D-Link DSM-510 User Manual

Section 5 - Troubleshooting

17. I am not able to play certain media files.

• The DSM-510 supports most industry standard file formats but even supported file formats can be encoded 

in ways that are not supported. Try exporting media with different encoding settings or using different 
software applications to encode your files.

 

18. Checking the bit and sample rates of a music file.

• To check the bit and sample rates of a music file:

1.    Right-click on the file and select 

Properties

.

2.  Select the 

Summary 

tab and click the 

Advanced

 button. Scroll to the bottom of the list.

 

In most cases, the sample rate does not matter unless you come across a file that will not play or appear on 
your player. Use the above procedure to check the file settings for supported rates.

19. I created a playlist on my computer, but it doesn’t appear on my media player.

• Make sure the playlist file is located in a folder shared by your media player. Copy the playlist to your shared 

music folder or click on the Media Server icon to add or change your folder options.

20. How do I reset my DSM-510?

• Under normal circumstances, you should not need to reset your media player. However, to fully reset the 

media player, press the 

SETUP 

button and select 

Reset Settings

.

21. What version of firmware do I have?

• From the main home screen, press the 

SETUP 

button and select 

Device Information

. The firmware version 

will be listed.
