What is LocationFree Player?
LocationFree Player is a software application that enables video streaming over the internet, what is known as "NetAV" on the Sony LocationFree TV. The NetAV function allows you to stream live TV, VCR or DVDs from your home to your computer over a broadband internet connection.
Features of LocationFree Player
Watch TV, VCR or DVDs on your computer remotely (NetAV function (1 below))
With an Internet connection, you can use the NetAV function to watch TV, VCR or DVDs on your computer as you would at home.
Compatible with wireless and wired LAN
You can use either a wireless or a wired LAN to establish a connection with your base station with the NetAV function. NetAV function allows you to watch TV, VCR or DVDs from the base station through a hotel or public wireless access LAN.
If your base station is connected to the Internet through an analog phone line using a dial-up router or cellular phone, the NetAV function is not accessible. The functions of the LocationFree Player are limited to the NetAV functions (TV, VCR and DVDs).
* Make sure that you respect copyright laws when enjoying TV, VCR or DVDs. * Depending on the copyright protection methods used, you may not be able to view some materials.
What is the NetAV Function?
While you are away from home, you can connect the registered computer to your base station via the Internet, enjoy TV, and control the VCR or the DVD player in your home. This is the NetAV function. For example, by connecting it to a public wireless access, you can enjoy NetAV at a cafe via the Internet. You can also enjoy NetAV at a hotel by connecting it to the Internet via wired LAN.

Enjoy TV, VCR or DVDs on your computer
When you are using the monitor to communicate with the base station in Home mode to watch TV, VCR or DVDs, you cannot use the NetAV function from computers A or B to access the base station. However, if you select [Allow AV interception by registered monitors.] check box when you register the monitor, even if the monitor is being used to watch TV, VCR or DVDs, you can still initiate a NetAV connection with the base station from computers A or B. While the base station is feeding TV, VCR or DVDs to a remote computer with the NetAV function, you cannot use the NetAV function with other monitors. In other words, while computer A is accessing the base station with NetAV, you cannot use NetAV on computer B to access the base station. The reverse also applies.

* You can only connect Base Station LF-B20 to a wireless router wirelessly (as of Oct. 2006). ** You can only connect Base Station LF-PK1 or LF-X11 to a TV antenna (as of Oct. 2006). 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.
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.

Setting to Watch TV or Video Away from Home
You need to do this setup before you go out.
Checking Your Internet Connection
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
If NetAV Check is Incomplete
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.
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/LFB10), 5021 (LF-PK1/LF-X11)). It is necessary to set the Base Stations 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.
