By connecting the MusicCAST2 system to a DLNA server (such as Windows Media Player 11) via the WiFi router, you can play back the PC music contents on your Music Players. To enable a sharing of PC music contents over the network, configure the sharing setting of the DLNA server.

The MusicCAST2 system may not be compatible with some DLNA server software.

For details on settings on your PC or DLNA server software, refer to the manual supplied with it. In here, we use Windows Media Player11 for Windows XP to explain the general way.

A connection must be established between the Music Commander and Music Player(s) via the WiFi router before performing the following procedure.

This operation is required for the DLNA server to recognize the Music Players. In case you do not want to turn off the Music Player, perform the operation to play back any PC music content on the Music Player after the Music Commander is registered. You cannot play back any PC music content until the Music Player is registered but this operation will let the DLNA server recognize the Music Player.
