Wireless data connection
If a wired connection is not possible, connect the media center to a wireless game adapter or wireless bridge manufactured by the same company as your wireless router, see figure 54. An Internet connection is not required for PC Link.
!You must use the Ethernet port on the rear of the media center. A USB to Ethernet connection is not supported.
Getting connected
Adding components
To add components to the TV connected to the media center, such as a DVD player or VCR, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for
each device. For digital VCRs, see Archiving to a VCR or DVCR on 7 page 50.
For other additional components, use a secondary connection to the TV. Do not interrupt the primary signal from the media center to the TV (see figure 55). If the content is protected by digital copyright pro- tection systems, the picture on the additional component may appear distorted or not at all.
