Chapter 7: Using the THINC™ home network feature

The Toshiba Home Interactive Network Connection

(THINC™) feature allows you to connect the TV to your home network, which will enable access to file sharing features.

•File sharing

You can access JPEG and MP3 files that are stored on your networked home PC and view/play them on the TV.

Note: Requires a home network* (- Installation Guide). Does NOT require Internet/e-mail service.

Follow the steps in sections A through D (- pages 45–49) to set up and use the TV’s home network features.

*The THINC™ home network feature is compatible only with Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and the Home and Professional versions of Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2.

Microsoft and Windows are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

A. Connecting the TV to your home network

1 Connect the TV to your home network via the TV’s RJ-45 (Ethernet) port. See Installation Guide for connection instructions.

2 Go to section B, “Setting up the network address,” at right.

For home network troubleshooting tips, see Chapter 9.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

B. Setting up the network address

To set up the network address:

1 First, try automatically setting up the network address (below).

2 If the automatic setup is not successful, you can either retry the automatic setup (below) or try manually setting up the network address (- page 46).

Note:

•If you used an Ethernet crossover cable to connect your PC directly to the TV, you will not be able to use the automatic setup, and must manually set up the network address.

•If you used a hub or switch to connect the TV to your home network, you will not be able to use the automatic setup, and must manually set up the network address.

•If you used a router with built-in DHCP functionality, use the automatic setup. Manual setup may not work.

Router technology, like all new and emerging technology, may from time to time cause compatibility issues because of the differences in router systems implemented by the various router manufacturers; however, most issues can be easily resolved. If you think your Toshiba TV and router might have compatibility problems, please contact the following:
