Locating and playing media fi les using UPnP
Once the UPnP server has been confi gured to share media fi les with your
radio, you may select the fi les that you wish to play as follows:-
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. Text entry
is described on page 11.
When you fi rst set up sharing with a UPnP server, it is likely that not all of
your fi les will be available immediately. The UPnP server must look inside
each fi le 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 fi les this
can take some time.
