Connections; Priority Of Sources; Ethernet; Speakers - Bang & Olufsen Playmaker Manual

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*
iTunes* , Windows Media Player or
2
other apps for AirPlay and DLNA.
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.
*For more information about the
1
BeoPlayer app, see: www.bang-
olufsen.com/beoplayer-application.
*iTunes version 10.1 (Mac or PC)
2
or higher is required.

Connections

To access the connection panel,
remove the back cover, see
'How to get started' for more
information. The product label
is placed inside the back cover.

Priority of sources:

1. AirPlay
2. DLNA* 3
3. Sources connected to line-in
, Starting a source with higher
®
priority will always interrupt a
source with lower priority. A
source with higher priority must be
stopped to start a source with
lower priority. Sources with the
, same priority cannot interrupt each
1
other. Therefore the playing source
must be stopped to start a source
with the same priority.
