Note: If you’ve installed SqueezeCenter and confirmed it is running, 
but your computer name doesn’t appear on the Controller’s screen, 
you may have a firewall that’s preventing it from being found.  See 
“Appendix A: Configuring Your Firewall” in this User Guide for details 
on configuring your computer’s firewall.

Once the Receiver is connected to the music source, the button will

appear as a low white and you are ready to play music!  In some 
cases, the button will blink bright white; this means the software on 
the Receiver is being updated.  Please be patient as these updates 
may take a few minutes to complete. Once the upgrade is finished, 
the Receiver will restart, cycling through the button colors until it 
appears low white and the player is ready.

Note: Updates are provided automatically by SqueezeCenter or 
SqueezeNetwork, ensuring your Squeezebox Duet always has the 
latest software.

Your network music system is set up and ready to go!  Please go to “Play The 
Music” section in this User Guide to get started using your Squeezebox Duet.
