10. Using the “Play To”
feature in Windows 7
Windows 7 includes a feature called “Play To” and this
lets your PC running Windows 7 control the WLD+211 to
push media and use the PC as a universal remote
control for your media collection.
The WLD+211 supports the industry standard DLNA
(Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5 digital media
renderer. This allows you to "Play To" other devices
around your home and combine media streaming with
controlling a connected media receiver while streaming
content to it from another Windows 7 PC on a home
network. Before you can use the “Play To” feature you
need the set-up the WLD+211 for Windows 7 streaming
media. See page 20.
