3.4 Connection
Warning
As a rule, the connections among the device, the TV and the aerial come before
the connection between the device and the power pack. In fact, with the receiver
below voltage, electrical potential gaps can occur during the connectors input.
These gaps could generate currents dangerous for the devices.
Here, in the picture below, the basic connections to make:
1. (3D-HOME) Connect the terrestrial aerial to the RF-IN connector (9);
(3D-HOME-SAT) Connect the satellite aerial to the LNB-IN connector (9);
2. Connect the TV to the Digital OUT connector (7), supplied with video and audio
support. Connect other possible peripheral devices;
3. Build the possible LAN net connection (4);
4. Connect the USB peripheral storage with audio and video files to the connectors
(3);

5. USER INTERFACE
The user interface consists in a menu hierarchy, organized in logical groups. In each
menu, the different entries may have two functions: they open an under-menu or
start an application.
The different applications are distinguished by the icons on the right side of the
screen.
The menu entries can be swiftly reviewed with the surfing UP and DOWN arrows. In
order to enter the under-menu, surf with the RIGHT arrow (or push the OK button);
in order to reach the upper menu, use the LEFT arrow (or the Exit button).
To start the wished application, use the RIGHT arrow (or the OK button), while to
come out and reach the other menus, use the Exit button. The Text button, or Menu
button, is used for opening the menu.
In any case, to help the user move across the different sections, each screen
provides - in the bottom left - an Help button, marked with a blue dot. It displays a
Guide screen.
Let’s give a glance to the 3DHOME services. The menu hierarchy can be summed
up as the picture below:
With the 3DHOME switch-on, the main menu is displayed on the screen. It introduces
the main 3DHOME functions: live and local contents and Internet services. Here
below, in the picture, the TV entry is highlighted.
