Playback from Source function
About Source function
This player’s
Source
function allows you to display a list
of input sources and start playback. This chapter
describes setup and playback procedures required to
enjoy these features. When you play the files stored on
your computer or the components on the network, it is
advisory that you also refer to the operation manual
supplied with your network component.
The input sources that can be played from
Source
function are as shown below.
• BD-R/RE (BDAV format) discs
• DVD-R/RW (VR format) discs
• Audio CDs (CD-DA, SACD and DTS CDs)
• DVD/CDs on which only data files of video, image or
audio files, etc. are recorded.
• USB device
• Files on the network servers (on the PCs or
components connected to the player via LAN
interface.)
Note
• The
Source
function allows you to play files on
media servers connected on an identical Local Area
Network (LAN) as the receiver.
• The following files are allowed to be played from
Source
function:
– 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 by Digital Media
Player (DMP). The player supports the use of such
DMP.
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 player supports this
DMR function. When in the DMR mode, such
operations as playing and stopping files can be
performed from the external controller.
• To play back audio files stored on components on
the network, 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 files stored on
components on the network. See “Setting the IP
address” on page 43.
