Media Center
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
The device supports UPnP and is DLNA-compatible.
This provides the opportunity to stream music from other network devices.
However, this requires you to have a compatible device in your network that can
function as a server. This can be something like a network hard drive or a
conventional PC for example, Windows 8 via which media sharing is permitted. The
folders can then be browsed and played on the Tuner.
Please make sure your PC or laptop is on the same Wi-Fi network as the
Radio before you start using this function.
Configuring UPnP server
Before you can stream music from your device (laptop or PC) on to the radio, you
must set up the audio files and enable permission for streaming on your device. The
exact procedure depends on your device configuration and media player version. In
general:
- Save the audio files you wish to play on to the media library.
- Enable media sharing on your media player and if prompted, ‘Allow’ the radio to
access the shared audio files.
- For some devices, you might first need to set up a home network or home group
before file sharing is possible.
Note: Refer to your device’s documentation for specific information.
Music streaming via UPnP
Once the UPnP server is configured to share media files with your radio, you can
start music streaming.
1. On the main menu, select
<Media Centre>
and choose
<UPnP>
2. 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>
.
3. After a successful scan is done, select your UPnP server.
4. The radio will show the media categories available from the UPnP server, e.g.
'Music', 'Playlists' etc.
5. Choose the media files that you wish to play.
