Music player mode
If you are not already in Music player mode, short press the Mode button on the HiFi or on
the remote control, then use the rotary Tune/Select control on the HiFi or the
and
buttons on the remote control to highlight My Music. Press the Tune/Select control on the HiFi
or the Select button on the remote control to select.
In music player mode, you can listen to audio files that are stored on your computer via your
HiFi. MP3, WMA, AAC,WAV and FLAC audio file types are supported.
UPnP media sharing enables your HiFi to play music from a shared media library. If you are
using a suitable server system such as a computer with Windows Media Player 10 or later
(WMP), and your music library is well tagged, only the UPnP server needs to be set up.
Note: If you are an Apple Mac user, iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server,
but there are add-ons available to work with an iTunes library, such as Plex Media Server.
These are not covered within this guide.
In order to play the audio files on your HiFi, you must first ensure the following:
• Your HiFi has the ‘Keep Network Connected’ option turned on. See page 8, point 6.
• Your computer is connected to the same router and network as your HiFi.
• The audio files are stored in the correct location on your computer.
• The audio files are not ‘protected’.
• Your computer has the correct type of audio files and playlists stored on a networked
computer.
• Your computer has file sharing turned on.
• The audio files can be shared on the network.
• You know the name of your computer.
