Get to know your HELIOS X3000

Thank you for purchasing the HELIOS X3000 HD Network Media player.

The HELIOS X3000 is built with professional-grade components and state-

of-the-art features. Unlike your standard DVD player, the X3000 is somewhat

of a mini-computer. And like all other computers, it will take some time for

this player to start up because it loads different software. It takes about 10

seconds for the player to fully turn itself on. Once on, please note that it

takes a little bit of time to switch from feature to feature.

Out of the box to-do list:

Connecting HELIOS X3000 to your video display equipment

The HELIOS X3000 offers 3 different video output options and 15 different video output resolutions. Proper video setup is critical to ensure optimum results.

2. High-definition video connections

Component video connections:

If your TV has component input and supports one of the resolutions listed below, you can use a component video cable to connect the player with your TV. Component video output offers PAL, NTSC, 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 720p/50hz, 1080i/50hz and 1080p resolutions.

HDMI connections:

If your display device has an HDMI or DVI video connection and supports one the resolutions listed below, you can connect the HELIOS X3000 via HDMI connection or DVI connection. To use a DVI video connection you will need to connect the HDMI output of the player to your TV with the optional HDMI-to-DVI converter cable.

The HELIOS X3000 has one HDMI digital video output. From these outputs you can get the following resolutions:

480p/ 576p/ 720p/ 1080i/ 720P 50hz/ 1080i 50hz/ 1080p.

3. Setup video mode

Once you get a clear image on the screen, press the <Setup> button on your remote control to enter the setup menu. From the Setup menu, navigate to the <system> submenu.

4. To get audio using your HDMI connection

The HELIOS X3000 digital HDMI output can output either a DVI (video only) or HDMI (Audio and video) signal to your TV. A DVI TV can not accept a HDMI signal so therefore the default setting is for the HDMI to output a DVI signal. To enable full HDMI output (audio and video), you must first select a HDMI resolution in the above step 3. and clear the Connected to DVI TV check box. Next, press Save and restart the player. When the player restarts you will have both audio and video over your HDMI connection.
