6 Using the "Play To" feature in
Windows 7 to stream media

feature called "Play To" and this lets your PC run-
ning Windows 7 control R4 to push media.
R4 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 R4 for Windows 7 streaming media.
