What Is Content Share?

Content Share allows you to enjoy videos, music and photos saved on your PC.

Play the content with sharing software on the PC

1. Configure the TV and PC on the same network. Also configure the network on the PC installed with Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.
2. Right-click the desired music, video, or photo file, and select the model using the Play To function provided in Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 to play what is selected.
   
   To play on other devices like your mobile phone, refer to the relevant user guide.

If the computer operating system is Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10, you can play music, video, or photos on your TV without installing an additional program.

Even when multiple TVs or devices are connected, the selected file is played through only one device. The playback rate may vary depending on the network connection.
