The new D2740 features onboard wireless 802.11g networking and wired Ethernet for simplified one touch connection to the home network. Owners of the D2740 can enjoy their stored audio and video content or personal Rhapsody library on the TV screen in the comfort of their living room, and enjoy their favorite music on any stereo or home theater system.
