Playing Music in Other 
Rooms
When connected to a DLNA compatible audio device or PC via 
the network, you can play music stored on the HDD on these 
devices.
About the DLNA function
The function ensures connection and music sharing among 
digital AV devices and PCs on the home network. When the 
server and the DLNA compatible devices are connected via the 
network, the device can play the server’s music content.
Because of this convenient function, you can play the server’s 
music even in other rooms.
For information regarding DLNA, visit the DLNA homepage:

To prepare the client devices
The client device that you are going to play the server’s music 
content also needs configuration for network connection and 
playback. Refer to the instructions supplied with the device for 
connections and settings. Also, the music server function may 
not work if firewall settings are made on other devices. See the 
device’s manual and change the settings.
Playing music on the client devices
You can play the server’s music content or stop playing it by 
operating the client device. Buttons on the server or the remote 
cannot be used for the operation.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the device for details.
