Information .

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 89).

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 90.
