NOTE
For playback from a network device, the network

(UPnP) service, such as Windows Media Player 11™.
This can be downloaded free of charge from
www.microsoft.com or installed via the Windows
update installer. Windows 7™ and Vista™ have
this functionality built in. Windows Media Player
requires music library sharing/streaming to be
enabled in order to serve music to the Receiver.
Other free and paid-for UPnP services are available
for other computer operating systems. Some
network attached storage (NAS) systems include a
built-in version of a UPnP service.

podcasts. To set up this service for your Receiver, please

There, you will be asked to enter the Media Access
Controller (MAC) address which is the unique ID of
your Receiver. This MAC address can be found in the
network section of the setup menu.
Once you have entered the MAC address, you can then
browse stations and podcasts and set up groups of
favourite stations. When you next connect your Receiver
to the internet, these groups will appear in the 'My
favourites' folder.
