What is the LocationFree Base Station?

The LocationFree Base Station allows you to watch video both at home and on the go. Your home Base

Station can be accessed via the Internet while you are away from home by installing and configuring the

LocationFree Player on your computer or another LocationFree device*. Also, by placing the Base

Station in a central room, such as your living room, you can enjoy video from anywhere in your home

via your home LAN.

* LocationFree device: An equipment with LocationFree Player installed.

NetAV: A function that allows you to access the Base Station via a home network or the Internet to

watch video.

z Tips

• You cannot use NetAV when connected to the

Internet via an analog phone line that uses a dial-up

router or cellular phone.

• You may not be able to watch some video, DVDs,

and 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

• The LocationFree Base Station transmits on the 2.4

GHz wireless channel. If other devices in the

vicinity emit electrical waves, such as a wireless

LAN device or microwave oven, the strength of the

wireless signal may decrease. The materials used in

the construction of a building’s walls and floors may

also affect the signal strength.

• When using NetAV, the Base Station, router, and

connected devices at home also 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.

• You can use this Base Station as a Wireless Access

Point.

Base Station Preparations

You can connect external devices featuring a scart output terminal or audio/video output terminals, such

as a STB, PVR, or DVD Recorder to the Base Station.

Refer to the operating instructions for each device.

Watching video with a connected

device

Select [Video 1] in the [Index] window. You can

operate the connected device using the on-screen

remote control. Open the [Index] window, select

[Video 1] or [Video 2] according to the input

terminal to which the device is connected.

z Tip

To operate external devices from the LocationFree

device, you must connect the supplied IR Blaster. For

details, see the next page.

Note

If you connect a DVD player to the Base Station via a

VCR, the VCR’s copy guard function may distort or

dim the DVD picture. Connect the DVD player

directly to the video input terminal on the Base Station.

Base Station Preparations

Attach the supplied IR Blaster to the device

connected to the Base Station.

You can control the device with the LocationFree

device’s on-screen remote control via the IR

Blaster.

With reference to the operating instructions of the

device, make sure to place the IR Blaster just

above the remote sensor.

Note

Do not remove the backing paper from the IR Blaster

yet.

After configuring LocationFree Player remote control

settings (1page 28), remove the backing paper from

the IR Blaster and fix it in place.

When operating two devices with the IR Blaster,

set the devices and the IR Blaster as shown.

Note

For details on setting up a device, refer to the operating

instructions of the device.

If the remote sensors on the two devices do not

line up like the picture above, you cannot control

them with the single supplied IR Blaster, and you

need to purchase a 3.5 mm jack splitter, such as

Sony Headphone Adapter PC-232S (not

supplied), and another IR Blaster. Connect the

plug adapter to the IR BLASTER port on the

Base Station and connect each IR Blaster to a port

on the adapter plug.

z Tips

• If the IR Blaster cable is too short, use the 3.5 mm

jack extension cable (not supplied).

• Remote sensors on Sony Recorders and other

products are identified with the symbol.

• You can set up two on-screen remote controls for

each video input connector. These on-screen remote

controls allow you to operate two devices connected

directly to the Base Station, and to control video

input via those devices.
