Internet connection

This player can be connected to a local area network (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear panel. After making the physical connection the player needs to be set up for network communication. This is done from the [Setup] menu — see “[NETWORK] Menu” on page 22 for detailed instructions.

Connect the player’s LAN port to the corresponding port on your Modem or Router using a LAN cable. Use a commercially available straight LAN cable (Category 5/CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector).

By connecting the unit to broadband Internet, you can use a disc that offers BD-Live function (see page 28).

Cautions:

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.

Do not connect a modular phone cable to the LAN port.

Since there are various connection configura- tions, please follow the specifications of your telecommunication carrier or internet service provider.
