Checking the wireless LAN environment of your home network

Internet
Wireless LAN router/access point
The unit
Depending on your home network environment, the
wireless LAN router/access point may have been set up such that it cannot be connected using WPS, even though it is compatible with WPS. For details on whether your wireless LAN router/access point is compatible or not compatible with WPS, and on the setup of a WPS connection, refer to the operating manual supplied with your wireless LAN router/access point.
You may encounter setup difficulties if the system and
the wireless LAN router/access point are located too far from each other. If you do, move the devices closer to each other.
Network connections
Server
You need the following environment to use the Home Network, Music Service, and PARTY STREAMING functions. Confirm your environment in advance.
A wireless LAN home network environment must be available. (Make sure that a wireless LAN router is used.)
A device that can be used as a server (a computer, etc.) must be connected to your wireless LAN home network*.
Internet access must be available. (When you want to listen to music services.)
* For details on servers that are compatible with this
system, see page 37.
There are several connecting methods you can use to set up a wireless network: searching for an access point, using a WPS connecting method (either the push-button method or the PIN code method), or manual setting. Select the connection method that can be used for your home network using the chart on page 22.
Notes
Make sure not to use the wireless LAN function where
medical equipment (such as a pacemaker) is used or where the use of wireless communication is prohibited.
Before connecting to your home network, you need to
prepare a wireless LAN router/access point. For details, refer to the operating manual supplied with the device.
