Playback from Source function
About Source
function
This player's Source 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 Source
function 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 device
• Files on the network servers (on the PCs or
components connected to the player via LAN
interface.)
Note
• The Source function 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 Source function:
– PCs running Microsoft Windows 10 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.
Files stored in a PC or DMS (Digital Media
Server) as described above can be played via
command from an external Digital Media
Controller (DMC). Devices controlled by this
DMC to play files are called DMRs (Digital
Media Renderers). This player supports this
DMR function. When in the DMR mode, such
operations as playing and stopping files can be
performed from the external controller.
• 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
Setting the IP address on page 45
