8. Media Centre
The device supports UPnP and is DLNA-compatible.
This provides the opportunity to stream music from your network. However, this requires you to have a
compatible device in your network that can function as a server. This can be a network hard drive or a
conventional PC with e.g., Windows 8 via which access to the shared folder or media sharing is
permitted. Folders can then be browsed and played on the radio.
Please make sure your computer laptop is on the same Wi-Fi network as the Radio before you
start using this function.
Music streaming
• Once the UPnP/DLNA compatible server is configure to share media files with your radio, you
can start music streaming.
• On the main menu, select
Media Centre and choose UPnP.
• It may take a few seconds for the radio to complete the scan for available UPnP servers. If no
UPnP servers are found, it will show
Empty List.
• After a successful scan is done, select your UPnP server.
• The radio will show the media categories available from the UPnP server, e.g. 'Music',
'Playlists', etc.
