– 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.
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.

Router / DSL modem
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 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.
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.

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.
Wireless
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.
