About Home Media Gallery 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. 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) • 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 37.
