SAMBA server mode: There is no special program to use SAMBA server network. User will needs to set up the shared folder manually in the Windows PC. The speed of SAMBA server may be too slow for some HD file playback.

NFS server mode: To use NFS, VNS program should be running on the PC. NFS has much faster data transfer speed than SAMBA. HD media file playback via network will be more stable.

6. After selecting “Setting…”, VNS program window pup up as below.
7. Each function per menu is as below.

- VNS Top border: shows VNS program version and IP of the shared PC.
- Start with windows: VNS auto-run when Windows starts.
- Enable Sharing when started: Share the selected folder when VNS run
- Share: Select the shared folder you want (share the sub folders together)
- OK: Confirm the shared folder.

How to use NFS server as network

1. Run VNS program in the PC which is connected with Venice via network.
2. Insert IP address of the shared PC in Setup > LAN > Server IP of Venice V36.
3. Select IP Setting LAN (Wire/Wireless)
