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)

media servers connected on an identical Local Area
Network (LAN) as the receiver.

Home Media Gallery:

Windows Media Player 11 installed

Media Player 12 installed
– DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on PCs or

• 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
