Introduction

You can play back video, audio and still picture files 
stored on your computer by setting up the network 
with the computer and the main unit.

 

You must install CyberLink Media Server from th
bundled CD-ROM to your computer.

CyberLink Media Server is a software for sending 
video, audio and still picture files stored on your 
computer to the main unit.

The network can be easily set up without having to 
manually configure the IP address of the main unit by 
simply connecting a router with a DHCP function to 
the main unit. The DHCP function of the router 
automatically assigns the IP address to the main unit.

NOTE

• If the router does not have a DHCP function or you 

do not use the DHCP function, you must assign the 
IP address to the main unit manually.

• You can also use the network function by 

connecting the main unit to the computer directly. 
(Refer to page 21.) 

You can play back the following file types using the 
network function of this system.

• File may not be played back properly or the 

playback function may be limited to the files even 
though the type of playing back file is shown above. 
Depending on the performance of the server and 
network environment, image frames may drop and 
sound may skip while playing back the file.

• If the source is changed to Network from the other 

type of source while the disc tray is open, it closes 
automatically.
