NetAV

NetAV is the name of the process that is used to transmit video output from the Base Station to devices 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.

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.

Notes

• You need to do this setup before you go out.

• A contract or application may be required to connect to the Internet at some locations.

• To determine what kind of network cable to use, refer to the instructions supplied with your router, cable modem, or DSL modem.

• For details on setting up the connection, refer to the instructions supplied with your router, cable modem, or DSL modem. If you have any questions, contact your service provider.

• Further information about configurations is also available on the following website.

LocationFreeTV FAQ pages:

sony.com/locationfree/faq/

Checking Your Internet

Connection

To watch TV or video away from home, you must first connect the Base Station to the Internet. You can connect the Base Station to the Internet over a DSL line or cable Internet connection.

z

Tips

• To use the NetAV function to watch TV or video away from home, we recommend that the connection to the Base Station be broadband with upload and download speeds of at least 300 kbps.

Contact your Internet service provider for more information about the speed of your communications line.

• The faster line speeds you use, the better picture quality you get when you watch TV or video using

NetAV.

Connecting to the router

Using a network cable (not supplied), connect the

LAN port of the Base Station to your router.

For details, refer to the Operating Instructions document supplied with the LocationFree Base

Station.

Notes

• Depending on your Internet service provider, you may not be able to connect multiple devices, such as the Base Station and several computers. For more information, contact your service provider.

Setting to Watch TV or Video

Away from Home

You need to do this setup before you go out.

When using LF-B20/LF-B10

After you successfully connect the Base Station to your router, your settings to watch video away from your home are automatically created.

For details on connecting the Base Station to your router, or confirming the settings, refer to the

Quick Start Guide or Operating Instructions document supplied with the Base Station.

z

Tip

You can perform the NetAV check that tests the setting of your Base Station and your router to watch video away from home from the [Base Station Settings] page on the Base Station.

Open the [Base Station Settings] screen with your

Internet browser, and then select [NetAV Check],

referring to "Base Station Settings" (

1 page 25).

When using LF-PK1 or LF-X11

You need to create settings from the [Base Station

Settings] screen.

Open the [Base Station Settings] screen with your

Internet browser, and then select [Easy Setup],

referring to "Base Station Settings" ( 1 page 25).

Create settings to watch TV away from your home, and perform the NetAV check following the instructions on the screen.

10

If NetAV Check is Incomplete

Read the instructions on the NetAV Check screen and configure the necessary settings.

To complete the NetAV check without modifying the advanced settings such as the port forwarding setting for the router, the router must be UPnP

(Universal Plug & Play) compatible and the

UPnP function of the router must be enabled.

Refer to the instructions supplied with your router and confirm the settings.

If your router is not UPnP compatible, you prefer not to use the UPnP function of the router, or if you tried to use the UPnP function but the setup was unsuccessful, port forwarding needs to be set on the router.

The settings for port forwarding may vary depending on the router in use. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with your router.

z

Tips

• Port forwarding is a function that allows network communications with your router to be forwarded directly to your network device (such as a PC or a

PSP

®

system). It may also be called "Port Mapping",

"Address Change" or other names. To connect to the

LocationFree Base Station from outside your home using port forwarding, you must adjust the settings for the router to allow the data connection received by the router over the Internet to get through to the

Base Station port (initial setting: 5024 (LF-B20/LF-

B10), 5021 (LF-PK1/LF-X11)).

• It is necessary to set the Base Station’s IP address to activate the port forwarding setting on the router. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with your router and the Operating Instructions document supplied with the Base Station.

• Some UPnP-compatible routers are only compatible with specific messenger services and games. For such a router, set port forwarding.
