Accessing your audio ﬁles via a UPnP server

If your computer is running Windows 7, then Windows Media Player version 12 includes a UPnP
server which will make your ﬁles available to your radio.

If you have Windows Vista or XP (Please refer to the section of ‘Accessing your audio ﬁles via
a UPnP server using Windows Vista and XP’). 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 section).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 with Windows Media Player 12

1. Windows Media Player 12 (referred to here as WMP 12) can create a library from all the media
ﬁles available on your PC. To add new media ﬁles to the library, select 'Library', then 'Music',
then 'All music' or 'Artist', 'Album' etc. This will show you the current library contents. You may
then simply drag and drop ﬁles from other locations into the library. Alternatively, with media
files or folders on the screen, you may right-click on the file or folder and select 'Include in
library' and then select 'Music'. In this way you can quickly add additional content to your music
library.

2. In WMP 12, click on 'Stream' (see picture at right) and then select 'Automatically allow devices
to play my media'. Then accept the 'Automatically allow all computer and media devices' option.
There are other options (see overleaf) but this is the simplest if you just wish to quickly enable
media streaming to your radio.

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. Then press

the

Tuning Control Rotary. The main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.
