Chapter 1: Introducing On3
Congratulations! You're moments away from sharing and storing your
library of digital media, including videos, music pictures using the FIA
On3 Digital Media Player and Library.
Introduction
The On3 unit contains advanced video and audio processing technology as
well as an internal 80- or 120-GB hard drive. The unit is simple to setup,
and once your digital data has been installed, it can be easily viewed at
any time since the unit is always on and ready.
No PC is required to view or listen to your entertainment media. With the
FIA On3, the entire family can enjoy high-quality digital entertainment
throughout the entire home.

with. A description of these components follows:
On the front of the On3 Media Server are the following components:

Rear Panel
On the rear or the On3 device are the following components:
Power Connector – Supplies power to the On3 unit.
Ethernet Port – Standard 10/100 Ethernet network port for connecting the
On3 unit to a home network or directly to a PC. If a wireless connection is
not available, this is how digital media is transferred onto the unit.
USB Port – Industry standard USB port that supports an external hard
drive for additional storage. If attaching an external drive, be sure it has its
own power supply.

output if available.
S-video Out – This high-performance video output is superior to
composite video, and should be used if available.

display devices lacking either Component or S-video, this is the option to
use.

Audio Outputs
Optical Digital Audio – Utilizes a fiber optic cable to reduce interference
and signal degradation common when using traditional cables. This option
provides the best audio quality.

devices. Use this option if Optical Digital is unavailable.
Audio (Analog) Out (Primary) – Stereo output for older audio devices
incapable of utilizing either Optical Digital or Coaxial.
Audio (Analog) Out (Auxiliary) – Secondary set of stereo outputs for
another audio device.
