CONNECTING YOUR TV

Connecting a home network

The LAN port allows your Toshiba TV to connect to
your home network. You can use this revolutionary
home entertainment networking system to access
photo, video and audio files that are stored on a
DLNA CERTIFIED™ server and play/display them on
your TV.
NOTE:
• If you connect to a shared network outside your home, it is
advisable to use a router. Always use DLNA CERTIFIED™
products in private network environments.
• If you use a hub or switch to connect the TV to your home
network, you may not be able to use the automatic setup
and will have to manually set up the network address. See
page 52.
• If you use a router with built-in DHCP functionality, use the
automatic setup. Manual setup may not work.
• If you connect the TV and PC directly, use a crossover LAN
cable.
