Get to know your HELIOS X5000

Thank you for purchasing the HELIOS X5000 HD Network Media player.

The HELIOS X5000 is built with professional-grade components and state-

of-the-art features. Unlike your standard DVD player, the X5000 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:

Select the correct power supply voltage

Voltage switch

The HELIOS X5000 works under 220-240V or 110V

voltage. Before you connect this player to your

power source, be sure to check the back of your

player to see if the voltage switch is set to the

right setting. The voltage switch (see diagram on

the left) shows the current voltage setting. Flip the

switch to the right to select 220/240V mode; flip

the switch to the left for 110V mode.

Connecting HELIOS X5000 to your video display equipment

The HELIOS X5000 offers 3 different video output options and 15 different video output resolutions. Proper video setup is critical to ensure optimum results.

1. Standard-definition video connections

If your display device only supports standard-definition video input (PAL or NTSC), you can choose to connect your TV with the HELIOS X5000 via composite video cable, S-video cable or component cable.

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 connection:

If your display device has an HDMI or DVI video connection and supports one the resolutions listed below, you can connect the HELIOS X5000 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 X5000 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

After connecting your TV with the HELIOS X5000 using the appropriate video cable, you may need to press the <TV Mode> button on the remote control several times until you see a clear image on your TV screen. 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. Select <video setting> and choose your corresponding video mode from

the drop down menu that appears. To exit the setup menu click <Setup> again.

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.
