Introduction Congratulations that you already have or that you are thinking about giving your Internet Radio and TV player a second life. With the ListenLive firmware you have access to TV channels, Radio stations, Podcasts and Vodcasts from all over the world via an internet connection. This firmware is a replacement of the firmware that is originally installed on your device. The original firmware lacks many features and has various bugs. It also connects to a server in China that is not always up-to-date and there is no way to influence the contents of this server. Most importantly you should also know about the killer bug aka time bomb. This time bomb appears to randomly create bad blocks in the flash memory. Bad blocks on free space are not causing problems, but since these blocks are randomly created it is possible that a critical block is damaged and that the device does not start up anymore. Besides this troubling fact, this firmware was created because the manufacturer did not want to fix the bugs and improve the firmware on our devices. They rather sell new devices than keep people who already bought the hardware happy. This firmware makes use of the ListenLive database that is available at http://www.listenlive.nl To get the most out of your device and this firmware you should register an account on the ListenLive server. The ListenLive server, database, firmware development project and anything related to it is not linked to any commercial party! This means that it is a private project. There is no large company behind it. Everything is paid by the people involved. To maximize your enjoyment of the ListenLive firmware, please read this manual carefully – it contains important information on how to use your device effectively. Please keep this manual for future reference. 2 About 2.1 Product Description For the description of your device you should read the manual that came with your device. Below is a description of additional features that are not covered by the original manual since these options are only available in the ListenLive firmware. The ListenLive firmware allows you to stream and enjoy over 3,000 internet TV channels and 30,000 radio stations. The device operates by connecting to your Wi-Fi Internet connection at home, the office, or any Wi-Fi hotspot. As long as you have access to the internet, you are ready to enjoy limitless access to a world of media. Keeping the content up-to-date is a community effort which you can take part in.

Version 1.0 © 2012 - William Jansen ListenLive Firmware Instruction Manual http://www.listenlive.nl 3.2 Understanding the Controls on the Remote Control There are a number of different remote control models. After a fresh installation, the ListenLive firmware will start in compatibility mode. This means that only the most important buttons are functional. Section 4.3 explains how to let the firmware detect your remote control model. As you can see, the standard remote control has less buttons than the extended model. Therefore some functions are not available on the standard remote. Standard Remote Control Extended Remote Control POWER Turn device on/off (long press = forced power down) MUTE Turn volume on/off HOME Return to the main menu UP/DOWN Navigation & Vol+ and LEFT/RIGHT Navigation & Track+ and OK Confirm selection & Play all files in directory RETURN/EXIT Leave screen / stop playing STOP Stop playing PGUP Screen brightness + PGDN Screen brightness PAUSE/PLAY Pause from playing & play single track VOL+/VOLVolume + and INT.RADIO Go to Internet Radio app INT.TV Go to Internet TV app TV OUT reserved for future use REPEAT FM: re-tune Mediaplayer: repeat mode FAV Assign selection to favorites In mediaplayer: change sort order Smenu/Submenu Switch to next application (use exit to return to previous task) EQ/RED button While in Radio mode: record stream to SD card CLOCK 1 x Go to clock 2 x Go to night stand clock GREEN button Go to FM radio app YELLOW button Reserved for future use BLUE button Reserved for future use >> Jump 15 seconds + (when playing audio files) << Jump 15 seconds - (when playing audio files) It is possible to use other remote controls like a Logitech Harmony. In this case the Logitech Harmony has to be programmed as a Centrios KW 1315117. Once done, navigate with the device buttons to the settings screen, [remote control settings] and select [Remote Control model] the screen then waits for you to press the [Mute] button. Once you press mute it should detect the Penbex or Harmony remote and map the buttons correctly. (See 4.2.2) Version 1.0 © 2012 - William Jansen ListenLive Firmware Instruction Manual http://www.listenlive.nl First time use 4 4.1 Start Menu After plugging in your device, press the POWER button on the unit to turn it on. After the logo page which is shown when the operating system loads, you will be brought to the main menu as seen below. Use the directional buttons to select the various applications. Press OK/ENTER to go to the application you want. 4.2 Setting up the device the first time In order to make optimal use of the ListenLive firmware, you should follow the following steps. 4.2.1 Connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi Note: You will need access to a functioning wireless network in order to use this feature. First make sure that the WIFI device is enabled on the device. Select Settings > Network Settings and check if active network is set to WIFI. (Throughout this document the ‘>’ indicates options leading to further menus.) If not select the line with Active network device and press OK/ENTER. to activate the WIFI adapter. I n case you want to use the device on battery power and you do not need WIFI access, you can disable the WIFI adapter to save battery power. Version 1.0 © 2012 - William Jansen ListenLive Firmware Instruction Manual http://www.listenlive.nl When you are sure that the WIFI adapter is activated, Select Settings > Network Settings > Wi-Fi Setup > Auto Search. The Auto Search system will automatically search all available Wi-Fi networks within range. Once the available networks are found, these will be listed. Two types of network: Encrypted network: Show a “lock” icon and a password is required for access to the network. Unencrypted network: There’s no “lock” icon and a password is not required for access to the network. Use the directional buttons on your remote control or unit to select a network and press OK/ENTER to connect. The device will automatically connect if an unencrypted network is selected. If an encrypted network is selected, you will be prompted to enter the password (assigned by the administrator of the network). Use the directional buttons, and OK/ENTER on the remote control or the unit to enter the password and select OK on the on screen keyboard to connect. If the system is successfully connected to the selected network, a notification will show “Wi-Fi Connected Successfully”; otherwise “Wi-Fi Password Invalid” will appear. Please ensure you selected the correct network, and have the correct password, and try again. If a “Wi-Fi Not Connected” notification appears, please try to connect again. If you are sure everything was entered correctly but you still get the “not connected” notification, power down the device and restart. Sometimes this helps to clear all settings and make a proper connection. Note: This firmware supports 2 protocols: Static IP, DHCP. DHCP is the default protocol to be used by the system automatically. Please verify your network settings and confirm which protocol is being used – you will need to manually connect your unit to the network if Static IP is in use.

Note: you are welcome to report mistakes in the language files on the Listenlive forum. Contact the administrator when you want to add a language that is not supported yet. 4.2.5 Taskbar Throughout the menus and during music playing there is a taskbar that shows various status icons.
