How to get the most out of your Network Media Receiver

Having the computer start up automatically

You can have your computer start up automatically when the Network Media Receiver establishes a connection. (The computer will not start up when the Network Media Receiver is turned on, only when a connection is established.) This is especially convenient when the computer is located at a distance from the Network Media Receiver.

In order to use this function, the computer must be in Standby or Hibernate mode.

For information on how to check the computer settings, see page 53.

Notes

•Depending on the settings and usage environment or on the connected computer, this function may not be available, especially with computers connected via wireless LAN.

•When the computer is in Standby or Hibernate mode, this function can be used to start up the computer. If the computer is started up in this way, and the Network Media Receiver is turned off, the computer may stay on or return automatically to Standby or Hibernate mode, depending on the power management settings of the computer. In some cases, it may take a long time for the computer to return to Standby or Hibernate mode.

•Some computers do not have a setting for automatic startup.
