Locate the audio file of Shared Media(UPnP) using the radio

Once the Shared Media (UPnP) server has been configured to share media files with your Internet radio, you select the files that you wish to play as follows:

1.Turn on the radio. Press the BACK button and use the TUNING knob to access the Main menu, and under the main menu, access the Shared Media.

2.It will show all the names of computers on the network. Rotate and press the TUNING knob to select the computer.

If the computer’s security setting is required, the radio may ask for a user name and password.

3.The radio will now list the media categories which are made available by the UPnP server - for example, ‘Music’ and ‘Playlists’.

4.Rotate and press the TUNING knob repeatedly to select the media files that you wish to play.

5.When the music is playing, use the BACK and FORWARD buttons to select next/previous track, press STOP button to stop the playing.

6.To go back to the previous menu, rotate the TUNING knob and press the BACK button.

Note:

In Shared Media (UPnP) mode the search criteria offered and the file types made available to the radio are a function of the UPnP server software installed on your PC.

Media selection

Whether you access your files using Windows Shares or using Shared Media(UPnP), the file selection mechanisms are the same. The only difference between the two methods is that when using Shared Media (UPnP) you will generally have a wider choice of search criteria,

as determined by the Shared Media (UPnP) server software on your computer. Some third party server applications allow customization of the search criteria and indexing methods, which can be useful if you have a very large collection of stored music files.

The selection mechanism allows you to search by a given information type (Album, Artist, etc.) and then to narrow the search, either just to an album or to a particular track within an album. The selected album or track is then added to a queue of tracks to be played. You can add more albums or tracks to the queue while music is playing, or you can jump between tracks in the queue. You can also clear the queue if you wish to make a fresh selection. The searches described here are examples of the possibilities available.
