If you have a broadband Internet connection (min. 256 kbps), you can stream Internet radio stations and movie trailers live from the Internet to the SL400i for free. Broadband internet also provides the on-line upgrades for the SL400i.

The Internet entertainment offering is constantly being improved and new functions are added.

3.1 How does your computer connect to the Internet?

This applies to both a wired and a wireless connection between your PC and the SL400i.

If you have a PC with a wired broadband Internet connection, you will have to make that Internet connection available to the wireless (or wired) network that connects to the SL400i.

To do this, install router/gateway software on the PC for bridging the broadband Internet connection to the wireless or wired network.

As an example we have included a chapter on page 46-50 of the extended User Manual on the Philips Media Manager CD on how to enable Internet Connection Sharing from your Microsoft®Windows® operating system. For Microsoft® and other operating systems, third party router/gateway software is readily available on the market.

For more information on sharing an Internet connection, read the documentation that came with the software or with your operating system.

>After bridging the internet connection to your wireless (or wired) network, you will be able to use the SL400i to access the Internet just like your computer.
