Connecting to your 
Home Network
This player can be connected to a local area 
network (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear

By connecting the unit to a broadband home 
network, you have access to services such 
as software updates, Home Link, BD-LIVE 
interactivity and streaming services.
Wired network connection
Using a wired network provides the best 
performance, because the attached devices 
connect directly to the network and are not 
subject to radio frequency interference.
Please refer to the documentation for your 
network device for further instructions.
Connect the player’s LAN port to the 
corresponding port on your Modem or Router 
using a commercially available LAN or Ethernet 
cable (CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector).
