Network connection
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. The following connection example explain how to connect to the internet using LAN cable. If you want to access content from PCs or DLNA servers, this recorder must be connected to the same local area net­work with them via a router.
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.

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 recorder 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 recorder and/or the internet connection feature due to communication errors/ malfunctions associated with your broadband internet connection, or other connected equipment.
Some internet contents may require a higher bandwidth
connection.
Even if the recorder is properly connected and config-
ured, 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 possi-
ble due to certain restrictions set by the Internet service provider (ISP) supplying your broadband Internet con­nection.
Any fees charged by an ISP including, without limita-
tion, connection charges are your responsibility.
A10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required for
wired connection to this recorder. If your internet serv­ice does not allow for such a connection, you will not be able to connect the recorder.
You must use a Router to use xDSL service.
ADSL 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 recorder 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 recorder may not be allowed to be connected when a PC is already con­nected.)

cies 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 better transmission, place the
recorder as close as possible to the access point.
In some instances, placing the access point or wireless
router at least 1.5 ft (0.45m) above the floor may improve the reception.
Move closer to the access point if possible or re-orient
the recorder 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 recorder and access point, and the loca­tion of the recorder.
ADSL 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 recorder or you may be limited to the number of devices you can connect at the same time.
