When an Internet connection is made, wired and
wireless connections cannot be used at the same time.
Use only one of the connection types (See page 53).
It is recommended that the wireless LAN adapter be
connected to the USB1 terminal on the rear of this
player. (When you insert or remove a wireless LAN
adapter, be sure to turn the main power off and make
sure that “Quick Start” is set to “No” (See page 51).)
When using the wireless LAN adapter in the rear USB1
terminal, insure that no video/audio cables or other
AC power cords are placed close to or on the wireless
LAN adapter as this may interfere with the wireless
LAN signal strength and limit LAN connection quality.
Try to provide as much free space around the device
for best performance. If this is not possible, insert the
adapter into the USB2 terminal on the front side.
CAUTION
When using a broadband Internet connection, a contract
with an Internet service provider is required. For more
details, contact your nearest Internet service provider.
Refer to the operation manual of the equipment you have
as the connected equipment and connection method may
differ depending on your Internet environment.

performance, distance, obstacles, interference by other
radio devices, etc.).
Set the wireless router/access point to Infrastructure mode.
