Content playable over a network

Even when encoded in a compatible format, some files may not play correctly. See File compatibility on page 9. Some functions may not be supported depending on the server type or version used.

Supported file formats vary by server. As such, files not supported by your server are not displayed on this unit.

For more information check with the manufacturer of your server.

About playback behavior over a network

Playback may stall when the PC is switched off or any media files stored on it are deleted while playing content.

If there are problems within the network environment (heavy network traffic, etc.) content may not be displayed or played properly (playback may be interrupted or stalled). For best performance, a 100BASE-TX connection between player and PC is recommended.

Playback performance will vary with the power and condition (seek time of the hard disk, etc.) of the PC being used.

If several clients are playing simultaneously, as the case may be, playback is interrupted or stalled.

Depending on the security software installed on a connected PC and the setting of such software, network connection may be blocked.

Problems with the PC may cause malfunctions.

Pioneer is not responsible for any malfunction of the player and/or the Home Media Gallery features due to communication error/ malfunctions associated with your network connection and/or your PC, or other connected equipment. Please contact your PC manufacturer or Internet service provider.
