Please insert the supplied battery before rst use:
• Open the battery cover on the rear side of the remote control.
• Insert the battery into the battery compartment as indicated by the + and - symbols.
• Close the battery compartment again with its cover.
Please follow this common advice when handling batteries:
• If the remote control does not function properly or the range is no longer adequate,
replace the battery with a new one.
• Remove batteries when they are completely empty or if the remote control will not be
used for an extended period. This prevents leaky batteries from damaging your remote
control.
• Never throw batteries into a re!
• Ensure that you use alkaline batteries or, even better, rechargeable batteries.
• Dispose of used batteries at the appropriate disposal facilities.
• Always dispose of batteries in compliance with legal regulations. This helps to protect
the environment.

Connection
Start by connecting your M740 to mains, then establish a video and audio connection to
your TV set and/or your hi- system. Now you can integrate your media player into your
wired or wireless network and nally add external and internal storage devices carrying
movies, music and pictures. The following details will help you getting started.
Power supply
Plug the provided cable into the corresponding connector (7) on the back panel. Please
do not use power cables which you suspect to be damaged. Now set the switch (6) to “I”
in order to feed the player with power.
Video
HDMI
If your TV set features a HDMI connector, you should make use of it instead of the other
video connection options. This way you will benet from maximum video and audio quality (up to 1080p/60Hz) via digital signal transfer. Use the supplied cable to connect the
HDMI interfaces of your M740 and your TV - this will transfer both video and audio signals through one single cable.
Component
If your TV set does not have an HDMI interface, but a Component input consisting of
three coloured RCA connectors (12), you should use this option to transfer your video
signals. Connect the red, green and blue RCA connectors on your NOXON and your
TV with the provided cable. Please note that this will only transfer video signals, which
requires an additional connection for audio.
Composite
The yellow RCA connector also carries a video signal which can be sent to the corresponding input of your TV with the supplied cable. However, the other video connectors
of the M740 offer a better signal quality. This is why you should use this option only in
case the others do not work for you. Also in this case, audio is not transferred together
with the video signal, which requires a separate audio connection.
Audio
Analog
If you’re not using the HDMI interface of your M740, you can send an analogue stereo
audio signal from these two RCA (11) connectors to your TV set or hi- system (the left
audio channel is coded white, the right one is red). Please note that surround audio signals can only be sent via the digital S/PDIF connectors or HDMI.
Coaxial S/PDIF
This yellow coded RCA connector (13) carries an audio signal in the digital S/PDIF format. Please use a standard RCA cable (not included) to establish the connection with
14
your TV or hi- receiver. Depending on the source le, audio is being transferred without
loss in mono, stereo or surround.
Optical S/PDIF
Alternatively, the digital audio signal can be transferred via a light wave cable (not included) according to the TOSLINK standard. Should you use this connection, please make
sure to plug in (14) and treat the cable with a certain care so it is not being bent too much.
Wired network (LAN)
Use a standard CAT 5 cable or similar (not included) for integrating your M740 into your
home network. Plug one of the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding port (16) on your
M740 and the other one into your router, switch or hub. A green LED located at this port
indicates a proper connection on both ends of the cable.
Wireless network (WLAN)
If you prefer to integrate the M740 into a wireless network, you can do so by using the
optional NOXON WLAN stick which uses the very fast 802.11n standard, featuring data
transfer rates of up to 300 MBit/s. It is fast enough to transfer even HD movies without
dropping frames. Of course the NOXON WLAN stick also supports the 802.11b and
802.11g standards as well as the WEP, TKZP, AES, WPA, WPA2 encryption/security
standards.
Memory cards
The front panel of the M740 features a reader (4) for standard memory cards. You can
playback movies, music and pictures from cards which have been inserted into this slot.
The card reader supports SD, SD-HC, MMC, MS and MS Pro cards which can also be
inserted during operation.
External storage devices (USB)
Your M740 features a total of three USB ports for connecting external storage devices
like hard disks and memory sticks – one on the front (5) and two on the back panel (17).
The media content of the storage devices connected to these ports can be accessed
from the specic menus of your M740. Initialising a new device connected here might
take a few seconds.
External hard disk (SATA)
Use the supplied cable to connect a SATA hard disk (not eSATA). Once it has been connected to this port (8), you can play back audio and video data from the external drive.
The cable transfers your media data and the power the HDD requires at the same time.
Internal hard disk (SATA)
In addition or as an alternative to an external hard disk you can also retrot an HDD directly into your media player. Please use a 3,5” SATA standard model, preferably with a
15
M740
17
speed of 5,400 RPM in order to keep the noise level as low as possible. Before installing
the hard disk, please make sure to disconnect your media player from mains. Now open
the SATA bay (19) located on the back panel and insert the HDD carefully with the connectors showing towards the bay and the label showing up. Please make sure not to retain the cover while doing so. After noticing a soft click you can close the cover of the bay.
