Preparing a computer to 
use as a server
A server is a device which delivers content 
(music, photos, and videos) to a DLNA device 
on a home network.
You can play back content stored on a 
computer on a home network with this receiver 
via that network after you have installed 
application software* which has a DLNA 
compliant server function.
* If you use a Windows 7-based computer, use 
Windows Media Player 12 bundled with 
 
Windows 7. 
 
If you use a Windows XP or Windows Vista-based 
computer, install the VAIO Media plus application 
software supplied with the receiver. See “What 
you can do with VAIO Media plus” below for 
details. In addition, refer to the help files of VAIO 
Media plus.
VAIO Media plus is an application software 
that enables you to quickly find content on 
your home network, such as music, photos, 
and videos, and view the content on the 
computer through the home network.
By connecting other devices to VAIO Media 
plus, you can also find and view the content on 
the connected devices through the home 
network. For example, you can enjoy photos 
and music, stored on your computer, on your 
TV and audio device or play a TV program, 
recorded with a hard disk recorder, on your 
computer.
If you use a VAIO computer, you can deliver 
content saved on an external hard disk drive or 
in Network-Attached Storage (NAS).
Note
If you use a computer other than a VAIO, you can 
only deliver content saved on the internal disk drive 
of that computer.
