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.
