Select buttons. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with your

radio you will be presented with some media selection options by

Locating and playing media files when using UPnP

Once the UPnP server has been configured to share media files with

your Internet radio, you select the files that you wish to play as follows:

1. Turn on your radio and to access the menu direction “ Media Player >

UPnP Servers “. If needed, press the Back button.

2. Press the Select button and the radio will scan for all available

UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few seconds for the radio to

complete its scan, and that before the scan has completed the radio

may display ‘Empty’. The radio will continue to display ‘Empty’ if no

UPnP servers are found.

3. After a successful scan, press the Tuning+/- buttons to highlight your

UPnP server and then press the Select button.

4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available

by the UPnP server - for example, “Music” and “Playlists”.

Press the Tuning+/- and the Select button to make your choice on

the category.

5. Use the same way to make your choice. For example, you could

select “Music” and then select “Albums”.

Note:

In UPnP mode the search criteria offered and the file types made

available to the radio are a function of the UPnP server software

installed on your PC.

6. Use the same way to make the choice on the media files that you

wish to play.

Do not worry if not all of your media appear in the menus immediately.

Windows Media Player needs to look inside each file to identify the

artist, album and track information from ‘tags’ embedded in each file.

Additionally, Windows Media Player may take 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.

7. The radio will display “Add to Queue”. Press the Select button and

the radio will add all the tracks in the album to its queue and begin

playing them automatically.

And refer to “Operation after you set up for Window Shares,

UPnP or USB/SD card” below for the operation.
