Using Chromecast built-in™ to enjoy audio content from a smartphone or tablet device

You can play back audio/music content selected in a Chromecast-enabled app on a mobile device by activating the Chromecast built-in function. You can also listen to the same music in multiple rooms if you register devices that support the Chromecast built-in function such as the receiver and wireless speakers located in another room, to a group in advance.
For details, refer to the following Chromecast website:
