      If you cannot establish a connection with the Sony Computer Accessories base station, ensure the base station is powered on. Verify that the base station domain name or static IP address are correct. Also, ensure your computer is connected to a network and has internet access. Check that your network environment meets the requirements for the NetAV function and that updating dynamic DNS is not failing. If using a firewall, ensure NetAV uses port 5021. Note that you cannot connect while another monitor is connected by NetAV. Finally, verify that the device is registered and that its registration information hasn't been deleted from the [Register Other Monitors] screen on the base station.

    Why does the NetAV connection break off suddenly on my Sony Computer Accessories?
    • R
      Rodney SmithAug 21, 2025
      If the NetAV connection for your Sony Computer Accessories breaks off suddenly, it might be due to your software's firewall blocking NetAV. Consider if any security software, like anti-virus or anti-spam programs, have been installed recently. Also, check if the message “AV connection started by other monitor” appears. If [Allow AV interception by registered monitors] is selected on the [Register Other Monitors] screen of the LF-X1/LF-X5, you can watch video by selecting [Connect] again. If this option is not selected, a NetAV connection cannot be established while video is being watched on the LF-X1/LF-X5 monitor.

      George GonzalezAug 31, 2025
      If the remote control responds as though the button were pushed several times with a single button push on your Sony Computer Accessories, make sure you're not holding down the mouse button too long when clicking. Also, verify that the specified rate is not too high in relation to the actual line speed.
