Checking the wireless
LAN environment of your
home network

You need the following environment to use the
Home Network, Music Service, and PARTY
STREAMING functions. Confirm your
environment in advance.

A wireless LAN home network
environment must be available. (Make
sure that a wireless LAN router is used.)
A device that can be used as a server (a
computer, etc.) must be connected to
your wireless LAN home network*.
Internet access must be available.
(When you want to listen to music
services.)

* For details on servers that are compatible with this

system, see page 37.

There are several connecting methods you can use
to set up a wireless network: searching for an
access point, using a WPS connecting method
(either the push-button method or the PIN code
method), or manual setting. Select the connection
method that can be used for your home network
using the chart on page 22.

Notes

•

Make sure not to use the wireless LAN function where
medical equipment (such as a pacemaker) is used or
where the use of wireless communication is prohibited.

•

Before connecting to your home network, you need to
prepare a wireless LAN router/access point. For details,
refer to the operating manual supplied with the device.

•

Depending on your home network environment, the
wireless LAN router/access point may have been set up
such that it cannot be connected using WPS, even
though it is compatible with WPS. For details on
whether your wireless LAN router/access point is
compatible or not compatible with WPS, and on the
setup of a WPS connection, refer to the operating
manual supplied with your wireless LAN router/access
point.

•

You may encounter setup difficulties if the system and
the wireless LAN router/access point are located too far
from each other. If you do, move the devices closer to
each other.
