Tip

•• With the software installed, the computer can work as a music server. You can stream music/ pictures from the computer to MCi900, if both of them are connected to the home Wi-Fi/ wired network.

Library on the HDD

You can transfer the music/ picture files from a computer to the HDD in two ways:

by using a USB cable that connects the HDD to the computer;

or, through the home Wi-Fi/wired network.
