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:-
1. Press and hold the On/Off control 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.
2. Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Shared media' is highlighted
on the display and then press the control 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/Select control to highlight
your UPnP server and then press the Tuning/Select control. 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/Select control to highlight which category you wish to
browse, then press the control to confirm your choice.
If you wish to use the search function rotate the Tuning/Select control
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.
