If the DLNA devices you have are all fully compliant with the
DLNA standard, there would be in general four methods you
can implement by means of DLNA as follows:
• Device A accesses and plays the media content out of de-
vice B.
• Device A commands device B to play its own media con-
tent.
• Device A commands device B to access and play the me-
dia content out of device A itself.
• Device A commands device B to access and play the me-
dia content out of device C.
Before going further, you had better set some of the folders in
the digital reciever's hard drive to be shared so that they can
be accessed and played by other DLNA devices. Select the File
Manager menu and go through the submenus until the folder
list appears. Set the folders you want to share to Share.
How to instruct the digital receiver to play back media content
out of other DLNA devices is very easy as follows:
1. Select the Share Device List menu, then the list of all
available DLNA devices gets displayed.
2. Select a DLNA device whose media content you want to
play, then the list of media files of the selected device gets
displayed.

Select the
Home Media menu, then you
should see a screen like the
left figure. The name, [DLNA]
Topfield PVR, specified at the
DMS Name option is used as an
identifier for other DLNA de-
vices. Of course you can change
that name as you pleased.
