If a wired connection is not possible, connect the media center to a
wireless game adapter or wireless bridge manufactured by the same
company as your wireless router, see

is not required for PC Link.

Adding components
To add components to the TV connected to the media center, such as
a DVD player or VCR, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for
each device. For digital VCRs, see
Archiving to a VCR or DVCR on
page 50.
For other additional components, use a secondary connection to the
TV. Do not interrupt the primary signal from the media center to the
TV (see
figure 55). If the content is protected by digital copyright pro-
tection systems, the picture on the additional component may appear
distorted or not at all.
Figure 55: Installation of secondary components
Secondary digital monitors can be connected via the IEEE 1394 ports
but do not display the Moxi Menu or any other user interface graphics
You must use the Ethernet port on the rear of the media center. A
USB to Ethernet connection is not supported.
