SETTING UP A UPNP SERVER AND PLAYING
AUDIO USING WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
Follow these steps to set up a UPnP server using
Windows Media Player (version 10 or later):
1. Turn on your PC and make sure it is connected to the
same network as your WFR-32.
2. Make sure the WFR-32 is turned on as well and the
UPnP item is selected in the Media Center menu.
3. Add the music files, and folders that you want to share
with the radio to your Windows Media Player library by
clicking Organize > Manage libraries > Music on the
computer.

6. After turning on media streaming, a new window will
appear in which you can configure which devices
have access to the media library. Make sure the radio
(“WFR-32” in the screenshot below) is allowed access
to the media library and click OK on the computer.

7. The radio will now be able to browse through the
media library shared on the PC. Simply select the file
or playlist that you want to play on the radio to enjoy
your PC’s music library through your radio’s speaker.
8. When you first set up sharing with a UPnP server,
not all of your files will be available immediately. The
UPnP server must look inside each file 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 files
this can take some time.
If the display shows “empty”, please leave the UPnP
mode first, wait 3 to 5 minutes for the device to search
for files on the UPnP server, and then enter the UPnP
mode again.
9. After playback has started, the display will show the
“Now Playing” screen with cover art (if available), the
artist’s name, the title name, the album name, the
composer’s name and the playback progress. Press
the repeatedly on the Next button (6) on the radio or
Right button (r)on the remote control to zoom in on the
cover art or view it in full screen.
10. Playback can be controlled using the remote
controlled using the Play / Pause (g), Next track (n),
Previous track (h), Repeat (k), and Shuffle (l) buttons
on the remote control.
CASTING MUSIC TO THE RADIO
Windows Media Player also allows users to cast music to
the radio. This can be convenient when you are working
on your PC and want to play songs through the radio’s
speaker without having to actually control the radio.
