12.5 Playing media through your network using DLNA

DMR

The media player also has the option to function as a DLNA slave. This means the

media player functions as a digital media receiver. Using this function, it is not

necessary to turn on you television to play media. For example: If your media player is

connected to your receiver, you can actually control the media player using another

device which has a DLNA control point function. This way, you will be able to give a

command to the media player which let’s the media player play your music without the

need to turn on your television.

Many devices these days can be used as control point. Windows Media player is able

to do so, also are many smart phones such as Apples iPhone and Android smart

phones. As example we will explain how to use the DLNA DMR function with Windows

Media Player 12. Windows Media Player 12 needs to be set as a UPnP server (see

chapter 12.2)
