Access and play the pictures, audio and video

files from a computer or media server on the

home network through your home theater.

application on your device. Make sure that

you download an application that works

best for you. For example,

• Windows Media Player 11 or higher

for PC

• Twonky Media Server for Mac or PC

• Enable media sharing of files. For ease of

use, we have included the steps for the

following applications:

Windows Media Player 11 (see

Windows Media Player 12 (see

'Microsoft Windows Media Player 12'

on page 37)

media servers, check the user manual of the media

server software software.

Set up media server software

To enable media sharing, set up the media

server software.
Before you start

• Connect your home theater to a home

network. For better video quality, use wired

connection whenever possible.

• Connect the computer and other DLNA-

compatible devices to the same home

network.

• Make sure that your PC firewall allows

you to run Media Player programs (or

the firewall’s exemption list has the media

server software included).

• Switch on your computer and the router.
