Music server
This unit can play audio files stored on PCs or other
components on a Local Area Network (LAN).

Introduction

This unit allows you to listen to audio files on a computer or
other component connected to the unit via LAN interface.
This chapter describes the 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.

About playable DLNA network devices

This unit allows you to play music on media servers
connected on an identical Local Area Network (LAN) as the
unit. This unit allows you to play files stored on the following
devices:
• 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)
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 unit supports this DMR function.
When this unit is selected as a DMR and DMS playback is
begun, the unit's input automatically switches to DMR.
During DMR input, the currently playing track name, artist
name, album name, and album art will appear on the unit's
main display (some information may not be displayed,
depending on the file being played).
When in the DMR mode, such operations as playing and
stopping files can be performed from the external controller.
Volume adjustment and the muting control are also possible.
If the FUNCTION / buttons are pressed during DMR
playback, the DMR playback will stop and the unit will revert
to the input function selected prior to DMR playback.
• Depending on the external controller being used,
playback may be interrupted when the volume is
adjusted from the controller. In this case, adjust the
volume from the unit or remote control.
Note

About the DHCP server function

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 audio files stored on
components on the network or listen to Internet radio
stations. See Network setting on page 36 for more on this.
