With an MMV-200 plugged into your hi-fi, you simply transfer the sound files from your phone to the sound system via Bluetooth™ and enjoy them through the speakers. It’s just as easy with images. You can share your photos and video clips with friends and family comfortably around the home TV. Simply plug the MMV-200 into the TV and share the shots and footage stored in your phone.
