You can watch content that is already stored on the internal memory of the 4K Media Player.
Some contents are for purchase or rental. You need a Sony Entertainment Network Account to
be able to purchase content in the Video Unlimited 4K service.
Certain content is downloaded via internet connection in the background. You may need
to limit the internet connection bandwidth of the media player in accordance with your
internet usage environment. This kit was made for exclusive use with the Sony 4K Ultra HD TV
XBR-84X900 and certain Sony Front Projector Devices. The 4K Media Player should be paired
with a Sony Xperia Tablet S or Z series for control functionality.
