This player can play audio files stored on computers or other 

components on a Local Area Network (LAN).

Introduction

This player allows you to listen to audio files on a computer or 

other component connected to the player via LAN interface. 

This chapter describes the setup and playback procedures 

required to enjoy these features. It is advisory that you also 

refer to the operation manual supplied with your network 

component.

Note

Photo or video files cannot be played back.

With Windows Media Player 11 or Windows Media Player 

12.

About playable DLNA network devices

This player allows you to play music on media servers 

connected on an identical Local Area Network (LAN) as the 

player. This player allows you to play files stored on the 

following devices:

Computers running Microsoft Windows Vista with 

Windows Media Player 11 installed

Computers running Microsoft Windows 7 or 8 with 

Windows Media Player 12 installed

DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on computers or 

other components)

Files stored in a computer or DMS (Digital Media Server) as 

described above can be played via command from an external 

Digital Media Controller (DMC). Devices controlled by this 

DMC to play files are called DMRs (Digital Media Renderers). 

This player supports this 

DMR

 function. 

When this player is selected as a DMR and DMS playback is 

begun, the player’s input automatically switches to 

DMR

During 

DMR

 input, the currently playing track name, artist 

name, album name, and album art will appear on the player’s 

display (some information may not be displayed, depending 

on the file being played).
When in the 

DMR

 mode, such operations as playing and 

stopping files can be performed from the external controller. 

Volume adjustment and the muting control are also possible.

Note

Depending on the external controller being used, playback 

may be interrupted when the volume is adjusted from the 

controller. In this case, adjust the volume from the player or 

remote control.

Using AirPlay on iPod touch, iPhone, iPad and 
iTunes

AirPlay works with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iOS 

4.3.3 or later, Mac with OS X Mountain Lion or later, and PC 

with iTunes 10.2.2 or later.
To use AirPlay, select your player on your iPod touch, iPhone, 

iPad or in iTunes and start playback. For more information, 

see the Apple website (http://www.apple.com).

Adjustment of the player’s volume from iPod touch, 

iPhone, iPad or iTunes.

Pause/resume, next/previous track, and shuffle/repeat 

from the remote control of the player. The display will not 

show the Play Status, Repeat, or Shuffle icons.

Display of the currently playing track information on the 

player’s display, including artist, song/album name and 

album artwork. It may not be displayed other than song 

name.

Tip

A network environment is required to use AirPlay.

The player’s name that shows up in the AirPlay UI on iPod 

touch, iPhone, iPad and iTunes can be changed by 

Friendly Name

 from 

Network Setting

AirPlay provided on this player has been developed and 

tested based on the software versions for the iPod touch, 

iPhone, iPad and the software versions for iTunes that are 

indicated on the Pioneer website. AirPlay may not be 

compatible with iPod touch, iPhone, iPad or iTunes 

software versions other than those indicated on the Pioneer 

website.

About the DHCP server function

To play back audio files stored on components on the network, 

you must turn on the DHCP server function of your router. 

In case your router does not have the built-in DHCP server 

function, it is necessary to set up the network manually. 

Otherwise, you cannot play back audio files stored on 

components on the network or listen to Internet radio 

stations. See 

Network setting

 on page 21 for more on this.

Authorizing this player

This player must be authorized to enable playback. The player 

is automatically authorized when it is connected to a 

computer over a network. If not, please authorize this player 

manually on the computer. The authorization (or permission) 

method for access varies depending on the type of server 

currently being connected. For more information on 

authorizing this player, refer to the instruction manual of your 

server.
