You can now close Windows Media® Player, and start viewing your PC’s shared

PLAYING YOUR SHARED MEDIA FILES ON THE ARCHOS
Your PC needs to be connected to the same WiFi network as the one the ARCHOS will
connect to. You also need to have conigured Windows Media® Player’s sharing op-
tions (see the previous section).
On the ARCHOS home screen, tap on the “
Video
”, “
Music
” or “
Photo
” icons,
and choose “
Network
”.
Tap on “
Network ‘UPnP’
” to start scanning for devices and computers sharing
their media iles on the WiFi network.
If you entered a name for your shared media iles in Windows Media® Player, it
should appear. Open it, and you will see all your shared videos, songs or photos.
If you are in the Video mode, you will then have access to all the videos stored in
your PC’s Windows Media® Library.
In the same way, the Music and Photo modes will allow you to access all the mu-
sic/photos stored in your PC’s Windows Media® Library.
Note: You may have some video iles of very high quality and these require
that the WiFi connection transfers data at a high speed. If your ARCHOS is far
away from your WiFi box, it may happen that the connection speed is reduced
thus not allowing some video iles to stream from your PC to the ARCHOS and
the television.
