Internet Connection Not Available / Audio Video 

Sharing Not Working

If the MAC address (a unique identifier number) of your 

PC or modem has been permanently registered, it is 

possible that your TV might not connect to the internet. 

In such a case, the MAC address is authenticated 

each time when you connect to the internet. This is a 

precaution against unauthorized access. Since your 

TV has its own MAC address, your internet service 

provider cannot validate the MAC address of your TV.  

For this reason, your TV cannot connect to the internet. 

Contact your internet service provider and request 

information on how to connect a different device, such 

as your TV, to the internet.
It is also possible that the connection may not be 

available due to a firewall problem. If you think this 

causes your problem, contact your internet service 

provider. A firewall might be the reason of a connectivity 

and discovery problem while using the TV in Audio 

Video Sharing mode or while browsing via Audio Video 

Sharing feature.

Invalid Domain 

Ensure that you have already logged on to your PC with 

an authorized username/password and also ensure 

that your domain is active, prior to sharing any files in 

your media server program on your PC. If the domain 

is invalid, this might cause problems while browsing 

files in Audio Video Sharing mode. 

Using Audio Video Sharing Network Service

Audio Video Sharing feature uses a standard that 

eases the viewing process of digital electronics and 

makes them more convenient to use on a home 

network. 
This standard allows you to view and play photos, 

music and videos stored in the media server connected 

to your home network.

1. Server Software Installation

The Audio Video Sharing feature cannot be used if the 

server programme is not installed onto your PC or if 

the required media server software is not installed onto 

the companion device. Prepare your PC with a proper 

server programme.

2. Connect to a Wired or Wireless Network

See the 

Wired/Wireless Connectivity 

chapters for 

detailed configuration information.

and press

then be displayed. 
Refer to the

 menu section for further 

information on file playback.

If a problem occurs with the network, switch your 

television off at the wall socket and back on again. 

Trick mode and jump are not supported with the Audio 

Video Sharing feature.
PC/HDD/Media Player or any other devices that are 

compatible should be used with a wired connection for 

higher playback quality.

Use a LAN connection for quicker file sharing between 

other devices like computers.

Note:

 There may be some PC’s which may not be able to 

utilize the Audio Video Sharing feature due to administrator 

and security settings (such as business PC’s).
