same home network with it. You have to prepare a set of hardware like a computer (network attached storage)
server connected to the same network segment as the player. Install and configure software which is functionally
equivalent to NFS, DLNA or SAMBA/CIFS (a protocol for sharing network documents) client. In the setting
