Connecting to your
home network
This player can be connected to a local area
network (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear panel.
By connecting the unit to a broadband home
network, you have access to services such as
software updates, BD-Live interactivity and on-line
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.
y
When plugging or unplugging the LAN
cable, hold the plug portion of the cable.
When unplugging, do not pull on the LAN
cable but unplug while pressing down on
the lock.
y
Do not connect a modular phone cable to
the LAN port.

Since there are various connection
configurations, please follow the
specifications of your telecommunication
carrier or internet service provider.

compatible digital media servers, this player
must be connected to the same local area
network with them via a router.
