Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server

If your computer is running Windows (XP or Vista), then Windows Media

Player version 11 includes a UPnP server which will make your files

available to your sound system. There are other UPnP server solutions

available for non-Windows users and for Windows users who may wish

to use an alternative (see the preceding page).
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 XP or Windows Vista 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, Windows Media Player 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 you wish to add and click ‘OK’.

The next step is to connect your sound system to Windows Media Player 11

and to configure the program to allow the sound system to access your

media library.

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

button as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown. The

main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.
