your computers and other internet devices on 2.4GHz bands.
• Add a hard drive (see “Installing and Using an Internal Disk Drive
for Pictures, Music, or Video” on page 46) to improve playback

Taking Precautions
Take precautions to secure personal data sent over wireless connections
to your Digital Entertainer HD. Also take precautions for monitoring
content, if you wish to exercise parental control.
See the following sections for information about doing this.
Access and Network Security
Use care when sharing media, and set up security in your home network
to protect your privacy and prevent unauthorized access to your photos
and media files.
When sharing media use the following precautions:
• Share only the folders containing media files. Do not share your
main hard drive or any folder containing programs or personal
data.
• Share media folders on a read-only basis (do not allow others to
write to the folders.) unless recording to the folders.
• For maximum security, consider a storage device, attached to a
network, dedicated to entertainment and media.
