Applying media sharing settings

Here, we apply the settings to share music files stored on a PC and NAS on the network.

To use Windows Media Player as a music server, configure the settings below in advance.

To use a music server other than Windows Media Player, consult the help contents of your music server to configure settings.

Start up Windows Media Player 12 on the PC.
Select “More streaming options...” in the “Stream”.
Select “Allowed” in the “Denon AVR-S920W” drop-down list.
Select “Allowed” in the drop-down list for “Media programs on this PC and remote connections...”.
Follow the screen instructions to end the setting.

When using Windows Media Player 11

Start up Windows Media Player 11 on the PC.
Select “Media Sharing” in the “Library”.
Click the “Share my media” check box, select “Denon AVR-S920W”, and then click “Allow”.
As you did in step 3, select the icon of the device (other PCs and mobile devices) you want to use as a media controller, and then click “Allow”.
Click “OK” to finish.

Sharing media stored in NAS

Change settings on the NAS to allow this unit and other devices (PCs and mobile devices) used as media controllers to access the NAS. For details, see the owner’s manual that came with the NAS.
