Shared Media (UPnP) Set up

Shard Media uses Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 and above as

media server. This mode does not require any setting in the radio,

but the PC needs to be configured to allow the radio access to

the media. You will only have to do it once, following the next steps.

1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista then

you can use Microsoft’s Windows Media Player 11 (WMP 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 website and installed it, or by using Microsoft’s

Windows Update facility.

2. Once installed, WMP 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 ‘File > Add to Library… > Advanced Options’, click ‘Add’ and

choose the files you wish to add and click ‘OK’.

The Internet radio is presented as an “Unknown Device”.

Make sure that the device has access to the shared media

by selecting it and clicking <Allow>. Then click <OK>.

The PC is now ready to stream the music to the radio.
