How to get the most out of your Network
Media Receiver
Having the computer start up automatically
You can make a setting to have the 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 the 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 the standby or hibernation
condition. For information on how to check the computer settings, see page 47.
Notes
Depending on the settings and usage environment or the connected computer, this function may not be
available, especially for notebook computers and computers connected via wireless LAN.
When the computer is in the standby or hibernation mode, the function can be used to automatically
have the computer start up. If the computer was started up in this way, and the Network Media Receiver
is turned off, it may stay on or return to the standby or hibernation condition, depending on the power
management settings of the computer. In some cases, it may take a very long time for the computer to
return to the standby or hibernation condition.
Some computers do not have a setting for automatic startup.
