Installing a Hard Disk Drive:
Installing a HDD into the Cyclone MKV 2 enclosure can be done without the
need of any tools.
Important Notice: It is advised to wear an antistatic wristband to prevent
electrostatic discharge from damaging any electrical
devices.
Before installing the HDD into the enclosure, please ensure that the Cyclone
MKV 2 has been disconnected from its power source.
When the Cyclone MKV 2 is free of all cables, open the HDD compartment
door. This is located on the right hand side of the enclosure.
Gently but firmly insert the HDD into the compartment until the locking
mechanism clicks.
Once the HDD is locked in place, close the compartment door.
After installing the HDD, format it using the built-in format utility. The format
utility can be accessed from the setup menu. Select the System tab and
scroll down to HDD Format. For more information please refer to this
manual’s formatting section.
Important Notice: It is advised not to install a HDD that already contains
data on it, as the formatting process will erase all data
currently on the HDD.
Important Notice: If you wish to use the optional BitTorrent and Samba
functions, it is advised to install the required files at this
point. The initial installation of these functions requires a
HDD format. All subsequent installations do not require a
HDD format. For more information please refer to this
manual’s BitTorrent/Samba section.
To remove the HDD from the enclosure please ensure that the Cyclone MKV
2 has been disconnected from its power source.
Open the compartment door located right of the enclosure.
Once opened located the latch on the left side of the compartment. Firmly
press to the Latch to release the HDD.
Remove the HDD and close the compartment door.
Tip: Press the HDD into the enclosure whilst pressing the release latch.
This will make it easier to release the HDD.

Version 1.2
Basic Setup:
Important Notice: If you wish to use the optional BitTorrent and Samba
features, it is advised to install the required files first. This
is because the initial installation requires the HDD to be
formatted after completion and may result in data loss.
Please refer to this manual’s BitTorrent and formatting
sections for more information.
To setup up your media enclosure you will need to connect it to your TV set
and supply power to the MKV 2 enclosure. You may also wish to connect the
Cyclone MKV 2 to your surround sound system, wireless or wired network
and attach an external hard drive.
First of all examine the back of your TV set and locate its AV ports. Please
make sure you have the correct cables for your chosen setup.
Connecting Power:
Please ensure the power socket switch is in the off position before plugging in
the power adapter to the wall.
Connect the power adapter (supplied) to the back of your Cyclone MKV 2 and
plug the power into the power socket. You will notice the standby LED is now
lit.
AV Cable:
Connecting the Cyclone MKV 2 to your TV will allow you to view multimedia in
standard definition.
Using the AV lead (supplied), connect the 3.5mm jack into the 3.5mm
composite port on the back of the Cyclone MKV 2. On the other end of the
cable plug the red, yellow and white connectors into the corresponding input
ports of your TV.
Switch on your TV and select AV mode, if required.

Component output connection (YPbPr)
Connecting the Cyclone MKV 2 to your TV via the component ports (YPbPr)
will provide a higher quality visual output than is possible with composite.
To connect the player via component cable*, plug the Red (Pr), Blue (Pb) and
Green (Y) connectors into the associated ports. On the other end of the cable
plug the Red, Blue and Green connectors into the corresponding input ports
of your TV.
It is important to note that the component cable will only carry video signals;
therefore you will need to plug in a separate AV cable for sound signals.
With the supplied AV cable, connect the Red and White connectors into the
Red and White audio output ports of the media player. At the other end of the
cable plug the Red and White connectors into the corresponding audio input
ports of your TV
Switch on your TV and select the appropriate input mode, if required.
It is not required to plug in the Yellow connector since the video signal is
provided by the component cable.
Press the standby button on the remote control to switch on the Cyclone MKV
2.
* Please note component cable is not included with this product.
