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 are using Windows Media Player 11 as the server, 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 11 and select the 'Media Sharing…' item to open the 'Media Sharing' window. Make sure the box 'Share my media to:' is ticked.

7.In the 'Media Sharing' window, the radio will be listed as an unknown device. Click on the unknown device shown to select it, then click the 'Allow' button and then click 'OK'.

Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows' firewall software, this should be correctly configured by WMP 11. If you are using third party firewall software you may need to manually configure it to allow your unit and WMP 11 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 11 is now able to communicate with your radio you will be presented with some media selection options on the display.

In the event that you are unable to make your radio work with WMP 11 then the reason is most likely related to security settings in your software firewall or router. Please refer to 'Music Player / UPnP problems' on page 68.
