video formats.
Enjoy PC music anywhere at home. Stream music files from your PC
and listen to them in high quality in any room on your audio system.

remote control to select songs according to artist, album or genre. You
can play songs from online music services, and even listen to Internet
Radio without a PC. The Wireless Multimedia player supports WMA and
MP3 music formats, and so you have access to all your downloaded
songs.

photos with the whole family or friends. Simply store your photo
collections centrally on a PC and enjoy them anytime on your TV. If you
have a high-definition TV input on an LCD or plasma TV, your digital
photos will be brought to life!
Smart and simple: The Wireless Multimedia player is easily installed,
thanks to a user-friendly step-by-step approach. All the steps needed to
install it are displayed on your TV screen.
Wireless convenience. You can access multimedia content from other
PCs in your house. The media manager works on most PCs, including
older types. So with just one Wireless Media player you can access
content on several PCs, and there's no need to copy files across. The
2.4 GHz wireless link between the multimedia player and your router or
access point means you don't have to lay cables or drill holes through
walls.

Hint:Using a wireless connection for both the DMP and the Server PC
doubles the media data traffic over the connection. While this rate is
achievable with 802.11b/g technology in ideal conditions, it can cause
undesirable interruptions in some movie viewing situations. To avoid this,
use a wired network connection between the Server PC and the wireless
Router/Gateway (RGW). Alternatively, a wireless 802.11 AD HOC
connection can be set up directly between the PC and the DMA.
