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.

3. VGA connector

– When using normal PC applications, picture quality may not

be optimal.

– When using normal PC applications, picture quality may not

be optimal.

– Some TVs automatically switch between 4:3 and 16:9 image

ratio according to the Wide Screen Signaling information.The
Media Center however does not support Wide Screen
Signaling (WSS). Please consult the User manual that came
with your TV on how to select image ratio manually.

– In case of SCART connection, some small bars might appear

on all sides of the screen.This is not a defect

Ethernet (LAN)

Router / DSL modem

Ethernet connection

• Connect the ethernet cable between the router/DSL

• 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.

can use the FM cable.

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.

Connecting to the mains

After connecting all desired equipment as described, you
can connect the Media Center to a wall socket.

1 Make sure all connections have been made before con-

necting the Media Center to the mains supply.

2 First connect the mains lead to the AC-INPUT (10) and

then to a wall socket.

> The Standby/On indicator (on the STANDBY-ON key 1)

lights up orange.

> The Media Center is now in low power mode, consuming

only a minimum amount of power.

Switching ON

• To switch on the Media Center from low-power mode,

press the y STANDBY-ON key (1) on the front of
the Media Center.

> The Standby/On indicator (1) goes out.

• Press the y STANDBY-ON key (1) again to put the

Media Center back to low-power mode.

Switching to standby

• When the Media Center is switched on (Standby/On

indicator out), press the y Standby key (1) on the
remote control to place the Media Center in standby
mode.

> The Standby/On indicator (1) lights up red.

• To switch the Media Center on again from standby

mode, press the y Standby key (1) on the remote
control again or the y STANDBY-ON key (1) on the
front of the Media Center.

> The Standby/On indicator (1) goes out.

Note: In both low-power and standby mode the Media Center is

still consuming some power.To disconnect the Media
