Connecting through your DSL or cable modem (external modem required), or other broadband connection.

You need additional equipment:

■ Router (required) — A router lets you share the

broadband connection between your de100c and a PC or other Internet-connected device.

See your router's manual for details on router connections and configuration.

■ Ethernet cable (optional) — If your router or home

network uses an Ethernet connection, purchase this cable separately. Home phoneline network users (Home PNA): use phone cable supplied.

choose a location

Place your digital entertainment center where you can easily connect it to:

■ your television

■ your stereo or audio/video receiver

■ an Internet connection (wall jack or

router connection)

■ a power outlet

Caution:  Do not block the airflow vents on top of 

the device.

The digital entertainment center's infrared receiver requires an unobstructed signal from the remote. If  you place your de100c inside a cabinet, make sure the blue window area is not blocked from view.

connect the audio

Connect one end of the audio  cable to the dec100c's analog  audio OUT jacks.

Match red to red, white to white.

alternatives

■ If you use an audio/video receiver, you can connect

the video cable to the de100c's video OUT jack and to a video IN jack on your receiver. Audio and video connections from the de100c must enter the receiver within the same device group (for example, through an AUX group).

■ If your TV does not have a composite video IN jack

available for use but another device in your system (such as a VCR) does, you can connect the de100c to that device's video IN jack. With this daisy-chained method, the device the connection passes through must be powered on when you use the de100c.

■ The de100c also has S-video and VGA connections.

To use one of these outputs, purchase the appropriate cable separately.

c 

connect dial-up OR broadband

dial-up

Connect one end of the phone cord to one of the de100c's phone jacks.

sharing a phone jack

To share a household phone jack between your digital entertainment center and a telephone, either:

■ plug the phone splitter into your

household phone jack, then connect the de100c and the phone to the splitter, or

■ plug your telephone´s cord into the

de100c´s second phone jack.

broadband: Ethernet

If your router or home network requires an Ethernet connection:

Connect one end of your Ethernet cable to the de100c's Ethernet port.

Connect the other end to  your router (or to a networked  RJ45 jack in your home).

broadband: Home PNA

If you have a home phoneline network (your home is networked to your router via telephone wire within the walls):

Connect one end of the phone cord (provided) to one of the de100c's phone jacks.

Connect the other end of the phone cord to a networked phone jack in your home.
