5 Getting Started

Before beginning the installation, please read through the installation procedure described in this manual.

5.1 Installation Requirements

To begin using the TV Media Player, you will need:

• A television set (TV) with either a HDMI connection or available AV composite cable connections for audio and video.
  • The TV Media Player connected to the TV.
• A USB hard disk or USB flash memory device with a USB 2.0 cable containing media files (video, music and digital photos).

5.2 Installation Procedure

The TV Media Player installation procedure is summarized below:

1. Transfer digital video, digital photo and digital music or audio files to the TV Media Player (MD-272 only).
2. Connect the TV Media Player to a TV.
3. Connect the power to the TV Media Player.
4. Connect the USB hard disk containing stored digital media to the TV Media Player and power on the hard disk.
5. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port (if the device is used on a local network).

5.2.1 Transfer Media files to the TV Media Player (MD-272 only)

Transfer your favourite content, like your music, videos and photos, from your computer to the MD-272 via the USB connector. You can connect the MD-272 like any other USB storage. You don't need to put the files in any order, the Portable TV Media Player will sort them out in the right categories for Music, Videos and Photos.

5.2.2 Connecting the TV Media Player

Below is a summary of the audio and video connection options. The pages that follow have illustrations of the various connection types.

Video Connections

To connect video to your TV, there are several options. If your TV or home entertainment system is equipped with a HDMI port, use a HDMI cable for the video and audio connection. Alternatively, the media player video output can be supplied through the composite video connection (A/V port). The MD-272 also features a component connection for higher image quality on TV's that haven't got a HDMI connection.

- Composite Video

- HDMI Video

Close-up of two black HDMI cables with gold connectors (no text or symbols visible)

Plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI connector on the back panel of the TV Media Player. Plug the opposite end to the matching HDMI connector on your television or audio video system. HDMI provides the best video quality resolution up to 1080p, plus audio support.

- Component Video (MD-272 only)

Close-up of three colored audio/video cables (black, blue, red) with gold connectors, no text or symbols visible.

Plug the component cable into the corresponding ports on the back panel of the TV Media Player. Plug the opposite ends to the corresponding ports on your television or audio video system. Component provides the best video quality resolution up to 1080p, but without audio.

Audio Connections

The TV Media Player supports digital audio over HDMI or S/PDIF. Alternatively a RCA analogue connection for the stereo audio signal can be used.

- Analogue Audio (RCA)

Close-up of two audio/video cables with red and white connectors (no text or symbols visible)

Connect the supplied 12V DC adapter to a free wall socket. Connect the other end to the designated port on the back of the TV Media Player.

A/V HDMI DC IN

5.2.4 Connect USB to the TV Media Player

The TV Media Player automatically searches the disk for supported media content. If there is a large volume of digital media, it might take several minutes to completely scan the disk, however the files that have already been scanned can be played. Some USB hard drives require a separate power source to use it, so make sure the USB disk is powered on and connected. Often USB hard disks have LED indicators that let you know if it is powered on and if it is connected. Check the user guide of the USB hard disk for more information.

5.2.5 Connect Ethernet to the TV Media Player

The TV Media Player includes an Ethernet port to connect the TV Media Player to a local network in order to use digital media stored on servers connected to the network. Connect a Cat5 or higher certified cable to the designated port on the TV Media Player. Connect the other end of the cable to a hub, switch, modem or router.

6 Navigating the menu

Once the TV Media Player is connected and the (USB) hard disk contains digital media files it automatically begins searching for supported media. The TV Media Player can be used while it is still scanning for content. Turn on the TV and direct it to the input used for the TV Media Player to view the main menu interface. If this is the first time accessing the interface or if the TV Media Player has just been powered on, the initial setup will ask you a couple of questions.

UPnP

Once your TV Media Player is connected to your network, and you have made the correct network settings, you can play media files through your network. If you want to share media files on your computer in order to let the media player play these files, you can setup your computer as a UPnP server. We will explain how to setup your computer as a UPnP server in the following steps.

Create a UPnP server

Your computer does not share media by default. You will have to install a UPnP media server on your computer to add this functionality. If you are using Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can use the built-in UPnP media service of Windows Media Player. If you enable this option, your media player can access the music library on your computer. Follow the steps below to enable this option:

1. Click 'Start'.
2. Click 'Programs'.
3. Click 'Windows Media Player'.
4. Click 'Tools', then click 'Options'. The following screen will be displayed:

Options Plugins Privacy Security File Types DVD Network Player Rip Music Devices Burn Performance Library Specify settings for organizing and sharing your digital media collection. Sharing Share my media with other computers and devices on my network. Configure Sharing...

1. Go to the 'Library' tab in the left upper corner of the options window.
2. Now click 'Configure sharing...'
3. Check the "Share my media" checkbox and click OK.

Media Sharing Share music, pictures, and video on your network Learn about sharing Online Sharing settings ✓ Share my media

1. A list with detected devices will appear within a few seconds.
2. Click the name of your TV Media Player.
3. Click 'Allow'.
4. Click 'Ok'.
5. Click 'Ok'.
6. All files in the media library of Windows Media Player will be shared with your media player from now on. The media library will be accessible using the remote control and display of the media player.

Note: Steps above are taken with Windows Media Player 11, available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/.
