Sharing content with DLNA Certified™ devices
You can view or play media content saved to your device on other devices such as a
TV or a computer. These devices must be on the same wireless network and can be
Sony TVs or speakers, or products that are DLNA Certified™ by the Digital Living
Network Alliance. You can also view or play content from other DLNA Certified™
devices on your device.
After you set up media sharing between devices, you can, for example, listen to
music files stored on your home computer from your device, or view photos taken
with your device's camera on a large-screen TV.
Playing files from DLNA Certified™ devices on your device
When you play files from another DLNA Certified™ device on your device, this other
device acts as a server. In other words, it shares content over a network. The server
device must have its content sharing function enabled and give access permission to
your device. It also must be connected to the same Wi-Fi® network as your device.

Playing files from your device on DLNA Certified™ devices
Before you can view or play media files from your device on other DLNA Certified™
devices, you must set up file sharing on your device. The devices that you share
content with are called client devices. For example, a TV, computer or tablet can act
as client devices. Your device works as a media server when it makes content
available to client devices. When you set up file sharing on your device, 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.
