Listening to Audio Files From Your PC via the

Audio System

Note Listening to audio files on your non-networked audio system requires a UPnP- compliant Media Adapter to convert the digital signals from your PC to analogue signals for your audio system. For more information on Media Adapters, see ‘What You Should Know About Home Networking’ on page 11.

You must also install the Philips Media Manager software. For further information, please check ‘Installing the Software’ on page 51.

The song list will appear.

6Select the song you want to listen to

and press the OK hard key or choose
