or a wireless router. The network configuration and 
connection method may vary depending on the 
equipment in use and the network environment.
This player is equipped with an IEEE 802.11n (2.4 
GHz band) wireless module, which also supports 
the 802.11b/g standards. For the best wireless 
performance, we recommend using a IEEE 802.11n

Notes on Network Connection:
 y Many network connection problems during 
set up can often be fixed by re-setting the 
router or modem. After connecting the player 
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.
 yDepending 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.
 yOur company is not responsible for any 
malfunction of the player and/or the internet 
connection feature due to communication 
errors/malfunctions associated with your 
broadband internet connection, or other 
connected equipment.
 yThe features of BD-ROM discs made available 
through the Internet Connection feature are not 
created or provided by our company, and our 
company is not responsible for their functionality 
or continued availability. Some disc related 
material available by the Internet Connection 
may not be compatible with this player. If you 
have questions about such content, please 
contact the producer of the disc.
 ySome internet contents may require a higher 
bandwidth connection.
 yEven if the player is properly connected and 
configured, 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.
 ySome internet connection operations may not 
be possible due to certain restrictions set by the 
Internet service provider (ISP) supplying your 
broadband Internet connection.
 yAny fees charged by an ISP including, without 
limitation, connection charges are your 
responsibility.
 yA 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required 
for wired connection to this player. If your 
internet service does not allow for such a 
connection, you will not be able to connect the 
player.
 yYou must use a Router to use xDSL service.
 yA DSL 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

household devices such as cordless telephone, 
Bluetooth® devices, microwave oven, and can be 
affected by interference from them.
 yTurn off all unused network equipment in 
your local home network. Some devices may 
generate network traffic.
 yFor the purpose of the better transmission, 
placing the player from the access point as close 
as possible.
 yIn some instances, placing the access point or 
wireless router at least 0.45 m (1.5 ft.) above the 
floor may improve the reception.
 yMove closer to the access point if possible or re-
orient the player so there is nothing between it 
and the access point.
 yThe reception quality over wireless depends on 
many factors such as type of the access point, 
distance between the player and access point, 
and the location of the player.
 ySet your access point or wireless router to 
Infrastructure mode. Ad-hoc mode is not 
supported.
