Operating the UPnP source
(Streaming Client)
General
information on
the streaming
client The MP 8
features what is known as a ‘streaming client’. This facility
makes it possible to play music files stored on PCs or servers (NAS)
within the network.
The media content formats which the
MP 8 can reproduce are very wide-
ranging, and extend from compressed formats such as MP3, AAC and
OGG Vorbis to high-quality non-compressed data formats such as FLAC,
ALAC, AIFF and WAV, which are thoroughly audiophile in nature. Since
virtually no read or data errors occur when electronic memory media are
accessed, the potential reproduction quality is even higher than that of
CD. The quality level may even exceed that of SACD and DVD-Audio.
Selecting the
UPnP source Briefly press the

-button on the FM8 remote control handset, or
the  -button on the MP 8 - repeatedly if necessary - until the
source “
UPnP / DLNA
” is displayed on the screen.
Playback The music content to be played is selected with the help of Select lists.
These lists are controlled using the navigation buttons (cursor buttons)
on the remote control handset.
a)
Use the



buttons to select the desired entry Server
/ Folder / Track from the list.
A brief press selects the previous / next entry within the list. The
scrolling speed can be increased by holding the button pressed.
The list entry you choose is now displayed in enlarged form.
Press the

or

/

- button to open or start the
list entry shown in enlarged form.
Pressing the

button returns you to the list.
b) Indicates the currently selected point within the opened list.

The exact form of the displayed list and the preparation of the content
also depend to a large extent on the capabilities of the server, i.e. the full
facilities of the
MP 8 cannot be exploited with all servers or media. You
may therefore find that in many cases not all the functions described in
these instructions can be used.
