Configuring a Wired Network Connection

Most home networks use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure network connections. Home networks that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to access the Internet so you don’t have to enter them manually. If your have a Static IP network, see the e-Manual for configuration instructions.

To configure the network connection for a wired network that uses DHCP, follow these steps:

1.Connect your TV to your network as shown in one of the illustrations on page 8.

2.Turn on your TV, press the MENU button on your remote, and then select Network → Network Settings. The Network Settings screen will appear.

3.Select Start, and then press ENTERE button.

4.The Network Connection screen appears, and verifies the network connection. Network set up is complete.

✎✎ If your TV cannot acquire network connection values automatically or if you want to set the connection manually, select IP Settings on the network test screen. Set IP Mode to Manual, and then enter the IP Address, Subnet

Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server manually.

✎✎ For more detailed information, see “Setting the Wired Network” in the e-Manual.
