What Is the LocationFree Base Station? You can watch video on the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system using the LocationFree Base Station. With the Base Station placed in a central room, such as your living room, you can enjoy video from anywhere in your home by using the PSP® system's wireless networking feature. You can also view the same video available in your home on your PSP® system while away from home by accessing your Base Station over the Internet. PSP® system PSP® system On the go External device Base Station Router Home 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 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 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 19, 1 page 21). To determine whether your router is UPnP compatible, refer to the instructions supplied with your router. z Tips · You cannot use NetAV when connected to the Internet via an analog phone line that uses a dial-up router or mobile phone. · 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 · You must have system software version 2.70 or later on your PSP® system to be able to use the LocationFree Base Station to watch video. · 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. 3 Getting Started Setting Up to Watch Video at Home This section describes the setup for using NetAV to watch video at home.
