Browsing Network Folder Shares
The player has the ability to browse and play media files from folder and file shares on the local
area network, such as Windows PCs, NAS devices, or Linux computers with SAMBA server
installed. Streaming from Mac OS X 10.7 or later is not supported. Setup and configuration of
folder shares on different computing platforms is beyond the scope of this manual; please refer
to Internet tutorials appropriate for each platform.
To browse for media files in shared folders on the local area network, elect “Network” from the
file browser device list. On the next screen, select WORKGROUP and a list of available host
names will be shown. Select one of the host names and all available folder shares from that
host will be displayed. If the host
requires a username and password for
accessing a folder share, a login box
will be displayed.
Once the shared folder has been
opened, browsing for media files works
the same as browsing on storage
devices attached to the player. The
same view modes of Thumbnail, List,
and Preview are available.

Using Network Shortcuts
Some computers or devices do not have a host name or is not a part of the WORKGROUP
network. Shortcuts allow accessing these devices through their IP addresses.
To setup and use network shortcuts, select “Network” from the file browser and select
“My_Shortcuts” on the next screen. Press the
GREEN
button on the remote control to bring up
the shortcuts menu and select “Add”.
Next enter the username, password,
and IP address of the host. If a
username and password is not needed,
leave these fields blank. Select “OK”
after entering the above information and
the shortcut will be created. Shortcuts
can be modified or deleted by pressing
the
GREEN
button on the remote to
bring up the shortcuts menu.
