6. Using the «Play To» feature in Windows 7 to stream media
One of the new Windows 7 features includes a feature called «Play To» and this
lets your PC running Windows 7 control the unit to push media and use as a
universal remote control for your media collection.
Jupiter 6.2 supports the industry standard DLNA (Digital Living Network Al-
liance) 1.5 digital media render. This allows you to «Play To» other devices
around your home and combine media streaming with controlling a connected
media receiver while streaming content to it from another Windows 7 PC on a
home network.
Before you can use the «Play To» feature you need the set-up Jupiter 6.2 for
Windows 7 streaming media.

6.2. Use «Play To» elsewhere in Windows 7

To» by right-clicking music files. To select music files and stream them to the
unit, follow these steps:
