5. Using Your PC with the NTV550

The Ultimate HD Media Player comes with a Resource CD with software you can install on your

PC. This software includes the Configuration Wizard and the NETGEAR NeoTV for Windows

application.

• Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard helps you set up shared media on your

network so that the NTV550 Ultimate HD Media Player can access it. Although you can

use the Windows Sharing and Security option to share media folders, it is easier to use

the Configuration Wizard.

• NeoTV for Windows application. You can use this to manage your Ultimate HD Media

Player from your computer.

Controlling the Ultimate HD Media Player from a

Windows PC

You can control the Ultimate HD Media Player from your PC using 2 methods:

• Open a Web browser and type the IP address of the NTV550. To find the IP address, on

the NTV550 TV menus, select Settings > System > System Info.

This provides a Web interface for using the Ultimate HD Media Player. You can also use

the interface to set up the Ultimate HD Media Player. Some operations (such as adding

your own RSS feeds) are easiest from the Web interface, since you can use the

keyboard of your PC instead of the on-screen keyboard of the Ultimate HD Media Player.

• If you install the NeoTV for Windows software, run the NeoTV for Windows application,

which creates an icon in the system tray. Click the icon and select Status to view which

media your Ultimate HD Media Player (or other NETGEAR Digital Entertainer devices) is

playing.
