Wireless Playback on a DLNA-Compatible Device
If you have a DLNA-compatible player, such as an HDTV, on your home 
network, you can watch your recordings* wirelessly. In such case, the 
camcorder acts as a digital media server (DMS) and the HDTV acts as 
a digital media player (DMP). From the HDTV, you can easily search for 
recordings in the camcorder and play them back.
* Many DLNA players do not support playback of MP4 movies.
POINTS TO CHECK
• If you have not done so already, complete the Wi-Fi network setup  (A 165) in advance.
General requirements
• An HDTV or other media player certified as a DLNA  Digital Media Player (DMP), correctly configured 
and connected to the network. We recommend 
using a LAN cable to connect the HDTV or media player. Look for the 
DLNA Certified logo on the HDTV and refer to the instruction manual of 
the HDTV for details on connecting it to the network.
Operating modes:
1 Set the camcorder to playback mode and then press  .
2 Camcorder: Touch [  Wi-Fi] and then touch [DLNA Media  Server].
• If the memory card slot cover is open, the option will not be available. Make sure the cover is closed properly.

NOTES
• Playback may not appear smooth depending on the wireless router's  settings and capability. In such case, try the following.
- Remove any objects between the camcorder and wireless access 
point that may interfere with the wireless signal.
- Move the camcorder closer to the wireless access point.
- Turn off the wireless functions of other wireless devices other than the  DLNA-compatible device being used for playback.
- Switch the wireless access point to IEEE 802.11n and activate  channel bonding. Refer to its instruction manual for details.
If these do not improve playback, the cause may be due to conditions 
unique to the surrounding area. Use the supplied HDMI cable to 
connect the camcorder to the device.
