About Squeezebox Duet
Thank you for purchasing Logitech’s Squeezebox Duet network music system.
We hope you have as much fun using it as we had building it for you.
The Squeezebox Duet package includes Squeezebox Controller, a multi-room
wireless controller that lets you browse, select and play your personal music
collection, tune to thousands of Internet radio stations, use music services
like Rhapsody and Pandora Radio, and even access an MP3tunes music locker,
all in the palm of your hand. Also included is Squeezebox Receiver, a compact
network music player that delivers the music stored on your computer or
the Internet to your stereo or powered speakers using your home network.
You can add additional Squeezebox Receivers, or other Squeezebox family
players, to other rooms in your home and listen to a unique playlist on each
one, or synchronize them to play the same music everywhere.
This User Guide includes setup and basic instructions for using your
Squeezebox Duet. As we are constantly upgrading and improving the
product, not all features may be covered here. You can find additional
information about the latest features, as well as join our active community
forums and access detailed documentation for developers on our web site at

Before You Begin
If you already have a wireless or ethernet network and a computer to use as
a server, setting up your Squeezebox Duet should take about 30 minutes. To
make the set up as simple as possible, there are a few things you should do.
Choose Your Network Setup
Installing your new Squeezebox Duet is easier if you know how your home
network is set up, so you can follow the correct installation instructions.
There are three possible configurations:
An
•�
“all-wireless” installation, where you already have a wireless
network in your home and you will connect both Squeezebox
Controller and Squeezebox Receiver to it.
A
•�
“hybrid” installation, where you have both a wireless and wired
network in your home, and you will be connecting Squeezebox
Controller wirelessly and Squeezebox Receiver with an ethernet
cable.
A
•�
“bridged” installation, used when you only have a wired network.
In this configuration, Squeezebox Receiver is connected to your
network with an ethernet cable, and Squeezebox Controller uses the
Receiver as a “bridge” back to your network.
Find Your Wireless Network Settings
This section applies only if you will be setting up Squeezebox Duet to
connect to your existing wireless network in an all-wireless or a hybrid
installation. Gathering information about your network now will make the set
up process easier.
Network name (SSID): _________________________________
Security Key: _________________________________________
If your network is secured, you will need to enter the security key when you
set up your network music system.
Squeezebox Duet supports the most common types of security keys used
on 802.11 wireless networks: WEP (64- and 128-bit), WPA, and WPA2. It is
important that you have the security key ready before you start.
