About playable DLNA network devices
This unit allows you to play music on media servers connected
on an identical Local Area Network (LAN) as the receiver. This
unit allows for the playing of files stored on the following
devices:
•
PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with Windows
Media Player 11 installed
•
PCs running Microsoft Windows 7 with Windows Media
Player 12 installed
•
DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on PCs or other
components)
Files stored in a PC or DMS (Digital Media Server) as
described above can be played via command from an external
Digital Media Controller (DMC). Devices controlled by this
DMC to play files are called DMRs (Digital Media Renderers).
This receiver supports this DMR function. When in the DMR
mode, such operations as playing and stopping files can be
performed from the external controller. Volume adjustment
and the muting control are also possible.
•
Depending on the external controller being used, playback
may be interrupted when the volume is adjusted from the
controller. In this case, adjust the volume from the receiver
or remote control.

iTunes

About the DHCP server function
To play back audio files stored on components on the network
or listen to Internet radio stations, you must turn on the DHCP
server function of your router. In case your router does not
have the built-in DHCP server function, it is necessary to set
up the network manually. Otherwise, you cannot play back
audio files stored on components on the network or listen to
Internet radio stations. See
The Network Setup menu
on
page 42
for more on this.
Authorizing this receiver
This receiver must be authorized to enable playback. This
happens automatically when the receiver makes a connection
over the network to the PC. If not, please authorize this
receiver manually on the PC. The authorization (or
permission) method for access varies depending on the type
of server currently being connected. For more information on
authorizing this receiver, refer to the instruction manual of
your server.
