UPNP

The full name of UPNP is Universal Plug and Play.

UPNP criterion is based on TCP/IP protocol as well as new internet

protocols aim at communication between facilities. In fact, UPNP is

made in the hope that all the facilities connected to the internet can

communicate without being interrupted by gateway in the future, so that

our communication in the internet can become more fluently, documents

transmission can become more convenient by using software that

supports UPNP, and internet applications which cannot be used before

can be operated in the future. These are all the convenience brought by

UPNP.

This product is a multimedia player that supports UPNP. Before using

UPNP function, please make sure that computer connected with the

product in LAN has installed software that support UPNP. If not, please

install a multimedia play software or share software that support UPNP

gateway protocol, and then open the UPNP share function in the

software, so that the access speed can be quickened largely.

For example, connect the player to the family LAN, and then multimedia

documents shared in the Media Player 11 software in the computer in

study can be accessed in the living room through UPNP.

Firstly, connect the player to the family LAN. You can refer to network

connection instructions to connect the player.

Secondly, install software that support UPNP gateway protocol.

Before using UPNP function, you need to install software that support

33

UPNP gateway protocol in your computer and then start the share

function. Such as install a Media Player 11 software that support UPNP

function (remark: former edition of Media Player 11 doesn’t support

UPNP function) in your computer.

Thirdly, share documents through setting the software.

After installing the software, open the software’s interface, choose

“Media Base” in the main interface of the software, and then choose

“add to the media base” in the pull-down menu. After adding some

documents or folders to the media base, choose “media share” in the

pull-down menu. You can also set the types and positions for the shared

documents, such as “music, picture or video” and so on.

Fourthly, use the player’s UPNP function.

When the setting of the shared documents is finished, choose UPNP

option in the main interface of the player to enter, and then the player

can search out computers installed with UPNP software in LAN. Enter

your computer, and you can see multimedia documents shared through

Media Player 11 in your computer. Using UPNP is more convenient and

faster than using the player’s network function. The player can access to

computers without being interrupted by gateway, avoiding fussy

operations like inputting user name, password and so on. Meanwhile,

the function of UPNP is stronger, for example, through setting the

options of Media Player 11, multimedia documents can be chosen and

classified according to different ways, thus the information can be shown

in a more detailed way, helping you to find what you want among plenty

of documents, bringing convenience. All the above are advantages of

television.

Q:I want to access files with the Player that I have shared in my network.

My home network is working correctly, but the Player does not list the

files.

73

A: If you do not have access to the shared files, please check the

following points:

1) Check if the network cable is connected properly at both sides, i.e. to

the Player

and to your network.

2) Make sure that the computer that you want to access is running and

not in a standby or idle mode.

drive using "My_Shortcuts ". To do so, you must enter the IP address of

your router as well as the user name and the password necessary to

access the network storage.

Q: How is it possible that the playback of a file from a shared folder in

the network is aborted?

74

being accessed via the network. During a sleep mode no data is

transferred via the network. Please adjust the energy saving settings of

the media source so that it does not go into a sleep mode while you play

files via the network.

Q: Why is it possible that there are interruptions when playing movies

from my local network?

A: Sometimes, there are several devices in a network that have to share

the maximum data transfer rate possible via a network connection

(shared medium). If there are several connections active in the network

you use the Player in (e.g. to the internet, a shared printer, etc.), it is

possible that this lowers the data transfer rate available for the streaming

of the data to the Player to a level that is insufficient for the playback of

e.g. a DVD file or an HD movie file. Should you experience such

problems, please try to reduce the amount of data transferred by other

users of your network.

Q: While using the Player, it no longer responds to my commands.

A: This problem may have several causes. Please check the following

items:

1) Please aim the remote control in the direction of the Player so that

direct visual contact between these two devices exists and ensure that

the infrared receiver of the remote control and the Player are not

covered.

2) Check the battery in the remote control and, if necessary, replace it

75

with a new one.

Q: I have connected the Player to my TV via HDMI and I want to change

the video output signal, but the video output resolution I want to use is

not available.

the menu item "TV system ". Your Player will try to automatically select

the best possible video output resolution for your TV.

from its standby mode, regardless of the current operating status of the
