Playback from Home Media Gallery

About Home Media
Gallery
This player's Home Media Gallery function allows you to
display a list of input sources and start playback. This
chapter describes setup and playback procedures
required to enjoy these features. When you play the files
stored on your computer or the components on the
network, it is advisory that you also refer to the operation
manual supplied with your network component.
The input sources that can be played from Home Media
Gallery are as shown below.
• BD-R/RE (BDAV format) discs
• DVD-R/RW (VR format) discs
• Audio CDs (CD-DA, SACD and DTS CDs)
• DVD/CDs on which only data files of video, image or
audio files, etc. are recorded.
• USB device
• Files on the network servers (on the PCs or
components connected to the player via LAN
interface.)
Note
• The Home Media Gallery allows you to play files on
media servers connected on an identical Local Area
Network (LAN) as the receiver.
• The following files are allowed to be played from
Home Media Gallery:
– PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with
Windows Media Player 11 installed

Files stored in a PC or DMS (Digital Media Server) as
described above can be played by Digital Media
Player (DMP). The player supports the use of such
DMP.
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 player supports this
DMR function. When in the DMR mode, such
operations as playing and stopping files can be
performed from the external controller.
• 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 files stored on components on the network. See
"Setting the IP address" on page 38.
