Smart and simple

The Wireless Multimedia Adapter is easily installed thanks to a user-friendly step-by-step approach. All the steps needed to install it are displayed on your TV screen. You can add new or updated functionality simply by upgrading the software on line. The Wireless Media Adapter checks via a broadband Internet connection for new software versions.

Wireless convenience

You can access multimedia content from other PCs in your house. The media manager works on most PCs, including older types. So with just one Wireless Media Adapter you can access content on several PCs, and there's no need to copy files across. The 2.4 GHz wireless link between the Multimedia Adapter and the PC means you don't have to lay cables or drill holes through walls.
