Sony ST27A, ST27i Bluetooth wireless technology, Playing files on a Digital Media Renderer device

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.
