About the media player function

Using the media player function, you can play back the music files on your computers through the LAN.

There are two ways of connecting to the computer: using media sharing and using folder sharing.

Media sharing

Media sharing allows this unit to play back a shared media library on the computer, as well as browsing the tracks using tag items such as artist names, genres and album names.

ppThis unit can display only single-byte alphanumeric characters. If a file includes double-byte characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.), they cannot be displayed correctly. However, it does not affect file playback.

You need a PC running on Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, and Windows Media Player 11 or later on it.
