Using Home Network Features

With this TV, you can enjoy contents stored in DLNA-compatible devices on the home network.

Devices that store and provide contents, such as photo/music files, are called “server”. The TV receives the photo/music files from the server via the network, and you can enjoy them on the TV even in other rooms.

To enjoy the home network, a DLNA- compatible device (VAIO, Cyber-shot, etc.) is necessary as a server.
