Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC
1. I f 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. O nce 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.
4. Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary until 'Shared media' is highlighted
and press the Tuning Control Rotary. The radio will scan for all
available UPnP servers. It may take a few seconds for the radio
to complete its scan. The radio will display '<Empty>' if no UPnP
servers are found.
5. After scanning, select your UPnP server using the Tuning Control
Rotary. If you are using WMP 11 as the server, your radio will then
normally display 'Unauthorized - Select to retry' 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 radio may
access the music files, you will need to click the 'Library' tab in WMP
11 and select the 'Media Sharing...' item to open the 'Media Sharing'
window. Make sure the box 'Share my media to:' is ticked.
7. I n the 'Media Sharing' window, the radio will be listed as an unknown
device. Click on the unknown device shown to select it, then click the
'Allow' button and then click 'OK'.
Note:
I f you are using Microsoft Windows' firewall software, this should be
correctly configured by WMP 11. If you are using third party firewall
software you may need to manually configure it to allow your unit and
WMP 11 to communicate.
8. On the radio, select the named server again using the Tuning
Control Rotary. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with your
radio you will be presented with some media selection options on the
display.