PC/Mac (USB)
If you have retrotted your M740 with an internal SATA hard disk as described above, you
can establish a connection between your PC/Mac and your media player by inserting a
standard USB cable (not included) into the corresponding port (18). Your computer will
recognize the NOXON as an external hard disk without the need to install any drivers at
all. This is the fastest of several options to transfer media data like movies, music and
images to your M740.
16
Setup
Setup assistant
When you power up the M740 for the rst time, a setup assistant will help you to make
the most basic settings. You can always execute this assistant anew by going to „Options“ > “System“ > “Default“.
Start by choosing the language for the user interface with the Up/Down navigation and
the “OK” button.
The network conguration comes next. If you own a DSL router with an integrated DHCP
server, choose “DHCP IP (Auto)“ and conrm with “OK”. After conrming the question if
you want to save this conguration, your NOXON will automatically connect itself with
your network. Advanced users can also run a manual setup by using a static IP address.
You’ll nd more info on this in the “Network options” chapter.
UPnP server
UPnP means „Universal Plug and Play“. The M740 features an integrated UPnP server
which makes it possible to make the media data like movies, music, and pictures stored
on its internal HDD available to other UPnP capable devices in the same network.
But the M740 does not only act as a server, but it can also be a client and access/play
back media data provided by other UPnP capable devices in the same network.
17
M740
19
The M740 in server mode
When used as a server, the M740 provides its media data via UPnP in the network it is
connected to. These les can be accessed by additional players (clients) connected to
the same network.
Which requirements must be met for UPnP server operation?
• Min. rmware version 1.2.3.5
• Retrotted internal 3,5“ SATA hard disk
• Hard disk must have been formatted with the M740
• Additional software packages must be installed
• Options in the “System“ menu must be changed accordingly
How to activate the UPnP server?
The following is a step-by-step explanation about how to congure the UPnP server function on your NOXON M740.
Please make sure to use the latest Firmware version from our website:
http://www.terratec.net/en/drivers-and-support.html
Step 1: Firmware check/update
Use the navigation and “OK” buttons of your remote control to select the folder “Options”
> “System”. The sub item “System Reinstall” shows the version of the rmware which is
just running on your device. This this version number is lower than 1.2.3.5, you will need
to install a new rmware before proceeding.
Please follow these steps to do so:
• Download the latest rmware for your M740 from the following website:
http://www.terratec.net/en/drivers-and-support.html
• Copy the le “install.img” into the main directory of a USB memory stick
• Connect this memory stick to one of the USB ports of your M740
• Select “System Reinstall“ and conrm with “OK”
• Important: Do not switch the unit off while the rmware update is in progress!
Step 2: Install an internal hard disk
Please use a 3,5” SATA standard model, preferably with a speed of 5,400 RPM in order
to keep the noise level as low as possible. Before installing the hard disk, please make
sure to disconnect your media player from mains. Now open the SATA bay (19) located
on the back panel and insert the HDD carefully with the connectors showing towards the
bay and the label showing up. Please make sure not to retain the cover while doing so.
After noticing a soft click you can close the cover of the bay.
Step 3: Format the hard disk
In this next step the hard disk will be formatted and prepared for the UPnP server mode.
18
To start formatting, please select „Setup“, „Options“ and „HDD Format“ in the main menu.
A sub-menu will open in which you can select the specic hard disk to be formatted. In
our example it is called „HDD1“. A warning will appear.
ATTENTION: Formatting your HDD will delete all les stored on it. Please make sure to
backup existing les to another storage device if you will need them in the future.
Next you will be asked for conrmation once more. Select “Format” if you are sure you
want to proceed.
Step 4: Installing the required software
The required software packages for the UPnP server mode will be installed automatically
after your NOXON has nished formatting the inserted hard disk. Once the installation
has been completed, push “OK” in order to re-boot your media player.
Step 5: Activating the UPnP server mode
Finally, the UPnP server mode needs to be activated. In order to do so, please navigate
to „System“ > “RC Power Key Function“. Then press the power button on your remote
control to activate the UPnP server.
Note: After pressing the power button on your remote control you have the opportunity to
cancel the activation process by pressing the button again. Your NOXON will enter the
standby mode without activating the UPnP server mode.
A successful UPnP activation will show a “UPnP Server is active“ message on your TV
19
M740
21
screen. Now are the media les in the folders „image“, „movie“ and „music“ on your hard
disk are shared in the network. Other UPnP clients in the same network (e.g. NOXON
iRadio) will now show the entry “NOXON M740“ in their UPnP server list. This might
show up on the clients only after a slight delay.
