4. Touch 

Shared Media. The radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. 

It may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan. The radio 
will display 'No UPnP service' if no UPnP servers are found.

5.  After scanning, select your UPnP server. If you allowed automatic 

connection previously, your radio should now connect and you may 
skip to the next page.

 

If you did not permit automatic connections, your radio will then normally 
display 'Unauthorised' at this stage.

6.  Your PC may prompt you that there has been a connection to your 

UPnP server. Whether prompted or not, in order that the radio may 
access the music fi les, you will need to click the 'Library' tab in WMP  12 
and select the 'Stream…' item to open the 'Media Streaming' window. 
Select 'Automatically allow devices to play my media' then select 
'Automatically allow all computer and media devices'.

'More Streaming options' to enable sharing on a 

'per device' basis.

the 

'More streaming options' window, the radio will be listed as a 

blocked device. Click on the button shown to select 'Allowed'.

 

Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows' fi rewall software, this should 
be correctly confi gured by WMP 12. If you are using third party fi rewall 
software you may need to manually confi gure it to allow your unit 
and WMP 12 to communicate (see the 'Troubleshooting' section on 
page 87).

8.  On the radio, select the named server again. If WMP 12  is now able 

to communicate with your radio you will be presented with some media 
selection options on the display.
