Internet connection
This player can be connected to a local area net-
work (LAN) via the LAN port on the rear panel.
After making the physical connection the player
needs to be set up for network communication. This
is done from the [Setup] menu — see “[NETWORK]
Menu” on page 22 for detailed instructions.
Connect the player’s LAN port to the corresponding
port on your Modem or Router using a LAN cable.
Use a commercially available straight LAN cable
(Category 5/CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector).
By connecting the unit to a broadband home net-
work, you have access to services such as software
updates, BD-Live interactivity, and streaming ser-
vices such YouTube, etc.
Cautions:
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.
Do not connect a modular phone cable to the
LAN port.
Since there are various connection configura-
tions, please follow the specifications of your
telecommunication carrier or internet service
provider.
