UPnP CLIENT
The C446 utilizes a UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) client to allow playback of audio files wherever music is stored in a home network such as a computer, NAS
(network-attached storage), Apple iOS device or Android phone.
The C 446 browses your UPnP server audio content over the local network. It includes MP3, FLAC, WMA, WAV, and AAC codecs. The computer, NAS or mobile devices
on the network are all potential servers. In order to use them as such, they each need to be set up to act as a UPnP server.
Windows 7 has a built-in UPnP server. To enable it and other related information, visit the following websites:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Getting-started-with-media-streaming
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Stream-your-media-to-devices-and-computers-using-Windows-Media-Player
For other Windows versions, Linux or Mac computers, server software such as “Twonky Server” can be downloaded and installed. Visit twonky.com for more
information.
