Sony LocationFree Player for PSP - Manual (Page 4)

What You can Do with the LocationFree® Player
4
You can watch TV or video on the PSP ® (PlayStation
®
Portable) system by using the LocationFree®
Base Station.
With the Base Station placed in a living room for instance, you can enjoy TV or video from anywhere
in your home by using the PSP
® system’s wireless LAN feature.
You can also view the same TV programs or video available in your home on your PSP ® system while
away from home by accessing your Base Station over the Internet.
NetAV
NetAV is the name of the process that is used to transmit video output from the Base Station to a LocationFree®
client device such as the PSP
®
system. By using NetAV, you can view your home TV or video over the Internet
using a public wireless LAN service such as a hotspot.
Routers
A router is a type of network device that allows users to connect multiple PCs or other devices for simultaneous
access to the Internet using a single Internet connection. DSL modems and other network devices often include the
same functions as a router. For details about how to use your router, please refer to its instructions.
UPnP
UPnP, short for "Universal Plug and Play", is a system that allows users to connect devices such as PCs and audio/
video equipment to each other via a network. To access your Base Station and view TV or video on the PSP
®
system from outside the home, it is recommended that you use a router that supports UPnP.
If you use a router that does not support UPnP, you will need to enter advanced settings for the Base Station and
the LocationFree® Player (
1 page 24, 1 page 25). To determine whether your router is UPnP compatible, refer
to the instructions supplied with your router.
