Connecting
Wired network connection
Using a wired network provides the best performance, because the attached devices connect directly to the network and are not subject to radio frequency interference.
Please refer to the documentation for your network device for further instructions.
Connect the player’s LAN port to the corresponding port on your Modem or Router using a commercially available LAN or Ethernet cable.
,,Note
yy When plugging or unplugging the LAN cable, hold the plug portion of the cable. When unplugging, do not pull on the LAN cable but unplug while pressing down on the lock.
yy Do not connect a modular phone cable to the LAN port.
yy Since there are various connection configurations, please follow the specifications of your telecommunication carrier or internet service provider.
yy If you want to access content from DLNA servers, this player must be connected to the same local area network with them via a router.
yy To set your PC as a DLNA server, install the SmartShare PC Software on your PC. (page 35)

Wired network setup
If there is a DHCP server on the local area network (LAN) via wired connection, this player will automatically be allocated an IP address. After making the physical connection, a small number of home networks may require the player’s network setting to be adjusted. Adjust the [NETWORK] setting as follow.
Preparation
Before setting the wired network, you need to connect the broadband internet to your home network.
