If any items are missing from your package, please contact Buffalo Technology's Technical Support or contact the place you purchased your product from.
Preparation:
The LinkTheater connects to a TV or video monitor with composite (RCA), HDMI, D4, or component style video connectors.
Find an appropriate place to install the LinkTheater. It should be:
- within visible site of the primary seating area. This device uses an IR remote control and requires line of sight.
- conveniently located near your TV and Hi-Fi.
- on a flat surface or cabinet. We do NOT recommend placing it on top of a warm-running audio/video component, due to potential overheating concerns.
Connect your cables:
The LinkTheater must be connected to a TV or monitor. Although the LinkTheater plays mp3s and other popular music formats, a TV or monitor is required to navigate and configure options on the LinkTheater.
There are many ways to connect the audio and video output of the LinkTheater to a TV or home theater. The following directions describe connecting your LinkTheater to your TV or monitor with the standard yellow analog composite video connector, which almost any TV will have. This cable is included in your LinkTheater package and will work with most TVs.
Here's a simple way to connect your LinkTheater directly to a TV:
1 - Attach the included analog video cable to your TV or monitor. Most TVs will have the connections color-coded: Yellow for video, red for right-audio, and white for left-audio.
2 - Connect the other end of the analog video cable to the associated ports on the LinkTheater. The ports are also color coded: red for right audio, white for left audio, and yellow for video.
3 - For a wired connection, connect the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the LinkTheater and connect the other end to a router, hub, or switch on your network. The LTH90WN provides added functionality allowing you to connect to your network wirelessly. Please refer to the Wireless Connection section for setup instructions.
4 - Plug the power cable into an AC power outlet. Buffalo recommends connecting the AC adapter to a power-strip with a surge protector to protect it from power surges caused by lightning.
5 - Plug the power connector from the AC adapter into the back of the LinkTheater. The 'Power' and 'Standby' lights on the front of the LinkTheater will blink and then turn on. You do not need to press the power button on the front of the LinkTheater. If the lights don't come on within a few seconds, check that the proper AC adapter is plugged in and seated correctly. Also, check that your power-strip or surge protector is on.
6 - Once the 'Power' and 'Standby' lights on the front of the LinkTheater are on, the device has properly powered up and is ready for use. At this point, please turn on your TV or monitor. Change your TV or monitor's source setting to correspond to the input that you plugged the LinkTheater into. Once the LinkTheater's menu appears, your LinkTheater's video is properly connected.
Note: These instructions are for a simple setup, where the LinkTheater is connected directly to a TV with RCA connections. Many other ways to connect are possible. For instance, if you seek the best overall performance available, you might connect the audio to an AV Receiver with a toslink digital connector and the video to your monitor with a D4-to-component or HDMI cable. If the toslink 5.1 digital audio output is used, you'll need to enable it in Settings before using it. Additional cables (not included with the LinkTheater) will be necessary for any of these alternate configurations.
Wireless Connection
Wireless Settings (LT-H90WN model only)
After bootup, select the language and time zone you wish to use and press enter on "Apply". A screen will display the message "Incomplete connection to the Network". Select the "Reconfigure Network" option by pressing "Enter" or "Right" on your remote.

In the "Modify Profile" screen, select the option you would like to use to connect to your network - Wireless or AOSS.
Wireless Connection
Select Wireless and press "Enter" or "Right" on your remote control.

The Link Theater will now scan for wireless networks and display the results on the screen. Select the network which will be used and press "Enter" or "Right" on your remote control.

Select the authentication method that is used by the network and then type the key into the "Key" field. Once entered, press "Enter", or "Right" on Continue, to proceed.

Press "Enter" or "Right" on the option to "Connect Automatically (DHCP)". This will assign an IP address automatically to the Link Theater.

A Screen will appear saying "Profile Creation Successful". Press "Enter" or "Right" on the "Continue" option.

