2.4. PLAYING YOUR PC’S SHARED MEDIA FILES
ENGLISH
Streaming one of your PC’s shared videos and displaying it on your TV
When connected to your home WiFi / Ethernet network, your ARCHOS gives you the • possibility to watch, directly on your TV, shared media fi les (videos, music or photos) stored in your PC’s Windows Media® Library.
For this to work, you will need a WiFi /Ethernet connection and Windows Media® • Player 11 or higher installed on your PC*.
This is especially useful when you have a large library of music and video and you • cannot fi t it all onto the internal hard drive of the ARCHOS.
The ARCHOS uses the UPnP (Universal Plug-and-play) standard to stream shared • media fi les from your PC’s Windows Media® Library.
* If you cannot install Windows Media® Player 11 or higher, it is possible to access and stream your PC’s fi les from the ARCHOS File Browser. See
