Troubleshooting

If you are unable to see a picture on your TV:

• Verify that your TV is turned on and set to the correct video input. Usually
pressing the input or source button on your TV or TV remote will allow you to
change the video input. Please refer to your TV user manual if you are unsure
how to change the input/source.

• Ensure that the power adapter is connected properly to your MovieNite and
that it is plugged in to a working power source.

• Verify that the cables for your Media Player and your TV are pushed in all the
way and in the correct ports.

• Make sure the volume on your TV is not on mute or low.

• If your MovieNite is connected to a receiver, verify if the receiver is turned on
and if the cables are pushed in all the way.

• Verify that the input on your TV or receiver matches the output of your
MovieNite player.

If you are having problems connecting to your wireless network
during setup:

• If your wireless signal is weak, change the location of your MovieNite or your
router. Additionally, ensure that there are limited obstructions between your
MovieNite and wireless router. For best results, place the DSM-310 in an open
area/shelf. Do not put it inside a cabinet or entertainment center.

• Temporarily disable your wireless security/encryption on your wireless router
or access point and try connecting again.

• Verify that you entered the correct password for your wireless network.

• Make sure that you selected the correct router/access point on your Auto

Search settings.

If the sound is not working properly:

The MovieNite remote is not working :

• Point the remote directly at the DSM-310, not the TV. If it is still not working,
check if the batteries are inserted correctly and working properly.

• Make sure nothing is blocking the front of the DSM-310.

Step 2 - Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access point, or
launch WPS from its web UI. Please wait about 2 minutes to congure.

If connected directly to your TV

• Verify that the cables for your DSM-310, TV, and receiver are pushed in all the
way and in the correct ports.

• If you are using an HDMI cable, verify that the cable is rmly connected to both
your DSM-310 and the HDMI port on your receiver. Additionally, you should
connect an HDMI cable from your receiver to your TV.

• Verify that the video input on your receiver matches the same output used with
the DSM-310, and that your TV is set to the correct video input. Usually pressing
the input or source button on your TV or TV remote will allow you to change
the video input. Please refer to your TV and/or receiver user manual if you are
unsure how to change the input.

If connected to your home theater receiver

Ethernet Setup

If you have connected an Ethernet cable to the DSM-310 and either DHCP is not
enabled on your router or the DSM-310 cannot obtain an IP address, the Network
Setting error message will appear.

Verify that your Ethernet connection is good. Check the link light on your router
(or switch) is lit in the port that the DSM-310 is connected to. Select Retry and
press the OK button. If you still get an error message, select OK and press the OK
button on your remote.

If DHCP is disabled on your router, you will see the Select Connection Mode
screen. Select Manual IP and press OK to enter the IP settings manually (see
below).

Step 1 - Select the IP box and press OK on your remote. Use the on-screen
keyboard to enter an IP address for the DSM-310. Select Enter and then press the

OK button on your remote.

Step 2 - Repeat step 1 for (subnet) mask, gateway (usually the LAN IP address of

your router), and primary DNS server (usually the LAN IP address of your router).

Step 3 - Select Connect and press the OK button to save your settings and
connect to your network.
