Sharing content with DLNA Certified™
devices
You can view or play media content saved in your phone on other devices such as, for
example, a TV, a PlayStation®3, a computer, or a tablet. Such devices must be DLNA
Certified™ by the Digital Living Network Alliance and must be connected to the same
Wi-Fi® network as your phone in order for content to be shared.
After you set up the sharing of content between devices, you can, for example, print files
from your phone on a printer, or view photos taken with your phone camera on a large-
screen TV.
Preparing to play phone content on DLNA Certified™ devices
Before you can view or play media files from your phone on other DLNA Certified™
devices, you must set up file sharing on your phone. The devices you share content with
are called client devices. For example, a TV, computer or tablet can act as client devices.

When you set up file sharing on your phone, you must also give access permission to
client devices. After you do so, such devices appear as registered devices. Devices that
are waiting for access permission are listed as pending devices.
