Important Safety Information
To get the most from your movie watching experience, read and follow the
instructions in this guide.
The MovieBeam receiver has no user-serviceable parts. Do not disassemble
the unit, attempt to repair or service it yourself or modify the receiver,
antenna, or remote in any way. Contact with parts inside the receiver may
cause injury or death from electric shock. It can also damage it. If the
MovieBeam receiver, antenna, or remote need service, see Chapter 4.
Avoid damaging the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord, pull
on the plug, not the cord. Keep all cords and cables away from children and
pets. If the power cord is damaged, return it for a replacement.

Setup 1-1
Welcome to the MovieBeam experience!
You are about to experience a new way to watch movies. With the MovieBeam receiver, you can
watch what you want, when you want. Because movies are beamed right to your home, you’ll have
no more trips to the video rental store and no more late fees.
Basic Setup 1-2
Things you can do with the MovieBeam receiver
The MovieBeam receiver comes with up to 100 movies already loaded onto it - new Hollywood
blockbusters and classic video favorites. Every week, you’ll receive ten to twelve new movies at
about the same time they arrive in video stores. Movies are available whenever you’re ready to
watch them. You can watch full-length studio trailers for all 100 movies, then search by title, actor,
director, and genre. As you watch a film, you can pause, fast forward, and rewind in the same way
you would a DVD or VCR. You can watch a movie as often as you want during the 24-hour rental
period. You can also set parental controls such as spending limits and viewing limits.
Sources of information and support

www.MovieBeam.com.
Feature updates
Occasionally, new features are added. We broadcast software updates in the same way we
broadcast movies, over the air. When this happens, your MovieBeam receiver will automatically
reboot so that the changes can take effect. If the update occurs while you’re watching a movie,
you can delay the update until you’re done.
How to use this guide
Use this guide as you install and learn to use your MovieBeam receiver. It contains detailed
instructions that go beyond the quick setup card and provides more information about features
than what may be available onscreen.

Positioning the MovieBeam receiver

Important! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the MovieBeam receiver to
moisture.

Connecting the phone cord
Basic Setup 1-6
You need to connect a phone line to the MovieBeam receiver so that it can communicate with
MovieBeam services, about once every two weeks or as needed. For better service, it’s best to
keep the phone line plugged in at all times. If there is no phone jack near your TV set, you can
connect the phone line once every two weeks, or you might consider using a wireless phone jack,
which converts an electrical outlet into a phone jack. We don’t provide you with this device but
you can get it at the same retailers that carry the MovieBeam receiver.
Connect one end of the phone cord to the phone jack on the back of the MovieBeam receiver.
Connect the other end to a phone wall jack. If the wall jack is being used, plug the phone line
splitter into the wall jack, then connect both phone lines into it. The phone line splitter will not
interfere with your phone. Your phone line will not be tied up because movies are not sent via the
phone line.

Connecting to your entertainment system
Connect the MovieBeam receiver directly to your television. Check the back of the television to
determine the types of connectors (inputs) available.
The pages which follow show various ways to connect the MovieBeam receiver to your television,
depending on the type of connectors on your television and other devices which may be attached.
Simple Systems
1. Television with one input; input is used.
2. Television with several inputs; an input is available.
Advanced Systems
3. Television with several inputs; all inputs are used.
4. Television with no A/V input. RF modulator needed.
5. Television with several inputs; input is available; the MovieBeam receiver and other
device send audio through surround sound.
6. Television with several inputs; all inputs are used. Other device passed
through the MovieBeam receiver to surround sound.
Basic Setup 1-7
7. Television with several inputs; input is available. Digital audio (S/PDIF)
used.
8. Home theater/AV controller with multiple inputs; input is available.
For some of the advanced systems, you may need to purchase one or more of the following types
of cables: digital audio cable (S/PDIF), extra AV composite cable, extra S-video cable. Although
these are not included with the MovieBeam receiver , they are available at most electronics
retailers.
Setup 1-7
Using the S-video cable
When your entertainment system has an S-Video input, you can substitute the S-video cable for
the yellow connector of the A/V cable to achieve better quality images. However, you still need to
connect the Audio Left and Audio Right connectors of the A/V cable in order to transmit sound.
On the pages which follow, only the A/V video cable is shown.
