DLNA media streaming
You can also stream audio to your R5 from a Digital Living
Network Alliance (DLNA) compatible media server. This is
where you browse for music on the server itself and play it
through your R5. There are many apps available for Mac,
iOS, Linux, Android, Windows phone, etc that will turn your
smartphone, tablet or laptop into a DLNA media server.
Windows Media Player even has a 'Play to' function built in
that allows you to stream music stored on your computer
directly to your R5.
With DLNA media streaming, your R5 functions as a Digital
Media Renderer (DMR) so you browse for music on your
smartphone or laptop and then stream it to your R5 over your
network.
Your R5 will automatically change to DMR mode when you
select your R5* as your chosen player – DMR is not a mode
that can be selected using the SOURCE key.
Similarly, all the Now playing information will be controlled by
the server so there are no settings you can change.
For more details refer to the documentation for your device or
app or visit www.ruarkaudio.com/support.

DLNA media streaming requires that your R5 is connected
to your network so we recommend that you set it to keep
network connected. See system settings section.
