About Home Media
Gallery
This player’s Home Media Gallery function allows you to
display a list of input sources and start playback. This
chapter describes setup and playback procedures
required to enjoy these features. When you play the files
stored on your computer or the components on the
network, it is advisory that you also refer to the operation
manual supplied with your network component.
The input sources that can be played from Home Media
Gallery are as shown below.
BD-R/RE (BDAV format) discs
DVD-R/RW (VR format) discs
Audio CDs (CD-DA, SACD and DTS CDs)
DVD/CDs on which only data files of video, image or
audio files, etc. are recorded.
•USB memory device

components connected to the player via LAN
interface.)
Note
The Home Media Gallery allows you to play files on
media servers connected on an identical Local Area
Network (LAN) as the receiver.
The following files are allowed to be played from
Home Media Gallery:
PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with
Windows Media Player 11 installed
PCs running Microsoft Windows 7 with Windows
Media Player 12 installed
DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on PCs or
other components)
Files stored in a PC or DMS (Digital Media Server)
as described above can be played by Digital Media
Player (DMP).
The player supports the use of such DMP.
To play back audio files stored on components on the
network, 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
