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 receiver. This
unit allows for the playing of files stored on the following
devices:
• Computer running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with
Windows Media Player 11 installed
• Computer running Microsoft Windows 7 with Windows
Media Player 12 installed
• DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on Computer or
and Listening
other components)
Files stored in a Computer 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 receiver 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.
• Depending on the external controller being used, playback
may be interrupted when the volume is adjusted from the
and Playing
controller. In this case, adjust the volume from the receiver
or remote control.

About the DHCP server function

To play back audio files stored on components on the network

up the network manually. Otherwise, you cannot play back
audio files stored on components on the network or listen to
Internet radio stations. See