The IP address and Net Mask information will be displayed at the bottom right of the screen. Press "Enter" or "Right" on the "Continue" option to complete the connection.
AOSS
Please note that your router must support AOSS to use this connection method. Press "Enter" or "Right" on the AOSS option.

When instructed, press the AOSS button on your router.
When the connection is established, press "Enter" on Finish.
The Link Theater will now be connected to your network and the IP Address and Gateway information will be displayed on the bottom right of the screen. Press "Enter" on the "Finish" option to complete the connection.
Remote Control
The LinkTheater's navigation and settings are all done via the included remote control.
To navigate through the menus, use the up, down, left and right arrows. To make a selection, press the 'Enter' key. Also, the left and right arrows can be used to navigate forward and back through the menus.
Info - The info button will bring up information regarding the file that is currently being played back. This includes file name info, format info, and in the case of movies and music, how long the file has been playing.
Setup - The setup button will instantly take you to the System Settings area.
Refresh - The refresh button will automatically refresh what is on the screen. For example, if recent files have been added to a media server, pressing the refresh button may display the new files. Some DLNA servers may need to be refreshed at the server level.
Repeat – The repeat button will simply repeat a video or music file that's being played back.

Video – The video button will cycle through the four supported video modes. CAUTION:
Using this improperly could result in losing video display. In that event, continue to cycle through the video modes by pressing the VIDEO button until the display returns.
Audio - Audio is used to select different sound track options that may be available in video files.
Playback Controls - The playback controls work similarly to that of a VCR or DVD player. > ll begins and pauses playback, ■ stops playback, is fast forward, > goes to the next song, etc.
Video, Music, Photo - The three video, music, and photo buttons can be used while navigating a media source. Pressing one of these buttons will instantly change your viewing to the file types that correspond with the button pushed. For example, if you're browsing video and press the music button, you'll instantly be browsing music instead.
Home - The home button will return you to the main navigation hub.
Up and Down – The up and down buttons work like Page Up and Page Down does on a computer. This is a quick way to browse through folders that have a lot of media.
Volume and Mute – The LinkTheater has its own independent volume control that can be used along with or as an alternative to your TV or sound system's remote control. This allows you to quickly mute or raise/lower the volume without having to necessarily use the TV or sound system's remote control.
Stop – The stop key will temporarily pause a slideshow that's in progress.
Track - The track button will skip forward or back to the next video, music, or picture file.

Network connection - Configure network connection setting.
DHCP may be used to automatically assign an IP address, or you may manually enter an IP address and subnet mask.
Proxy Settings - Enter proxy server's IP address and port.

Display Settings lets you toggle between various video output modes. This is where you adjust the picture to display properly on your 16x9 HD monitor. Press the Enter button on your remote to toggle through the available modes.

Display Settings:
The LinkTheater supports four display modes. Changing the display modes could result in your LinkTheater not operating properly so please make sure you know which modes your TV or monitor supports:
Composite 480i 4x3 – This is the standard mode. It utilized the standard RCA (yellow) video cable or to transmit video data. 480i means the picture is displayed at the resolution 640x480 interlaced.
Component 480p 4x3 – This mode requires a TV or monitor with HDMI, D-Terminal, or component video. It uses 640x480 progressive resolution. This is the same resolution that a progressive scan DVD player would use. If your TV or monitor doesn’t support 480p than this mode will NOT work.
Component 720p 16x9 – This mode is the native format for many common HDTVs. It's broadcast over the HDMI and D4/component video connectors. Most widescreen HDTVs should support this mode. It uses 1280x720 progressive resolution. If your TV or monitor doesn't support 720p then this mode will NOT work.
Component 1080i 16x9 – This is the best, highest resolution mode available from the LinkTheater. If your TV or monitor can display 1080i images, then this is the mode to use. The HD image is transmitted over the D4/component and HDMI video connectors. Use of this mode with 720p monitors is not recommended. Even if they can display it, they’d look better in their native 720p. Only use this mode with HD TVs that natively display 1080i resolution.
Please check with your TV or monitor's documentation and specifications to determine which mode you should use.
Note: The LinkTheater can only transmit D4/component and HDMI video simultaneously. It cannot transmit on D4/component and composite or HDMI and composite simultaneously.

