Using the “Play To”
feature in Windows 7
Windows 7 includes a feature called “Play To” and this
lets your PC running Windows 7 control the WLD+201
to push media and use the PC as a universal remote
control for your media collection.
The WLD+201 supports the industry standard DLNA
(Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5 digital media
renderer. 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 the WLD+201 for Windows
7 streaming media. See page 20.
