How To Play Files In DMR On Sony Xperia Z

Learn how to play files in DMR (Digital Media Rendered Device) on your Sony Xperia Z. Using DLNA technology, you can push media content saved on your device to another device connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The other device must be able to function as a Digital Media Renderer (DMR) device, which means that it can render, or play, content received from your device. A DMR device can be, for example, a TV with DLNA function, or a PC running Windows 7 or higher.

Note: The settings for enabling the Digital Media Renderer may vary depending on the device used.
