Music Music Quality Your music listening experience on the media player depends upon the quality of your digital music files on your PC. Avoid quality settings below 48kbps as they are unsupported.

Supported Music Formats The following music file formats are supported: MP3 (up to 192 kbps) MPEG-1, Layer 3 Audio file -The standard Internet music file format. This is the most commonly used audio format.
Music (continued) Organizing Music Files Music files are located on your PC and can be contained in one directory folder, or organized in several subfolders. The DSM-320 automatically organizes your music files by genres, artists, albums, and tracks. This information is obtained from the ID3 tags in each of your music files. The ID3 tag is created for you when you rip (copy) your music from your CD.
Music (continued) Playing a Track Once you enter the music menu, there are several ways that you can view tracks. You can view all tracks, playlists, tracks by genre, artist, album, or folder name.

Select All Tracks 2. Highlight Halo To browse by artist: 1. Select Artists 2. Select Depeche Mode 3. Select Violator 4.
Music (continued) Creating Music Playlists Use your favorite music software on your PC to create music playlists.

Photo Supported Photo Formats The following photo file formats are supported: BMP (non-compressed) Windows bitmap file. Widely used in Microsoft Windows for pictures and backgrounds.

GIF (Animated GIF’s are not supported) Older format still widely available on the internet for photos, web pages, and clip art.
Photo (continued) Organizing Photo Albums Unlike music files, photos contain little information about their content. Therefore, photos are organized by their filename and by the folder they are in. Many digital cameras will organize your photos into folders when you connect and unload them to your PC. Each time you dock or connect, a new folder is created using the current date and time, and all photos are copied into that folder.

No, you may run both applications but it is not necessary to run both at the same time. What about Copy Protection and DRM support? The most common method of copy protection is WMDRM (Digital Rights Management). The DSM-320 can play these types of files if you are using the Windows® Media Connect software.
Troubleshooting I cannot see the Setup Wizard when I turn on my DSM-320 player for the first time. Make sure your TV is displaying the appropriate video source. You may need to use the AV Input, Source, Select, or TV/Video button on your TV or TV remote to change video sources. If you are having trouble changing the video source, refer to the instructions that came with your TV.
Troubleshooting (continued) My remote control isn’t working. Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly. Try removing the batteries and reinserting them without touching any buttons on the remote control. Replace the batteries with new ones. The volume and mute buttons on the remote control don’t work when playing content that was encoded in 5.1 surround. The volume can only be adjusted on your digital stereo receiver. I can’t find any of my music, photos, or video.
Troubleshooting (continued) I can’t hear any sound when I’m playing music. Make sure the audio cables are properly connected. If the audio cables are connected to your TV, the TV must be on to hear any music. If the audio cables are connected to your stereo, make sure the stereo is on and you have the correct stereo input source selected. If you are having trouble selecting the correct audio source, refer to the instructions that came with your stereo. Some of my MP3 and WMA files don’t appear.
Troubleshooting (continued) Checking the bit and sample rates of a music file. To check the bit and sample rates of a music file: 1. Right-click on the file and select Properties. 2. Select the Summary tab and click the Advanced button. Scroll to the bottom of the list. The file to the right has a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sample rate of 44 kHz. In most cases, the sample rate does not matter unless you come across a file that will not play or appear on your player.
Troubleshooting (continued) I am unable to access Rhapsody™ content. Make sure Rhapsody™ is running on a computer connected to the network and check your network connections. Verify that the UPnP Server has been started in Rhapsody™. Within the Rhapsody™ application on your computer, go to Options, select User Settings, and go to the UPnP tab. If the Status is stopped, click on the Start button. Be sure to check Start UPnP server once logged in.
Troubleshooting (continued) When sharing files with the D-Link Media Server, my PC is very slow. If you are sharing gigabytes of content, especially videos, please make sure that you are not running any other software that requires high CPU usage. It takes a long time to share files with the D-Link Media Server. If you are sharing gigabytes of content with your media server software, it may take several minutes depending on the size of the content you are sharing.

Appendix Setting Microsoft Windows Power Options If you want access to your music and photos all the time, make sure to configure your PC’s power settings. Do not allow your computer to enter a standby power state, or you will have to “wake up” your PC to view music or photos on your DSM-320. However, your monitor can be in a low power state or turned off. To change your power settings on Windows XP: 1. Click on Start. 2. Select Control Panel. 3. Select Performance and Maintenance. 4.

Appendix (continued) Wireless Installation Considerations The D-Link® DSM-320 can be integrated into a wireless network from virtually anywhere within its operating range. However, the range can be limited by the number of walls, thickness of walls, and location of the walls that the wireless signal must pass through. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.

Each group of digits contain an 8-bit value as a number ranging from 0 to 255. Each computer must have it’s own unique IP address. The IP addresses on your network must be within the same range. For example, if one PC or device has an IP address of 192.168.0.2, the other devices should have IP addresses that are sequential, like 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.4.
