Network setting:
(Note: A USB keyboard and mouse are mandatory)
MediaV gets its network address via DHCP by default. You can configure it with a static IP address.
When MediaV has started you will see following screen:
Move to the programs menu and select Launcher. The Network Settings screen appears. Select the
network that you have installed (wired, wireless) and configure the IP parameters.
If you configure a static IP you must be sure that IP is in the router’s range. An example of this
configuration it would be:
Static IP: 192.168.1.50
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1 (Usually your router will automatically assign DNS)

access the configuration settings.
You can also access the latest films you have added, your most used software and other options if you

How to add sources
One of the first operations you should do when you first connect your Visonos is to add the
sources from which you will access your files (photographs, music, films or TV series). You
need to understand how the system works to correctly configure it. This is possibly, the most
difficult part for beginners.
Visonos can share and access files on your home network (IP). Our player MusicV or MediaV can
access and playback any file that is stored and shared in any device that is connected to your network.
You can listen to music that is stored in any desktop or laptop connected to the network, you can also
access media that is on the internet (YouTube, Spotify...) Visonos also offers network storage devices
that allow you to copy and store your CD, DVD and Blu-ray collection very easily – insert the disc in the
device and the Visonos ripper, MusicVr or MediaVr, will create a copy – which will let you enjoy the
content using tablet.
In Visonos each device which stores multimedia is called a source. A source can be a folder in your
laptop or the music and video folders in your storage devices MusicVr or MediaVr.
To add these sources to your device you must select the option Files in the music or video menus. To
add music sources you have to select the “Add Source” option, to add videos you have to select the
“Add videos” option. (Fig.2)
Fig. 2
A window will open where you will be able to browse through your network to find the sources (Fig.3).
You can write the route directly if you know where the files are stored in the text box.

If you do not know the route you can select the browse button to find your sources. When you select
browse a list of options will be shown. Visonos lets you search in different ways and using different
network protocols. You will usually be able to find your sources if you select Windows network (SMB).
Your Windows Workgroup will show, usually called WORKGROUP, unless it has been modified by the
network administrator. If you select the workgroup, the list of shared devices will appear. Select the
device that has the content you want to access. Select OK to continue. To select OK you must press
the left arrow button. (Fig.4)
