Setting up a Music Server
•
In order for your radio play music les from a computer, the computer must be set up to share
les or media.

UPnP media sharing allows devices like this radio to play music from a shared media library,
navigating through tag menus such as Artist, Album or Genre.

If you are running a suitable server system such as a PC with Windows Media Player10 or
later (WMP), and your music library is well-tagged, then it is recommended to use media
sharing.
•
Only the UPnP server needs to be set up.
Sharing Media with Windows Media Player
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later). Alternatively, other UPnP
platforms and servers may be used. To set up WMP for media sharing, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
2. Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network.
3. In WMP, add to media library about the audio les and folders you want to share with your
radio (Library > Add to Library…).
4. In WMP, enable media sharing (Library > Media sharing…).
5. Make sure your radio has accessed to the shared media by selecting it and clicking Allow.
You can also set a name for the shared media in Settings… Click OK to close the dialogue
boxes.
6. The PC is now ready to stream music to the radio. The WMP UPnP service runs in the
background, there is no need to start WMP explicitly.
