DivX® is a video technology that compresses video. When streaming video to devices like the DSM-510 it is important to use smaller
bandwidth files in order to eliminate interrupted video transmission. Using DivX® to compress your videos allows you to save them
and send them much more efficiently.

video files.

Wired Users: Connect an Ethernet cable directly from the DSM-510’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet port on
your PC. The DSM-510’s Ethernet port is Auto MDI/MDI-X, so a special Ethernet cable is not required.

• Make sure your TV is displaying the appropriate video source. You may need to use the AV Input, Source, Select, or
TV/Video button on your TV or TV remote to change video sources. If you are having trouble changing the video source,
refer to the instructions that came with your TV.
• If you did not connect the player directly to your TV, but are instead passing the signal through your VCR, make sure
your VCR is displaying the appropriate video source. You may need to use the Input or Source button on your VCR
or VCR’s remote control. Some VCRs only pass the signal through when they are turned off. If you are having trouble
displaying the correct video source, refer to the instructions that came with your VCR.
• Make sure cables are connected to the IN jacks on your TV or VCR, not the OUT jacks.
• The cables you are using to connect your receiver to your TV or other equipment may be damaged or defective. Try
exchanging the cables connected to the receiver with other cables that you know are working properly.
• Make sure you have firmly attached the power adapter plug to the back of the player. Also, verify the power adapter is
plugged into a working power outlet and that the outlet is not controlled by a light switch.
