Music Player

Keep network connected

By default, your radio will shut down its WiFi or Ethernet connection when

it is in standby. This minimises power consumption but it does mean that

you will need to switch the radio on manually in order to use either the

'Play to' function or any other remote control software.

If you need to be able to remotely control the radio even when it has been

put into standby, then you can choose to keep the network connected by

using the 'Keep connected' option in the network settings menu. In the

standby mode display either the WiFi signal indicator is shown with or

without a cross through it, or the Ethernet connection is shown unplugged

or plugged in according to the chosen network settings.

Windows 7 'Play to' function (UPnP renderer)

If you use Windows 7, it is possible to choose a music album, track or

playlist at the computer and then tell Windows that this should be played

on the radio using the 'Play to' function.

Using suitable software (sometimes known as a UPnP Control Point),

similar functionality is available for other computer types and for handheld

devices using Apple's iOS or Android operating systems. In this mode the

radio acts as a UPnP Renderer.

1. In order to use the 'Play to' function, the radio must be actively connected

to the network. The ﬁ rst time that you use the 'Play to' function you

will need to allow Windows to recognise your radio. To do this, please

go to step 2.

If you have previously used 'Play to' so that Windows remembers

your radio and you have conﬁ gured your radio to keep its network

connection in standby mode (see 'Keep network connected', at left),

then go to step 3.

2. If your radio is not currently running, or does not have an active

connection to your network, then you should ﬁ rst switch on your

radio and select the Music player mode using the Mode button. Then

select 'Shared media' from the menu so that the radio establishes a

connection with Windows Media Player on your PC. After this step,

all other functions may be performed from your computer.

3. At your Windows 7 PC, locate the ﬁ le, album or playlist that you wish

to play on the radio.

4. Use the right-hand mouse button to pop-up a menu of options for the

chosen item and select the 'Play to' option.

5. Windows should show you one or more devices, including your radio,

to which you may choose to send the music. Highlight the radio item

and click with the left mouse button.
