I bought one of these from Wal-Mart because of the ability to access the internet with your PC through the MediaConnect feature but was unable to download the required software from Philips' site or get any tech support who could help or understand what the issue might be with the Philips site.
The instructions tell you to enter a code found on a CD with the player. There is no CD. The set-up menu tells you to go to [...] and enter a code you can find on the player's set-up screen.
I tried this multiple times on multiple browsers on multiple computers and kept getting this message:
"Wi-Fi MediaConnect has encountered an internal error. Sorry for any inconvenience. Please try again later."
No luck with either phone, chat or e-mail support.
I can't fathom why such a large international company can operate this way.
I'm done and will return the player.
