Accessing your audio files via a UPnP server
If your computer is running Windows (XP or Vista), then Windows Media
Player version 11 includes a UPnP server which will make your files
available to your sound system. There are other UPnP server solutions
available for non-Windows users and for Windows users who may wish
to use an alternative (see the preceding page).
It is beyond the scope of this instruction book to cover all possible options
for UPnP. We explain the use of Microsoft's Windows Media Player here
since that will be the first choice for the majority of users.
Set up UPnP access on a Windows PC
1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista then
you can use Microsoft's Windows Media Player version 11 to act as
your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server. If not already
installed on your PC, Windows Media Player 11 may be downloaded
from Microsoft’s web site and installed by following the instructions
detailed in its installation wizard, or by using Microsoft's Windows
Update facility.
2. Once installed, Windows Media Player 11 can create a library from all
the media files available to it on your PC. To add new media files to
the library, select the 'Library' tab, then 'Add to Library… > Advanced
Options', click 'Add', choose the files you wish to add and click ‘OK’.
The next step is to connect your sound system to Windows Media Player 11
and to configure the program to allow the sound system to access your
media library.
3. Press the On/Off button to switch the unit on. Then press the Mode
button as needed until the Music Player mode display is shown. The
main 'Music Player' menu will then be displayed.
