Introduction

D-Link introduces the latest addition to its multimedia family of products: the D-Link DSM-350 MyChannel Media Player.
Using your home entertainment center from the comfort of the living room, the DSM-350 includes everything you need
to instantly access and play music, videos, and photos. Use the DSM-350’s 10/100Mbps Ethernet connection to connect
to your wired network and play media les from your PC and network storage devices. USB Direct playback gives you

access to media stored on a USB storage drive.

The DSM-350 is simple to set up, and its sleek design makes it a natural addition to any home entertainment center. The
AV connectors on the back panel of the DSM-350 allow for direct connection to your television or home theater system.

Use the included remote control to listen to your music, watch videos, and display photos, all on your television!

The DSM-350 supports the majority of audio, video, and image le formats. You can play back WMA, MP3, FLAC,
RealAudio, and other audio formats and enjoy them on your home stereo system. Watch stored videos in WMV9,
MPEG1/2/4, RMVB, and many other formats on your television. Enjoy slideshows of your favorite photos in a variety
of formats. Better yet, it’s easy to access your les through an intuitive on-screen interface you can control with the
remote control included with the DSM-350.

The DSM-350 is capable of playing back High-Denition video les with support for resolutions up to 720p and can
connect your television using HDMI and for the highest quality digital video signal. An S/PDIF digital optical audio

output lets you connect the device to a stereo system for accurate, high-quality audio playback.

Getting your les on the DSM-350 is easy; a built-in downloader allows you to download les directly to the device from
HTTP sources or from torrents. You can also access the installed hard drive over a local network as a shared drive,

or you can use a USB cable to connect it to a PC as a USB storage drive.
