02 Network connection This player can be connected to a local area network (LAN) via the Ethernet port on the rear panel. Connecting directly to a PC If you only need to use one PC to act as a media server, you can connect this player directly to the PC using the included LAN cable. After making the physical connection the player needs to be set up for network communication. This is done from the Initial Setup menu - see Setting up for network use on page 21 for detailed instructions. For best performance, we recommend using a 100BASE-TX compatible PC and Ethernet hub.
