Tips for Network Setup
• Modem reconfiguration may cause 
network connection problems. If 
it does, turn off the modem and 
disconnect it from the product; then 
turn on the modem again. It will be 
working normally.
• LG Electronics is not responsible for 
any Internet connection problems, or 
any failure, error or malfunction due 
to your Internet connection.
• The network connection may not 
be working properly because of the 
Internet Service Provider (ISP).
• DSL service requires a DSL modem, 
and cable service requires a cable 
modem. Internet connections may be 
limited due to an agreement with an 
Internet service provider (ISP) and 
the Laser TV may not be connected 
to a network. (When only one device 
is allowed per line and a PC is 
already connected, other devices are 
not available for use.)
• The wireless network may be 
affected by interference from a device 
that uses 2.4 GHz frequency, such 
as a wireless telephone, Bluetooth 
device or microwave. Interference 
may also be caused by a device that 
uses 5 GHz frequency such as Wi-Fi 
devices.
• The wireless network service may 
run slowly depending on surrounding 
wireless environment.
• Some devices may have network 
traffic jam if any of local home 
networks is turned on.
• To connect to a wireless router, 
a router that supports wireless 
connection is necessary; the 
wireless connection function of 
the corresponding router must 
also be activated. Ask the router 
manufacturer whether the router 
supports wireless connection.
• To connect to a wireless router, verify 
the SSID and security settings of 
the wireless router. Please refer to 
the user guide of the corresponding 
router regarding SSID and security 
settings of the wireless router.
• The Laser TV may not slow down 
or malfunction if network devices 
(wire/wireless router or hub, etc.) are 
incorrectly set up. Be sure to install 
the devices correctly by referring to 
their user guides before configuring 
the network connection.
• When Ad-hoc is used, it may not be 
able to connect depending on the 
device (for example, laptop) that is 
connected.
• The connection method may vary 
according to the manufacturer of the 
wireless router.

supported for a router that does 
not support multi-cast. For more 
information, refer to the user guide 
that came with your router or contact 
to the manufacturer.

• When viewing video subtitles on a 
DLNA server, we recommend that 
you use SmartShare PC Software.
• When a subtitle file is added later, 
disable the shared folder and then 
enable it again.
• The DRM file and document file in the 
DLNA server are not played.
