What you can do
If you have photos, videos or music files
stored on a computer connected through a
home network, you can play the files on
your TV.
What you need
A wired or wireless home network,
connected with a Universal Plug and
Play (uPnP) router.
A Philips wireless USB adapter or a
LAN cable that connects your TV to
your home network.
A media server such as:
PC running
Windows Media Player 11
or higher; or
Mac running
Twonky Media Server
.
Make sure that your computer firewall
allows you to run the media server
software program.
You will also need to set up the network
connection:
Connect your TV and the computer to
the same home network. See
Connect
your TV > Computers and the
Internet (Page 55).
Switch on your computer and the
router.
Proceed to set up a media sharing server
with Windows Media Player 11 or higher, or
Twonky Media Server.
Note
: For help to use other media servers,
such as TVersity, see the web site of the
