• Set the distance between this unit and Wireless
Receiver within 10 m (32 ft.).
• Optimum performance can be implemented
only when the Wireless Transmitter and the
Wireless Receiver within distance of 2 m (6 ft.) to
10 m (32 ft.) is used since communication failure
may occur if longer distance is used.
• Be sure to match the speaker cable to the
appropriate terminal on the components: + to +
and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound
will be distorted and will lack bass.
• It takes a few seconds (and may take longer) for
the Wireless Transmitter and Wireless Receiver to
communicate with each other.
Be sure to attach the ferrite core to the speaker
cable (for connecting to this unit and wireless
receiver). This ferrite core can reduce noises.

Connecting to your
Home Network
This player 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, Home Link, 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 (CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector).
In the example con guration for wired
