the internal wireless module.
By connecting the unit to a broadband home
network, you have access to services such as
software updates, BD-Live interactivity and online
content services.
Wired network connection
Using a wired network provides the best
performance, because the attached devices
connect directly to the network and are not subject
to radio frequency interference.
Please refer to the documentation for your network
device for further instructions.
Connect the player’s LAN port to the corresponding
port on your Modem or Router using a
commercially available LAN or Ethernet cable.

For the purpose of the better transmission,
placing the player from the access point as close
as possible.
y
In some instances, placing the access point or
wireless router at least 0.45 m (1.5 ft.) above the
oor may improve the reception.
y
Move closer to the access point if possible or re-
orient the player so there is nothing between it
and the access point.
y
The reception quality over wireless depends on
many factors such as type of the access point,
distance between the player and access point,
and the location of the player.
