Accessing Media Content from the Network
Once the media player has an active network connection, you can access media
content from a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device or shared computer located
on the same network as your media player. You can also access content from USB
storage connected to the media player. The benefits and applications of each
content source type are described below.
To access media content from a network share, media server, USB storage, or
online account:
1. Navigate to the Home screen, and select the menu for media content you wish to
access. It can be Music, Videos, or Photos. Press OK.
2. Press OK to select a new content source or press or / to select Select
Content Source , then press OK.
3. Press / to select the network resource where the media content you want to
access is located, then press OK.
Note: My Media Library does not appear if the media library is turned off (see “Media Library” on page
195).
