Connecting to your 
Home Network
This player can be connected to a local area 
network (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear 
panel or the internal wireless module. 
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). 
In the example confi guration for wired 
connection below, this player would be able to 
access content from either of the PCs.

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 only) wireless module, which 
also supports the 802.11b/g standards. For the 
best wireless performance, we recommend 
using a IEEE 802.11n (2.4 GHz band only)

NOTE
For best performance, a direct wired connection 
from your Home theatre to your home network’s 
router or cable/DSL modem is always the best 
option. If your Home theatre is far away from 
your router or cable/DSL modem. Ethernet 
or LAN cables are available at many stores in 
lengths of 15 m and longer. If you do chose to 
use the wireless option, note that performance 
can sometimes be aff ected by other electronic 
devices in the home.
An Access Point is a device that allows you to 
connect to your home network wirelessly. •
