Selected Devices
Select anywhere in the Device List Access bar to display available devices.
After an initial scan of devices, the Plato App lists all UPnP devices available on the network
in the drop down list box. The list will show all UPnP servers or renderers available
depending on the TAB visible at the time. This may include remote speakers, TVs, other Plato
units, or tablets/smartphones/PCs that are running 3
rd
party UPnP services.
The device that is running the Plato App always has (Local) displayed after its name. By
default the Plato app assigns the name ‘Plato’ on startup, although it is possible (and indeed
preferable) to modify the name of each unit to make it easier to determine which device you
are connecting to.
Details on how to change this name, and to output music and video to other devices listed is
provided in later sections.

The Plato Main Drawer Feature Menu
Select the Plato logo in the top left hand corner of the display.
The Main Drawer Feature Menu is displayed.
The Main Feature Drawer provides access to Plato’s individual operations.
For each Feature the name of the tabs at the top of the screen may vary, although the
general tab structure is always the same.
Generally the left tab is for configuration, the middle tab is a history timeline, and the right
tab shows the current status. This is always labelled the NOW PLAYING tab, and shows what
is currently playing on the selected device, with media controls to allow play/pause/volume
control etc. Specific media controls may vary depending on which feature is selected.
