Playing Audio Files via Network Audio or USB
The network audio client on the Concert AVR-6 / AVR-8 is capable of
supporting the following file formats:
- MP3
- WMA (Windows Media Audio)
- WAV
- FLAC (Free Lossless Audio CODEC)
- MPEG-4 AAC (iTunes with DRM10 support)
- Ogg Vorbis
Network devices must also be running a universal plug and play (uPnP)
service such as Windows Media Player. This feature is standard with Win-
dows 7 or it can be downloaded free of charge from www.microsoft.com.
While each device may operate differently, here are some basic commands
to follow:
1) With the Concert AVR-6 / AVR-8 in “Standby”, make all of the Ether-
net network and/or USB connections and then take the unit out of “Stand-
by”.
2) Using the front panel source selection controls, select Network Audio
“NET” as a source. A “Home Page” page will appear on your display device
and show all available storage devices.
3) Navigate through these using the arrow keys on the front panel of your
Concert AVR-6 / AVR-8 or using an optional infrared (IR) remote control.
Folders displaying a musical note symbol (
e
) have playable files in them.
4) Select the file/track you wish to play and press the OK or “>” key.
Pressing the “Select” button will also serve to pause the track. Pressing and
holding “Select” button for two seconds will stop playback.
