What is the LocationFree Base Station? What is the LocationFree Base Station? What is LocationFree? LocationFree allows you to watch TV programs or recorded video from any room in your home, or even away from home. You can transmit video from a Base Station which is connected to a DVD recorder (or other devices) to a device such as a computer, PSP® or LocationFree TV Box via a wireless network or the Internet. You can also operate the device (e.g., record/playback/stop) from remote sites. What is the LocationFree Base Station? The functions of the LocationFree Base Station To make use of LocationFree, you need a device called the LocationFree Base Station. If you connect video devices such as a DVD Recorder, VCR or set-top box to the Base Station, it will be able to stream the video content over the wireless network to LocationFree devices. With the Base Station placed in a central room in your house, you can then enjoy video from anywhere in your home, on your computer installed with the LocationFree Player, or on other devices which have the LocationFree client feature. You can also watch video while you are away from home, by connecting the LocationFree Base Station LF-B20/LF-B10 to the Internet via a router. You can make a connection over the Internet from your computer to your LocationFree Base Station LF-B20/LF-B10, via a hotspot (a public wireless access point, such as can be found in cafes) or a 3G network. The Base Station LF-B20/LF-B10 will provide you with the video content from devices connected to the Base Station, wherever you are. Finally, if you do not have a home wireless network, you can use the LocationFree Base Station LF-B20 as a wireless access point for your home, so you can connect your computer or other devices to a home wireless network.

If the test failed, the SETUP MODE/NET AV LED lights amber. If the SETUP MODE/NET AV LED does not light, you can connect to the Base Station away from home without any settings.
