Connecting to your Home Network

This unit can be connected to a local area network (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear panel or the internal wireless module. By connecting the unit to a broadband home network, you have access to services such as software updates, BD-Live interactivity and streaming services.

Wired network connection

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.

Note

yWhen 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.

yDo not connect a modular phone cable to

the LAN port.

ySince there are various connection

congurations, please follow the specications of your telecommunication carrier or internet service provider.

yIf you want to access content from PCs or

DLNA servers, this unit must be connected to the same local area network with them via a router.

Notes on Network Connection:

yMany network connection problems during

set up can often be xed by re-setting the router or modem. After connecting the player to the home network, quickly power o and/ or disconnect the power cable of the home network router or cable modem. Then power on and/or connect the power cable again.

yDepending 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.

ySome internet content may require a higher

bandwidth connection.

yEven if the player is properly connect and

congured, some internet content may not operate properly because of internet congestion, the quality or bandwidth of your internet service, or problems at the provider of the content.

ySome internet connection operations may not

be possible due to certain restrictions set by the Internet service provider (ISP) supplying your broadband Internet connection.

yAny fees charged by an ISP including, without

limitation, connection charges are your responsibility.

yA 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required

radio frequencies that are also used by other household devices such as cordless telephone, Bluetooth® devices, microwave oven, and can be aected by interference from them.

yTurn o all unused network equipment in

your local home network. Some devices may generate network trac.

yFor the purpose of the better reception place the

player as close as possible to the access point.

yIn some instances, placing the access point or

wireless router at least 0.45 m above the oor may improve the reception.

yMove closer to the access point if possible or re-

orient the player so there is nothing between it and the access point.

yThe 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.
