Network Connection
Your Blu-ray disc player can be connected to your home network:
•
By connecting an Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET jack on the rear of your player and to a wired hub or router. Using
a wired network provides the best performance, because the attached devices connect directly to the network and are
not subject to radio frequency interference.
•
By connecting through the built-in wireless device and a wireless access point or router.
Connecting your player to a wired router:
•
Connect an Ethernet cable (CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector) to the
and to an Ethernet jack on a hub or broadband router.

Connecting your player to a wireless access point or router:
Your Blu-ray disc player has an integrated Wi-Fi device and antenna. No physical connection to the wireless router is
necessary.
•
Confi gure your player to access the wireless access point or router. For more information, see "Confi guring a wireless
Internet connection" on page 28.
•
The network confi guration and connection method may vary depending on the equipment in use and the network
environment. Your Blu-ray disc player is equipped with an IEEE 802.11n wireless module, which also supports the
802.11 a/b/g/n standards. For the best wireless performance, we recommend using an IEEE 802.11n certifi ed Wi-Fi
network (access point or wireless router).

Notes:
•
You must use a wireless IP sharer that supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n.
(n is recommended for stable operation of the wireless network.)
•
Wireless LAN, in its nature, may cause interference, depending on the
use condition (AP performance, distance, obstacle, interference by
other radio devices, etc.).
•
Set the wireless IP sharer to Infrastructure mode. Ad-hoc mode is not
supported.
•
When applying the security key for the AP (wireless IP sharer), only
the following is supported.
1) Authentication Mode : WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
2) Encryption Type : WEP, TKIP, AES
