What is LocationFree?

3 LocationFree allows you to watch TV programs or recorded video from any room in your home, or even away from home. You can transmit video from your Base Station which is connected to a DVD recorder (or other devices) to a device such as a personal computer, PSP® or LocationFree TV Box via a wireless network or the Internet. You can operate devices attached to your Base Station remotely from your PSP® by using an on-screen remote control function. What is LocationFree? PSP Notebook TV PC Home On the go

What You can Do with the LocationFree Player

4 You can watch TV or video on the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system by using the LocationFree Base Station. With the Base Station placed in a living room for instance, you can enjoy TV or video from anywhere in your home by using the PSP® system’s wireless LAN feature. You can also view the same TV programs or video available in your home on your PSP® system while away from home by accessing your Base Station over the Internet. NetAV NetAV is the name of the process that is used to transmit video output from the Base Station to devices such as the PSP® system. By using NetAV, you can view your home TV or video over the Internet using a public wireless LAN service such as a hotspot. Routers A router is a type of network device that allows users to connect multiple PCs or other devices for simultaneous access to the Internet using a single Internet connection. DSL modems and other network devices often include the same functions as a router. UPnP UPnP, short for "Universal Plug and Play", is a system that allows users to connect devices such as PCs and audio/ video equipment to each other via a network. To access your Base Station and view TV or video on the PSP® system from outside the home, it is recommended that you use a router that supports UPnP. If you use a router that does not support UPnP, you will need to enter advanced settings for the Base Station and the LocationFree Player (1 page 24, 1 page 25). To determine whether your router is UPnP compatible, refer to the instructions supplied with your router.

This section explains how to set up your network

to connect to your Base Station at home via public wireless LAN networks. Notes • You need to do this setup before you go out. • A contract or application may be required to connect to the Internet at some locations. To watch TV or video away from home, you must first connect the Base Station to the Internet. You can connect the Base Station to the Internet over a DSL line or cable Internet connection. z Tips • To use the NetAV function to watch TV or video away from home, we recommend that the connection to the Base Station be broadband with upload and download speeds of at least 300 kbps. Contact your Internet service provider for more information about the speed of your communications line. • The faster line speeds you use, the better picture quality you get when you watch TV or video using NetAV. Connecting to the router Using a network cable (not supplied), connect the LAN port of the Base Station to your router. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions document supplied with the LocationFree Base Station. Notes • Depending on your Internet service provider, you may not be able to connect multiple devices, such as the Base Station and several computers. For more information, contact your service provider. • To determine what kind of network cable to use, refer to the instructions supplied with your router, cable modem, or DSL modem. • For details on setting up the connection, refer to the instructions supplied with your router, cable modem, or DSL modem. If you have any questions, contact your service provider. • Further information about configurations is also available on the following website. LocationFreeTV FAQ pages: sony.com/locationfree/faq/ You need to do this setup before you go out. When using LF-B20/LF-B10 After you successfully connect the Base Station to your router, your settings to watch video away from your home are automatically created. For details on connecting the Base Station to your router, or confirming the settings, refer to the Quick Start Guide or Operating Instructions document supplied with the Base Station. z Tip You can perform the NetAV check that tests the setting of your Base Station and your router to watch video away from home from the [Base Station Settings] page on the Base Station. Open the [Base Station Settings] screen with your Internet browser, and then select [NetAV Check], referring to "Base Station Settings" (1 page 25). When using LF-PK1 or LF-X11 You need to create settings from the [Base Station Settings] screen. Open the [Base Station Settings] screen with your Internet browser, and then select [Easy Setup], referring to "Base Station Settings" (1 page 25). Create settings to watch TV away from your home, and perform the NetAV check following the instructions on the screen. Preparations and Settings to Watch TV or Video Away from Home Checking Your Internet Connection Setting to Watch TV or Video Away from Home

Read the instructions on the NetAV Check screen

and configure the necessary settings. To complete the NetAV check without modifying the advanced settings such as the port forwarding setting for the router, the router must be UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) compatible and the UPnP function of the router must be enabled. Refer to the instructions supplied with your router and confirm the settings. If your router is not UPnP compatible, you prefer not to use the UPnP function of the router, or if you tried to use the UPnP function but the setup was unsuccessful, port forwarding needs to be set on the router. The settings for port forwarding may vary depending on the router in use. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with your router. z Tips • Port forwarding is a function that allows network communications with your router to be forwarded directly to your network device (such as a PC or a PSP® system). It may also be called "Port Mapping", "Address Change" or other names. To connect to the LocationFree Base Station from outside your home using port forwarding, you must adjust the settings for the router to allow the data connection received by the router over the Internet to get through to the Base Station port (initial setting: 5024 (LF-B20/LF- B10), 5021 (LF-PK1/LF-X11)). • It is necessary to set the Base Station’s IP address to activate the port forwarding setting on the router. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with your router and the Operating Instructions document supplied with the Base Station. • Some UPnP-compatible routers are only compatible with specific messenger services and games. For such a router, set port forwarding. If NetAV Check is Incomplete
