What you need
To connect the TV wirelessly to the Internet, you need a
wireless router. Use a high-speed (broadband) connection to
the Internet.
Network devices
The TV can connect to other devices in your wireless network,
like your computer or smartphone. You can use a computer
with Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X.
File sharing
On this TV, you can open photos, music and videos stored on
your computer. Use a recent version of media server software
like Philips MediaManager*, Windows Media Player 11,
Twonky™ or similar.
Install the media server software on your computer and set it up
to share your media files with the TV. Read the manual of the
media server software for more information. This software must
be running on your computer to view or play your files on TV.
* You can download the Philips MediaManager software from
the Philips support site www.philips.com/support
