Playing files on a Digital Media Renderer device
Using DLNA™ technology, you can push media content saved on your device to
another device connected to the same
Wi-Fi®
network. The other device must be
able to function as a Digital Media Renderer (DMR) device, which means that it can
render, or play, content received from your device. A DMR device can be, for
example, a TV with DLNA function, or a PC running Windows® 7 or higher.
The settings for enabling the Digital Media Renderer may vary depending on the device used.
Refer to the user guide for the respective device for more detailed information.
