Connecting to a network

Your ECM requires a broadband internet connection for getting
media info, playing internet content and for software updates.
A network connection is also required for streaming content
from network attached storage (NAS) and network media share
locations. Your ECM provides two methods of connecting to a
network: Wired network connection (using an Ethernet cable) or
wireless network connection (using the built in wireless adapter).
Wired network connection (Recommended)

A wired connection is recommended whenever possible for speed and stability. The wireless network option
is not used if wired network access is detected.

Connecting media storage

Your ECM can play media from both internal and attached storage devices. The ECM can also play media
files from network sources such as network attached storage (NAS) devices and network media shares.
(Refer to the Network/NAS section under Managing sources for more information on how to access
media from network locations)

USB discs

• Your ECM supports playback of video and audio files stored on external USB disk drives or
USB thumb drives/memory sticks. (Please refer to section for supported file formats for a
complete list of supported file formats) You may connect USB discs or thumb drives to any of the
4 USB inputs on your ECM.
NOTE:

USB devices are read-only. The ECM will never write to your disk in order to prevent data corruption.
USB storage may be removed at all times.
