Using a controller
You can do the following using a device which has a control function on the home network.
– Playing back content stored on the server with the receiver
– Operating the receiver using Windows 7-based computer with Windows Media Player 12
Note
Before you operate the receiver using a controller, you have to set the controller you want to use to match the
receiver. Set “External Control” to “ON,” then set “Controllers” in the Network settings menu. For details on
settings for controllers, see “Controllers” (page 122).
You can enjoy, or check the status of content (music, photos, and videos) on the server using a

The following operations are supported.
• Playback, stop, pause, fast-forward and fast-reverse of content
• Go to the next/previous content item
• Checking the elapsed time of the currently playing content
Notes
• Some operations may not be performed, depending on the device used as a controller. For details, refer to the
