Accessing Your Audio Files Via A Upnp Server Using Windows Vista And Xp - Sangean WFR-27C Instruction Manual

Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server using Windows Vista and XP

If your computer is running Windows Vista or XP, then Windows Media Player version 11
includes a UPnP server which will make your files 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 section of Use with Windows, Apple Mac and Linux).
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 first choice for the
majority of users.
Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC
1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP then you can use Microsoft's
Windows Media Player version 11 to act as your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server.
If not already installed on your PC, Windows Media Player 11 may be downloaded from
Microsoft's web site and installed by following the instructions detailed in its installation wizard,
or by using Microsoft's Windows Update facility.
2. Once installed, Windows Media Player 11 can create a library from all the media files available
to it on your PC. To add new media files to the library, select the 'Library' tab, then 'Add to
Library... > Advanced Options', click 'Add', choose the files you wish to add and click 'OK'.
The next step is to connect your radio to Windows Media Player 11 and to configure the program
to allow the radio to access your media library.
3. Press the Standby button to switch the unit on. Then press the Mode button and rotate the
Tuning Control Rotary as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown. Press the
Tuning Control Rotary to select the option. The main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.
