Accessing your audio
fi
les via a UPnP server
If your computer is running Windows 7 or 8, then Windows Media Player
includes a UPnP server which will make your
fi
les available to your radio.
There are other UPnP server solutions available for non-Windows users
and for Windows users who may wish to use an alternative (see the
preceding page).
It is beyond the scope of this instruction book to cover all possible options
for UPnP. We explain the use of Microsoft's Windows Media Player here
since that will be the
fi
rst choice for the majority of users.
Set up UPnP access with Windows Media Player
1. Windows Media Player version 12 (referred to here as WMP 12) can
create a library from all the media
fi
les available to it on your PC. To
add new media
fi
les to the library, select
'Library'
, then
'Music'
, then
'All music'
or
'Artist'
,
'Album'
etc. This will show you the current library
contents. You may then simply drag and drop
fi
les from other locations
into the library. Alternatively, with media
fi
les or folders on the screen,
you may right-click on the
fi
le or folder and select
'Include in library'
and then select
'Music'
. In this way you can quickly add additional
content to your music library.
2. In WMP 12, click on
'Stream'
(see picture at right) and then select
'Automatically allow devices to play my media'
. Then accept the
'Automatically allow all computer and media devices'
option. There
are other options (see overleaf) but this is the simplest if you just wish
to quickly enable media streaming to your radio.
3. Press and release the
On/Standby
button to switch the radio on. Then
press the
Mode
button as needed until the
Music Player
mode display
is shown. The main
'Music Player'
menu will then be displayed.
