Network setup

Connecting to the network

To enjoy internet services, you need to connect the TV to a router with a high speed connection to the internet. You can also connect the TV to your Home network server through a router or access point. The TV connection to the router can either be wired or wireless.

NOTE

If you choose a wired connection to the router, you need an ETHERNET cable (commercially available).

If you do not have a broadband internet connection, consult the store where you purchased your TV or ask your internet service provider or telephone company.

An Ethernet and wireless connection cannot be used at the same time. Use only one of the connection types.

A wireless LAN connection and performance cannot be guaranteed for all residential environments. In the following cases, the wireless LAN signal may be poor or drop, or the connection speed may become slower.

When used in buildings made with concrete, reinforced steel, or metal

When placed near objects that obstruct the signal

When used with other wireless devices that emit the same frequency

When used in the vicinity of microwave ovens and other devices that emit a magnetic field, electrostatic charge, or electromagnetic interference

A stable connection speed is required to play back streaming content. Use an Ethernet connection if the wireless LAN speed is unstable.

Wired installation

Use an ETHERNET cable to connect the ETHERNET terminal on the TV to your broadcast router as shown below. This is recommended when enjoying services which require stable connection speeds, such as streaming media.
