on a home network.
You can play back content stored on a
computer on a home network with this receiver
via that network after you have installed
application software* which has a DLNA
compliant sever function.

Windows Media Player 12 bundled with
Windows 7.
If you use a Windows XP or Windows Vista-based
computer, install the VAIO Media plus application
software supplied with the receiver. See below for
more details on VAIO Media plus. In addition,
