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
unit. This unit allows you to play files stored on the following
devices:
• PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP Service
Pack 3 with Windows Media Player 11 installed
• PCs running Microsoft Windows 7 with Windows Media
Player 12 installed
• DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on computers
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 unit supports this DMR function.
When this unit is selected as a DMR and DMS playback is
begun, the unit’s input automatically switches to DMR. 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.
Important
• You cannot access a computer on a network while you
are logged onto a domain that is configured in a
Windows network environment. Instead of logging onto
the domain, log onto the local machine.
• There are cases where the time elapsed may not be
correctly displayed.
Note
• 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 unit or remote control.
