Enjoying the Home Media
Gallery
This unit's Home Media Gallery function allows
you to listen to audio files or listen to Internet
radio stations on a computer or other
component connected to this unit's LAN
terminal. This chapter describes the
connection, 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.
Important
• 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 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)
Note
1 Depending on the external controller used, playback may be interrupted when the controller is used to adjust the sound
volume. In this event, perform sound volume adjustments from the main unit or the remote control unit.
- 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).
The device used to play files under the
control of the DMC is called a Digital
Media Renderer (DMR*). The XW-NAC3
unit supports the use of such DMR
components. When selecting a DMC or
DMS, use only those that have received
DLNA certification.
*: DMR is a device class certified by
DLNA.
- During use of a DMR, an external
controller can be used to start and stop
playback of files. Control of sound
volume and the MUTE function are also
1
possible .
- When a DMR is in use, if the XW-NAC3's
remote control is operated, DMR
operation will be canceled (this excludes
the use of certain buttons including
VOLUME, MUTE, and DISPLAY).
• 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 page 28.
