If you want to add streaming music to your Rotel internet radio system there are several different ways you can do so.

To add Pandora, once you have registered your radio and signed up an account on www.rotelradio.com, you can link your Pandora account under the 'See extra features' section of the website. Once it has been linked, it will be available under the 'My Stuff' section of the Rotel device. Note that Pandora is only available in the continental USA.

To add other services such as Tidal or Spotify, below are some options.

• Connect an iPhone/iPod or iPad that has the Tidal or Spotify app to the front USB input.
• Install the Bluetooth USB dongle into the front USB input and stream music from your mobile device to the Rotel system via Bluetooth.
• Add a streaming player such as Sonos, AppleTV or Roku to the system to stream via an optical or coax digital connection (be sure to check which services are supported first, as not all services are available on every player).
• Alternatively, other sources such as some smart TVs or Blu-Ray players for example also support streaming services so these may also be used to stream music to your Rotel system.

You must have the "Premium CD quality internet radio" upgrade on a Sirius account for it to work with the RDG-1520 or RCX-1500.

This guide is intended for users who cannot connect their Internet Radio to Sirius. The common error is the radio will display "change password or username" after the user types in their Sirius user name and password in the Internet radio. Please use the following as a guide to assist in trouble shooting your connection to the Sirius premium internet radio service:

1. Verify your Internet radio is connected to your broadband internet network.
2. Verify that you can listen to other internet radio stations i.e. Non Sirius radio stations.
   If you cannot listen to other radio stations or you cannot connect to your broadband internet network then you will need to first resolve those issues BEFORE trouble shooting your Sirius connection.
3. Verify that you currently have Sirius "Premium" internet radio service. The Internet radio will not connect to the standard Sirius Internet radio service. You must upgrade to "Premium" Internet radio service (also known as CD-quality internet radio Sirius package) before attempting to enter in your Sirius user name and number in your radio.
   To Verify you have Sirius "Premium" Internet radio service you can call Sirius or log on to the Sirius media player on your computer and verify that you have both standard and premium internet radio service. You can check by going to this link: https://www.siriusxm.com/player/.
   When the media player launches there will be two icons: a standard icon and a premium icon. If you are able to toggle back and forth between the standard and premium icons on the Sirius media player on your computer and play music on your computer when the Premium icon is chosen then you have premium CD quality service. If the media player does not play music when you press the premium icon you will need to upgrade to the service which is $2.99 per month (as of July 2009 - price is subject to change). You can update your Sirius package at https://www.siriusxm.com/addSIR.
   The package is "Upgrade to CD quality sound". Simply press the "Upgrade now" button.
4. Verify that your Sirius User name or Password is typed in correctly. Please ensure you do not have a blank (an empty space) in the front of your user name or password. Your Sirius password is UPPER and lower case sensitive. When you enter your Sirius user name and password on the radio please note that the 1st set of letters displayed on the radio are all UPPER case letters. Please scroll to the right until you see the 2nd set of letters on the display. These letters will be lower case. Choose the lower case letters when required (Your Sirius user name and password may have a mixture of lower and UPPER case so you will have to scroll between the two different sets of letters on the radio).
   After you enter in your user name then choose "end" which is to the left of the list of the upper case letters, or press the "Reply" key on the remote or front panel. Then enter in your password and choose "end" or hit "Reply" again. You should now see the Sirius station line up.

Note: Sirius Premium Internet radio service is not available outside the continental US.
