About playable DLNA network devices

This unit allows you to play music on media servers connected

on an identical Local Area Network (LAN) as the receiver. This

unit allows for the playing of files stored on the following

devices:

Computer running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with

Windows Media Player 11 installed

Computer running Microsoft Windows 7, 8 with Windows

Media Player 12 installed

DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on Computer or

other components)

Files stored in a Computer or DMS (Digital Media Server) as

described above can be played via command from an external

Digital Media Controller (DMC). Devices controlled by this

DMC to play files are called DMRs (Digital Media Renderers).

This receiver supports this DMR function. When in the DMR

mode, such operations as playing and stopping files can be

performed from the external controller. Volume adjustment

and the muting control are also possible.

Depending on the external controller being used, playback

may be interrupted when the volume is adjusted from the

controller. In this case, adjust the volume from the receiver

or remote control.

About the DHCP server function

To play back audio files stored on components on the network

or listen to Internet radio stations, you must turn on the DHCP

server function of your router. In case your router does not

have the built-in DHCP server function, it is necessary to set

up the network manually. Otherwise, you cannot play back

audio files stored on components on the network or listen to

Internet radio stations. See

The Network Setup menu on

page 45

for more on this.

This receiver must be authorized to enable playback. This

happens automatically when the receiver makes a connection

over the network to the PC. If not, please authorize this

receiver manually on the PC. The authorization (or

permission) method for access varies depending on the type

of server currently being connected. For more information on

authorizing this receiver, refer to the instruction manual of

your server.
