Playback on a Computer

Playback on a Computer

Using the Media Server function, you can wirelessly view your movies and photos from your computer or similar device. You will need an access point connected to your home network and software installed on your computer that can play back movies and photos on the media server. We recommend that you connect the computer to the access point using a LAN cable. Refer also to the instruction manuals for the computer, software and access point.
