Introduction
About playable DLNA network
devices
The Home Media Gallery allows you to play
music on media servers connected on an identi-
cal Local Area Network (LAN) as the receiver.
This unit allows for the playing of files stored on
the following:
! PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP
with Windows Media Player 11 installed
! PCs running Microsoft Windows 7 with
Windows Media Player 12 installed
! DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on
PCs or other components)
Files stored in a PC 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. The DMR mode is canceled
if the remote control unit is operated while in
the DMR mode (aside from certain buttons,
including the MASTER VOLUME +/–, MUTE
and DISP).
! 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.
