What is LocationFree®?

What is LocationFree®?
LocationFree® allows you to watch TV programs or recorded video from any room in your home, or
even away from home. You can transmit video from your Base Station which is connected to a DVD
recorder (or other video devices such as set-top boxes or DVRs) to a LocationFree® client device such
as a personal computer or PSP® system via a wireless network or the Internet.
You can operate video devices connected to the Base Station remotely from your PSP® system by using
the on-screen remote control function.

What You can Do with the LocationFree® Player

What You can Do with the LocationFree®
Player
You can watch TV or video on the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system by using the LocationFree®
Base Station.
With the Base Station placed in a living room for instance, you can enjoy TV or video from anywhere
in your home by using the PSP® system’s wireless LAN feature.
You can also view the same TV programs or video 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 a LocationFree®
client device such as the PSP® system. By using NetAV, you can view your home TV or 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. For details about how to use your router, please refer to its instructions.
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 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 24, 1 page 25). To determine whether your router is UPnP compatible, refer
to the instructions supplied with your router.

What You can Do with the LocationFree® Player

z Tips
• 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
• PSP® system software version 2.80 or later is
required for use with this product.
• 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.

your PSP® system to connect the PSP® system to your router. If you have not made network settings of your
PSP® system yet, refer to the instructions manual of the PSP® system to create settings. If you have already made
the network settings of your PSP® system, perform "Creating Basic Settings for the LocationFree® Player
(Registering at Home)" (1 page 9), and then your PSP® system will be registered to the Base Station via the
router automatically.
• You can perform "Creating Basic Settings for the LocationFree® Player (Registering via the Internet)"
(1 page 22) only when your Base Station is LF-V30/LF-B20/LF-B10.

Notes
• You need to do this setup before you go out.
• A contract or application may be required to connect
to the Internet at some locations.

For detailed usage instructions, refer to
"Watching TV or Video on the
LocationFree® Player" (1 page 13).

Checking Your Internet
Connection

You can close the LocationFree® Player by
pressing the
button.

To watch TV or video away from home, be sure
to connect the Base Station to the Internet.

To watch TV or video away from home, proceed
to "Settings to Watch TV or Video Away from
Home" (1 page 11).

z Tips
• To use the NetAV function to watch TV or video
away from home, we recommend that the
connection to the Base Station be broadband with
upload and download speeds of at least 300 kbps.
Contact your Internet service provider for more
information about the speed of your
communications line.
• The faster line speeds you use, the better picture
quality you get when you watch TV or video using
NetAV.

Notes
• Depending on your Internet service provider, you
may not be able to connect multiple devices, such as
the Base Station and PCs to the router at the same
time. For more information, contact your service
provider.
• To determine what kind of network cable to use,
refer to the instructions supplied with your router,
cable modem, or DSL modem.
• For details on setting up the connection, refer to the
instructions supplied with your router, cable modem,
or DSL modem. If you have any questions, contact
your service provider.
• Further information about configurations is also
available on the following website.

Getting Started

This section explains how to set up your network
to connect to your Base Station via public
wireless LAN networks.

Setting to Watch TV or Video
Away from Home

If NetAV Check is Incomplete
Read the instructions on the NetAV Check screen
and configure the necessary settings.
To complete the NetAV check without modifying
the advanced settings such as the port forwarding
setting for the router, the router must be UPnP
(Universal Plug & Play) compatible and the
UPnP function of the router must be enabled.
Refer to the instructions supplied with your
router and confirm the settings.

z Tip
LF-V30/LF-B20/LF-B10 have the automatic NetAV
check function. However, you can also perform the
NetAV check manually from the [Base Station
Settings] page on the Base Station. The NetAV check
tests the setting of your Base Station and your router to
watch video away from home.
Open the [Base Station Settings] screen on your PSP®
system, and then select [NetAV Check], referring to
"Base Station Settings" (1 page 25).

If your router is not UPnP compatible, you prefer
not to use the UPnP function of the router, or if
you tried to use the UPnP function but the setup
was unsuccessful, port forwarding needs to be set
on the router.
The settings for port forwarding may vary
depending on the router in use. For details, refer
to the instructions supplied with your router.

z Tips
• Port forwarding is a function that allows network
communications with your router to be forwarded
directly to your network device (such as a PC or a
PSP® system). It may also be called "Port Mapping",
"Address Change" or other names. To connect to the
LocationFree® Base Station from outside your
home using port forwarding, you must adjust the
settings for the router to allow the data connection
received by the router over the Internet to get
through to the Base Station port (initial setting: 5026
(LF-V30), 5024 (LF-B20/LF-B10)).
• It is necessary to set the Base Station’s IP address to
activate the port forwarding setting on the router. For
details, refer to the instructions supplied with your
router and the Operating Instructions supplied with
the Base Station.
• Some UPnP-compatible routers are only compatible
with specific messenger services and games. For
such a router, set port forwarding.

12

Getting Started

You need to complete the NetAV check before
you go out.
Make sure that the NET AV LED (LF-V30) or the
SETUP MODE/NETAV LED (LF-B20/LF-B10)
goes off. If it is lit, you need to perform the
NetAV check.

correctly with [Power], other buttons may not
be enabled. If this happens, the remote control
settings may be incorrect. Adjust the settings to
use the correct remote control.
• Some devices may not have a [Power] button
(for example, some DVRs do not). In this case,
after completing the remote control settings,
use the on-screen remote control to confirm
that the buttons are enabled. Also, skip the 7th
step forementioned.

control are not enabled, retry the on-screen
remote control settings by repeating the steps
