Connectivity

Sharing content with DLNA Certified™ devices
You can view or play media content saved to your device on other devices such as,
for example, a TV, or a computer. Such devices must be DLNA Certified™ by the
Digital Living Network Alliance and all devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi®
network in order for content to be shared. You can also view or play content from
other DLNA Certified™ devices on your device.
After you set up the sharing of content 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.

Preparing to play content 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.
