guests to use Wi-Fi Direct (see “Media Share Setup” on pages 68 to 69).
1. Turn ON the TV, and press MENU on the Installer Remote to display the TV menus (either the setup
menus or the Function Menu depending on whether the TV is or is not in Pass-through Mode).
2. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select/highlight the General menu icon, and then press OK.
3. In the General Menu, use the Up/Down arrow keys to select Wi-Fi Direct, and then press OK.
Note: The example at left
shows the General Menu when
the TV is in Pass-through Mode.
The Wi-Fi Direct screen is the
same whether the TV is or is
not in Pass-through Mode.
