NetAV
NetAV is the name of the process that is used to transmit video output from the Base Station to a LocationFree®
client device such as the PSP
using a public wireless LAN service such as a hotspot.
Routers
A router is a type of network device that allows users to connect multiple PCs or other devices for simultaneous
access to the Internet using a single Internet connection. DSL modems and other network devices often include the
same functions as a router. For details about how to use your router, please refer to its instructions.
UPnP
UPnP, short for "Universal Plug and Play", is a system that allows users to connect devices such as PCs and audio/
video equipment to each other via a network. To access your Base Station and view TV or video on the PSP
system from outside the home, it is recommended that you use a router that supports UPnP.
If you use a router that does not support UPnP, you will need to enter advanced settings for the Base Station and
the LocationFree® Player (1 page 24, 1 page 25). To determine whether your router is UPnP compatible, refer
to the instructions supplied with your router.

Notes
• You need to do this setup before you go out.
• A contract or application may be required to connect
to the Internet at some locations.
Checking Your Internet
Connection
To watch TV or video away from home, be sure
to connect the Base Station to the Internet.
z Tips
• To use the NetAV function to watch TV or video
away from home, we recommend that the
connection to the Base Station be broadband with
upload and download speeds of at least 300 kbps.
Contact your Internet service provider for more
information about the speed of your
communications line.
• The faster line speeds you use, the better picture
quality you get when you watch TV or video using
N e t AV.
Getting Started
Notes
• Depending on your Internet service provider, you
may not be able to connect multiple devices, such as
the Base Station and PCs to the router at the same
time. For more information, contact your service
provider.
• To determine what kind of network cable to use,
refer to the instructions supplied with your router,
cable modem, or DSL modem.
• For details on setting up the connection, refer to the
instructions supplied with your router, cable modem,
or DSL modem. If you have any questions, contact
your service provider.
• Further information about configurations is also

Setting to Watch TV or Video
If NetAV Check is Incomplete
Away from Home
You need to complete the NetAV check before
you go out.
Make sure that the NET AV LED (LF-V30) or the
SETUP MODE/NETAV LED (LF-B20/LF-B10)
goes off. If it is lit, you need to perform the
NetAV check.
z Tip
LF-V30/LF-B20/LF-B10 have the automatic NetAV
check function. However, you can also perform the
NetAV check manually from the [Base Station
Settings] page on the Base Station. The NetAV check
tests the setting of your Base Station and your router to
watch video away from home.
Open the [Base Station Settings] screen on your PSP
system, and then select [NetAV Check], referring to
"Base Station Settings" (1 page 25).
Read the instructions on the NetAV Check screen
and configure the necessary settings.
To complete the NetAV check without modifying
the advanced settings such as the port forwarding
setting for the router, the router must be UPnP
(Universal Plug & Play) compatible and the
UPnP function of the router must be enabled.
Refer to the instructions supplied with your
router and confirm the settings.
If your router is not UPnP compatible, you prefer
not to use the UPnP function of the router, or if
you tried to use the UPnP function but the setup
was unsuccessful, port forwarding needs to be set
on the router.
®
The settings for port forwarding may vary
depending on the router in use. For details, refer
to the instructions supplied with your router.
z Tips
• Port forwarding is a function that allows network
communications with your router to be forwarded
directly to your network device (such as a PC or a
® system). It may also be called "Port Mapping",
PSP
"Address Change" or other names. To connect to the
LocationFree® Base Station from outside your
home using port forwarding, you must adjust the
settings for the router to allow the data connection
received by the router over the Internet to get
through to the Base Station port (initial setting: 5026
(LF-V30), 5024 (LF-B20/LF-B10)).
• It is necessary to set the Base Station’s IP address to
activate the port forwarding setting on the router. For
details, refer to the instructions supplied with your
router and the Operating Instructions supplied with
the Base Station.
• Some UPnP-compatible routers are only compatible
with specific messenger services and games. For
such a router, set port forwarding.
