11: Preparing a computer
to use as a server

A server is a device which delivers content
(music and photos) to a DLNA device 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 server function.

* If you use a Windows 7-based computer, use

Windows Media

®

Player 12 bundled with

Windows 7.
If you use a Windows 8-based computer, the new
UI system may not be able to recognize the
receiver. If this occurs, switch the setting to
“Desktop UI.”
