the internet connection
The digital entertainment center performs some functions on its own, and some functions
require connection to the Internet. If you're a dial-up user, you need to be aware of when
these connections occur. A successful connection, of course, requires the appropriate dial-up
line to be free.
If you're a broadband user, the digital entertainment center's Internet access should be
transparent to you.
dial-up prompt
When the digital entertainment center is set up for dial-up use, the default procedure is to
prompt the user each time a connection is required. When the prompt appears, select Yes to
make the connection. To decline the connection, select No or ignore the prompt (it times out
in 20 seconds).
If you want the connection to occur automatically (without prompting), change the Prompt
before dialing setting under Advanced network settings to No.
See "network settings" on page 66 for details.
retrieving cd information
When you insert a music CD for the first time, the digital entertainment center makes a brief
connection to the Internet to retrieve the album, artist, genre and track information. If for any
reason the data isn't automatically retrieved when you first insert the CD, you can make this
connection manually by pressing OPTIONS, then choosing cd info.
For more information on this function, see "gathering CD information" on page 31.
using the info button
In CD or Library mode, when you press the INFO buttton and then choose discography or
related artists from the pop-up menu, the digital entertainment center connects to the Internet
to access the requested information.
