Media selection Whether you access your files using Windows Shares or using UPnP, the file selection mechanisms are the same. The only difference between the two methods is that when using UPnP you will generally have a wider choice of search criteria, as determined by the UPnP server software on your computer. Some third party server applications allow customisation of the search criteria and indexing methods, which can be useful if you have a very large collection of stored music files.

Troubleshooting If you have difficulty connecting the radio to your wireless network, some of these steps may help to resolve the problem: 1. Confirm that a Wi-Fi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network. 2.
