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 the
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.
