Set time display

Select Set 12/24 hour and then choose your display preference.

Auto-update

Auto-update works with data sent over DAB, FM, or the internet. The clock is only updated when in a corresponding mode, so it is best to select a mode you use regularly.Update from DAB and FM use time signals broadcast with radio transmissions. Update from Network uses a time signal sent from theinternet radio portal when connected to the internet.

Select Update from DAB | Update from FM | Update from Network | No update.

Tenor will auto-update from the selected source when time information is available.If your country uses daylight saving, the automatically updated time from the network may be wrong by one hour. You can turn on the Daylight savings option to rectify this. If you are updating the time from DAB or FM, the Daylight savings option has no effect on the clock’s time.

Set time manually

If you choose No update, the wizard prompts you to set the time and date manually. Tenor displays the date and time as dd-mm-yyyy andhh: mm AM/PM with the first value actively flashing.Adjust each value with the NAVIGATION dial and SELECT button.As you set each value, the next value becomes active and flashes.

Connect to a Wi-Fi network

Tenor is compatible with all common network protocols and encryption methods, including Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). To connect Tenor to your network, you need a Wi-Fi wireless router, together with a password key if required.

As you select each character, the key builds up near the top of the display.The three options – Backspace, OK, and Cancel — are included in the election cycle. These options can be accessed by using theNAVIGATION dial or by pressing the Info key, which moves the selection highlight to the Backspace option.

WPS setup

WPS encrypted networks are identified by ‘[WPS]’ at the start of the network name and have two methods of connection. Select one ofthe options and follow the prompts.Push Button >Tenor prompts you to press the connect button on your router.Press the NAVIGATION dial to continue.Pin > (code number)Tenor generates an 8-digit code number that you enter into the wireless router.Skip WPS >Enter the key as for a standard encrypted network.

Listen to music stored on your computer or network

Music player mode plays audio files such as MP3s, AACs, WMAs or FLACs from a computer on your local network.

In order for Tenor to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or media.UPnP media-sharing allows devices like Tenor to play music from a shared media library and navigate 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. Only the UPnP server needs to be set up.

NOTE: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-ons available to work with an iTunes library.

Setting up a music server and sharing media

The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later).Alternatively, other UPnP platforms and servers may be used.

Set up Windows Media Player (WMP) for media sharing

  1. Ensure that the PC is connected to your Wi-Fi or Ethernet network.
  2.  Ensure that Tenor is powered on and connected to the same network.
  3. In WMP, add the audio files and folders you want to share with Tenor to the media library (Library > Add to Library).
  4. In WMP, enable media sharing (Library > Media sharing).
  5. Make sure that the radio has access to the shared media by selecting it and clicking Allow.
  6. You can also set a name for the shared media in Settings.
  7. Click OK to close the dialogue boxes.

NOTE: Setup can differ depending on which version of WMP you have.In the media sharing dialogue box, Tenor may show up as ‘unknown device’, ‘Frontier Silicon’, or the Jupiter logo.The PC is now ready to stream the music to the radio. The WMP UPnP service runs in the background; there is no need to start WMPexplicitly.

Playing your shared files

  1. Enter Music Player mode by pressing the SOURCE button and use the NAVIGATION DIAL to choose Music Player
  2. Once in Music Player mode, select > Shared media.
  3. You should see an entry consisting of <computer name>: <Shared media name>. If you have more than one computer sharing media, the alternatives are listed. Select the shared media you want to play.
  4. From this point, Tenor generates the menus from the shared media server (i.e. Windows Media Player on your computer). You can use << and >> to move through tracks. Press and hold to rewind or fast forward and press quickly to select the previous or next track.
  5. If you are already playing a music file, you can press BACK to quickly return to the last visited branch of the menu.

Shared media menus

The first menu shows a list of media types: for example, Music, Video, Pictures, and Playlists. Tenor can only play music and playlists. There is also a search function that finds tracks in a similar way to the internet radio search.You can select tracks by genre, artist, album, composer, or rating. Once you have found a track you want to play, press select. A short press plays the track immediately and a long press adds the track to the playlist. You can also add entire albums to the playlist.

Now playing information

While a track is playing, the screen shows its track and artist (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 the INFO button another set of information is displayed, cycling through UPnP, playback progress bar (default), album, codec/sampling rate, playback, buffer bar, and today’s date.– You can repeat tracks or play them in random order by selectingMusic Player > Menu > Repeat play orMusic Player > Menu > Shuffle play.

Playlists

Tenor holds a queue of up to 200 tracks in the playlist. Playlist tracks can be mixed from multiple UPnP servers.– To manage the playlist, select Menu > My playlist.– To view the playlist, scroll through it by turning the NAVIGATION dial. UPnP tracks show their track name.– To play the playlist from a curtain track, quickly SELECT the track.– To erase a track from the playlist, long SELECT the track, then confirm YES.If you select a track, album, or folder for instant playback (without using the playlist), the playlist is preserved. The playlist is also preserved during standby.

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. In some instances, this may not be possible as the server may not be connected to the network anymore or may be switched off.

Prune servers 

From time to time, it may be necessary to remove servers displaying question marks in front of the server name from the server list: for example, if the device is moved to a new network or if a Wake-on-LAN server is removed from your current network.– To perform this function, go to Menu > Prune servers > Yes

From time to time, Tenor may make software upgrades available with bug fixes or additional features.

CAUTION: before starting a software upgrade, please ensure that Tenor is plugged into a stable mains power connection. Disconnecting power during a software update may permanently damage the unit.To turn automatic checking on or off, select Menu > System settings > Software update > Auto-check setting.
