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 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.

z Tips
• You may not be able to watch some videos, DVDs,
or other media that are copyright protected with the
software.
• When the power is turned on, the Base Station
continuously emits a wireless signal.
• To use the NetAV function, we recommend a
broadband connection with upload and download
speeds of at least 300 kbps.
• NetAV cannot be used via a proxy server.
Notes
• PSP® system software version 2.80 or later is
required for use with this product.
• When using NetAV, the Base Station, router, and
modem at home need to be left on when you are
away from home so that you can connect to them via
the Internet.
• Use of the NetAV function for purposes other than
personal enjoyment is prohibited.
This section describes the setup for using NetAV to watch TV at home.
For details about preparing the Base Station for use, refer to the Quick Start Guide or Operating
Instructions document supplied with the Base Station.
Press the POWER button on the front
panel of the Base Station to turn it on.
The POWER LED on the front panel of the Base
Station will light up green.

You can connect your Base Station to a TV antenna only when your Base Station is LF-PK1 or LF-X11 (as of Oct.
2006).
If your Base Station is LF-B10, you need to connect the Base Station to a router with a LAN cable and then connect
your PSP® system to the Base Station through the router.
Notes
• If you intend to use your Base Station LF-B20 at the Client mode, be sure to make network settings of your PSP®
system to connect the PSP® system to your router. If you have not made network settings of your PSP® system
yet, refer to the instructions manual of the PSP® system to create settings. If you have already made the network
settings of your PSP® system, perform "Creating Basic Settings for the LocationFree Player (Registering at
Home)" (1 page 8), and then your PSP® system will be registered to the Base Station via the router
automatically.

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.

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

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.
