Connecting a USB drive

The USB port on the Blu-ray player allows you to:

∙Access BD-LiveTMcontent on BD-LiveTMsupported discs (see Accessing BD- LiveTM Content on page 26).

∙Play multimedia files such as pictures and music that are stored on the USB device.

Note: The USB device should be larger than 1GB with at least 1GB of free space and formatted FAT32. NTFS and other file systems are not supported.

Connecting to your home network

Your player has a dual-band 802.11n wireless built-in (which is also compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks), so you can connect your player to the Internet through your wireless home network. Or you can connect to the Internet by plugging in an Ethernet cable (not included) from your Internet connection to the Ethernet port on your player. A wired connection may provide a more consistent connection depending on the conditions in your home environment.

Dual-band means your player operates at both 5GHz and 2.4 GHz. 5GHz is optimized for HD video streaming and 2.4GHz supports all types of data.

The network configuration and connection method may vary depending on the equipment in use and the network environment. This player is equipped with an IEEE 802.11n dual-band wireless module, which also supports the 802.11b/g standards. For the best wireless performance, we recommend using an IEEE 802.11n certified WiFi network (access point or wireless router). Refer to the instructions supplied with your access point or wireless router for detailed connection steps and network settings.

Using a wired (Ethernet) connection

1.Turn on your player and your TV. If a DVD is not in the disc tray, the Home menu will be displayed. If a DVD is in the disc tray, press SETUP to display the Home menu.

2.Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (not included) to the Ethernet port on your player.

3.Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your home network (usually your router). Your home network must have broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL. Your player should automatically get an IP address on the network and display the Connected icon in the upper right hand corner of your TV.

a.A small number of users may need to manually adjust the network settings. See the Network Menu on page 36 for detailed information on configuring your Internet connection.

b.If you need additional help setting up your network, please refer to the user manual for your router or contact the manufacturer of either your router or your Internet service provider if they provided the router for you.
