Listening to USB stick or SD memory card sources:
To listen to sources from USB Memory Stick, SD memory card and optional hard drive, the basic
operation is almost exactly the same. After highlighting Media Centre and selecting by pressing the
main dial, instead of selecting Windoes Shares, simply highlight Local Media which includes
searching bith SD and USB slots for media. After file scanning the remaining operation is exactly the
same as with using the Windows Share facility.
Please note:
Windows Shares
cannot stream uncompressed audio files for Hi-Fi sound quality sound.
If you have uncompressed audio files, you can only play it via UPnP option under Windows Shares
option, or using good quality USB memory stick or SD memory card. This is important as not all
memory sticks or SD card can handle the very bit rate that uncompressed files demands and you may
experience interrupted playback.
For more information on UPnP set up please refer to the UPnP section later in the manual.
