Using Home Network Features
With this TV, you can enjoy contents stored in
DLNA-compatible devices on the home
network.
Devices that store and provide contents, such
as photo/music/video files, are called “server.”
The TV receives the photo/music/video files
from the server via the network, and you can
enjoy them on the TV even in other rooms.
To enjoy the home network, a DLNA-
compatible device (VAIO, Cyber-shot, etc.) is
necessary as a server.
In addition, when you connect your TV to the
Internet, you can enjoy displaying a
photograph that shows its location on the map
(page 25).
~
• You will need to contract with an Internet service
provider to connect to the Internet.
