Connecting a TV / monitor
Your Media Center needs an Internet connection to download the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) and channel frequen­cy information. Make sure that you have access to a dial-up or broadband Internet connection before starting your Media Center software setup. Contact your Internet service provider for more information about setting up your Internet con­nection.Also see ‘Connecting to the Internet’.
Your Media Center is equipped with four TV OUT / MONITOR OUT connectors: S-VIDEO OUT (6), DVI OUT (7), VGA (16) and SCART (21).The DVI (to HDMI) connection is recommended as it offers the highest picture quality. If your TV is equipped with a CVBS connector, you can use the SCART to SVHS / CVBS adapter to make a CVBS connection.
Locate your connector:
Please, first check the type of connector your TV / monitor is equipped with before making any connections.You can locate your connector in the overview below.The sequence (1-6) also indicates the order of picture quality of the various connectors.
CAUTION! Be sure the Media Center is switched off and disconnected from the mains before making any con-
nections.
Notes: – Unless indicated otherwise, all Media Center inputs and outputs mentioned are located on the rear of the Media Center. – First make all required video (TV / monitor) connections, then refer to the ‘Connecting audio’chapter for instructions on how
to make audio connections on the Media Center.
1. DVI-D connector
Recommended. Full reso­lution and digital connec­tion.
2. HDMI connector
Recommended. Full reso­lution and digital connec­tion.

Ethernet (LAN)
Router / DSL modem
Ethernet connection
Connect the ethernet cable between the router/DSL
modem and the LAN connector (8) of the Media Center.
For settings, contact your Internet service provider.
Connecting to the Internet
The Media Center requires an Internet connection to access the Internet. Make sure you have access to a dial-up or broadband Internet connection before starting Media Center software setup. Contact your Internet service provider for more information about setting up your Internet connection.
The Media Center offers three possible ways for connecting to the Internet: 1 via the ethernet cable to a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) modem (if you have a wired network); 2 via the telephone cable to connect to the telephone line (if you have a dial-up modem); 3 wireless connection to a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) modem (if you have a wireless network).
If you connect (either wired or wireless) the Media Center to an existing home network with centrally shared broadband Internet access for all connected computers, you can connect the Media Center directly to your central network device (the router/gateway). In this way, the Media Center can access the Internet just like your other computers and you do not need to install ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to make Internet access available to your Media Center.

Internet
Wireless connection
Wireless base stations (and wired Internet gateway rou­ters) share their broadband Internet access automatically within the network.
Notes: –We strongly recommend the use of an encryption key to
protect your network against intruders.
– Wireless LAN antennas (802.11b/g) are already integrated
in the set so there is no need for connecting a wireless USB adapter in order to integrate the Media Center in your wire­less netwerk.
1 Check your existing wireless network settings to enter
them upon request during Media Center setup. Determine the wireless network name (SSID) and the encryption key(s) you used for securing your wireless network.
Wireless Network Name (SSID - Service Set Identifier):
Usually, you can find the wireless network name in the options menu of your wireless network adapter or wireless base station.To check this, open the program that came with your network adapter.
Encryption key:
The wireless encryption key can be either a WEP code or a WPA code. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides basic protec­tion for home networks and uses 64- or 128-bit encryption keys.
- 64-bit: 5 characters ASCII, or 10 characters HEX, or
- 128 bit: 13 characters ASCII, or 26 characters HEX.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) offers up to 256-bit encryption keys, which are much harder to decode than WEP encryption keys. WPA increases the level of data protection and access control for wireless networks.
Note: Both network name (SSID) and encryption key are case
sensitive, meaning that ‘ABC’ is not the same as ‘aBc’. Always input characters in the correct case to avoid pro­blems.
2 Write down your encryption key(s) and SSID.You may
need them when installing the Media Center.
3 Upon request enter your SSID and encryption key to
add the Media Center to the wireless network. Refer to the base station (wireless access point) user manual for details.

1 Connect the FM cable to the RF IN FM (1) connector
of the Media Center.
2 Position and vary the direction of the FM antenna until
you find the strongest reception.Then secure the anten­na in that position.
