menu > Podcasts > Location > Europe > United Kingdom > All shows >BBC Radio 4 > You and Yours > 20/10/2011 - October 20. Page | 24 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1.0 Rev 0.
Search You can also search through Internet broadcasts for stations or podcasts with particular keywords in their title. To search, select Menu > Station list > then either Stations > or Podcasts > Enter a keyword by selecting characters then OK. The search entry screens are similar in operation to the Wi-Fi password entry screen. Select a broadcast from the list. For podcasts, you may be able to select a particular episode.
Internet radio portal registration The Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal website allows you to organise the ‘favourites’ lists displayed on your internet radio devices and also listen to internet radio directly from a computer. To register your WLD+ 201 with the portal, switch to Internet radio mode as described in Section 4, and then obtain your radio’s unique portal access code by selecting Menu > Station list > Help >Get access code >. Write down the access code.
9. Music player mode (network and USB) Music Player mode plays a variety of audio file formats such as MP3, AAC (Apple), WMA (Microsoft) as well as the completely lossless formats WAV & FLAC. These can be ‘streamed’ from a computer on the local network, or from a USB Flash stick or a hard drive on the network, known as a NAS drive (Network attached storage). To enter Music Player mode, either press Mode until the display shows Music player, or select Menu > Main menu > Music player.
Wake-on-LAN If shared media is selected, a list of available music servers will be displayed. If a question mark appears before the server name, this indicates that the server has been seen before and supports Wake-on-LAN functionality, but cannot currently be found on the network. If a server with a question mark is selected by the user, the device will try to wake the server up and connect to it.
Playlists The WLD+201 holds a queue of up to 500 tracks in the playlist. Playlist tracks can be mixed from multiple UPnP servers and USB. To manage the playlist, select Menu > My playlist. To view the playlist, scroll though it by turning Select. UPnP tracks show their track name; USB tracks show their file name.
10. Using the “Play To” feature in Windows 7 Windows 7 includes a feature called “Play To” and this lets your PC running Windows 7 control the WLD+201 to push media and use the PC as a universal remote control for your media collection. The WLD+201 supports the industry standard DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5 digital media renderer.
Now playing information While a track is playing, the screen shows its track name (UPnP). There is also a progress bar with figures for elapsed and total track time. At the bottom of the screen, an icon indicates UPnP. To view further information, press Info. Each time you press Info, another set of information is displayed, cycling through the following: Artist, album, codec/sampling rate, playback buffer 11.

Station order You can choose the order of the DAB station list to be either Alphanumeric, Ensemble or Valid. Ensemble lists groups of stations that are broadcast together on the same ensemble, for example BBC or South Wales local.
Audio settings By default, all stereo stations are reproduced in stereo. For weak stations, this may result in a poor signal-tonoise ratio (hiss). To play weak stations in mono, select Menu > Audio setting > FM weak reception: Listen in mono only > Yes. Page | 34 © Sansui UK 2012 WLD+201 IB Ver 1.0 Rev 0.
