After you connect your NetWorks+ to your network, please explore each preset and enjoy listening as you read through this owner’s manual.In order to take full advantage of what your new radio is capable of, please take a moment to read this owner’s manual and the safety instructions. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer or distributor.Please save the carton and original packing should you ever need to ship your radio, as shipping damage is not covered by the factory warranty.On behalf of all of us, thank you for choosing Tivoli Audio and enjoy your new NetWorks+ radio.About Tivoli AudioTivoli Audio was founded by Tom DeVesto with the mission of bringing simple to use, elegantly designed, high quality audio products to consumers. As CEO and head of research and develop-ment at his former company, Cambridge SoundWorks, Tom was responsible for the development of many of the best selling home entertainment and multi-media products on the market. He also held senior management positions in product development at both Advent and Kloss Video.*Cambridge SoundWorks is a registered trademark of Creative Labs, Singapore. Packed with your NetWorks+ you should find one each:• 2.74 meter (9') power cord• Remote control (battery installed)• 0.46 meter (1.5') USB cableBefore you use your NetWorks+, you’ll need:• A broadband Internet connection.• A wireless (WiFi) network connected to your broadband Internet, preferably via a router;• Or an Ethernet cable (not included) for the Ethernet connection if WiFi is unavailableGetting Started:Be sure your wireless network is powered on and connected to your broadband Internet.Connect the included power cord to the power input on the bottom of NetWorks+ and plug the other end of the cord into a wall outlet.Press the power button on the remote control or the center of the top control wheel to turn the NetWorks+ on.Select the WLAN country region nearest you even if WiFi won’t be used.1.2.3.4.
6The NetWorks+ will automatically scan for all networks. After the scan is finished the display will show all of the ESSIDs (names) of the wireless networks found in addition to offering options to rescan, select a wired connection (Ethernet)*, or set up the wireless configuration manually. Use the Up and Down buttons on the remote control to highlight the network you want and then press Select. The display will show “Connecting”. After connecting you may begin using your NetWorks+.If you are prompted to enter a password, your network uses a security encryption system. You must enter the correct code to allow NetWorks+ to communicate with your network. The codes are case sensitive so be sure to enter the code exactly as it is configured in your wireless network. Use the pq buttons to change character pages. Use the tu buttons to highlight characters and the Select button to enter the character. After you’ve selected all the characters for your password, press the ‘ ’ character to enter your password. the ‘<’ symbol = back space if you make an error the ‘ ’ symbol = enter completed password the ‘C’ symbol = cancel process and return to previous menu When selecting a blank space it will be represented by a blank space followed by an underscore indicating the position of the next character.NetWorks+ will now connect to your network. If the NetWorks+ fails to connect with the first attempt and you are sure you entered your password correctly, press the enter symbol to repeat the connection rather than re-enter your password all over again.If your network uses an encryption system, Tivoli Audio strongly advises against turning it off. You should maintain proper security of your network. If several networks are available, you should connect only to the network you have an agreement to use.If you experience difficulty connecting to your network, consult our website (http://networks.tivoliaudio.com) or contact your dealer/distributor for further assistance.Should you ever need to manually initiate a network scan you can do so by entering the “IR Setup” menu and selecting “Scan networks”. The “IR Setup” menu will also allow you to view and edit current settings. Wired/Wireless connection: When changing from wireless to wired, after connecting the Ethernet cable to the input on the bottom of your NetWorks radio, enter the “IR Setup” in the menu, access the “Manual Settings” option and select Wired. The wireless connection is now disabled and no signal strength will be shown on the display. When changing from wired to wireless, rather then select “wireless”, select Scan for networks” in the “IR Setup” menu and pick up from Step #5 under “Getting Started”.

In your email you should include all information necessary to identify the station (station name, location, URL, etc). It’s also possible to add radio stations and view other information via Tivoli Audio’s dedicated site: http://networks.tivoliaudio.com.Unavailable, Please try later: Although this message is usually a result of a station’s URL not responding, exceeding the maximum number of listeners, or a slow connection between the server and the NetWorks+ radio, there might be other reasons. Some stations don’t broadcast 24 hours a day or 7 days a week, and some are not always on-line. Some stations will also change their audio formats (codecs) and/or streaming protocols, which can result in the stations no longer showing in the Stations list even though their websites can still be accessed on a computer. Still other stations might change their links. If you have a computer, try acquiring the Internet station using your PC to see if the results are the same. If you suspect the station is no longer broadcasting or its link is outdated, send Tivoli Audio an email (in English) so we can upgrade the station data: addstation@tivoliaudio.com, or use the site: http://networks.tivoliaudio.com.This message might also be displayed when streaming a music file from a computer if the file is corrupted.8.1.2.3.4.
