Playback with Home Media Gallery
Introduction
The Home Media Gallery allows you to play music on
media servers connected on an identical Local Area
Network (LAN) as the receiver. This unit allows for the
playing of files stored on the following:
· PCs running Microsoft Windows XP with Windows
Media Connect installed
· PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with
Windows Media Player 11 installed
· DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on PCs or
other components)
To play back audio files stored on components on the
network or listen to Internet radio stations, 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 audio files stored on components
on the network or listen to Internet radio stations. See
Setting up the network
on page 10 for more on this.
