You can connect the system to the network either through a wireless or a wired LAN. Check your connection method using the chart below. Please make sure to read “Checking the wireless LAN environment of your home network” (page 23) in advance when connecting the system through a wireless LAN. For details on which connection method your wireless LAN router/access point supports, refer to the operating manual of your wireless LAN router/access point. Which connection do you want to use, wireless or wired, to connect the system to your home network? Wireless Wired Do you have a wireless LAN router/ access point? Yes No Are you going to use the WPS*1 setting to connect the system to your home network? Yes Do you have a router or a modem with a router function? Yes You need a wireless LAN router/access point. No You need a router. No Which connection method do you intend to use, the WPS push button configuration method or the WPS PIN code method? Push button configuration method Use the WPS push button configuration method (page 25). PIN code method Use the WPS PIN code method (page 26). Use the access point search method (page 23). *2 Use the manual setup method (page 25).*2 Use the wired connection method (page 26). *1 WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance allowing you to setup a wireless network easily and securely. *2 Use the manual setup method if you cannot find the desired access point using the access point scan method.

It is a standard for audio file compression determined by the MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), an ISO (International Organization for Standardization)/ IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) working group. Abbreviation for Local Area Network. LAN is a general name for networks set up for communication among devices including computers, printers, and fax machines in relatively small areas such as offices or buildings. A device that bridges networks, converting the protocols and addresses of each network. When connecting multiple network devices to Internet, a router is necessary. The term “router” by itself may refer to any of these devices. Bit rate MAC address The bit rate is a measure of data volume expressed in bits per second (bps). Abbreviation for Media Access Control address. It is an identification name assigned to all network devices. Each device has its own address and there are no duplicate addresses. A MAC address may be necessary when identifying the unit separately from other devices (such as a DLNA server). Byte One of the fundamental units used to express digitized data in computers. Digitized data is commonly expressed in binary digits (zeros and ones). A single unit of data is one bit. One byte consists of eight bits. DLNA Abbreviation for Digital Living Network Alliance. The DLNA is a nonprofit organization that establishes design guidelines for digital content shared over networks. For details, see: http://www.dlna.org/home/ DNS Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A server that translates domain names to IP addresses, or IP addresses to domain names. A DNS is identified by an IP address. Also called a “DNS server.” Internet Service Provider A company that offers a connection service to the Internet. IP address IP addresses usually comprise four groups of up to three digits each, separated by a period (such as 192.168.239.1). All devices on a network must have an IP address. 72GB MP3 Abbreviation for MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3. It is a standard for audio file compression determined by the MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) working group. It enables compression of audio files to about 1/10 of the data size of a standard compact disc. Since the MP3 encoding algorithm is disclosed, there are various encoders/decoders that are compliant with this standard. The MP3 standard is therefore widely used in the computer field. Network key (security key) An encryption key used to limit the devices with which communication can occur. It is used to provide higher security for devices communicating via a wireless LAN router/access point. Proxy A program or a server that provides Internet access to computers within a firewall or quicker downloading of web pages. SSID Abbreviation for Service Set IDentifier. It is a name that identifies a particular access point within an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. To connect with an access point, a client device must be set with the same SSID. SSIDs can be up to 32 characters long. For higher security, a network key is normally also used. In this case, connection cannot occur unless the SSID matches the network key. WEP Abbreviation for Wired Equivalent Privacy. An encryption key used in wireless LAN networks. As an IEEE standard based on the RC4 algorithm cryptography, WEP is used to secure IEEE 802.11b wireless networks. During the transmission of a message between a wireless LAN access point and a client device, the sending side encrypts the data and the receiving side decrypts it. For communication to occur, both devices must use a common code key, which is called the “WEP key.” The encryption level is indicated by the bit count of the key; e.g. 64 bits or 128 bits. The higher the bit count, the higher the security level. WMA Abbreviation for Windows Media Audio. WMA is the audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation that allows audio files to be compressed to about 1/22 of the data size of a standard compact disc. WPA Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access. An encryption standard for wireless LAN networks created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to remedy a number of serious security problems in the WEP system. In addition to the network name (SSID) and encryption key (WEP), this protocol uses a user authentication framework called “EAP” (Extensible Authentication Protocol) and a protocol called “TKIP” (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) which automatically updates the encryption code at regular intervals for higher security. WPA2 Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. An encryption standard for wireless LAN networks. As an upgraded version of WPA created by the Wi-Fi Alliance, this standard uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cryptography to provide stronger security than WPA. Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. A wireless network standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance allows you to set up a wireless network easily. A push button method and a PIN code method are available. Dynamic label segment The text data transmitted for each channel or service. Ensemble label In DAB, multiple digital radio channels are transmitted using a single radio transmission or frequency. A group of channels sent this way is called an “ensemble” and “ensemble label” is the name of such a group. Service label The name of an individual digital radio channel or service.
