to the correct destination. An IP address is usually displayed as numbers
separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.2.

1On the player’s remote control, press STOP, then press SETUP. The Welcom e
to Setup screen opens.
2Highlight Network, then press ENTER.

assign IP addresses and to provide other con figuration
information.
