Getting started

3.1  Download the App (iOS + Android)

A free uPlay Stream mobile App is available for iOS and Android. It 

works with the uPlay Stream receiver to configure the receiver’s 

setting and stream audio to it. Please scan the QR Codes or 

search “QED uPlay Stream” on the Apple App Store or on Google 

Play to download the QED uPlay Stream App. 

Note: The ‘Play To’ function of the uPlay Stream app only works 

with the QED uPlay Stream product. It cannot ‘Play To’ other 

DLNA / UPnP renderers. However, playback to the local Android 

device is still available without the presence of the QED uPlay 

Stream.

3.2  Download the PC / MAC setup software (Optional)

PC or Mac setup software is also available to download free of charge 

from the QED website in order to set up the uPlay Stream receiver. 

Please visit
