• A wireless LAN router/access point is required to connect the TV to the Internet using a wireless LAN. See the operation
manual of your access point for setup.
• If your access point is set to a stealth mode (that prevents detection by other devices), you may not be able to establish a

- When placed near objects that obstruct the signal
- When used with other wireless devices that emit the same frequency
- When used in the vicinity of microwave ovens and other devices that emit a magnetic field, electrostatic charge, or
electromagnetic interference
• When there is significant interference in the 2.4-GHz frequency (such as from other wireless LAN devices, Bluetooth
®
devices,
2.4-GHz cordless telephones, and microwave ovens), it is recommended that you use a wireless LAN router/access point that
supports IEEE802.11a/n (5 GHz) and set the access point to transmit at 5 GHz. For setup details, see the operation manual of
your access point.
• For users outside the United States, be sure to select your country before using the wireless LAN function. (See page 59.)
