Troubleshooting
Using your Internet DAB Radio
Let’s get started
Music player mode
If you are not already in Music player mode, short press the Mode button until My Music is
highlighted, then short press the rotary Tune/Select control.
In music player mode, you can listen to audio files that are stored on your computer via
your radio. MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV audio file types are supported.
UPnP media sharing enables your radio 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 radio, you must first ensure the following:
• Your radio has the ‘Keep Network Connected’ option turned on. See page 19, point 6.
• Your computer is connected to the same router and network as your radio.
• 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.
