???A wireless network adapter or a wireless base station is required when integrating your SLA5500 in a wireless computer network.

???Please install and connect the product in the order described in this manual only. This assures best installation results with the least technical hassles.

???Please read this guide carefully before using your SLA5500 and keep it for future reference.

???The most recent downloads and information on this product will be available through our website www.philips.com/support

???Please check whether your Internet service provider charges extra fees for exceeding a certain limit of transferred data. When using Internet media services on a daily basis, you may exceed such a limit.

???During set-up and installation, it may be helpful to have the instructions for your audio system, wireless base station or other wireless network components at hand.

Safety Precautions

???NEVER MAKE OR CHANGE CONNECTIONS WITH THE POWER OF YOUR

AUDIO SYSTEM SWITCHED ON OR YOUR SLA5500 CONNECTED TO THE

MAINS.

???Before operating the SLA5500, check that the operating voltage indicated on the nameplate of your SLA5500 is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer.

???Radio equipment for wireless applications is not protected against disturbance from other radio services.

???The SLA5500 should not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

No object filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.

???Do not expose the SLA5500 to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

???Allow a sufficient amount of free space all around your SLA5500 for adequate ventilation.

???Do not open this product. Contact your Philips retailer if you experience technical difficulties.

???Place the SLA5500 on a flat, hard and stable surface.

When the SLA5500 is switched to standby mode, it is still consuming some power.

To disconnect the SLA5500 from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

???Make sure the air around your SLA5500 can circulate to prevent your SLA5500 from overheating internally. Also, avoid putting any heat sources (e.g. a power amplifier) underneath.

???To prevent your SLA5500 from overheating internally, never place anything on top of it.

Key Features

???Browse music file content on your computer

???Browse and search content by Song, All Tracks, Albums, Artist, Genres or Playlists

???Set up SLA5500 on your network simply by using the remote control

???Manage profiles and upgrade software using the Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility

???View device status information using the built-in Web-based presentation page

???Listen to music files (for example WMA, MP3, WAV) over your audio system

The instructions in this User Manual assume that you already have a wireless network up and running. The installation of your wireless network is device-dependent and thus outside the scope of this document. Please refer to your wireless network device

documentation for more details.

To be fully functional your SLA5500 requires the installation of:

???the Philips Media Manager software on your PC

Philips Media Manager allows you to create a library of music files on your PC. Music files include MP3 and WMA formats. It also provides a UPnP Media Server which enables your SLA5500 to browse these files on the PC.

???the Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility on your PC

This software allows you to configure your Wireless Music Receiver network profiles.

Normally, you will only need to use this utility if:

???you want to configure a network profile from a PC instead of from the SLA5500 itself, or

???you want to upload new software for your Wireless Music Receiver

Installing Philips Media Manager

Place the Philips Media Manager CD in your CD or DVD drive and install the Philips Media Manager software.

The CD starts automatically. If it does not, double-click ???My Computer???, then the CD-ROM drive icon and finally ???Setup.exe??? to start the CD.

In the menu that appears on your computer screen, click ???Install Philips Media Manager???, and follow the on-screen instructions.

When opening the Philips Media Manager for the first time, you will be asked if you want to add a folder and scan for audio files. Open a drive or a folder with audio files in it. (For example: the My Documents folder, if you have stored audio files there.)

??? You can always add more files and folders later.

12

EN

Adding files to the Media Manager

Editing a Network Profile

The Factory Defaults profile for a SLA5500 cannot be edited. However, there are other profiles available that can be edited to effectively create new profiles. To change these settings, you will need to have some knowledge of your wireless network setup.

Note: The alternative profiles can be edited at any time, but any existing information in the selected profile will be overwritten once the profile has been edited and saved.

1Display the profile to be edited (see ???Viewing Existing Network Profiles???).

2Give your profile a unique Profile Name.

3Enter the Service Set ID (SSID) for your wireless LAN.

4By default, the profile will use the Infrastructure network type (i.e. an Internet base station is available on the network). If however you select the Allow ad-hoc connection checkbox, it means that your PC will use a direct peer-to-peer connection to the SLA5500.

???If you are using WEP encryption on the wireless network, click the WEP enabled checkbox and enter the appropriate WEP key and the Key index.

???If you are using a proxy server, check the Use proxy server checkbox.

Enter the Proxy server as an IP address (example 192.167.0.10) or as a name (example my.proxy). The Proxy port number must be a numeric value (usually, this is port 80 or 8080).

5If the SLA5500 will get a dynamic IP address automatically from a DHCP server, select the Use DHCP checkbox.

6If the SLA5500 needs a fixed IP address, leave the Use DHCP checkbox unchecked and enter the IP Address for the SLA5500, as well as the Netmask (Subnet mask), and IP addresses for the Gateway, DNS Server Preferred and DNS Server Alternate.

7Click the ???Apply??? button to confirm the changes, or click the ???Refresh??? button to discard the changes.

8If you want to make this profile the active profile for the SLA5500, click the ???Make Active??? button. Click the ???Close??? button to return to the main window.

9Click the ???Discover...??? button to verify that the SLA5500 can still be found on the network after you make these changes.

Note: This task can also be done directly on the SLA5500 using the remote control.

Verifying that a Wireless Music Link is Available on the

Network

When you start the Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility, it performs an automatic discovery process to verify which Wireless Music Links are available on the network. It is recommended that you perform this discovery process manually after editing any network profiles, to ensure that your computer can still communicate with the SLA5500.

To verify that a SLA5500 is available on the network:

1From the main Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility window, click the ???Discover...??? button.

A list of available Wireless Music Links will be displayed in the main window.

Uploading New Software to the SLA5500

Check www.philips.com/support for new software versions. When new software becomes available, the Software Upload Wizard in the Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility will help you to install it on your SLA5500.

WARNING: The Software Upload Wizard should be used with great care. Uploading incorrect software may result in the SLA5500 no longer working as expected.

1Start the Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility (see ???Starting the Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility???).

2From the main Philips Wireless Music Receiver PC Utility window, highlight the SLA5500 to be upgraded and click the ???Upload Software...??? button.

3The wizard displays details of the currently installed software for the SLA5500 and a warning notice. Click the 1 button to cancel the upload or the ???Next??? button to proceed.

4Select a valid software file (.bcd file) and click the ???Open??? button. If the file selected is invalid, an error will be displayed.

5The wizard displays a warning and asks for confirmation. Click the 1 button to cancel the upload or the ???Next??? button to proceed.

Note: This process may take a while and should not be interrupted. The current software is erased and the new software is uploaded to the SLA5500.

A message is displayed when the upload has been completed successfully. If an error message appears, or if you see the words ???Download mode??? in the Active Profile column instead, it means that the software upload has failed. Turn the power to the SLA5500 off and on again before starting a new upload attempt.
