Setting up Music Player (1)
About the Music Player function
Using the Music Player function, you can play back the
music files in your computers through the LAN.
There are two ways of connecting to the computer:
using media sharing and using file sharing.
Media sharing
Media sharing allows this unit to play back a shared
media library on the computer, as well as browsing
the tracks using tag items such as artist names, genres
and album names.
You need a PC running on Windows XP or Windows
Vista, and Windows Media Player 10 or later on it.
File sharing
To use file sharing method, you need to configure your
music files open to access, so that other computers or
CR-H500NT can read those files.
This method is available both on Windows and on
Mac.