12Menu options and specific features: Note: A checkmark symbol ¸ is used to indicate the current setting.SuperBuffer™ (found in the main menuin Internet radio mode only): Located in the main menu in Internet radio mode, this unique feature developed by Tivoli Audio increases the buffer time by four to reduce the frequency of drop-outs. If you experience an Internet radio station that is dropping out frequently, select “on” to engage this feature. The display will show “x4” when SuperBuffer is on. Loading of stations might take slightly longer whenever SuperBuffer is on. Drop-outs can be caused by different conditions.

When using the remote, aim it in this general direction. When replacing the remote’s battery, use a brand name 3V lithium button cell, model number CR2025. Install the battery so the positive side is facing you.Music Player mode Set up:To access music files from your computer connected to the same network as the NetWorks+ and play them through the radio, you must configure the NetWorks+ to one of two methods available: Shared Media (UPnP: Universal Plug and Play) or Shared Folders (CIFS), with the former being the easier of the two methods:Shared Media (UPnP): Media sharing uses Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 and above as media server. WMP 11 can be downloaded from Microsoft’s website (www.microsoft.com). The Share Media mode does not require any setting in the NetWorks+, but your PC needs to be configured to allow the radio access to the media. You will only have to do it once following these three simple steps: 1) Your PC must be connected to the same network (wired or wireless) as the NetWorks+. 2) Ensure the NetWorks+ is on and connected to the same network as your PC. Now browse any directories containing music files. When finished, in the WMP main window, click on “Library”, then “Media sharing”. Next, press the Source button and switch the NetWorks radio to Music Player mode and select “Shared media”. Now select your computer’s name. The NetWorks’ display will show “Unauthorized” and your computer’s display will show an “Unknown Device”. Select the un-known device and click <Allow>. Then click <OK>. Press the Select button on the remote to 2.3.4.1.
15authorize the NetWorks to access your music files. Select “Music” from the NetWorks’ menu and select the rest of the options on the display until your music file starts playing. Operating Shared Media after Set-Up: 1.) Select the Music Player mode under Source in the NetWorks+. 2.) Select Shared Media. The NetWorks+ will scan for all available UPnP servers. If no servers are found the display will show “Empty”. Otherwise; 3.) Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to highlight your server and press Select. 4.) Various media categories will be shown (Music, Playlists, etc). The actual menu structure from this point forward is provided by the media server and might change across systems. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to highlight the file you wish to play and press Select. Note selecting “Video” or “Pictures” (if shown) will result in the display showing “Empty”. As with the USB input, the Music player cannot play back protected music files that use Apple’s proprietary coding. Songs or albums purchased through iTunes use this format.Shared Folders (CIFS): In order to set up the NetWorks+ to playback music stored on shared network drives, user name, password, and domain settings must be configured to work with the PC share settings. This is only required if the user has set a password on his/her shared folders. PC : Setting up a new user account (Windows XP) The NetWorks+ requires a user account to be set up on each PC that you wish to browse. By default most PCs have at least one user account associated with it. The user name and password (optional) needs to be the same on each PC as the NetWorks+ only stores one user name and one password. For windows XP this can be set up as follows: 1) From the start menu, select Control Panel then User accounts. 2) From this screen left click the ‘Add…’, and enter the new user name and the Domain/Work-group setting noted above. Select the type of user (restricted) and then select finish. 3) Select the user just created then select ‘Reset Password…’ and enter a password for this user. 4) Make note of the User Name and Password. Note for Windows VISTA: You have to turn on the Guest account via manage user accounts in the control panel in VISTA, then add access to either ‘Everyone’ or ‘Guest’ on the shared drive. You can create a new account for the NetWorks+ with a password if you are concerned about security. The Guest account has no password by default, so the Net-Works+ will connect to it from its factory default settings. PC : Configuring a shared drive From the Start menu select My Computer and navigate to the directory you wish to share. Right click on the directory and select Sharing and Security. Configure the shared drive as read only, and ensure that the User Name created above has read access to the share NetWorks+ : Storing the username and password Before the NetWorks+ can stream music from your PC, you need to ensure you have a shared folder available on your PC, and set up the NetWorks+ so that it knows the username and password (if one has been set) for the shared folder on your PC. This is accomplished through the “PC Settings” found in the “MP Setup” menu in Music Player mode.2.
