Preparing a computer to
use as a server
A server is a device which delivers content
(music, photos, and videos) to a DLNA device
on a home network.
You can play back content stored on a
computer on a home network with this receiver
via that network after you have installed
application software* which has a DLNA
compliant server function.
* If you use a Windows 7-based computer, use
Windows Media Player 12 bundled with
Windows 7.
If you use a Windows XP or Windows Vista-based
computer, install the VAIO Media plus application
software supplied with the receiver. See “What
you can do with VAIO Media plus” below for
details. In addition, refer to the help files of VAIO
Media plus.
VAIO Media plus is an application software
that enables you to quickly find content on
your home network, such as music, photos,
and videos, and view the content on the
computer through the home network.
By connecting other devices to VAIO Media
plus, you can also find and view the content on
the connected devices through the home
network. For example, you can enjoy photos
and music, stored on your computer, on your
TV and audio device or play a TV program,
recorded with a hard disk recorder, on your
computer.
If you use a VAIO computer, you can deliver
content saved on an external hard disk drive or
in Network-Attached Storage (NAS).
Note
If you use a computer other than a VAIO, you can
only deliver content saved on the internal disk drive
of that computer.
