Bang & Olufsen Playmaker Manual page 9

Play audio directly from your
hand-held device through
connected, active speakers.
You can connect multiple sources
to your Playmaker, either using
the connection panel or
wirelessly through your
network. However, only one
source can be active at a time.
AirPlay can be used to stream
audio from your iPod touch
iPhone or iPad . Use a DLNA
® ®
certified application to stream
from other hand-held devices
(e.g. Android smartphones).
You can use the BeoPlayer App*
apps for AirPlay and DLNA,
iTunes* 2 or Windows Media Player.
Also, you can connect and listen to
an external audio source, such as
an MP3 player or smartphone via
line-in.
If you use AirPlay or DLNA, you can
play music from anywhere within
local network range. For other
audio sources, use a phono line-in
cable to connect your device to
Playmaker.
