to act as your UPnP media server. WMP11 can be downloaded and installed from the
Microsoft website.

add new media files to the library, select ’File > Add to Library…> Advanced Options’, click
‘Add’ and choose the files you wish to add and click’ OK’.
3. You will now need to connect your Internet radio to WMP11 and configure it to allow the radio
to access your media library. In order to this , you will need to do the following:
a. Keep pressing BACK to get to the top-level menu and then rotate the dial to select
‘Media Player’.
b. Press SELECT and then rotate the dial to highlight ‘UPnP Servers’.
c. Press SELECT and the radio will scan for all available UPnP servers.
Note: This may take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan. While the scan is being
performed, the radio will display ‘[Empty]’. The radio will continue to display ‘[Empty]’ if no UPnP
servers can be found.
d. After a successful scan. Select your UPnP server by rotating the dial and then press
SELECT.
4. Your PC will now prompt you that a device has attempted to connect to your UPnP server. In
