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 the On/Off button to switch on the unit. Press and release 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.
