No network connection

•If using a wired network connection, check to ensure the LAN cables are connected properly (- p. 21).

•Ensure the modem and router power cords are plugged in and the devices are operating properly.

•Ensure your IP address is set up correctly. See Section (- “Setting up the Network”).

•Make sure the TV IP address is on the same subnet as the networked PC.

Example of proper setup: The PC has the IP address 192.168.0.100 with the Subnet mask 255.255.255.0, the TV has the IP address 192.168.0.101 with the Subnet mask 255.255.255.0; both are on the same subnet.

Example of improper setup: The PC has the IP address 192.168.1.100 with the Subnet mask 255.255.255.0, the TV has the IP address 192.168.0.101 with the Subnet mask 255.255.253.0; they are on different sub-nets.

Unstable network connection

•When using a wireless home-network connection:

–Remove AC power from the router and the television for

1 minute.

•Reconnect AC power to the router.

•Reconnect AC power to the television and turn it ON. After 2 minutes, check connection stability.

–Connect with LAN cables, if possible, and check connection stability.
