Using Media Share Features - LG STB-3500 Setup Manual

When the appropriate Media Share options are enabled in the IP Environment / Media Share Menu (see
"Accessing the IP Environment Menu" and "Media Share Setup" on pages 57 and 63, as necessary), guests
have the ability to use one or more of the following Media Share features:
• Smart Share: Allows guests to use the STB/display panel to access and view media files (photos, videos,
music, etc.) shared either by wired DLNA Certified devices (the devices must be connected to the same
LAN as the STB) or by wireless LG devices using LG's Smart Share application with Wi-Fi Direct.
• Screen Share: Allows guests to select a Miracast or WiDi capable device, whose screen can be displayed
on the display panel screen.
• Bluetooth Sound Sync: Allows guests to listen to audio from a Bluetooth-enabled mobile device through
the display panel's speakers.
• SoftAP: Allows guests to use the STB as a 2.4 GHz wireless access point for up to five devices.
This section provides an overview of the Smart Share, Screen Share, Bluetooth Sound Sync, and SoftAP
functionality.
Note: Typically, only one Media Share feature may be used at a time. If one feature is
currently in use, you may have to turn it OFF in order to turn ON another. In some cases,
you will be prompted to confirm your action. Follow the display prompts as necessary.
Smart Share
The following steps describe how to access and use the Smart Share feature, either with wired DLNA
Certified devices on the same LAN as the STB or using wireless LG devices/Wi-Fi Direct. If you intend
to connect to an LG device using Wi-Fi Direct, remember that you must also turn ON Wi-Fi Direct and
launch the Smart Share application on the LG device.
1. Turn ON the STB/display panel.
The next step depends on whether you need to turn ON Wi-Fi Direct (i.e., to connect to a wireless LG
device):
• If you do not need to turn ON Wi-Fi Direct, you can proceed directly to step 7.
• Otherwise, press MENU on the Installer Remote to display the STB menus (either the setup menus or
the Function Menu depending on whether the STB is or is not in Pass-through Mode). Then, continue
with step 2.
2. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select/highlight the General menu icon, and then press OK.
3. In the General Menu (see example on following page), use the Up/Down arrow keys to select Wi-Fi
Direct, and then press OK.
Note: If Wi-Fi Direct is currently grayed out, you may need to turn OFF another Media Share feature
in order to use Wi-Fi Direct. For example, make sure that SoftAP is turned OFF. See also note above
regarding simultaneous use of Media Share features.
4. When you initially access the Wi-Fi Direct screen, the OFF/ON toggle button at the top right of the screen
is selected/highlighted by default. If Wi-Fi Direct is currently OFF, press OK on the Installer Remote to
turn Wi-Fi Direct ON. This will prompt the STB to search for all available Wi-Fi Direct enabled wireless
devices, including mobile devices, laptops, etc. Devices found will be listed in the lower half of the screen.
Note: If the search does not initially locate any devices, you can select REFRESH LIST and press OK
to rescan.
