Locating And Playing Media Files Using Upnp - Sangean WFR-29D Manual

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 the Mode button as needed until the
Music Player mode display is shown. The main Music Player menu will then be displayed.
. Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary until 'Shared media' is highlighted on the display and then
press the Tuning Control Rotary 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.
3. After a successful scan, rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to highlight your UPnP server and
then press the Tuning Control Rotary. If the display shows multiple media types, select 'Music'.
(Some UPnP servers can serve pictures and video content to suitable devices.)
4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available by the UPnP server - for
example, 'Album', 'Artist' and 'Genre'. Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to highlight which
category you wish to browse, then press the Tuning Control Rotary to confirm your choice.
If you wish to use the search function rotate the Tuning Control Rotary 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.
