I don't know that they'd have software to add a sound driver to use the
network to stream to it. I'd say it's probably for getting stuff from the
computer or Internet, but you'd probably have to use their menus and the
like to do it, sort of like what TV's are doing now where you can watch
stuff from online, but you control it with the TV.

Subject: Amplifiers with network plug
Hi
I'm not sure if this is on topic or not.
I'm considering a new amplifier for Audio and home cinema. One of the
connections into the amplifier is a hard wired network connection. The
unit upscales video apparently (not a concern to me being blind), but is
there any way this network connection can be accessible. I know the
machine won't talk, but:
1. Am I likely to be able to stream video and audio from the net or my
network PC? Or will it just work with audio?
2. Even if it doesn't speak, can I access one particular folder in my
Network PC so that using the remote for the amplifier, I can go through
the files in that folder even if I can't hear which is which.
3. Is there an;y other benefit for a blind person in having a network
connection in an amplifier e.g. can I set my computer to stream and pick
it up with the amplifier?
Thanks if anyone is able to supply an answer.
