What Is the LocationFree Base Station?
3
You can watch TV or videos 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 TV or videos
from anywhere in your home by using the PSP™ system’s wireless networking feature.
You can also view the same TV programs or videos available in your home on your PSP™ system while
away from home by accessing your Base Station over the Internet.
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 videos 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 videos 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 20, 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 cellular 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 2.50 or later
on your PSP™ system to be able to use the
LocationFree Base Station to watch TV or videos.
• 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.
