Activating the Media Player

1. Once you have followed the steps above (in the Connection Diagram for YPbPr or the

Connection Diagram for HDMI section) to set up the media player properly, please turn
on your TV.

2. When you turn on your TV, you must switch the “VIDEO” source for your TV FIRST.

You can either do it with the remote or the buttons on your TV set.

Tip: your remote should have a button with a function like the video source switch, as
the picture shown below.

Note: this picture is for reference only

3. You may see a picture like the one below on your TV screen.

Tip: choose “Component” if you connect the media player unit to a TV with YPbPr
cables. Select “HDMI” if you connect it with a HDMI cable.

4. The main screen will appear on your TV once you

have switched to the appropriate video source.

However, it is possible to encounter the

“black screen” like the gure at the right.

Tips to solve this problem:

a.Since the default output mode of the media player is “PAL Composite”, you can
connect with AV cables in order to see the picture on the screen, though be in lower

picture denition with approximately 480i. To do so, plug the yellow one of the AV cable

into the Y (the green) port of the media player and then connect the AV cable to AV
input ports of your TV set. Then, you can change the output mode for better pictures
in “SETTING” and do the change at “TV System”. (please refer to the SETTING --> TV
System section of this manual)

b.Another way to solve this problem is to press the “Video Standard” button on the
media player remote control to switch the video output modes of the media player.

9

The “Video Standard” button on the media
player remote:
Each time you press this button, the video
output mode is switched in the following order:
” PAL Composite / PAL Interlace / PAL
Progressive / NTSC Composi te / HD YPbPr /
HDMI / NTSC Interlace/NTSC Progressive”.

You will see the picture when you switch to the
video output mode that matches your signal
(YPbPr, HDMI) and TV system.

For instance, if you use YPbPr as your output mode, you may see “black and white”
pictures or incorrect colors. A good way to solve it is to enter “SETTINGS” on the main
menu and choose “HD YPbPr” at the “TV System”.
