About Files on the Network

The input sources that can be played from
Media Server are as shown below.
• Files on the network servers (on the
computers or components connected to the
unit via LAN interface.)
Note
• The Media Server allows you to play files on media
servers connected to the same Local Area Network
(LAN) as the unit.
• The following files are allowed to be played from
Media Server:
3
– Computers running Microsoft Windows Vista or
XP with Windows Media Player 11 installed
– Computers running Microsoft Windows 7 with
Windows Media Player 12 installed
– DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on
computers or other components)
Files stored in a computer or DMS (Digital Media
Server) as described above can be played by Digital
Media Player (DMP). The unit supports the use of
such DMP .
• 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 unit supports this DMR function. The user-
friendly name of the unit is SBX-N500/N700. 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 page 50.
