Locating and playing media files using UPnP

Once the UPnP server has been configured to share media files with your radio, you may select
the files that you wish to play as follows:-

From the home menu select

My Music mode button,

Select

Shared Media to cause the radio to scan for UPnP servers. Note: that it may take a few

seconds for the radio to complete its scan.

After a successful scan, select your

UPnP server. If the display shows multiple media types,

select

Music. (Some UPnP servers can serve pictures and video content to suitable devices.)

The radio will now list the media categories which are made available by the UPnP server - for
example, 'Album', 'Artist' and 'Genre'. Select the

category you wish to browse. If you wish to use

the search function touch

Search. You may select characters to build a keyword for searching for

content to play.

When you first set up sharing with a UPnP server, it is likely that not all of your files will be
available immediately. The UPnP server must look inside each file to identify the artist and album
information from 'tags' embedded in them. The server may also need time to access the Internet
to obtain additional information such as 'album art' which it can display when you examine your
music library on your PC. For a library of many files this can take some time.
