Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC - cont.

4.Rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'Shared media' is highlighted and press the control to select. 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/Select control. If you allowed automatic connection previously, your radio should now connect and you may skip to the next page.

If you did not permit automatic connections, your radio will then normally display 'Unauthorised' 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 12 and select the 'Stream…' item to open the 'Media Streaming' window. Select 'Automatically allow devices to play my media' then select 'Automatically allow all computer and media devices'.

Alternatively select 'More Streaming options' to enable sharing on a 'per device' basis.

7.In the 'More streaming options' window, the radio will be listed as a blocked device. Click on the button shown to select 'Allowed'.

Note: If you are using Microsoft's Windows' ﬁrewall software, this should be correctly conﬁgured by WMP 12. If you are using third party ﬁrewall software you may need to manually conﬁgure it to allow your unit and WMP 12 to communicate (see the 'Troubleshooting' section on page 67).

8.On the radio, select the named server again using the Tuning/Select control. If WMP 12 is now able to communicate with your radio you will be presented with some media selection options on the display.
