ENG
Installation
Connecting to a network
Your ECM requires a broadband internet connection for getting
media info, playing internet content and for software updates.
A network connection is also required for streaming content
from network attached storage (NAS) and network media share
locations. Your ECM provides two methods of connecting to a
network: Wired network connection (using an Ethernet cable) or
wireless network connection (using the built in wireless adapter).
• Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port of your ECM to connect to a wired network.
• Your ECM will automatically try to connect to your network when a network cable is detected.
(Please refer to the Wired network setup section for detailed instructions on how to manually
setup a wired network connection)
Wired network connection (Recommended)
• Connect the supplied wireless antenna to your ECM if you want to connect to a wireless network.
• Configure your wireless network connection in the network setup menu of your ECM
(Please refer to the Wireless network setup section for detailed instructions about how to connect
to a wireless network)
i
Wireless network connection
NOTE:
A wired connection is recommended whenever possible for speed and stability. The wireless network option
is not used if wired network access is detected.
Connecting media storage
Your ECM can play media from both internal and attached storage devices. The ECM can also play media
files from network sources such as network attached storage (NAS) devices and network media shares.
(Refer to the Network/NAS section under Managing sources for more information on how to access
media from network locations)
USB discs
• Your ECM supports playback of video and audio files stored on external USB disk drives or
USB thumb drives/memory sticks. (Please refer to section for supported file formats for a
complete list of supported file formats) You may connect USB discs or thumb drives to any of the
4 USB inputs on your ECM.
i
NOTE:
USB devices are read-only. The ECM will never write to your disk in order to prevent data corruption.
USB storage may be removed at all times.
8
Installation
Local disc installation
Your ECM supports adding an internal hard drive or SSD for storing media files. A drive with a SATA interface
drive is required for this connection. Both 3,5” and 2,5” drives can be mounted.
All common filesystems are supported, including: NTFS, ExFAT, FAT, EXT4, HFS+
NOTE:
The disk will be formatted for use. All data on the drive will be lost. If the hard drive is installed it will be turned
off when not in use. This prevents vibrations from negatively influencing audio playback quality.
ECM have no limitations for internal disk capacity.
How to install internal hard drive

Installation
Connecting digital audio inputs
Your ECM is equipped with a high quality digital to analog converter (DAC) to give you the very best
audio quality from your digital media files.
The DAC section of your ECM is also equipped with 4 digital inputs for connecting external digital audio
sources such as: CD players, TV decoders/Set top boxes, etc.
Use these inputs to take advantage of superb analogue audio quality of your ECM, getting the best pos-
sible audio quality from all your digital sources.
Your ECM supports connecting up to 4 different digital audio sources. 2 RCA plugs (labeled COAX 1
and COAX 2) for connecting S/PDIF coaxial audio cable and 2 Toslink plugs (Labeled TOSLINK 1 and
TOSLINK 2) for connecting S/PDIF optical cable.
NOTE:
Audio from the digital inputs of your ECM will be available on the analogue outputs only.
The digital inputs supports PCM 96kHz/24bit on Toslink and PCM 192kHz/24bit on COAX.
Connecting trigger in/out
Your ECM is equipped with trigger input and trigger output ports. These ports can be used for automati-
cally putting your ECM and other equipment into, or wake up from, standby mode.
Use the trigger input port for connecting to a trigger output signal from other equipment. The ECM will
power up (leave standby mode) when a voltage in the range of 8V-20V (AC or DC) is detected on the
trigger input port, and will remain powered on for as long as the voltage is present on the trigger input port.
NOTE:
The ECM will only react to a change in the trigger signal.
When the detected trigger signal goes from low to high, ECM will wake from standby.
i
When the detected trigger signal goes from high to low, ECM will go into standby.
A low trigger signal is dened as less than 1V (AC or DC)
A high trigger signal is dened as more than 8V(AC or DC)
The voltage supplied to the trigger input must not exceed 20V (AC or DC)
A trigger signal is not mandatory to operate the ECM.
Use the trigger output to send the trigger signal to your amplifier, TV, projector or other equipment that
support triggers signals. This signal can be used to automatically switch on/off the connected equipment
when you turn on/off your ECM. Trigger output is 12V DC.
Use a 3,5mm mono jack plug for connecting to trigger input and trigger output.
Initial setup screen
When your ECM is started for the first time,
a setup wizard will guide you through the
basic settings needed to set up your ECM
for optimal performance. The setup wizard
consists of a few easy steps and will only
take a couple of minutes to complete.

your ECM will keep information about your music and
video files from different sources/locations in a library.
The library will hold information about artist, album,
track name, movie title, album/cover images, where
the files are stored, etc.
The library is split into 3 different sections: Music,
Videos and TV Shows. To make your music and video
files available to the ECM, your media files need to be
added to the correct library first.
NOTE:
The library will only hold information about your music/video files for easy navigating through your music/
video collection. It will not hold a copy of your files.
ENG
i
When adding files to the library, the ECM will connect to the internet to
collect information about the files added. The data collected will include
information about artists, albums, tracks, discography, movie titles, actors,
directors, thumbnail pictures etc.
Music added to the library needs to be correctly tagged for the ECM to
collect accurate information from the internet.
Video files added to the library needs to be accurately named for the ECM
to collect accurate information from the internet.
NOTE:
It is important that your media files are tagged / named correctly for the ECM to be able to collect accurate
information.If some of your media les are not recognized properly, please check that all music tags are
spelled correctly and have correct information. If movies or TV series are not recognized, please check lename spelling, try using the original title and add release year to the le name.

Precautions
•
Before connecting the AC power cord to the appliance, make sure the voltage designation of the appliance corresponds to the local electrical supply. If you are unsure of your power supply, contact your local
power company. The acceptable power input range is AC ~100V-240V, 50/60Hz.
•
The player is still receiving power from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the player itself has been turned off.
•
Unplug the power cord if you are not going to use the product for an extended period of time. Hold the
power switch when unplugging. Do not pull on the cord.
•
The power switch is used as the mechanism for cutting off power, therefore make sure it is easy to unplug.
•
To ensure proper ventilation around this product, do not place this product on a sofa, bed or rug. When
installing this product on a wall or bookshelf, you need to provide appropriate space: we recommend leaving 4 inches (10 cm) of free space at the top, the sides and the rear.
•
High temperature will lead to abnormal operation of this unit. Do not expose this unit or batteries to direct
sunlight or near other heating objects.
•
When moving the player from a cold location to a warm one, or vice versa. Should this occur, the player may
not operate properly. In such a case please turn the unit on for 1-2 hours to facilitate moisture evaporation.
