ACCESSING AND PLAYING “MY MUSIC”

“My Music” is the music found on your home network music servers. A music server can be a personal 

computer (PC or Mac), a DLNA enabled Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, or other devices. 

For more information about music servers, see page 21.

1)

  From the “

IM-NET Home

” menu, select [ 

My Music

 ]. See 

“Navigating the IM-NET” on page 5.  

2)

  The “

My Music

” menu lists available music servers. See 

“Managing My Music” on page 14. Select the desired digital 

music server. 

3)

  The menus used to navigate music servers will vary because music 

servers can be managed in different ways. See “Managing My 

Music” on page 14. Depending on the music server, you may have 

several music search categories such as [ 

Artist

 ], [ 

Album

],  

Song

 ], [ 

Genre

 ], and [ 

Playlist

*]. Select a search category.

NOTE: Your ICS system does not display the photos or videos that 

may be stored on a music server. 

4)

  Select [ 

ABC’s

 ], if available, to display the “

Search

” screen. 

Enter up to 10 letters, then select [ 

Enter

 ] to search for selections 

beginning with those letters. Some categories and/or servers may 

not support search. Select the song you wish to play. If there are 

additional songs in the song list they will play after your selection. 

Note that the search function only works with lists that are in 

alphabetical order and that use standard latin characters. 

5)

  From the “

Now Playing

” screen, select [  

||

 ] to pause the music. 

Select [  

||

 ] again to resume play. (Some servers may not support 

the pause feature).

6)

 Options

 ].  

Shuffle On

 ] plays the selections in random order.  

Repeat On

 ] repeats the selection. 

NOTE: When a single music selection is played, selecting  

Repeat On

is played, [ 

Repeat On

 ] repeats the entire album or playlist.
