I Using the wireless LAN
This TV is equipped with a wireless LAN function.
For a wireless LAN connection, you must use "Wireless Setup" to connect the access point and TV.
NOTE
• This TV has a built-in wireless LAN function. Using a separate wireless USB LAN adapter may result in radio
communications that do not comply with regulations on radio communications. Therefore, do not use a separate
wireless LAN adapter.
• A wireless LAN connection and performance cannot be guaranteed for all residential environments. In the following
cases, the wireless LAN signal may be poor or drop, or the connection speed may become slower.
- When used in buildings made with concrete, reinforced steel, or metal
- When placed near objects that obstruct the signal
- When used with other wireless devices that emit the same frequency
- When used in the vicinity of microwave ovens and other devices that emit a magnetic fi eld, electrostatic charge, or
electromagnetic interference
• When there is signifi cant interference in the 2.4-GHz frequency (such as from other wireless LAN devices, Bluetooth
devices, 2.4-GHz cordless telephones, and microwave ovens), it is recommended that you use a wireless LAN
router/access point that supports IEEE802.11a/n (5 GHz) and set the access point to transmit at 5 GHz. For setup
details, see the operation manual of your access point.
