Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC

Accessing your audio ﬁles via a UPnP server using Windows Vista and XP

If your computer is running Windows Vista or XP, then Windows Media Player version 11 (also referred to here as WMP 11) includes a UPnP server which will make your ﬁles available to your radio. There are other UPnP server solutions available for non-Windows users and for Windows users who may wish to use an alternative (see page 35).

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 on a Windows PC

1.If your PC is running Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP then you can use Microsoft's Windows Media Player version 11 to act as your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server. If not already installed on your PC, Windows Media Player 11 may be downloaded from Microsoft’s web site and installed by following the instructions detailed in its installation wizard, or by using Microsoft's Windows Update facility.

2.Once installed, WMP 11 can create a library from all the media ﬁles available to it on your PC. To add new media ﬁles to the library, select the 'Library' tab, then 'Add to Library… > Advanced Options', click 'Add', choose the ﬁles or folders that you wish to add and click ‘OK’.

The next step is to connect your radio to WMP 11 and to conﬁgure the program to allow the radio to access your media library.

3.Press the On/Off button to switch the unit on. Then 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.
