Playback from a Home Network

The BDT-101CI can remotely play back music, photo, and video files stored on computers or NAS
(Network Attached Storage) devices that are connected to the same home network. The computer or
NAS need to run server software that supports media sharing protocols such as DLNA, SMB/CIFS or
NFS. To play media files shared on your home network, press the HOME button on the remote to bring
the Home Menu, select the Network icon and press the ENTER button to show the list of available
servers.
The BDT-101CI player can play media files on the home network in one of the following three ways:

As a digital media player (DMP): the player can actively search, access and pull content from
local media servers which supports DLNA.

As a digital media renderer (DMR): the player plays content received ("pushed") from a digital
media controller (DMC). A DMC-capable media server is required. Refer to the server's
respective user instructions for correct configuration and operation.

As a SMB/CIFS/NFS client: the player can directly access files shared through SMB/CIFS/NFS
servers over the network, as if accessing an external USB hard drive. Most computers,
especially those installed with Windows, already support SMB clients. Please refer to respective
OS instructions to set up the SMB/CIFS/NFS shared file/folder.
NOTE
 NAS is a networked appliance that provides file-based data storage services to other devices
on the network. Commercial products are available on the market.
 SMB (Server Message Block) or CIFS (Common Internet File System) is mostly known as
Microsoft Windows Network. It does not require an extra media server or perform any media
format transcoding, which reduces the processing load and keeps the original content quality.
 Compatibility with local network sharing hardware/software is on a best effort basis with no
guarantee, due variations in NAS devices, media servers and their configurations. OPPO
