server software
The first step toward sharing content is installing the digital media software on your PC. Simply install the included software on each PC where you store your music or digital photos. For installation instructions, see “installing software” on page 4.
Once the software is installed, the media server icon will appear in your system tray. To configure the server, click on the icon.
The server shares the music
and photos on your PC with all media receivers on your network. When you view a photo or music file on your TV, the server sends (serves) the file to your media receiver.
