Keep network connected
Your sound system has the option to shut down its WiFi or Ethernet
connection when it is in Standby. This minimises power consumption but
it does mean that you will need to switch the radio on manually in order
to use either Spotify Connect, the 'Play to' function or any remote control
software such as ConnectR app.
If you need to be able to remotely control the sound system even when
it has been put into Standby, then you can choose to keep the network
connected by using the
'Keep network connected'
option in the network
settings menu. In the Standby mode display the WiFi signal indicator is
shown with or without a cross through it, or the Ethernet connection indicator
is shown unplugged or plugged in, according to the state of the connection.

Windows 'Play to' function (UPnP renderer)
If you use Windows 7 or 8, it is possible to choose a music album, track or
playlist at the computer and then tell Windows that this should be played
on the sound system using the 'Play to' function.
Using suitable software (sometimes known as a UPnP Control Point),
similar functionality is available for other computer types and for handheld
devices using Apple's iOS or Android operating systems. In this mode the
sound system acts as a UPnP Renderer.
1. In order to use the 'Play to' function, the sound system must be
actively connected to the network. The
fi
rst time that you use the 'Play
to' function you will need to allow Windows to recognise your sound
system. To do this, please go to step 2.
If you have previously used 'Play to' so that Windows remembers your
sound system and you have con
fi
gured your radio to keep its network
connection in Standby mode (see 'Keep network connected', at left),
then go to step 3.
2. If your sound system is not currently in use, or does not have an active
connection to your network, then you should
fi
rst switch on your sound
system and select the Music player mode using the
Mode
button. Then
select 'Shared media' from the menu so that the radio establishes a
connection with Windows Media Player on your PC. After this step,
all other functions may be performed from your computer.
3. At your Windows PC, locate the
fi
le, album or playlist that you wish
to play on the sound system.
4. Use the right-hand mouse button to pop-up a menu of options for the
chosen item and select the 'Play to' option.
5. Windows should show you one or more devices, including your sound
system, to which you may choose to send the music. Highlight the
radio item and click with the left mouse button.
