BT100 and Blutooth Audio streaming

The NP30 is compatible with the optional BT100 Bluetooth adaptor from
Cambridge Audio. 

When a BT100 is plugged into the rear USB socket, an extra menu item called
BT100 appears in the main menu.

Selecting this allows the NP30 to receive wireless Bluetooth audio from most
phones/tablets and laptops.

Both the standard SBC CODEC and newer high quality AptX CODEC are
supported (if the sending device supports it).

Contact your dealer for details.

in the 'Now Playing' screen.

Pressing stop will stop the Queue playing but not delete it. Putting the NP30
into standby will delete the Queue.

Playlists 

The NP30 also supports various playlist formats. For permanent storage of
favourite media selections it is recommended to use suitable software to
create playlists.

These can then be accessed by the NP30 from USB Media or UPnP servers
that support Playlist serving.

Podcasts

The podcast services in your area will be shown.

These typically allow you to choose different types of podcast by subject, date
or perhaps popularity etc. It is important to understand that the menu structure
here is coming from that service and is controlled by them. It may therefore
change as the service updates its features etc. The NP30 displays the following
submenus.

Podcasts

BBC Podcasts
BlogTalkRadio
Personal Podcasts

Note: The services available vary depending on your geographical location.

There is also a menu item for your own choice of podcasts called Personal
Podcasts. This allows access to podcast links that can input via the
www.stream-magic.com website.

To use Personal Podcasts sign up at www.stream-magic.com and enter the
URLs of podcasts you’d like the NP30 to automatically sync to.

My Podcasts

This feature allows you to access podcast on the NP30 that are not available
in the Podcasts services we support.

This is done by entering the URL for the podcast you want via the Stream Magic
portal. To do this you need to be registered as per the section under Stream
Magic.

Simply login to your account and then click on the 'My Podcasts' link. From
your 'My Podcasts' section, you can add your chosen podcast by entering in the
podcast’s name and its URL as prompted by the website. Please note, the
podcast URL will have to be a direct RSS feed which will end with the '.xml'
extension e.g. http://someurl.com/podcast.xml. Once you have podcasts
available in your 'My Podcasts' list, you may access these feeds from your
NP30. These podcasts will be available from the menu item: 'Podcasts > My
Podcasts'.

Please note, the podcasts are pushed to your NP30 at turn on when the unit
updates stations list and at intervals thereafter.

To cause the radio to download Podcasts and new stations list immediately,
turn on and off your NP30 from the front panel.

Presets

The NP30 supports 20 presets. These can be Internet Radio stations or
streams from most Streaming Services. UPnP/Local media cannot be set as
a preset.. To add a station/stream to a preset first select that stream for
playback in the normal way. Now press the 

button this will bring up the

presets menu.

Select the preset location you require and press and hold in the
Navigation/Select dial to save the current station/stream to that preset.

Recalling presets is done simply by pressing the 

button and selecting the

preset you want with a brief push of the Navigation/Select dial.

Note: The NP30 loads the presets for display from our Stream Magic servers
over the internet, thus they can take a few seconds to appear.
