Hardware Installation
Step1: Verify Your Network Condition
netTV Box is a plug-n-play IP TV Box. As long as your home network is the same as the diagram below, you could
easily complete the installation and start enjoying your TV on the go - just through the following simple steps.(
If your
connection structure is not the same as the following diagram, please refer to the next Chapter [Network
Configuration] for help.)
Use IP Router with UPnP function to connect netTV Box to your ADSL/Cable Modem which directs you to internet. (If
you have a switch or hub, you can also connect it between the netTV Box and IP Router or between the IP Router
and Modem for your convenience.)
Installation

Step 2: Connect to Your Network
Take the enclosed RJ-45 Ethernet Cable and plug it into
the LAN port of your IP router; plug the other end of the
RJ-45 Ethernet Cable into the ETHERNET port at the back
of netTV Box.
Installation

Step 3: Connect to TV Sources
CONNECTING CABLE OR
ANTENNA
Disconnect the existing Coaxial/RF cable from
your TV's RF/Antenna IN and reconnect it to
the Antenna IN of netTV Box.
Use the enclosed RF cable and RF adapter to
connect the Antenna OUT of your netTV Box to
the RF IN of your TV.
CONNECT AUDIO/VIDEO
SOURCE
Use the enclosed Composite Cable or S-Video
Cable(i.e., not supplied) to connect the AV
OUT of your video device to the AV1 IN of
netTV Box labeled VIDEO, AUDIO-L, AUDIO-R,S-VIDEO.
We recommend you to connect Video IN to a Camera and S-Video & Audio IN to your Cable/Satellite box or DVR devices.
Therefore, you could have a better video quality and the optimal use of the video inputs of this product.
CONNECT OUTPUT (OPTIONAL)
Use the enclosed A/V output cable to connect the terminal marked “AV1 OUT” on the netTV Box. Connect the same cable
type for the output back to your TV as you used for the input to the netTV Box
Installation

Step 4: Connect the IR Blaster Cable
（If you don’t install other video sources except TV, skip the step）
With netTV Player, the netTV Box can learn
signals of the remote control of a video
device to control the video devices with the
on-screen virtual remote control. Place the
IR Blaster cable heads on the top and
bottom of your video device so they point at
its remote sensor.
Connect the IR Blaster cable to the IR
Blaster port on the front of netTV Box.
While conducting the learning of the
physical remote control, please aim your physical remote control at the front LED cap of netTV Box. Keep the distance
between the physical remote control and netTV Box within 2 inches.
In order to learn remote control precisely, please move far from the devices with IR function. (i.e., move far from
mobile phone, notebook and so on.)

Step 3
Below you could find how to connect the network Video Box which is connected to a non-UPnP router (or UPnP is
enabled but it does not work).
Under the DHCP connection, since the Router will reassign an IP address to the device connected after the power is
restarted, and it may change the correspondence between the Network Video Box and the DMZ or Virtual Server,
you have to fix the IP of the Network Video Box by setting Static DHCP (or Address Reservation) on your router to
bind the IP assigned to the Network Video Box to its MAC address.
Note:
Static DHCP or Address Reservation may be given a different name from router to router.
First of all, enter the setting page of your router and locate the DHCP setting. Select [Dynamic DHCP Clients List] to
check up the IP assigned to the Network Video Box and its MAC address. (Remarks: the MAC address of the
Network Video Box could be located on the sticker at the bottom of the Box.)
