Using a wired network provides the best performance, because the attached devices connect directly to the network and are not subject to radio frequency interference.

Please refer to the documentation for your network device for further instructions.

Connect the player’s LAN port to the corresponding port on your Modem or Router using a commercially available LAN or Ethernet cable (CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector).

In the example configuration for wired connection above, this player would be able to access content from either of the PCs.

If there is a DHCP server on the local area network (LAN) via wired connection, this player will automatically be allocated an IP address. After making the physical connection, small number of home networks ma required the player’s network setting to be adjusted.

Note

When plugging or unplugging the LAN cable, hold the plug portion of the cable. When unplugging, do not pull on the LAN cable but unplug while pressing down on the lock.

Do not connect a modular phone cable to the LAN port.

Since there are various connection configurations, please follow the specifications of your telecommunication carrier or internet service provider.

If you want to access content from PCs or DLNA servers, this player must be connected to the same local area network with them via a router.

Connecting to your Home Network

Notes on Network Connection

Many network connection problems during set up can often be fixed by re-setting the router or modem. After connecting the player to the home network, quickly power off and/or disconnect the power cable of the home network router or cable modem. Then power on and/or connect the power cable again.

Depending on the internet service provider (ISP), the number of devices that can receive internet service may be limited by the applicable terms of service. For details, contact your ISP.

Our company is not responsible for any malfunction of the player and/or the internet connection feature due to communication errors/malfunctions associated with your broadband internet connection, or other connected equipment.

The features of contents made available through the Internet Connection feature are not created or provided by our company, and our company is not responsible for their functionality or continued availability. Some contents related material available by the Internet Connection may not be compatible with this player. If you have questions about such content, please contact the producer of the content.

Some internet contents may require a higher bandwidth connection.

Even if the player is properly connected and configured, some internet contents may not operate properly because of internet congestion, the quality or bandwidth of your internet service, or problems at the provider of the content.

Some internet connection operations may not be possible due to certain restrictions set by the Internet service provider (ISP) supplying your broadband Internet connection.

Any fees charged by an ISP including, without limitation, connection charges are your responsibility.

A 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required for wired connection to this player. If your internet service does not allow for such a connection, you will not be able to connect the player.

You must use a Router to use xDSL service.

A DSL modem is required to use DSL service and a cable modem is required to use cable modem service. Depending on the access method of and subscriber agreement with your ISP, you may not be able to use the internet connection feature contained in this player or you may be limited to the number of devices you can connect at the same time. (If your ISP limits subscription to one device, this player may not be allowed to connect when a PC is already connected.)

The use of a IRouterI may not be allowed or its usage may be limited depending on the policies and restrictions of your ISP. For details, contact your ISP directly.

The wireless network operate at 2.4 GHz radio frequencies that are also used by other household devices such as cordless telephone, Bluetooth® devices, Microwave oven, and can be affected by interference from them.

Turn off all unused network equipment in your local home network. Some devices

may generate network traffic.

For the purpose of the better transmission, placing the player from the access point as close as possible.

In some instances, placing the access point or wireless router at least 0.45 m (1.5 ft) above the floor may improve the reception.

Move closer to the access point if possible or re-orient the player so there is nothing between it and the access point.

The reception quality over wireless depends on many factors such as type of the access point, distance between the player and access point, and the location of the player.
