large number of audio files this could take several minutes to complete.
9. Once the radio has .nished scanning, it will display ‘By Album’, 'By Artist', etc. Use the

Note that the first time the file scan is performed, a file called ‘.reciva_ media_cache’ is written to the folder
where the audio files are stored. This file is created by the scanning software in order to speed up subsequent
file scans.
Set up a Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via a UPnP server
1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista then you can use Microsoft's Windows
Media Player 11 (WMP 11) to act as your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server. If not already
installed on your PC, Windows Media Player 11 may be downloaded from Microsoft’s website and installed
by following the instructions detailed in its installation wizard, or by using Microsoft's Windows Update
facility.
2. Once installed, WMP 11 can create a library from all the media files available to it on your PC. To add new
media files to the library, select 'File > Add to Library… > Advanced Options', click 'Add' and choose the files
you wish to add and click ‘OK’.
You will now need to connect your Internet radio to Windows Media Player 11 and configure it to allow the
radio to access your media library. In order to this, you will need to follow these next steps.

2. Press and release the

take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan and before the scan has completed, the radio will display

3. After scanning, select your UPnP server (rotate the
Select
control if more than one UpnP server is found),
and then press the

4. Your PC may now prompt you that a device has attempted to connect to your UPnP server. Whether you are
prompted or not, in order to allow the radio to have access to the media files, you will need to click the
'Library' tab in WMP 11 and select the 'Media Sharing…' item to open the 'Media Sharing' window.
