Connecting your player to your home network
To view videos through your player, you must connect your player to your home network using either a wireless or wired connection. Your home network must have broadband Internet access, so that your player can access the Internet when it is connected to your home network. A minimum connection speed of 1.5Mbps is required. However, we recommend using a connection that is 4.0Mbps or faster.
If you’re using a wired connection, follow these steps to connect your player to your network. If you’re using a wireless connection, skip ahead to the next section, “Connecting your player to a power source”.
1Connect one end of a CAT5 ethernet cable to the ethernet jack on your player. (You can purchase an ethernet cables at most stores that sell computer equipment or electronic supplies.)
2Connect the other end of the ethernet cable to your Internet router.
NOTE: If you’re using a wireless connection, you don’t need to connect an ethernet cable, so you can skip this step.
