Connecting to the network
To enjoy internet services, you need to connect the
TV to a router with a high speed connection to the
internet. You can also connect the TV to your Home
network server through a router or access point. The
TV connection to the router can either be wired or
wireless.
NOTE
• If you choose a wired connection to the router, you need
an ETHERNET cable (commercially available).
• If you do not have a broadband internet connection,
consult the store where you purchased your TV or ask
your internet service provider or telephone company.
• An Ethernet and wireless connection cannot be used at
the same time. Use only one of the connection types.
• A wireless LAN connection and performance cannot
be guaranteed for all residential environments. In the
following cases, the wireless LAN signal may be poor or
drop, or the connection speed may become slower.
− When used in buildings made with concrete,
reinforced steel, or metal
− When placed near objects that obstruct the signal
− When used with other wireless devices that emit the
same frequency
− When used in the vicinity of microwave ovens and
other devices that emit a magnetic field, electrostatic
charge, or electromagnetic interference
• A stable connection speed is required to play back
streaming content. Use an Ethernet connection if the
wireless LAN speed is unstable.
Wired installation
Use an ETHERNET cable to connect the ETHERNET
terminal on the TV to your broadcast router as
shown below. This is recommended when enjoying
services which require stable connection speeds,
such as streaming media.
