Introduction
You can play back video, audio and still picture
files stored on your computer by setting up the net-
work with the computer and the main unit.
You must install CyberLink Media Server from the
bundled CD-ROM to your computer.
CyberLink Media Server is a software for send-
ing video, audio and still picture files stored on
your computer to the main unit.
The network can be easily set up without having to
manually configure the IP address of the main unit
by simply connecting a router with a DHCP func-
tion to the main unit. The DHCP function of the
router automatically assigns the IP address to the
main unit.
NOTE
• If the router does not have a DHCP function or
you do not use the DHCP function, you must
assign the IP address to the main unit manually.
• You can also use the network function by con-
necting the main unit to the computer directly.
(Refer to page 19.)
You can play back the following file types using the
network function of this system.
LPCM, WAV, MP3, WMA, JPEG, ASF, DivX,
MPEG1, MPEG2
NOTE
• You cannot use the network function to play
back a DivX DRM file stored on the connected
computer.

Confirming the connection to the computer
If “CyberLink Media Server” is not displayed
The main unit may not detect the CyberLink Media
Server for any of the following reasons.
Determine the reason by referring to A and B
shown below.
A The Ethernet cable may not be con-
nected properly.
Possible cause:
The Ethernet cable may be of the wrong
type (a crossover cable may be used) or
may not be connected securely.
Possible solution:
Refer to “Connecting the main unit to the
router” on page 6 to check that the Ether-
net cable is a straight-through cable and is
connected securely.
B You may be using a router that requires
the IP addresses to be set up manually.
Possible cause:
The router connected to the main unit may
not have a DHCP function that assigns the
IP addresses automatically. Another possi-
bility is that the IP addresses may be
assigned manually without using the
DHCP function of the router.
Possible solution:
The IP address of the main unit must be
set up manually. Click [Cancel] to close the
display on the computer screen and exit
CyberLink Media Server. Next, assign the
IP address to the main unit referring to
“Setting up the IP address” on page 11.

Setting up the IP address
You can skip this part when the main unit and the
computer are connected to a router that uses
DHCP function.
You must assign the IP address to the main unit
manually in the following cases.
Case 1: When you have assigned an IP address
to the computer manually
Case 2: When you have connected the main
unit to the computer directly
Refer also to “Connecting the main unit to
the computer directly” on page 19.
This part explains the procedure for determining
the IP address of the computer by displaying the
network setup.
NOTE
• Depending on the computer settings, you may
need operations different from the explanation
given in this part. Refer to “Help” in Windows for
the following steps.
