Connecting your Blu-ray Disc™ player, TV, or Network media player to your home network provides you access to many additional entertainment sources that aren't available from over-the-air, cable, or satellite providers. There are a couple of options available to connect to your home network.
Check your Home Network
Make sure that your internet connection works. You can go online using your computer, tablet, or other network device connected to your home network.
Does your internet connection work?
No
Turn your Cable or DSL modem off and back on. If you have a separate router, turn it off and back on. After these devices have fully reset, check your connection again. If still doesn't work, contact your internet service provider.
Yes
If you plan to use a wireless connection for your device, verify the wireless network is already setup and works with other devices on your network. You can test this using a computer, tablet, or other device with wireless capability.
- If wireless is not yet set up, refer to your internet provider or router manufacturer for more information.
- If wireless is set up, determine your connection options. Check your device manual or go to the Settings menu on the TV or video device (press the HOME button on the remote) and check the Network settings.
