Audio CD Playback
Note: to play optical discs, an appropriate external optical disc drive should be connected to
the player.
To play an Audio CD, navigate to the Main screen of the file browser, and insert the disc into
the optical drive. The player will recognize the inserted Audio CD and enable the correspond-
ing optical drive item on the Main screen. Select this optical drive item and press ENTER or
PLAY. The player will start playback of the Audio CD.
When playing an Audio CD, the player treats each Audio CD track as a kind of an audio file,
and performs playback of a playlist consisting of all Audio CD tracks, the same way as if
the corresponding list of audio files was played in the file playback mode. The overall player
behavior and available RC buttons are the same as in the file playback mode. See "File play-
back" section for more information.
Internet Radio Playback
The player supports playback of Internet Radio stations streamed using HTTP protocol.
For information on using Internet Radio, please refer to http://dune-hd.com/support/inet_radio/.
IPTV Playback and Recording
The player supports playback and recording of IPTV channels streamed using multicast UDP
protocol (raw-UDP or RTP-over-UDP).
For information on using IPTV, please refer to http://dune-hd.com/support/iptv/.
HTTP Playback
The player supports playback of media content from network using HTTP protocol.
This possibility is mostly intended for playback of Internet Radio (see "Internet Radio playback"
section), but it can also be used for playback of other kinds of content streamed over HTTP
protocol. For example, you if you have an HTTP URL pointing to some video content in a for-
mat supported by the player, you can directly play this video content on the player w/o need
to download the video content in advance. Besides, when accessing UPnP servers, media
content provided by UPnP servers is also played using HTTP protocol.
To manually play a specific HTTP media stream (given that you know HTTP URL of this HTTP
media stream), you can prepare a playlist file (in M3U or PLS format) containing the corre-
sponding HTTP URL, and just launch this playlist file in the player in the usual way. The player
will start playback of the content streamed from this HTTP URL just like playback of any regular
video/audio file in file playback mode. See "File playback" section for more information.
File formats supported for HTTP playback are basically the same as file formats supported for
the regular file playback mode (however, there also may be additional specific limitations taking
place only for HTTP playback).
