Unpacking and Inspection
The box containing the unit should include:
The SMD 515 Unit A UL Safety Sheet
This Quick Start Guide An AC Power cord
Component Video Cable Power Supply Module
Composite Video/Stereo Audio Cable IR remote control (optional)
Carefully unpack the unit and the ac power cord and inspect for obvious signs of physical damage
that might have occurred during shipment. Any damage claims must be reported to the carrier
immediately. Be sure to check the package contents carefully for important documents and
materials.
NOTE: Save the original packing materials and shipping containers in case the unit must be
returned for repair. Packing the unit in another container in such a way that the unit is
damaged will void the warranty.

Location and Mounting
The SMD 515 unit is set up for desktop operation. Maintain a clean, dry environment for the unit.
Desktop Installation
To s e t u p t h e SMD 515 unit in a desktop environment, place the unit on a flat surface sturdy enough
to support the unit's weight. Place it where it will not be subject to spills or impacts. Route cables to
the unit so that they will not be hit or pulled, causing damage to the connectors or to the unit itself.
Make sure that there is a sufficient flow of cool air so that the unit's operating ambient temperature
range is not exceeded.
NOTE: If degraded picture quality is observed while viewing copy-protected VOD movies, connect
the set-top box directly to the TV set. Do not connect through a VCR.
Circuit Protection and Grounding
When connecting the SMD 515 unit to the power supply, review the ratings of all equipment in the
circuit to ensure that the branch circuit, as well as the power source, will not be overloaded. Also
make sure that a protected power strip is used to attach the unit to the power supply.
WARNING: FCC-Mandated Suppression of Radio Frequency Emissions
This is a
Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference for which the user may need to take mitigating action. If the Ethernet port
has a cable connected to it, that cable must be properly shielded and grounded to
minimize RF emissions that could interfere with nearby equipment.
