  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.

LAN port.
•  Since there are various connection 
confi gurations, please follow the specifi cations 
of your telecommunication carrier or internet 
service provider.
•  If you want to access content from PCs or DLNA 
servers, this player must be connected to the 
same local area network with them via a router.

Wired Network Setup
Before setting the wired network, you need to 
connect the broadband internet to your home 
network.
If there is a DHCP server on the local area 
network (LAN) via wired connection, this player

resets the current network settings.
4. Use U
/u
/I
/i
 to select the IP mode 
between [Dynamic] and [Static].
Normally, select [Dynamic] to allocate an IP 
address automatically.
NOTE
If there is no DHCP server on the network and you 
want to set the IP address manually, select [Static] 
then set the [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], [Gateway] 
and [DNS Server] using U
/u
/I
/i
 and numerical 
buttons. If you make a mistake while entering a 
number, press CLEAR to clear the highlighted part.

Wireless Network Connection
Another connection option is to use an Access 
Point or a wireless router. In the example 
confi guration for wireless connection below, 
this player would be able to access content 
from either of the PCs.
The network confi guration 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 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) 
certifi ed Wi-Fi network (access point or wireless 
router).
Refer to the setup instructions supplied with 
your access point or wireless router for detailed 
connection steps and network settings.

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.

your local home network. Some devices 
may generate network traffi  c.•  For the purpose of the better transmission, 
place the player as close as possible to the 
access point.
•  In some instances, placing the access point 
or wireless router at least 0.45 m above the 
fl oor may improve the reception.
•  Move closer to the access point if possible 
or re-orient the player so there is nothing 
between it and the access point.
•  The 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.
•  Set your access point or wireless router to 
Infrastructure mode. Ad-hoc mode is not 
supported.
