5: Connecting to the
network

If you have an Internet connection, you can
connect this receiver to the Internet as well,
through the wired LAN connection.

The following system environment is required
to use the network function of the receiver.

A Broadband line connection
A Broadband line connection to the Internet is
required in order to enjoy Internet video or to
use the software update function of the
receiver.

Modem
This is the device that is connected to the
broadband line to communicate with the
Internet. Some of these devices are integrated
with the router.

Router
• Use a router compatible with 100 Mbps to

enjoy content on your home network.

• We recommend that you use a router

equipped with the built-in DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) server.
This function automatically assigns IP
addresses on the LAN.

LAN cable (CAT5)
• We recommend that you use this type of

cable for a wired LAN.
Some flat-type LAN cables are easily
affected by noise. We recommend that you
use normal-type cables.

• If the receiver is used in an environment in

which there is power supply noise from
electric products or in a noisy network
environment, use a shielded-type LAN
cable.
