a shared folder)
About a shared folder
A shared folder is configured in a network device such as
a computer or NAS device (hard disk connected to your
home network) for access from other users. You can play
music files in a shared folder on your computer or NAS
device connected to the same home network as that of
this unit. To play music files in a shared folder, you must
first configure Windows 8 or Windows 7. Make sure this
unit and a computer or NAS device are connected to the
same router.
Configure the sharing options and create a shared
folder on your computer in advance.
For information on how to configure the NAS device
and create a shared folder, refer to the NAS device's
instruction manual.
