Music player mode

If you are not already in Music player mode, short press the Mode button on the HiFi or on 
the remote control, then use the rotary Tune/Select control on the HiFi or the 

 and 

 

buttons on the remote control to highlight My Music.  Press the Tune/Select control on the HiFi 
or the Select button on the remote control to select.
In music player mode, you can listen to audio files that are stored on your computer via your 
HiFi.  MP3, WMA, AAC,WAV and FLAC audio file types are supported.
UPnP media sharing enables your HiFi to play music from a shared media library.  If you are 
using a suitable server system such as a computer with Windows Media Player 10 or later 
(WMP), and your music library is well tagged, only the UPnP server needs to be set up.

Note:

 If you are an Apple Mac user, iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, 

but there are add-ons available to work with an iTunes library, such as Plex Media Server.  
These are not covered within this guide. 

In order to play the audio files on your HiFi, you must first ensure the following:
•  Your HiFi has the ‘Keep Network Connected’ option turned on.  See page 8, point 6. 
•  Your computer is connected to the same router and network as your HiFi. 
•  The audio files are stored in the correct location on your computer. 
•  The audio files are not ‘protected’.
•  Your computer has the correct type of audio files and playlists stored on a networked 

computer.

•  Your computer has file sharing turned on.
•  The audio files can be shared on the network.
•  You know the name of your computer.

Setting up your Windows computer to allow access to your audio files 

1.  Ensure that your computer is connected to the same router and network as your HiFi. 
2.  Check that your HiFi is connected to the same router and network as your computer and 

has the ‘Keep Network Connected” option turned on.  See page 8, point 6. 

3.  On your computer, in the Windows Media Player, add to the media library the audio files 

and folders that you would like to share with your HiFi. 

4.  In Windows Media Player, enable media sharing, select Library > Media sharing.
5.  Ensure that your HiFi will be able to access the shared media by selecting it within the 

Windows Media Player and clicking ‘Allow’. You can also choose a name for the shared 
media in ‘Settings’.   Click ‘OK’ to close the dialogue boxes.

6.  Your computer is now ready to stream the music to your HiFi.
