Registering your NP30 with the
UuVol
portal
on
the web
To
access extra features
on
your NP30 such as linking premium streaming
services
to
your NP30, adding non-UuVol internet radio stations
or
simply
editing, copying, re-ordering or deleting presets first you will need to set up a
free account with
UuVol.
Open www.UuVol.com from an Internet browser. Click
on
the 'Register' link
and follow the on-screen instructions to set up an account and to link your
NP30 to this
new
account
by
entering your NP30s seven digit registration code,
which can be found
in
the 'Settings > Register' menu
of
the NP30 itself.
After creating and logging into your new account, you can now add, remove or
re-order presets on your NP30 from the 'Presets' tab.
There is also an enhanced internet radio station search facility, allowing
you
to search for stations
by
minimum bit rate, etc and also the facility
to
add non-
UuVol
internet radio stations as presets
if
you
know the station's
URL.
To
add
further
NP30s
to
your existing
UuVol
account (perhaps you want a
second or third NP30 in a different room) then this can
be
done
by
accessing
the "Players' tab
in
UuVol
and clicking on the 'Add a player' link.
You
can then choose to copy all or some
of
the existing presets from your
current NP30 to the new one.
This
is
a unique code generated
by
the unit during the registration process.
Note the
key
lasts for about
10
minutes, if
you
don't
use it
in
that
time
you
will
need to exit and re-enter this menu to get a new
key
.
Your NP30 is now registered and
you
can use the portal
to
manage your
presets, Podcasts and more.
You
can also suggest new stations to us, setup
3rd party Streaming Services and view information from us on
new
products.
Note:
You
can register as many products as
you
like and manage the presets
etc. across several products which could
be
in
different parts of the world all
seamlessly from your
UuVol
portal.

Your
N P30 can connect with Computers or Network Attached Storage devices
that
feature a Universal Plug and
Play
(UPnP)
AV
Server.
When using a
UPnP
server to share your media, the search and selection
criteria are determined
by
the server and not the NP30, but typically include
Album, Artist and additional options such as Genre.
As
long as the NP30
is
correctly configured for your Network
it
will
automatically discover and connect to
UPnP
servers
it
finds when
you
go
into
the
UPnP
playback menu. It will then allow navigation of the menu structure
coming from
that
server.
There are many suitable
UPnP
server software packages available for
PC
and
Mac. Stand-alone servers and Network Attached Storage
(NAS)
devices with
built
in
UPnP
server capabilities are also available. Please see the set-up
guides on our website
at
http:/
;support
.cambridgeaudio.com;.
Once
you
have setup a suitable server, navigate to the Media/UPnP Servers
menu within the NP30 and press Select.
The NP30 will perform a scan of your network and report any
UPnP
Servers it
finds. If none are found it will display "No Servers Found"
on
the display. If a
server or servers are found their names will be displayed and
you
can select
which one you'd like to get content from.
Select the server
you
want and the NP30 will then load the appropriate menu
structure from
that
sever. These typically allow
you
browse your content
by
Album, Artist, Genre etc. It is important to understand
that
the menu structure
here is coming from the Server not the NP30.
You
can now browse and select any music content in a format the NP30
supports (currently
AAC,
MP3,
WMA,
AIFF,
FLAC,
WAV
and
Ogg
Vorbis).
Note not all servers support serving of all these formats.
Always
make sure the
server
you
choose also supports your formats
of
choice.
