Introduction

The Home Media Gallery allows you to play music or photo on media servers connected on an identical Local Area Network (LAN) as the receiver. This unit allows for the playing of files stored on the following:

•PCs running Microsoft Windows XP with Windows Media Connect installed

•PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with Windows Media Player 11 installed

•DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on PCs or other components)

To play back audio or photo files stored on components on the network or listen to Internet radio stations, you must turn on the DHCP server function of your router. In case your router does not have the built-in DHCP server function, it is necessary to set up the network manually. Otherwise, you cannot play back audio files stored on components on the network or listen to Internet radio stations. See Setting up the network on page 84 for more on this.
