Net TV

Wi-Fi MediaConnect

With Wi-Fi MediaConnect you can bring up (project) your PC screen on the TV screen wirelessly. You start Wi-Fi MediaConnect from your PC.

What you need

To connect the TV to a home network and the Internet, you need a router in your home network. The router must be set to DHCP server on. Use a router with a high-speed (broadband) connection to the Internet. You can connect the TV wirelessly or wired.

If you use a wired connection to the router you need a network (Ethernet) cable.

The TV uses a DLNA-certified protocol. You can use a computer with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, Intel Mac OSX or Linux as the operating system.

Find your PC files

To select your PC files on screen, you need recent media server software on your computer, like Windows Media Player 11 or similar. To find your files on the TV, some media server software must be set up to share the PC files with the TV.

Find the list of supported media server software in Help > Specifications > Multimedia.

Wireless installation

WPS - Wi-Fi Protected Setup

If your router has WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), go to the router and press the WPS button. Return to the TV within 2 minutes, select WPS and press OK. The TV connects to your network. This takes about 2 minutes. Finish the installation.

Most new wireless routers have the WPS system and carry the WPS logo. The WPS system uses WPA security encryption and cannot be combined with devices on your network that use the WEP security encryption. If you still need this WEP device in your network, install with Scan > Standard .

Scan for routers

If you have several routers in your network, you can select the network you need. To select a specific network router, press Scan on the first page of the installation. The routers with WPS and with the strongest signal are shown first in the list.

Select the router you need and press WPS if the router has WPS. Or press Pin code if you can enter the PIN code in your router software to connect. Or press Standard to enter the encryption key manually.

PIN code

To make the secured connection with a PIN code, select PIN code and press OK. Write down the 8-digit PIN code shown and enter it in the router software on your PC. See the router manual where to enter the PIN code.

Standard

To enter the encryption key (the security key) manually, select Standard and press OK. If you have WPA security on your router, enter the passphrase with the remote control. To open the on-screen keyboard, select the text entry field and press OK.

If you have WEP security encryption, the TV asks for the WEP encryption key in hexadecimal numbers. Find this hexadecimal key in the router software on your PC. Write down the first key of the WEP keys list and enter it on TV with the remote control. If the security key is accepted, the TV is connected with the wireless router.

If asked, agree to the End User License Agreement.
