How to connect MAC and Philips WiFi MediaConnect Software

Run the WiFi MediaConnect software designed for Windows platform in a virtualised Windows environment.

* There is a free app for Mac called VirtualBox. After you install VirtualBox, you can install a copy of Windows 'under' VirtualBox.

* Make sure you give the Windows machine a bridged network connection.

* Also install and run the WiFi media connect software in the virtual windows environment.

* Make sure your TV is switched on and connected to your home network.

* Make sure your PC is connected to the same network as your TV. You can do this by checking the IP address of both devices.

The first three decimals should be the same: e.g. PC (192.168.1.10) and TV (192.168.1.12).

* For the TV to be visible within the network, the “Show PC media files” setting which is located in the “Network settings” menu should be set to “ON”.

* If your PC is running a firewall program, check that your firewall allows “Wi-Fi MediaConnect” to send and receive data through the network. Refer to your firewall documentation on how to do this.

* After you connect your TV and PC to your network, wait for a minutes before you start to project. It can take a little time to establish new connections.
