You don't. This came out before real smart TV's were around. You can hook a computer or a Smartphone (through HDMI) to it and use it as a monitor.

I access the internet via a Sony PlayStation 3 hooked up to one of the HDMI ports, connecting via the home Wi-fi network.

B. Fisher is correct. I mean, you can hook your laptop up to it via HDMI, but you will not be able to get any internet access.

The TV has several HDMI ports on the back. Use one of them to connect a HDMI cable to the back of the computer, this may require an adapter depending on what connections are available on the back of the computer. Then use the menu on the TV to select the port on the back of the TV as the active port, that will allow the TV to show whatever is coming from the computer, in effect using the TV as a monitor. But the internet access MUST originate with the computer via a hard or wireless connection. The TV can only be used as a large monitor.

Man! This is an old thread. You could buy one of the Roku devices and stream audio/video. They're rather inexpensive and highly reviewed. Hookup either wireless or through ethernet cable. Then connect via HDMI input on the Sony and you should be good to go. And yeah, to cruise the internet you'd have to go through your computer.I no longer use this set in my main room but my son still loves it.

A major cable to connect the device to the DirectTv Box is not there. The cables are different than what can connect to the back of the 50" TV

You should have an equiso stick, power supply, bluetooth remote Dongle, remote and short HDMI cable with female and male end. Use of this cable is really only needed if your tv can't accommodate the Equiso stick with the space alloted by your HDMI port. 1. Plug the little dongle into the back of the equiso stick, if it's not already plugged in there. Next plug the power supply small end into the side of the stick. Now plug the stick into your HDMI on your tv. Last step plug on the power supply to the wall. You may need to charge the remote if it's not working when you plug in. You can do this with any android phone micro charger or the power supply plugged into the equiso. I can't remember if they included a seperate charge cable for it or not. Make sure to change the input on your tv to the HDMI input that is now showing the equiso screen or the HDMI input that matches what HDMI port you plugged it onto. Now on device go to "setting" and connect to your wifi. You should be all set!!! Enjoy!

I bought a DVI to HDMI converter to run from my laptop to my new 46" sony bravia. worked fine at first but now it will only display a thin strip of the image at the top of the lcd tv screen. I can see the web address bar or anything at the top of the computer screen but the rest of the tv screen is blank. The laptop computer screen is also flickering while this takes place. Have any suggestions? any tips are greatly appreciated, thanks

Hi Olympus, if your HDTV supports optical connection, you may use an optical cable and connect it to the optical IN of this Sony STRDN850. -Ely

I am reasonably certain that this is only needed if you watch OTA broadcasts (from an antenna) that your TV is decoding (without a DTV converter box) in order to have digital surround. Additionally, if your TV supports streaming media content from the web (via ethernet cable) you will need to this connection - again, to get the audio signal to your surround system. If you do not watch broadcast television and your television does not have an internet connection, you will not need the optical digital connection.I, personally have a Bravia TV that I watch streaming video and OTA broadcasts. I plan to purchase the HTSS360 soon as I don't currently have an HTS and can't stand the sound of the built-in TV speakers.

There is a specific HDMI cable that connects the TV to the Internet. This allows you to connect easily and may be the solution to the end of Cable TV

Under BD/DVD viewing settings there is a setting to allow BD internet connection. Not shown in manual.

If you have an older (non-HD tv), using the HDMI is pointless, just use the best hookup your tv DOES have, which would probably be Composite (the red/blue/green cable), followed by S-Video if it's even older, or the component (yellow) cable as your last resort.Component cables will transfer up to 1080i quality, and will be more than enough for a standard CRT television.

Hi, John. If your TV has an ethernet or Wi-Fi capability, it should be able to connect to the internet.

I think this is just for the internet tv's. Vizio should have a list of compatible sets though.

Look for the USB port on the side of your TV and plug into it. This help you connect your TV to your WiFi network and get Internet-based programs such as YouTube.

I am still unable to bridge this device so I can receive the internet over my television. Now Amazon is advising me that my product comments will be removed because it is the product and not the seller who created the problem. The seller sold me a unit at top price that was out of date. Be careful and I pray that you can get your system to work, mine will NOT.... Good luck

You need to have a wireless access point on your network and have it configured correctly. The actual internet service you have doesn't have anything to do with the connectivity of this television. Check the TV's wifi specs and purchase a wireless access point (sometimes referred to as a router with a wireless radio) that is capable of transmitting a signal that is compatible with the TV's wireless card. If you are unsure how to do any of this, I'd recommend hiring someone to set it up for you.

Simply connect an HDMI cablefrom the "audio/video out" of the cable box or receiver into the appropriate "audio/video in" slot at the back of the Sony sub-woofer. Then connect another HDMI cable from the "audio/video out" from the sub-woofer to the "video in" slot on the HDTV. HDMI supports both picture and sound. There is also a slot for a DVD player on the back of the sub-woofer. Just plug the DVD player video out into this slot using an HDMI cable and nothing else is required. Use high speed HDMI cables when playing Blu-Ray or 3D movies. In fact 3D won't work without them.
