What Audio and Video Formats does this support over DLNA? Does anyone know the formats that this receiver supports over DLNA? For example, does it support FLAC audo files? Thanks

Pretty sure that it does not. FLAC isn't listed in the manual as a supported format (which is too bad).

I have been checking all over and I have not been able to find out if this can play FLAC audio files over DLNA. Does anyone know the answer?

I bought Samsung 52'' LCD with DLNA support and already have a NAS drive (DLink - D232) that supports UPnP. All my media is in the NAS device. I haven't received the TV yet or else would have tried myself, but does anyone know if DLNA supported devices (my TV in this case) can access media from UPnP supported servers (my NAS in this case)?

Does the Audyssey Dynamic Volume work for keeping commercials from overpowering shows? I am in the same boat as you i'm looking to purchase an av receiver and have it narrowed down to three any help would be great. I use the receiver for music tv and blue ray. I'm trying to decide between the Onkyo 507 the pioneer vsx-819 and the denon avr-589. I see that people seem to prefer the onkyo's whats the deal with that?

I stream mkvs from a NAS all the time. It can access PC file systems too. The best part is that it will automatically retrieve movie info for those mkvs.I have no personal experience with HD audio. You can check the A-400 forum for that.

According to the manual, this device supports the following: AC3/DTS/MP3/WMA/WAV/OGG/AAC/APE/FLAC and you can find their manual online at: http://www.incredisonic.com/imp150.html where you can see their manual as well. I hope that helps!

Wondering if hi res audio (24 bit / 96kHz) can be streamed wirelessly via the Airport Extreme and the WD Live? Does the WD Live come with a Mac (OS X 10.4.11 'Tiger') compatible client? Can I use the WD Live to stream 24/96 audio files stored on my iMac (or networked or local USB HD) without loss of quality? Seems like all these SHOULD work, but nice to get confirmation. I want to use the optical digital output to go into a high end audio DAC. Thanks!

It's not a question of whether DLNA is or is not simplistic. It's a question of whether it works when people use this device, and specifically when people use it with the native capabilities of whatever is hosting or storing the media. Saying what's better sidesteps the issue. It would be better for me to ignore the WD and use a powerful desktop computer attached to my TV instead. Unless you factor in cost. In that case, it's better not to need to find any dedicated server program or anything else that's not included for free.

OK.... this is a USB *input* - which is what I assume you wanted to know.The USB input on the DC-1 supports all standard sample rates (44.1k, 48k, 88k, 96k, 176k, 192k) at 16 and 24 bit depth.It uses the USB Audio Class 2 (UAC2) USB audio standard - which requires a driver (we provide it free) for a PC, but is built into modern Apple computers.The high performance USB interface chip we use on the DC-1 is the C-Media CM6631A.When you play a FLAC file on a computer or player, it is decoded by the player, and sent to the DAC as PCM.The audio output quality of the DC-1 is VERY good.

Since the time of that post, I got another BD player and it supports DLNA. The problem is the same as I have with my PS3. There's no decent way to skip forward and backward.What I don't know is the cause. I don't expect a solution, and I know the problem is at the server end, but I don't know why the problem exists there.The solution to my problem was to build my own box for about $200. I now have something that's bigger than the WD, but it runs Windows 7 and gives all the streaming options I need, including using Media Center directly. It's not a solution for everybody, and the cost reflected using an HD and optical drive I already had. Since the time of that post, I got another BD player and it supports DLNA.

"The DLNA stuff is just extra bells and whistles" That is certainly not true. DLNA allows you to stream movies/music/photos directly to the TV without an external media extender/player. It's not a "fluff" feature at all. This is exactly what many people, including myself, are looking for. I'm actually trying to find out if the Z-series does support video for sure. The Samsung A750 does, but lacks FFW and RRW.

Omar, I don't have it connected to a NAS drive personally, but the instruction manual and setup screens provide for NAS setup option. In fact, the manual states the following: "This unit can play back music files and playlists (m3u, wpl) stored on a PC and on Network Attached Storage (NAS) that supports DLNA. The network audio playback function of this unit connects to the server using Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service." The audio/video format types and specifications supported by this unit for playback are as follows: - WMA (Windows Media Audio) - MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) - WAV - MPEG-4 AAC - FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) - ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) - AIFF - DSD - JPEG Hope this helps.

It works with MAC (through USB). Plays all Apple Lossless files. Should support FLAC as long as there is a player/app in Mac that plays FLAC.

Not overly sure of this. I do believe that it only supports FLAC, AIFF and ALAC codecs that have been written to a USB. These are only formats that u have only experimented with but only up till recent have able to take advantage of. The 62FD does support a DLN server.

I am sorry those file formats are not supported by the player. In order to get the files to work you will have to recode them based on the instructions provided here:http://content.miccastore.com/node/189I apologize for the inconvenience.Manny

Skipping back and forth doesn't work well over DLNA. My Blu-ray player supports that, but it takes longer to figure out the skip location and advance the video stream than the time of the skip. I'm happier with my WD without DLNA. I do wish it could skip 30 seconds, and I'm going to explore if that is possible with wdlxtv firmware.

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

Lawrence/Melton, thanks for the info! I am thinking about .atrac for nostalgic reasons. Some years down the road, when Sony folds and ATRAC becomes public domain, perhaps ATRAC files will be more playable.. ;) But looks like PCM/WAV is the way to go, as someone else mentioned that I will be transcoding the audio if I save it as ATRAC3+. So I will probably just do PCM and convert it to FLAC for archival and playback. The CDs will be for giving to my relatives so they can play it on any CD player. Not as a storage/archival medium. That'll be on my RAID harddrive. I am picturing another scenario. After all these work (and $$$ to buy the MZ-M200) to upload a pristine copy of the recording to my computer, and put the MD away for storage in my attic/craw space, something happens and I lose the copy on my raided HD, the copy on my RAID NAS, the copy on my offline HD, and the copy on my offsite storage, and I am back to square one, bidding on an MZ-R200 from ebay (as I've probably sold mine), paying dearly, to do this all over again. ;) Well, of course this won't happen, as I can probably still hunt down the copy I gave to my relative, but the thoughts have occurred to me. ;) In the end, I think the MD would've cost me more than if I had purchased a professional DAT player in the first place. There are so much that can be said about why MD failed and how utterly stupid Sony is, I am not going to say anything other than Steve Jobs is the best answer to Sony's paranoia about copy protection. Protected a few pennies, but missed out on billions.
