Shared Media (UPnP)
Shared Media uses Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 and above as
media server. This mode does not require any setting in the radio, but
the PC needs to be congured to allow the radio access to the media.
You will only have to do it once.
To setup your PC for shared media:
1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista then
you can use Microsoft’s Windows Media Player 11 (WMP 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 website.
2. Once installed, WMP 11 can create a library from all the media les
available to it on your PC. To add new media files to the library,
select ‘File > Add to Library… > Advanced Options’, click ‘Add’ and
choose the les you wish to add and click ‘OK’.
