I think you would be served getting a Wi-Fi ethernet adapter, like from Netgear.

It is actually pretty simple but you need a wireless router in your network to start with.Pick up a cheap second wireless router/access point. During setup set the access point to "client mode" or "bridge". Use you current routers IP as the gateway settings in the access point and in the HD-DVD player settings. power up the HD player and it should have access.A bit simplified, but the secret is to get the IP address of everything set correctly.PS You also DO NOT want a USB version as you can not use USB on the player, it must be ethernet.

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

The Sony BDP-S560 does not stream internet video from any of the popular services (Blockbuster, Netflix, Amazon).The absence of the ability to stream video makes the built in WiFi, nearly pointless (the only use seems to be to access BD Live content available on some blu-ray discs).The less expensive Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) with a WiFi adapter (Linksys by Cisco WET610N Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band is preprogrammed to work with the N-460) or a dedicated Roku HD-XR unit stream video from these services over WiFi.

If you could indulge this speculation, I think firmware updates, if any, could be handled over the internet. The reason for this guess stems from what I believe I learned about the iPhone app. I wondered if it would have to be plugged in to the unit via USB or streaming via bluetooth in order to function. This doesn't appear to be the case, because within the app (on demo mode) under SETTINGS &gt; SELECT PRODUCT, all products have placeholders for MAC Address, IP Address and Port. This evidence makes me think it's safe to assume that the app is able to interface via TCPIP over wifi (though the Pioneer unit would have to be connected to the LAN via its ethernet port). So it appears to be possible that the unit can do more than just accept internet radio signals over the ethernet port. I don't think it's too big a leap to assume that firmware updates can be handled this way rather than manually by USB drive or DVD-ROM. If anyone can confirm or disprove, please fire away.

Hello Joseph..... I hope this info helps: The back of the Sony BDP-S790 is its most interesting part. Here, you'll find not one but two HDMI outputs, an Ethernet network port, an additional USB port, optical and coaxial digital audio, as well as a set of backup composite audio/video connectors. The BDP-S790 has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n built in. Sony 3D Blu-ray player Ports on the rear of the BDP-S790, including two HDMI outputs. The dual HDMI output is an interesting feature. Its advantage is in making it possible to connect an A/V receiver or home theatre system with one HDMI port, and using the other port to send an unadulterated HDMI signal to your TV or home theatre projector. If you've got an A/V receiver that won't pass through 3D video, for example, this is a big selling point.

If you have a wireless router, pretty much any company sells a companion to it for problems just like yours. You can get either an ethernet one or a USB one. I don't know if Amazon allows links, but if you have a wireless router, this is something similar to what you would need to get: http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=383 There are cheaper ones out there, but this is close to what you would need to get since there is only an ethernet connection on the player, no USB. I hope this helps!

Yes, you can plug in the Buffalo into your WiFi BluRay Player and it will work fine as long as your BluRay Player is powered on. At leasst that's how mine operates.

The manual says to use the USB Wireless LAN Adapter (UWA-BR100). I would say that this player wouldn't work with anything else. It still needs firmware updates to get everything working as announced.

The item cannot get WiFi unless the WiFi is already there. In other words, all this item can do is make you get an existing WiFi signal to come in better. It sounds like you may be where there is no internet access at all? That is different. If you don't have DSL, Cable, or FiOS in your area, you may want to consider satellite.

gojo Well, I can tell you that I talked to Panasonic and you will have to hard player to something in order for it to go online. You will need an ethernet adapter with LAN cable. This is what you would use to play games, so they are called internet wireless bridge, or adapter bridge. Just make sure you can use a LAN cable with it since there are no other options on player. Check out other threads concerning this too. They mention types of adapters to use. Val

The comparable Bluetooth adapter is the Pioneer CD-BTB200 and it is listed as discontinued by the manufacturer. They can still be sourced on line.

Thank you, Prussianette. I have since purchased a wireless adapter. I had the wrong notion that there was a dongle similar to those available for other players. There is a big difference in price between a dongle ($30,00) and an adapter ($90 TO $100.00).

No this player has no built in Wi-FI. Worse a USB off the shelf Wi-Fi radio Internet dongle will not work. The USB Wi-Fi adapter for this unit was never produced by Panasonic. This unit plays discs and that's it. Forget any Internet connection with this unit. I returned mine for one with built in Wi-Fi. This is a DO NOT purchase unit for sure.
