Important information  
Please install and connect the product in the order as described in this manual only.  
This assures best installation results with the least technical hassles.  
Please read this guide carefully before using the SL300i; and keep it for future reference.  
The most recent downloads and information on this product will be available through our  
Broadband Internet access (min. 256 kbps) is required if you want to use the Internet  
functions of the SL300i.  
Please check whether your Internet service provider charges extra fees for exceeding a  
certain limit of transferred data.  
When using Internet media services on a daily basis, you may exceed such a limit.  
For example:When you listen to Internet radio (at 64 kbps) for about 36 hours,  
1 GB (gigabyte) of data will be transferred to your streamium system.  
Watching Internet video at 700 kbps exceeds a 1 GB limit in 3 hours.  
During set-up and installation, it may be helpful to have the instructions for yourTV set,  
audio system and wireless base station or other wireless network components  
(if appropriate) at hand.  
Safety Precautions  
NEVER MAKE OR CHANGE CONNECTIONS WITHTHE POWER SWITCHED ON.  
Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage indicated on the nameplate  
(or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the  
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer.  
Radio equipment for wireless applications is not protected against disturbance from other  
radio services.  
The product should not be exposed to dripping or splashing.  
No object filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.  
Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by  
heating equipment or direct sunlight.  
Allow a sufficient amount of free space all around the SL300i for adequate ventilation.  
Do not open this product. Contact your Philips retailer if you experience technical  
difficulties.  
Place the system on a flat, hard and stable surface.When the system is switched to  
standby mode, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power  
supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.  
Make sure the air around the SL300i can circulate to prevent the SL300i from overheating  
internally. Also, avoid putting any heat sources (e.g. a power amplifier) underneath.  
The SL300i has a thermal shutdown that shuts down the set when the internal  
temperature exceeds a certain threshold. If this happens, the set switches to standby with  
the Power-LED flashing on and off.To remedy this situation: disconnect the mains, let the  
set cool down, improve ventilation, and reconnect the set to the mains.

Installing  
2.2 If you already have a wireless computer network  
Option B  
In this configuration you already have a wireless computer network, and aTV.  
You will check the settings of your existing wireless computer network.  
You will connect the SL300i to theTV and adapt its settings to match your network.  
At the end, you will be able to send music, photos, and movies from your computer to yourTV.  
1
Check your existing wireless network settings so you are able to enter them in STEP 7  
of this procedure.  
Find out the wireless network name (SSID) and the encryption key you used for securing  
your wireless network.  
Check the:  
NETWORK NAME (SSID)  
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  
and  
Wireless Network Name (SSID):  
ENCRYPTION KEY  
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  
of your wireless network  
Usually, you can find the wireless network name in the options menu of your Wireless  
Network Adapter or Wireless Base Station.To check this, open the program that came  
with your network adapter.  
Encryption key:  
The wireless encryption key is a 64 or 128 bit WEP code that secures your wireless  
network communications.  
– 64-bit: 5 characters ASCII, or 10 characters HEX, or  
– 128 bit: 13 characters ASCII, or 26 characters HEX.  
Note:The encryption key is case sensitive, meaning that ‘ABC’ is not the same as ‘aBc’.Always  
input characters in the correct case to avoid problems.  
Basically, you will have to try and remember what you set it to. If you cannot remember  
the encryption key, you will either have to disable it completely for your entire wireless  
network, or set a new one that you can remember.

Chapter 3 - Enabling broadband Internet entertainment  
If you have a broadband Internet connection (min. 256 kbps), you can stream Internet radio stations and movie trailers live from the Internet to the  
SL300i for free. Broadband internet also provides the on-line upgrades for the SL300i.  
possibilities.  
3.1 How does your computer connect to the Internet?  
Option A: With a wired broadband Internet connection:  
If you have a PC with a wired broadband Internet  
connection, you will have to make that Internet connection  
available to the wireless (or wired) network that connects to  
the SL300i.  
To do this, install router/gateway software on the PC for  
bridging the broadband Internet connection to the wireless or  
INTERNET  
wired network.  
As an example we have included a chapter on page 46-50 of  
the extended User Manual on the Philips Media Manager CD  
on how to enable Internet Connection Sharing from your  
Microsoft®Windows® operating system. For Microsoft® and  
other operating systems, third party router/gateway software is  
readily available on the market.  
For more information on sharing an Internet connection, read  
the documentation that came with the software or with your  
operating system.  
This applies to both a  
wired and a wireless  
connection between  
your PC and the SL300i.  
> After bridging the internet connection to your wireless (or  
wired) network, you will be able to use the SL300i to access  
the Internet just like your computer.  
Option B: Through a wireless base station:  
or  
Wireless base stations (and wired internet gateway routers)  
share their broadband Internet access automatically within the  
network.  
>The SL300i will be able to access the Internet just like your  
other wireless or wired network computer(s).  
INTERNET  
This also applies to a wired  
connection between your  
internet gateway router  
and the SL300i.
