11: Preparing a computer
to use as a server
A server is a device which delivers content
(music, photos, and videos) to a DLNA device
on a home network.
You can play back content stored on a
computer on a home network with this receiver
via that network after you have installed
application software* which has a DLNA
compliant server function.
* If you use a Windows 7-based computer, use
®
Windows Media Player 12 bundled with
Windows 7.
If you use a Windows 8-based computer, the new
UI system may not be able to recognize the
receiver. If this occurs, switch the setting to
"Desktop UI."
