Listening to Media via Your Home Network
Your AVR is DLNA-compatible and can access MP3 and WMA audio media that is stored
on other DLNA-compatible devices that are connected to the same network as your
AVR.
on other DLNA-compatible devices that are connected to the same network as your
AVR.
DLNA is a file sharing protocol that creates a bridge between the AVR and other devices
on the same network that contain audio media. DLNA is supported by PCs that have
Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center or Intel Media Server file sharing. Apple
computers can also share files via DLNA using HARMAN Music Manager software, which
you can download without charge from www.harmankardon.com. (Third-party software
that enables DLNA file-sharing also is available.)
