One other item:   The Internet Radio needs to be connected to the Internet.  I did NOT have a telephone line in the Piano Room. I use an ATT Wireless Modem DSL (Telephone Line dependent).  
However by purchasing an APPLE  Airport Express device (www.apple.com/airportexpress/) I was able to connect the 850 to this device which in turn WIRELESSLY connects to the Home wireless network (ATT Wireless modem).  Thus, I did NOT have any Telephone lines or Ethernet lines coming out from piano.  Also the Mac computer "Sees" the 850 hard drive wirelessly too.  VERY COOL.
