Connecting a home network
The LAN port allows your Toshiba TV to connect to
your home network. You can use this revolutionary
home entertainment networking system to access
photo, video and audio files that are stored on a
DLNA server and play/display them on your TV. For
supported formats, see page 53.
Note:
•The TV’s home network connection allows
access to file sharing only. You will NOT be
able to use the TV to access the Internet.
•If you use a hub or switch to connect the
TV to your home network, you may not be
able to use the automatic setup and have to
manually set up the network address. See
page 55.
•If you use a router with built-in DHCP
functionality, use the automatic setup.
Manual setup may not work.
•If you connect the TV and PC directly, use
Ethernet crossover cable.
Note:
•The PC audio input terminals on the TV are shared
with the HDMI-1 analog audio input terminals (
page 50).
•Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.
•An adapter is not needed for computers with a
compatible mini D-sub15-pin terminal.
•Depending on the DVD’s title and the
specifications of the PC on which you are playing
the DVD-Video, some scenes may be skipped or
you may not be able to pause during multi-angle
scenes.
