This unit can play audio files stored on PCs or other
components on a Local Area Network (LAN).

Introduction

This unit allows you to listen to audio files or listen to Internet
radio stations on a computer or other component connected
to the unit via LAN interface. This chapter describes the setup
and playback procedures required to enjoy these features. It
is advisory that you also refer to the operation manual
supplied with your network component.
• Photo or video files cannot be played back.
• With Windows Media Player 11 or Windows Media
Player 12, you can even play back copyrighted audio files
on this unit.

About playable DLNA network devices

This unit allows you to play music on media servers
connected on an identical Local Area Network (LAN) as the
unit. This unit allows you to play files stored on the following
devices:
• PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with
Windows Media Player 11 installed
• 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 via command from an external
Digital Media Controller (DMC). Devices controlled by this
DMC to play files are called DMRs (Digital Media Renderers).
This unit supports this DMR function. When in the DMR
mode, such operations as playing and stopping files can be
performed from the external controller. Volume adjustment
and the muting control are also possible. The DMR mode is
canceled if the remote control unit is operated while in the
DMR mode (aside from certain buttons, including the
VOLUME +/–, MUTE and DISP OFF).
• Depending on the external controller being used,
playback may be interrupted when the volume is
adjusted from the controller. In this case, adjust the
volume from the unit or remote control.

This unit supports AirPlay audio streaming from iPod touch
(2nd, 3rd and 4th generations), iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad

About the DHCP server function

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 audio files stored on
components on the network or listen to Internet radio
stations. See Network setting on page 30 for more on this.

This unit must be authorized to enable playback. The unit is
automatically authorized when it is connected to a PC over a
network. If not, please authorize this unit manually on the PC.
The authorization (or permission) method for access varies
depending on the type of server currently being connected.
For more information on authorizing this unit, refer to the