For advanced users: You can also activate the UPnP server mode while the device is
running by pressing the blue button on your remote control. However, this may reduce
the performance of your NOXON M740 and the UPnP client.
Adding new media les
You can transfer videos, pictures or audio les from your USB sticks, hard disks or memory cards to your M740 with the integrated le manager. You can also connect your
NOXON M740 to your computer via the USB connector (18) on the back of your device
and use it as an external hard disk. If the UPnP server mode is activated, les can also
be transferred from a device in the same network the NOXON M740 is located in, for
example by inserting the IP address of your M740 (e.g. \\192.168.1.19) in the address
bar of the Windows Explorer.
ATTENTION: To access your les via the UPnP server please make sure to place them
into the correct corresponding folders. In other words, copy your video, picture, and music les into the folders “movies”, “images” and “music“. The UPnP database will update
itself every 60 minutes. This may result in a delayed availability of your newly added les.
To shorten this process you can restart your media player after adding new les.
How to access the provided les
Once the M740 is set to server mode, external UPnP capable clients can access the les
located on its internal HDD. For example, on a connected Windows PC you will nd the
M740 as a new device in the network environment. On a Mac you can nd the M740 in
the “Shared” tab of the Finder.
The M740 in client mode
When used as a so called client, the M740 can access and play back media data which
are hosted by another device via UPnP in the same network. Please make sure to run the
M740 in standard and not in server mode if you want to use it as a client. Of course, you
need at least one additional UPnP device acting as the server in this scenario.
Microsoft Windows
Windows Media Player (Version 11 or 12) is the simplest way to add such a server, since
it already has this service built in. Via the “Stream” menu item, select the “Enable media
streaming” function.
In the following dialogue you now have to enable this service explicitly and then activate
the corresponding devices, if you have multiple receivers. Now the NOXON can access
the music data in your library.
20
Mac OSX
Unfortunately, Apple does not supply any UPnP program itself, so it is necessary to rely
on a third-party supplier. Elgato offers a solution with its EyeConnect software. This is
available for free as a trial version and can be used with the full range of its functions
(including video streaming) for 30 days.
Even after this period, however, the Lite version remains available, which makes audio
les in the network available without restrictions. You will nd this software at Elgato’s
website: www.elgato.com.

23
M740
25
You can always use the “Before” button (14) on your remote to return to the window
where you had been before changing to the one which is currently displayed. Also, the
main menu button can be used in any situation to return back there.
Note: If you have selected the Photo menu item, for example, although you wanted to
call up Movies, you do not have to navigate back to the main menu overview. After the
selection, you can switch the display between videos, photos and music via the Left/
Right navigation buttons. The currently selected lter is displayed at the upper edge of
the screen!
Media menu
This menu shows a list of all movies, photos and music available on a selected storage

jumps into the target window where you can select a drive the same way. Should you
want to change the source drive at this point, use the Left navigation button to return to
the source window.
Note: The le manager always shows all supported source and target storage devices –
even when they are not connected at the moment. For example, the items “Network” or
“DVD” (for an external DVD drive connected via USB) will be shown even when only a
USB memory stick and the internal HDD are connected to your M740. However, les can
only be transferred between currently connected targets and sources.
The next step takes you to the list of available les. Should you use sub folders to organize your les, you can select the desired folder with the Up/Down navigation buttons and
access it with “OK”. Now use the Up/Down buttons to go to the movie, music and image
les you want to copy or move and select them with the red option button on your remote.
Pressing the red button on an already selected le will deselect it.
When you have nished selecting les, press the Right navigation button in order to

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General
Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code
or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these
rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you
35
M740
37
must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too,
receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know
their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this
license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author‘s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modied by
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not
the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reect on the original
authors‘ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid
the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses,
in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone‘s free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modication follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by
the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public
License. The „Program“, below, refers to any such program or work, and a „work based
on the Program“ means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
modications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term „modication“.) Each licensee is addressed as „you“.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and
the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that
is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program‘s source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your
option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming
a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modications or work under
the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modied les to carry prominent notices stating that you changed
the les and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no
36
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modied program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print
or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that
there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole. If identiable sections of that
work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent
and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of
the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees
extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution
medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that
you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party,
for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only
if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface denition les, plus the scripts used
to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed
(in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)
of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself ac-
37
M740
39
companies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same
place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will
not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However,
nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative
works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore,
by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute
or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any
further restrictions on the recipients‘ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any
other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by
court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they
do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to
satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both
it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is
intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property
right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented
by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of
that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence
of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
38
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body
of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the
present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program species a version
number of this License which applies to it and „any later version“, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two
goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM „AS IS“ WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR
OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES
OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
