After you have run the initial setup, you can configure or reconfigure the network connections through the

TV's menu.

Configuring a Wireless Network Connection

The instructions below are for networks that use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to

configure network connections automatically. Most wireless networks use DHCP. If you have a Static IP

network, see the e-Manual for configuration instructions.

To configure the network connection for a network that uses DHCP, follow these steps:

1. Connect your TV to your network as shown in the illustration on page 14.

2. Turn on your TV, and then go to the Network Settings screen. (Menu → Network → Network

Settings)

3. Select Start. The Network function searches for available wireless networks. When done, it displays a

list of the available networks.

4. In the list of networks, move the highlight to select a network, and then select Next.

If you have a WPS(PBC) compatible router, select WPS(PBC) instead, and then follow the

✎

directions on the screen.

5. Enter your network security key or WPS PIN using your remote.

Enter numbers and letters using your remote.

✎

• Enter numbers by pressing the number buttons on your remote.

• To enter a letter, move the Highlight to the letter, and then select it. You can enter numbers in

the same fashion if you choose.

To display capital letters (or redisplay small letters if capital letters are displayed), select Caps or

✎

Shift.

To display symbols and punctuation, select F. To redisplay letters, select F again.

✎

6. When done, select Next if you have entered a security key or WPS PIN if you have entered a WPS PIN.

7. The TV checks the wireless connection. If the connection is successful, the "You are connected to the

Internet. If you have any problems using online services, please contact your Internet Service

Provider." message appears. Select Next using your remote.

For more detailed information, see "Setting up the Wireless Network" in the e-Manual.

✎

If you want to configure the connection manually, select IP Settings on the Network Connection

✎

screen. Set IP Mode to Manual, and then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and

DNS Server manually.
