Picture or sound sometimes stops or is distorted
c The network bandwidth (the amount of data that the network can carry in a particular span of
time) may not be sufficient.
Check the following items:
• Does the network cable support 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX?
• Does the hub or router support 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX?
• Does the wireless LAN access point support IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g?
c The bandwidth of a wireless LAN changes according to the placement of the Network Media
Receiver and access point. Place them as close together as possible, and eliminate obstacles.
c The connected computer or network may be operating under a high traffic load.
c If an antivirus program or similar software is currently scanning the files on the computer, the
load on the computer system will be increased. Stop virus scanning before using the Network
Media Receiver, or do not use the Network Media Receiver during virus scanning.
Video playback suffers from dropped frames
c If a wireless LAN is used for connection to the computer, perform either of the following:
• Adjust the position of the antenna on the rear of the Network Media Receiver.
• Place the Network Media Receiver closer to the wireless access point.
A screen saver image is shown on the TV
c In order to protect the picture tube of the TV, the Network Media Receiver automatically
activates a screen saver if no operation has been carried out for more than 15 minutes while
displaying a menu or playing music. This is by design. When you press a button on the remote
control, the screen will come back on.
Do not leave a menu displayed for long periods to avoid adverse effects on the TV picture tube.