16Operating Shared Folders (CIFS) after Set-Up:1.) Ensure your name and password in your PC have been configured.2.) Select the Music Player mode under Source in the NetWorks+ and select Shared Folders.3.) NetWorks+ searches for all available domains and shows all found domains:4.) Once you select a domain, a list of PCs on the domain is displayed5.) Select the PC you wish to access.6.) Once a Domain and PC have been chosen, a list of all of the shared folders in the system is displayed.7.) Select a folder and a file to play within the folder. Pressing Menu invokes the Music player mode menu, which allows returning to the Main menu.As with the USB input, the Music player cannot play back protected music files that use Apple’s proprietary coding. Songs or albums purchased through iTunes use this format.DAB mode:Station List: Shows all available DAB stations. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to highlight a specific station and the Select button to tune that station.Local Scan: Searches only for local DAB stations.Full Scan: Searches the entire DAB frequency range. This scan takes longer to complete than the Local Scan. If you move the NetWorks+ to another location, you must perform a new Full Scan so the radio will find the stations in the new location.Manual Tune: Press the pq buttons to manually tune specific DAB frequencies, then press Select to tune the displayed frequency.DRC: Dynamic Range Control allows you change the sound level of stations to make quiet passages louder to compensate for a noisy environment or when listening at a low volume level. The options are: DRC 0: Off. DRC Low: ½ of transmitted signal. DRC High: As transmitted. Station Order: Allows customizing the DAB station list. Press the pq buttons to cycle through: Alphanumeric, Ensemble (grouped by station frequencies), or Validity (inactive stations placed last). Press Select to set your preference.DAB display messages: “Station off-air”: From time to time, some stations may stop broadcasting to perform upgrades or maintenance. In such instances, the LCD will show “Station off-air” and there will be no audio. Secondary Services: Secondary stations will be indicated by a >> symbol next to the station name. Secondary services may not be available in your area. “?”: If this symbol appears next to the station name, it means the station is invalid or inactive.
17DAB+: This is an expansion of DAB which allows for even more stations. Depending on your location, DAB+ stations might show on your display. However, you will not hear any audio if you try to tune DAB+ stations. Your NetWorks+ can be easily upgraded to decode DAB+ stations. Please visit http://networks.tivoliaudio.com for more information.DAB Reception: The number of DAB stations you will receive depends on your location. Fully extend the antenna in the vertical position. Position the antenna for best reception for each DAB channel and/or move the radio to a location that provides best reception (such as in front of a window). Just as with analog radio, weak digital signals can have a negative affect on sound quality. WARNING: The DAB/FM antenna is not designed to be removed. Removal of this antenna will void your warranty.FM Reception: Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household appliances, electric blankets, computers, CD players, microwave ovens, and other electronic devices can also adversely affect reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the NetWorks+ further from the offending device(s) or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device. FM RDS: The Radio Data System (RDS) transmits text data along with the audio broadcast. Not all FM stations utilize RDS, thus, text may not be present with some stations. For stations using RDS, the text might still not appear or might appear scrambled if the RDS signal is too weak. In such cases, experiment with the position of the NetWorks+ FM antenna. Note RDS content is determined by each individual FM station. If the content shown is inaccurate, that is not the fault of the NetWorks+.
18The Display: The display’s backlight and contrast are controlled automatically via a small sensor in the lower right corner of the front panel. There are no manual adjustments other than turning the display off. This option is found under the “Software Upgrade” menu. If selected, the display will go dark after the NetWorks+ is turned off. The display will return to normal when the NetWorks+ is powered on again, the alarm sounds, or power is interrupted. Note the display can be affected by hot and cold temperatures.Placement: Place the NetWorks+ on a flat, stable surface. The NetWorks’+ driver is shielded and may be used in close proximity to a computer monitor or television set. Do not obstruct the rear bass port. Placement in a bookcase, corner, or against a wall will inflate the bass.Cleaning: Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on the NetWorks+ cabinet or plastic panels, as this could damage the finish. NOTE: Tivoli Audio cabinets use real wood veneers. Since natural wood varies greatly, it is not possible to achieve an exact wood color/grain match between models. You may also notice the wood darken over time with exposure to sunlight. Again, this is normal for real wood.TROUBLESHOOTING:If you are unable to get the NetWorks+ radio to connect to your WiFi network and you have a PC, confirm your PC can connect to your WiFi network to verify it is operational. Check that your network doesn’t restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. View the NetWorks+’ MAC address in the main menu under “Info”, shown as “Radio ID”.Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you configured a static IP address on the NetWorks+. You can configure a static IP address on the NetWorks+ in the main menu under “IR Set Up”.Check that your network’s firewall isn’t blocking any outgoing ports
