In order to browse the media files on your computer through the Media Titan, you need to setup an UPnP Media Server on your computer, or use a NAS storage box with built-in UPnP Media Server, like the Conceptronic CH3SNAS. Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista

Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista offer a Media Server through the Windows Media Player. Start the Media Player, select Tools, and library than configure Sharing. You can allow and customize the settings for the Conceptronic Media Titan. Through the option Monitor Folders you can add or remove content you want to share.

Note: For Windows XP, you need at least Media Player 11 for this option.

Note: If a Media Server device or software package cannot be detected by the Conceptronic Media Titan, please check the capabilities and setup of that particular device/software package. When the device is compatible and setup correctly our Media Titan will show the device as selectable device on your TV system.ESPAÑOL
