4) Select from the various media categories shown (Music, Playlists, etc). Note: Selecting
“Video” or “Pictures” (if shown) will result in the display showing “Empty”. The actual menu
structure from this point forward is provided by the media server not the NetWorks and
might change across systems. Use the pq buttons to highlight the file you wish to play
and press Select.
As with the USB input, the Music Player cannot play back protected music files that use
Apple’s proprietary coding. Songs or albums purchased through iTunes use this format. Also
note there are many versions of the Real Audio format. If a Real music file will not play, it should
be converted to MP3, WMA, or ACC format for playback through the NetWorks.
2. Shared Folders (CIFS): (WINDOWS XP HOME)
In order to set up the NetWorks to playback music stored on shared network computers,
please follow the instructions below.
1) Press the “Start” key on your computer.
2) Select “All Programs”.
3) Select “Accessories”.
4) Select “Windows Explorer”.
5) Locate the folder you want to share.
6) Right click the folder and click “Sharing and Security”.
7) Do one of the following:
a) If the “Share this folder on the network” check box is available, select the box and clock
“Okay”.
b) If the “Share this folder on the network” check box is not available, your computer is not
on a network. If you would like to set up a home or small office network, click the “Network
Setup Wizard” link and follow the instructions to turn on file sharing. Once file sharing is
enabled, start this procedure over again.
8) Turn on the NetWorks, press the Source button, select Music Player mode and “Shared folders”.
9) Select the workgroup name and then select the computer name. Now select the desired
folder and continue to select the folders you wish to access.
Note for Windows VISTA: You have to turn on the Guest account via manage user accounts
in the control panel in VISTA, then add access to either ‘Everyone’ or ‘Guest’ on the shared
drive. You can create a new account for the NetWorks with a password if you are concerned
about security. The Guest account has no password by default, so the NetWorks will connect
to it from its factory default settings.
Operating Shared Folders (CIFS) after Set-Up:
1) Select the Music Player mode under Source in the NetWorks and select Shared Folders.
2) NetWorks searches for all available domains and shows all found domains.
This may take a minute or so.
3) Once you select a domain, a list of PCs on the domain is displayed.
4) Select the PC you wish to access.
5) Once a Domain and PC have been chosen, a list of all of the shared folders
in the system is displayed.
