4. Press
Menu Up
or
Down
until
'Shared media'
is highlighted
and press
Select
. The audio system will scan for all available
UPnP servers. It may take a few seconds for the audio system
to complete its scan. The audio system will display
'<Empty>'
if no UPnP servers are found.
5. After scanning, select your UPnP server. If you allowed automatic
connection previously, your audio system should now connect
and you may skip to the next page.
If you did not permit automatic connections, your audio system
will then normally display
'Unauthorised'
at this stage.
6. Your PC may prompt you that there has been a connection to
your UPnP server. Whether prompted or not, in order that the
audio system may access the music files, you will need to click
the
'Library'
tab in WMP 12 and select the
'Stream…'
item to
open the
'Media Streaming'
window. Select
'Automatically allow
devices to play my media' then select 'Automatically allow all
computer and media devices'
.
Alternatively select
'More Streaming options'
to enable sharing
on a 'per device' basis.
7. In the
'More streaming options'
window, the unit may be listed as
a blocked device. Click on the button shown to select
'Allowed'
.
Note: If you are using Microsoft's Windows' firewall software,
this should be correctly configured by WMP 12. If you are using
third party firewall software you may need to manually configure
it to allow your unit and WMP 12 to communicate (see the
'Troubleshooting' section on page 85).
8. On the
audio
system, select the named server again. If WMP 12
is now able to communicate with your audio system you will be
presented with some media selection options on the display.
