Locating and playing media files using UPnP

Once the UPnP server has been configured to share media files with your radio, you may select
the files that you wish to play as follows:-
. Press the Standby button to switch on the unit. Press and hold the Mode button and Press the
Tuning buttons as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown. Then press the Select
button. The main Music Player menu will then be displayed.
. Press the Tuning buttons until 'Shared media' is highlighted on the display and then press the
Select button to cause the radio to scan for UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few seconds
for the radio to complete its scan. The display will return to the Music Player menu if no UPnP
servers are found.
. After a successful scan, Press the Tuning buttons to highlight your UPnP server and then press
the Select button. If the display shows multiple media types, select 'Music'. (Some UPnP servers
can serve pictures and video content to suitable devices.)
. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available by the UPnP server - for
example, 'Album', 'Artist' and 'Genre'. Press the Tuning buttons to highlight which category
you wish to browse, then press the Select button to confirm your choice.
If you wish to use the search function Press the Tuning buttons until 'Search' is selected on the
display. You may select characters to build a keyword for searching for content to play.
When you first set up sharing with a UPnP server, not all of your files will be available immediately.
The UPnP server must look inside each file to identify the artist and album information from 'tags'
embedded in them.
The server may also need time to access the Internet to obtain additional information such as
'album art' which it can display when you examine your music library on your PC. For a library of
many files this can take some time.
