Interactive TV

benefits of Interactive TV. Systems such as HbbTV, MHP, etc use

the Internet to communicate with the TV.

Wi-Fi MediaConnect

With Wi-Fi MediaConnect you can bring up (project) your PC

screen on the TV screen wirelessly. You start Wi-Fi

MediaConnect from your PC.

What you need

To connect the TV to a home network and the Internet, you

need a router in your home network. The router must be set to

DHCP server on. Use a router with a high-speed (broadband)

connection to the Internet. You can connect the TV wirelessly or

wired.

If you use a wired connection to the router you need a network

(Ethernet) cable.

The TV uses a DLNA-certified protocol. You can use a computer

with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, Intel Mac

OSX or Linux as the operating system.

Find your PC files

To select your PC files on screen, you need recent media server

software on your computer, like Windows Media Player 11 or

similar. To find your files on the TV, some media server software

must be set up to share the PC files with the TV.

Find the list of supported media server software in Help >

Specifications > Multimedia.

Wireless installation

Switch on your router before you start the network installation.

To start the wireless network installation, press

h, select Setup

screen.

WPS - Wi-Fi Protected Setup

If your router has WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), go to the

router and press the WPS button. Return to the TV within 2

minutes, select WPS and press OK. The TV connects to your

network. This takes about 2 minutes. Finish the installation.

Most new wireless routers have the WPS system and carry the

WPS logo. The WPS system uses WPA security encryption and

cannot be combined with devices on your network that use the

WEP security encryption. If you still need this WEP device in

your network, install with Scan > Standard.

Scan for routers

If you have several routers in your network, you can select the

network you need. To select a specific network router, press

Scan on the first page of the installation. The routers with WPS

and with the strongest signal are shown first in the list.

Select the router you need and press WPS if the router has

WPS. Or press Pin code if you can enter the PIN code in your

router software to connect. Or press Standard to enter the

encryption key manually.

PIN code

To make the secured connection with a PIN code, select PIN

code and press OK. Write down the 8-digit PIN code shown

and enter it in the router software on your PC. See the router

manual where to enter the PIN code.

Standard

To enter the encryption key (the security key) manually, select

Standard and press OK. If you have WPA security on your

router, enter the passphrase with the remote control. To open

the on-screen keyboard, select the text entry field and press OK.

If you have WEP security encryption, the TV asks for the WEP

encryption key in hexadecimal numbers. Find this hexadecimal key

in the router software on your PC. Write down the first key of

the WEP keys list and enter it on TV with the remote control. If

the security key is accepted, the TV is connected with the

wireless router.
