Connect a video cable from Entré’s Video Output jack to your TV's Video IN
jack shown above.
Before making any video connections to the TV you must choose the type of
connection you will use:
•Component video connections provide the best video quality; S-Video connections provide video quality that is superior to standard composite video
connections.
•If your A/V receiver is a Kenwood model with Universal Video™ or Universal Video™ HD, connect Entré to the TV using the highest quality connection type possible, and connect your receiver to Entré using that same type
of connection. See your receiver's Setup and Connection Guide for more
information about connecting video components to your receiver.
•If your A/V receiver is not a Kenwood model with Universal Video™ or Universal Video™ HD, connect Entré to the TV using the same type of video
connection that is being used between the rest of your video components
and your A/V receiver. (You must use the same type of connection for all of
your video components.)
•If your TV does not have any video connections at all (it only has antenna
connections), you must purchase an RF modulator that converts video signals into antenna signals to use your TV with Entré. You should be able to
find an RF modulator at a store specializing in electronic parts.
•If you previously connected your TV directly to your VCR, you must now
connect it through Entré.

Watching TV without Turning on Entré
The connection described here sets your TV up as a monitor you can use to
view media played on your other video devices (such as a VCR or DVD player)
via Entré. You can still watch TV without having to use Entré—simply turn on
your TV as you normally do.

Finding Supported Internet Service Providers
You must have a compatible third-party Internet Service Provider (ISP) in order
to use Entré to access the Internet. Because free ISPs, AOL, and CompuServe do
not use standard methods of Internet connectivity, and do not open their
networks to outside users, you cannot use these ISPs with Entré. If you do not
currently have a supported ISP, during the setup process you will be given a
phone number to call to set up an account with a supported ISP, or you can
establish an account on your own with a supported ISP.
There are three different ways to establish a connection to the Internet:
•If you have a dialup ISP, connect the Input phone line to the phone jack
labeled “Wall” on the back of Entré.
You can plug a telephone into the phone jack labeled “Phone”
on the back of Entré.
Use a minimum of No. 26 AWG wire for telephone cables.
•If you have either DSL or cable modem service, you will need to purchase
an Ethernet adapter and connect Entré as shown below.
Entré supports the CATC NetMate Link (#U-ETH-NM02)
Ethernet adapter, which is available from Kenwood via the
Kenwood USA Web site at www.kenwoodusa.com. Go to the
Kenwood Shop link to purchase an adapter, or check for an
updated list of other supported adapters.

Some ISPs require that you type your entire e-mail address,
(for example, “jsmith@isp.net”), as opposed to just your
username (“jsmith”).
When you enter a password in the login password field, the
characters will appear as entered. However, once you move
past that field, each character will appear as an asterisk.

A Home Phone Network Alliance (HomePNA) connection allows you to use
your phone line as if it were a mini-computer network in your home—without
tying up a phone line. Once you connect your computer to a HomePNA

adapter, you can plug Entré into a phone line and access your computer’s
Internet connection anywhere in the house.
If you have a HomePNA connection, Entré automatically checks for a
connected HomePNA network before continuing the Quick Start setup. Once it
finds the network, the Quick Start - IP Addressing screen appears:
If there is no connected network detected, check your
HomePNA connections. Once the problem is resolved, press
to return to the Quick Start process.
Specify from this screen whether your network uses a dynamic or static IP
address.
If your Internet connection uses a dynamic IP address, press . The Quick
Start -Zip Code screen appears. Enter your Zip Code in the field. To complete
setup, press . Entré will automatically install Internet radio stations and
download information about FM/AM radio stations. When Entré is finished, the
following screen will appear:
Press to begin enjoying Entré.
If your Internet connection uses a static IP address, move to the Static button on
the screen and press . The Quick Start - Static IP Info screen appears:
When your network uses a static IP address, it always connects Entré to the
Internet using the same IP address. Every Internet-connected device in your
home (your computer, for example) uses a different IP address. The advantage
of this method is that you can be certain which IP address Entré uses. However,
you must keep track of which IP addresses you assign when adding new
devices.
When your network uses dynamic IP addresses, it uses a range of addresses to
connect Entré to the Internet. Each Internet-connected device in your home
will also connect using that range of addresses. The advantage to dynamic IP
addressing is that you don’t have to remember which IP addresses you’ve
assigned. However, you must ensure that you have enough addresses to support
all of your devices.
If you're not sure what type of IP address your network uses, select Dynamic.
Enter the IP address information provided by your ISP or network administrator.

Continuing Quick Start with an Ethernet Connection
If you have an Ethernet connection (DSL, cable modem, or LAN), Entré
automatically checks for a USB-to-Ethernet adapter before continuing. Once it
finds the adapter, the Quick Start - IP Addressing screen appears:
If there is no connected network detected, you must purchase
a USB-to-Ethernet adapter in order to connect to the Internet
with Entré. One compatible adapter is the CATC NetMate Link
(#U-ETH-NM02), which is available from Kenwood via the
Kenwood USA Web site at www.kenwoodusa.com. Go to the
Kenwood Shop link to purchase an adapter. For a list of other
compatible adapters, see the Kenwood USA Web site. Once
you have connected the adapter, press to return to the
Quick Start process.
When your network uses a static IP address, it always connects Entré to the
Internet using the same IP address. Every Internet-connected device in your
home (your computer, for example) uses a unique IP address. The advantage of
this method is that you can be certain which IP address Entré uses. However,
you must keep track of which IP addresses you assign when adding new
devices.
