LOCATING AND PLAYING MEDIA FILES USING
THE RADIO AND UPNP
1. Once the UPnP server is configured to share media files with the Internet radio, you can
play the files by doing the following on the radio:
2. Keep pressing BACK to get to the radio’s top-level menu and then turn the knob to
select ‘Media Player’.
3. Press SELECT and then turn the knob to highlight ‘UPNP Servers’.
4. Press SELECT and the radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. Note, this may take a
few seconds for the radio to complete its scan and before the scan has completed, the
radio will display ‘[Empty]’. The radio will continue to display ‘[Empty]’ if no UPnP servers
are found.
5. After a successful scan, select your UPnP server, by rotating the knob if there is more than
one UPnP server, and then press SELECT.
6. At this stage, your radio should be listed in Windows Media Connect and can be viewed
from the ‘Devices’ pane; your radio will be displayed with its MAC address. To verify
that the MAC address listed is your radio, select ‘Configure’ on your radio’s menu and
then turn the knob until ‘Network Config’ is displayed and press SELECT. Then turn the
knob until ‘View Config’ is selected, press SELECT again and turn the knob until ‘MAC
Address’ is selected to view your radio’s MAC address.
7. The radio will now list the media categories available from the UPnP server, e.g. ‘Music’,
‘Play lists’ etc. Turn the knob to select which category you wish to browse, press SELECT
and turn the knob to highlight a sub category and press SELECT again. For example, you
could select ‘Music’ and then ‘Album’.
8. Turn the knob to highlight the media files that you wish to play and press SELECT.
9. The radio will display ‘[Add to Queue]’, press SELECT and the radio will add the tracks to
its queue and begin playing them automatically.
Note: If you have a very large collection, “All Music” may not function, please use
“Album” or “Artist” to browse.
