Normally you need an SB Controller (SBC) to configure the SB Receiver (SBR). You can't use the SB3/Classic remote control because the SBR has no infrared remote support. However, there is a 3rd party tool (Net::UDAP) that will allow you to configure the SBR without an SBC. Check out this thread

Even if Napster started streaming at 192kbps, the menu would still show 128, because that value is hardcoded in there. At the time it was implemented, that's all they had with no plans to change. If you find a track you think is 192 let me know and I'll confirm. -- andyg
