Chapter 3 - Enabling broadband Internet entertainment

If you have a broadband Internet connection (min. 256 kbps), you can stream Internet radio stations and movie trailers live from the Internet to the SL400i for free. Broadband internet also provides the on-line upgrades for the SL400i.

The Internet entertainment offering is constantly being improved and new functions are added.

Visit www.philips.com/streamium for the latest possibilities.

3.1 How does your computer connect to the Internet?

Option A: With a wired broadband Internet connection:

INTERNET

This applies to both a wired and a wireless connection between your PC and the SL400i.

If you have a PC with a wired broadband Internet connection, you will have to make that Internet connection available to the wireless (or wired) network that connects to the SL400i.

To do this, install router/gateway software on the PC for bridging the broadband Internet connection to the wireless or wired network.

As an example we have included a chapter on page 46-50 of the extended User Manual on the Philips Media Manager CD on how to enable Internet Connection Sharing from your Microsoft®Windows® operating system. For Microsoft® and other operating systems, third party router/gateway software is readily available on the market.

For more information on sharing an Internet connection, read the documentation that came with the software or with your operating system.

>After bridging the internet connection to your wireless (or wired) network, you will be able to use the SL400i to access the Internet just like your computer.

or		Option B: Through a wireless base station:

Wireless base stations (and wired internet gateway routers) share their broadband Internet access automatically within the network.

> The SL400i will be able to access the Internet just like your other wireless or wired network computer(s).

INTERNET

This also applies to a wired

connection between your

internet gateway router

and the SL400i.
