Accessing Audio Files Via Upnp Server (Windows Vista And Xp) - Sangean WFT-2D Manual

Accessing your radio 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 preceding page).
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 On/Standby button to switch the unit on. Then touch the My Music mode button until
the main 'Music Player' menu is displayed.
