Repeat & Shuffle
You can repeat tracks or play them in random order by pressing and holding the Menu knob >
Repeat play Off/On or > Shuffle play Off/On. Shuffle Play is limited to a maximum of 500 music
files. Shuffle mode cannot independently jump in and out of other folders during playback. Only
tracks within a given folder will shuffle.
Now playing information
While a track is playing, the screen shows its track and artist
(UPnP) or file name (USB). There is also a progress bar with
figures for elapsed and total track time. At the bottom of the
screen, an icon indicates UPnP or USB depending on the source.
To view further information, press the remote’s Info key.
Each time you press Info , another set of information is displayed, cycling through:
• UPnP: playback progress bar (default), artist, album, codec/sampling rate, playback
buffer bar, today’s date
• USB: playback progress bar (default), artist, album, folder, full file path, bit
rate/codec type/sampling rate, playback buffer bar, today’s date
Setting up a music server
In order to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or media.
UPnP media sharing allows the unit to play music from a shared media library, navigating through
tag menus such as Artist, Album, or Genre. If you are running a suitable server system such as a
PC with Windows Media Player (WMP) 10 or later, and your music library is well-tagged, then it is
recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server needs to be set up. See the next
Section.
Note: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-on Apps
available to work with an iTunes library.
Note: The Music player mode can be saved as a Preset, but it is not possible to save the
USB input or Shared media (computer music files) as a Preset, or to set the alarm to wake
to those sources.
Album artwork when streaming music via UPnP/DLNA:
The display's resolution is 320(H) x 240(V) pixels. The incoming picture resolution will be checked and
scaling may be applied or it may not be reproduced at all. 240 x 240 album art should reproduce fine.
For 300 x 300 album art, scale-down is applied and some pixels won't be reproduced and some
lines/curves in the artwork will appear distorted.
Sharing media with Windows Media Player
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later). Alternatively, other UPnP
platforms and servers may be used. To set up WMP for media sharing, perform the following steps:
