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.
