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:-
Press the Standby button to switch on the unit. Press the Media button as needed until the Music
Player mode display is shown. The main Music Player menu will then be displayed.
Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the touch panel until 'Shared media' is highlighted on
the display and then press the Select button to cause the radio to scan for UPnP servers. Note
that it may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan. The display will return to the
Music Player menu if no UPnP servers are found.
After a successful scan, press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the touch panel to highlight
your UPnP server and then press the Select button. 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'. Press the Tuning Up or Down buttons on the touch
panel to highlight which category you wish to browse, then press the Select button to confirm
your choice. If you wish to use the search function press the Tuning Up or Down buttons
(on the touch panel) until 'Search' is selected on the display. You may select characters to build
a keyword for searching for content to play.
When you first set up sharing with a UPnP server, 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.
