questions about such content, please contact the

producer of the disc.

y Some internet contents may require a higher

bandwidth connection.

y Even if the player is properly connected and

congured, some internet contents may not

operate properly because of internet congestion,

the quality or bandwidth of your internet service,

or problems at the provider of the content.

y Some internet connection operations may not

be possible due to certain restrictions set by the

Internet service provider (ISP) supplying your

broadband Internet connection.

y Any fees charged by an ISP including, without

limitation, connection charges are your

responsibility.

y A 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required

network trafc.

y 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 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.
