The SC15 can use Chromecast to connect directly to a music service that supports Chromecast, such as Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, or TuneIn Radio. The music is streamed direct to the SC15; once set up you can use your phone to make calls, or play other audio.
With a phone, tablet, or Mac/PC you can also play the audio wirelessly to the SC15, using Bluetooth or AirPlay (iOS only), so the sound from any apps you run on your device will be played through the SC15.
Although you can stream music over Wi-Fi, for best results connect the SC15 to your home router via an Ethernet cable. If necessary, use the Google Home app to configure the network settings on your SC15.
