Section 4 - Operation
Organizing Photo Albums
Unlike music files, photos contain little information about their content. Therefore, photos are organized by their filename 
and by the folder they are in. Many digital cameras will organize your photos into folders when you connect and unload 
them to your PC. Each time you dock or connect, a new folder is created using the current date and time, and all photos 
are copied into that folder.  
To simplify browsing on your DSM-510, you can create folders on your PC. For instance, create a folder in the My 
Pictures directory called Vacation and copy all of your vacation photos into it. Your DSM-510 will show the Vacation folder. 
To play a slideshow of the folder, highlight it and press the Play button. To view a list of photos in the folder, highlight it 
and press the right arrow button.
You can give your photos meaningful names by renaming the files on the PC. Most digital cameras number photos 
sequentially. For example, rename the photo IM001125.jpg to sunset.jpg on your PC. The photo will be displayed as 
sunset.jpg on your DSM-510*.
You can create as many folders as you need. Create a folder for the year, then create folders inside for each of the 
months, and then folders in each month for special occasions (birthday, vacation, holidays, etc...).
*Folder creation and renaming files must be done on the PC via standard Windows® procedures.
If the file extension does not appear as part 
of  the  name  displayed  when  you  select 
rename, then it is not necessary to enter the 
file extension (.jpg) at the end of the filename. 
To rename IM001125.jpg to sunset.jpg, type 
in  sunset  and hit  Enter  on  your computer’s 
keyboard. 
Right-click on the file and select Rename. 
If the file extension  appears  as  part of the 
name  when  you  select  rename, then  be 
sure to include the extension when renaming 
the file. To rename IM001125.jpg to sunset.
jpg, type in sunset.jpg and hit Enter on your 
computer’s keyboard.

9. How do I change the bit rate of an audio file?
There are various audio editing programs available for download on the Internet. 
10. Why do my AVI files fail to play?
The DSM-510 will only support MPEG-4 encoded AVI files. You may need to re-encode your AVI files with a video 
encoding software program, such as Nero Recode.
11. I cannot see anything when I turn on my DSM-510 player for the first time.
• Make sure your TV is displaying the appropriate video source. You may need to use the AV Input, Source, 
Select, or TV/Video button on your TV or TV remote to change video sources. If you are having trouble 
changing the video source, refer to the instructions that came with your TV. 
• If you did not connect the player directly to your TV, but are instead passing the signal through your VCR, 
make sure your VCR is displaying the appropriate video source. You may need to use the Input or Source 
button on your VCR or VCR’s remote control. Some VCRs only pass the signal through when they are 
turned off. If you are having trouble displaying the correct video source, refer to the instructions that came 
with your VCR.
• Make sure cables are connected to the IN jacks on your TV or VCR, not the OUT jacks.
• The cables you are using to connect your receiver to your TV or other equipment may be damaged or 
defective. Try exchanging the cables connected to the receiver with other cables that you know are working 
properly.

14. I can’t find any of my music, photos, or video.
• If using a wired network, verify the Ethernet cable is properly attached to your DSM-510 and to a network 
switch, hub or router. Verify that the switch, hub or router is powered on.
• If you are using static IP addresses, verify the IP address and netmask are in the same range as other 
addresses on your network. Verify that the address is not already in use by another PC or device.
• Make sure the files you are sharing use a supported file format and encoding scheme.
• Verify the folder is shared in the Viiv Media Libary on your Intel® Viiv™ technology verified PC.
15. I can’t hear any sound when I’m playing music.
• Make sure the audio cables are properly connected.
• If the audio cables are connected to your TV, the TV must be on to hear any music.
• If the audio cables are connected to your stereo, make sure the stereo is on and you have the correct stereo 
input source selected. If you are having trouble selecting the correct audio source, refer to the instructions 
that came with your stereo.
16. Some of my MP3 and WMA files don’t appear.
• The DSM-510 supports the most common music file formats. However, there are almost an infinite variety 
of bit rates and sample rates. If a file does not appear on the receiver, it most likely uses an unsupported 
rate.
• The files may be copy protected. To share your files, turn copy protection off when you rip them.
• The following MP3 sample rates are supported: 4, 8, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless 
connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, 
the D-Link wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want 
it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
A  wireless  local  area  network  (WLAN)  is  a  computer  network  that  transmits  and  receives  data  with  radio  signals 
instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such 
as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and 
communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and, the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructures have proven 
to be beneficial for many users. 
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in 
order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device 
used to provide this link.

What is Wireless?
Wireless or WiFi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. WiFi uses 
radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office 
network.
Why D-Link Wireless? 
D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. 
D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your 
network.
How does wireless work? 
Wireless works similar to how cordless phones work, through radio signals that transmit data from point A to point B. 
But wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network 
range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks Wireless Local Area 
Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access 
point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an 
indoor access point, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 
30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, 
golf courses, and many other outdoor venues.

Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote 
locations like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
A wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not knowing where 
to start. That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless 
network.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your router or Access Point
Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try 
to place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. 
If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.
Eliminate Interference 
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the 
router/access point. This would significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate 
on the same frequency.
Security 
Don’t let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning 
on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to the product manual for detailed information on how to set 
security up.

There are basically two modes of networking: 
• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network 
adapters on each computer, such as two or more WNA-1330 wireless network Cardbus adapters.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect 
to the wireless router or access point. 
An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in 
Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.

Check your IP Address
After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a 
DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and 
the default gateway of your adapter.
If  the  address  is  0.0.0.0,  check  your  adapter 
installation,  security  settings,  and  the  settings 
on your router. Some firewall software programs 
may  block  a  DHCP  request  on  newly  installed 
adapters. 
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a 
hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify their wireless network 
settings.

Convert an Earlier WMV File into WMV9 
There are many variations of video files (including WMV files) which may affect playback on the DSM-510. To alleviate this 
issue, there are software tools available on the web to check the properties of a video file and to convert an earlier WMV 
file into WMV9. If you have Windows® XP or ME, your Windows comes with a tool from Microsoft called “Movie Maker.” 
With this tool, you can create and edit video files into Windows Media Video 9 (WMV9) format. Here is an example of 
converting a WMV8 file into WMV9.
Step 1: Verify your WMV file codec using a validation tool. In the “Video” field, it tells you the selected video file is a 
WMV8 instead of a supported WMV9 by your HD media player. Therefore, we need to convert this file into a WMV9 
format in order for you to play it.
Step 2: Open “Windows Movie Maker”. Import the video you wish to convert.
This is AVIcodec, which is used to convert an earlier 
WMV file into WMV9.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, D-Link Systems, Inc. (“D-Link”) provides this Limited Warranty:
  • Only to the person or entity that originally purchased the product from D-Link or its authorized reseller or distributor, and
  • Only for products purchased and delivered within the fifty states of the United States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Possessions  
    or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, or addresses with an APO or FPO.
Limited Warranty:
D-Link  warrants  that  the  hardware  portion  of  the  D-Link  product  described  below  (“Hardware”)  will  be  free  from  material  defects  in 
workmanship  and  materials  under  normal  use from  the date  of  original  retail purchase  of the  product,  for the  period  set forth  below 
(“Warranty Period”), except as otherwise stated herein.
  • Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans): One (1) year
  • Power supplies and fans: One (1) year
  • Spare parts and spare kits: Ninety (90) days
The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at D-Link’s 
option, to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period at no charge to the original owner or to refund the actual 
purchase  price  paid.  Any  repair  or  replacement  will be  rendered  by  D-Link at  an  Authorized  D-Link  Service  Office. The replacement 
hardware need not be new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may, at its option, replace the defective Hardware or any part 
thereof with any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects 
to the defective Hardware. Repaired or replacement hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or ninety 
(90) days, whichever is longer, and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if 
D-Link determines that it is not practical to repair or replace the defective Hardware, the actual price paid by the original purchaser for the 
defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All Hardware or part thereof that is replaced 
by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of D-Link upon replacement or refund.

Limited Software Warranty:
D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”) will substantially conform to D-Link’s then current functional specifications 
for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety 
(90) days (“Software Warranty Period”), provided that the Software is properly installed on approved hardware and operated as contemplated 
in its documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Software Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the 
Software will be free of physical defects. The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under 
this Limited Warranty will be, at D-Link’s option, to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially 
conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable 
to the Software. Except as otherwise agreed by DLink in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and 
is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the 
remainder of the original Warranty Period and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable 
of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by 
the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies 
thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates.
Non-Applicability of Warranty:
The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for Hardware and Software portions of D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover 
any refurbished product and any product purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the 
sellers, or the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case, the product is being sold 
“As-Is” without any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything 
stated herein to the contrary.

nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow DLink to confirm the same, along with proof of purchase of the product (such 
as a copy of the dated purchase invoice for the product) if the product is not registered.
• The customer must obtain a Case ID Number from D-Link Technical Support at 1-877-453-5465, who will attempt to assist 
the customer in resolving any suspected defects with the product. If the product is considered defective, the customer must
