Overview

The STB-2105 is a set-top box that connects your television to the
Internet. Use the STB-2105 to watch Internet television (IPTV) or Video
on Demand (VOD) on your regular TV.

How It Works

Your STB-2105 IP Set-Top Box (A) connects to your Internet
access device (B); this can be a broadband router, a cable modem,
and so on, as long as it provides connectivity to the Internet. Your
television set (C) is also connected to the STB-2105, and programs
are selected with the remote control (D).

Turn On the STB-2105

Once you have made the hardware connections, t ake the following step s
to start up the STB-2105:

1. Turn your television on. Change it to the channel or setting you
normally use to watch videos or DVDs. For example, select the
“VIDEO” input option, or press the “AV” button (look at the
documentation that came with your TV if you are not sure what to do).

2. Press the ON-OFF button on the STB-2105.
The Power LED on the front of the STB-2105 light s up. It blinks while

the STB-2105 is starting up, then shines steadily green once the
STB-2105 is ready (this may take a little while).

 If the Power LED does not behave as expected, first check

the STB-2105’s conne ctions. Make sure that th e power is on
and the Internet access device is working. If this does not
help, restart the STB-2105 (switch it off, then on using the
ON-OFF). If the problem persists, contact your vendor.

If the Remote LED blinks, that means the STB-2105 is receiving a
signal from the remote control.

When recording a program, the PVR LED shines a steady red.
The HDD LED flashes green when the built-in hard disk drive is

reading or writing data, such as when recording a show, receiving
information from your IPTV service provider, or loading graphics and
information into your IPTV portal page.
