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.

NFC
Use Near Field Communications (NFC) to share data with other devices, such as a
video, photo, web page address, music file or contact. You can also use NFC to scan
tags that give you more information about a product or service as well as tags that
activate certain functions on your device.
NFC is a wireless technology with a maximum range of one centimetre, so the
devices sharing data must be held close to each other. Before you can use NFC, you
must first turn on the NFC function, and the device's screen must be active.
NFC may not be available in all countries and/or regions.
To turn on the NFC function
