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

• Files on the network servers (on the PCs or 

components connected to the player via LAN 
interface.)

• 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 
the network manually. Otherwise, you cannot play 
back files stored on components on the network. See 
page 44.
