Your O6HD comes with a wide range of connections
to integrate into your home entertainment system and
network:

1. AUDIO

Connect the analog or digital outputs on your O6HD
to the corresponding inputs on your receiver. If you
have an amplifier with balanced inputs we recom­mend this connection as it provides the best possible
audio performance.

2. NETWORK

Your Olive O6HD can be connected wirelessly or
wired to your home network:

WIRELESS: Attach the two WiFi antennas that came
with your O6HD to the connectors marked “WiFi 1”
and “WiFi 2”. The antennas should be positioned
upright for best performance.

WIRED: Simply connect the Ethernet cable from your
router to the Ethernet connector on your O6HD.

For more information how to establish the network
connection th rough the software please refer to
Section 2.3.

The O6HD can be connected via HDMI to your TV. It
replicates the user interface that you would otherwise
see on the LCD. To switch between the LCD and the
TV interface simply press bot h the LEFT and RIGHT
navigation buttons shortly.

4. USB

Connect a USB hard drive to backup and restore
your music library (please see Section 8.3 for more

O6HD is inside a cabinet.

6. POWER

Conn e ct t he p o wer cord to t he O 6 HD p ower
conn e ctor and to the power outlet on your wall. We
highly recommend a UPS system to protect your
O6HD from power surges and blackouts.

Once everything is connected turn on the power
switch and your O6HD will start up. Booting to the
