11. Home media
Your device is compatible with Universal Plug and Play architecture (UPnP). Using
a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point device or a WLAN router, you can create a
home network and connect compatible UPnP devices that support WLAN to the
network, such as your device, a compatible PC, a compatible printer, and a
compatible sound system or TV, or a sound system or TV equipped with a
compatible wireless multimedia receiver.
Using the WLAN function of your device in a home network requires a working
WLAN home connection setup and the other target home devices to be UPnP
enabled and to be connected to the same home network.
The home network uses the security settings of the WLAN connection. Use the
home network feature in a WLAN infrastructure network with a WLAN access
point device and encryption enabled.
You can share media files saved in Gallery with other compatible UPnP devices
through the home network. To define the home network settings, select
>
Home media

Settings
. You can also use the home network to view, play, copy, or
print compatible media files from
Gallery
.
