Chapter 2 Setting Up the Player

If the Player is set up to join an already existing wireless network, go to “Setting Up the Media Buddy” on page 18.

If the Player is set up to wirelessly connect to a single computer only (ad hoc con- nection), see the computer’s documentation to set up the computer to connect.

Setting up the Wireless Connection

After connecting the Player to a television/stereo, the wireless connection must be set up to share the digital media between the computer and the Player.

There are two ways to do this, depending on whether or not there is a wireless net- work already in use. If a wireless network already exists, follow the procedure out- lined in “Connecting to an Existing Wireless Network,” below. If no wireless net- work exists, follow the procedure outlined in “Connecting to a Single Computer” on page 16.

Connecting to an Existing Wireless Network

1.Turn on the television and the Player. The following screen appears.

2.After a few moments, the “Login” screen appears. Press Setup on the remote. The “Options” screen appears.
