The manner in which the UPnP™

server is set up will define how

the audio files and playlists it

holds are listed and displayed. In

most cases the default setup will

list and display files by artist and

album, but list by genre and predefined playlists may also

be available.

Note: Playlists cannot be generated or stored locally by

UnitiQute 2. To play a playlist it must reside on the UPnP™

server.

Selecting one of the playlist

categories using the up (5),

down (6) and ok/list keys

will display a menu showing

items that fall into the selected

category. An entire category

can be selected for playback

by using the up (5), down (6) keys followed by the play/

pause ( ) key.

Alternatively, selecting a category using the up (5), down

(6) keys followed by the ok/list key will display the full list

of tracks contained within the category. Tracks can then

be selected for playback by using the up (5), down (6)

and ok/list keys.

In long lists the handset numeric/text keys can be used to

jump through the list alphabetically.

Once playback is underway the UnitiQute 2 display will

exit from list mode and revert to normal mode where

the handset transport keys ( ) can be used

to control playback. To re-enter list mode for further list

browsing and selecting press the handset ok/list key.

During playback, pressing the handset info ( ) key will

sequentially display the server name, buffer level, track

elapsed time and stream (audio file) information.

Note: Buffer level indicates the quantity of stored data

within UnitiQute 2 and reflects the ability of the network to

provide data at the necessary rate.

UnitiQute 2 UPnP™ Audio Interface

7 UnitiQute 2 UPnP™ Audio Interface

In addition to providing the network connection required for internet radio playback, the

UnitiQute 2 network interface enables audio files stored on UPnP™ servers to be streamed

and played. UnitiQute 2 must be connected, either wirelessly or via Ethernet cabling, to a

network router. If the router provides an internet connection it should incorporate a firewall.

If UnitiQute 2 is already connected to a network, begin by selecting the UPnP™ input.

7.1 UPnP™ Servers

UPnP™ servers incorporate a software application that

allows UnitiQute 2, or any other UPnP™ compatible player,

to play audio stored and streamed by another device

on the network. The UPnP™ server is usually a PC or Mac

home computer, although some Network Attached

Storage (NAS) drives incorporate a UPnP™ application.

Note: The Naim UnitiServe and HDX hard disk music players

can operate as UPnP™ servers.

Windows Media™ Player version 11 or above incorporates

built in UPnP™ support and a variety of third party UPnP™

applications are also available that are compatible with

both Windows and Macintosh operating systems.

In the case of the Windows UPnP™ server the following

steps must be taken before music can be streamed to

UnitiQute 2:

•EnsureWindowsMedia™Playerversion11oraboveis 

installed.

•EnableWindowsMedia™Playerfilesharing.Fromthe 

Media Player Options dialogue select Library > Configure

Sharing… then select Share my media.

•Ensurethefirewallisconfiguredtoallowfilesharing.

7.2 Audio File Compatibility

The audio files stored on the UPnP™ servers attached to

the network may be in MP3, M4A, AAC, LPCM16/24, FLAC,

WMA, WAV, AIFF or Ogg Vorbis formats. Files must be free of

any digital rights management playback restrictions such

as the Apple iTunes FairPlay system.

7.3 Scanning Servers and Playing Files

When the UnitiQute 2 UPnP™

input is selected a list of available

UPnP™ servers on the network

will be displayed. The display will

automatically enter list mode so

the handset up (5), down (6

)and ok/list keys can be used to browse and select the

desired server.

Note: Allegro Media Server

(shown in the illustrations) is a

UPnP™ Media Server application

that runs on Apple or Windows

PCs and provides access to

media files and iTunes library

contents from UPnP™ media players such as UnitiQute 2.
