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 sound system 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 WMP 11 as the server, your sound system will

then normally display 'Unauthorised - Select to retry' 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 sound system

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 sound system 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 89).

8. On the sound system, select the named server again using the

Tuning/Select control. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with

your sound system you will be presented with some media selection

options on the display.
