About playable DLNA network devices
This unit allows you to play music on media servers connected on an identical Local Area Network (LAN) as the
receiver. This unit allows for the playing of files stored on the following devices:
! PCs running Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8 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 via command from an exter-
nal Digital Media Controller (DMC). Devices controlled by this DMC to play files are called DMRs (Digital Media
Renderers). This receiver supports this DMR function. When in the DMR mode, such operations as playing and
stopping files can be performed from the external controller. Volume adjustment and the muting control are also
possible. The DMR mode is canceled if the remote control unit is operated while in the DMR mode (aside from
certain buttons, including the VOLUME +/, MUTE and DISP).
! Depending on the external controller being used, playback may be interrupted when the volume is adjusted
from the controller. In this case, adjust the volume from the receiver or remote control.

About the DHCP server function
To play back audio files stored on components on the network or listen to Internet radio stations, 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 the network manually. Otherwise, you cannot play back audio files stored on components
on the network or listen to Internet radio stations. See Setting network connection on page 51 for more on this.
Authorizing this receiver
This receiver must be authorized to enable playback. This happens automatically when the receiver makes a
connection over the network to the PC. If not, please authorize this receiver manually on the PC. The authorization
(or permission) method for access varies depending on the type of server currently being connected. For more
information on authorizing this receiver, refer to the instruction manual of your server.
