Notes on Wi-Fi connections

  • Local regulations may restrict the use of Wi-Fi devices in some countries or regions.

  • Wi-Fi devices work on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Various devices use these bands. Wi-Fi devices use technology to minimize radio interference from other devices on the same band. However, radio interference may cause the following effects.

    • Slower data transfer rates
    • Smaller communication range
    • Communication failure
  • If you enable both the Wi-Fi function and the Bluetooth function on the player, slower data transfer rates or other problems may occur.

  • To perform Wi-Fi communications outdoors, you may need to contract with a Wi-Fi service provider.

  • The data transfer rate and communication range may vary depending on the following conditions.

    • Distance between devices
    • Obstructions between devices
    • Device configuration
    • Signal conditions
    • Surrounding environment (wall material, etc.)
    • Software in use

  • Communications may cut off depending on signal conditions.

  • The data transfer rate is the theoretical maximum. It does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.

  • Wi-Fi devices work on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. These frequency bands cannot communicate with each other.

  • If the data transfer rate is slow, you may be able to increase the rate by changing the wireless channel on the access point.

  • The Wi-Fi antenna is built into the player. If you cover the antenna with your hands or other objects, the Wi-Fi connection may deteriorate.
