The media player (DLNA)
Your new MHF-900 Solo is DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certified. This means you can access, accor-
ding to the DLNA standard, the respective music sources in your home network.
If you have connected your MHF-900 Solo to your router and the router has a USB port, you can access its NAS
(Network Attached Storage) functionality.
Just connect a standard USB hard drive to your router and enable NAS functionality in its configuration or
connect a NAS drive to your network. In case of problems, or if you need further information on the NAS func-
tionality of your router, please consult the router’s manual for help.
You can play the desired tracks or folders on this hard drive or NAS drive,. This is just the best way to install a
uniform DLNA media server for all of your household devices.
Now, press the key „Media / USB“ on the remote control to activate the media player. Select „Shared Media“
from the displayed menu to view a list of all media-server suitable devices on your network. Choose your
installed media server and then select the option „Music“.
The contents of your hard drive will be pre-sorted displayed according to various criteria, for example,
„Artists“, „Albums“, „All Songs“, „Genres“, or „Order“. The quality of this sorting is directly related to the quality
of the recorded data on the hard disk; should the MP3 tags be missing, the songs will not be pre-sorted well.
Within the list, you can navigate with the help of the arrow keys on your remote control, press “Enter” to
choose and play the desired tracks or folders.
To create your own play list on the MHF-900 Solo you press the key „Enter“ on the
remote control. This current track will be added to your play list.
The media player function is capable of reading out additional stored songs information. E.g. read MP3 tags.
By pressing the „Info“ key on your remote control once or several times, you can retrieve this information
depending on the file.
The DLNA media player reads MP3, WMA and FLAC files up to a maximum
stream size of 1.5 MBit / s.
Other file formats when streaming can be converted from many routers with NAS functionality directly on the
MHF-900 Solo format.
Please also read the operating instructions for your router.
