downloaded on-line content on the player.
You do not need to connect to a PC to use this function.

address will automatically be determined.
If there is no DHCP server on the network and you want to set the IP
address manually, select [Static IP] then set the [IP Address], [Subnet
Mask], [Gateway] and [DNS Server] using [IP Setting] option.