Reset System Settings will return all settings to their factory defaults. Any changes you've made will be lost.

Configuring Windows Media Player:
With Windows Media Player 11, a PC can stream media files to the LinkTheater. If you've already installed the Buffalo Media Server utility, then using Windows Media Player 11 may not be necessary. Windows Media Player 11 replaces the Windows Media Connect 2.0 software that was available within previous versions of Windows XP. If you still have Windows Media Connect 2.0 software on your computer, it will continue to work with your LinkTheater, but upgrading to Windows Media Player 11 or later is recommended.
You can get the latest version of Windows Media Player from Microsoft's Window's Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com).
In Windows Media Player, click Tools and choose Options.


From the Library tab, choose Configure Sharing.
Make sure that you have a check next to "Share my media to:" If your LinkStation is powered on and connected to the network, it will appear in the window as an "Unknown Device" with a yellow triangle and an explanation point.

Highlight the new "Unknown Device" and click Allow.
Note: If more than one device is listed then multiple media players are available on your network; in this case either add all of them or determine which one is your LinkTheater by turning it on and off and seeing how the list is affected.

Click Settings to specify what media files to share with your LinkTheater.

Change settings as desired. Click OK when done.
Transcoder
Transcoder software lets you play even more types of files.
To play files created by older utilities such as Windows Media player 7 or 8, you'll need to use transcoder software to convert the files to playable formats. To do this, click Start - Programs - BUFFALO - MediaServer - Transcoder.

Click Add to add files to the transcode list, and then Start to convert them.
For best results, Windows computers streaming media to your LinkTheater should be running DirectX9.0c. You may install DirectX9.0c from the Buffalo software disk.

An electronic copy of the LinkStation user manual (this guide) is available on the disk.

The electronic copy of the manual is in PDF format. To read it, you will need a PDF reader like Adobe's Acrobat, included on the disk for your convenience.

Optimise the LinkTheater for your home theater. Right out of the box, your LinkTheater's basic configuration works well for many users. However, you have the option to modify many of its settings to give the best match with your other equipment. The Setup button on the remote gives access to different settings depending on where you are in the LinkTheater's menu. To access System menu, press the Setup button from the Home page of the menu.  System menu are divided into four categories.  Select Setup to change various settings of the LinkTheater.  General Settings include such settings as the delay times for the screenshot and slideshow, LED brightness, and whether or not to enable the digital audio output. Select Setup to access General Settings.  Screen Saver Delay - Adjust idle time (from 15 seconds to 10 minutes) before the screen saver comes up. Slideshowhow delay - Adjust duration of time which each picture is on screen. Key click sound - Adjust click sound (loud, medium, quiet, off) of remote control operation. S/PDIF Passthrough - Dolby Digital and/or AC3 files may be transmitted to the S/PDIF outputs without transcoding to PCM.  Network Settings contains settings that affect your LinkTheater's network connection. For LT-H90LAN all settings relate to your wired connection. For LT-H90WN, you also have the option to connect wirelessly or via AOSS.  Current Network Status - Shows current status of the network to which LinkTheater is connected. Network connection - Configure network connection setting. DHCP may be used to automatically assign an IP address, or you may manually enter an IP address and subnet mask. Proxy Settings - Enter proxy server's IP address and port.  Display Settings lets you toggle between various video output modes. This is where you adjust the picture to display properly on your 16x9 HD monitor. Press the Enter button on your remote to toggle through the available modes. Display Settings:
The LinkTheater supports four display modes. Changing the display modes could result in your LinkTheater not operating properly so please make sure you know which modes your TV or monitor supports: Composite 480i 4x3 – This is the standard mode. It utilized the standard RCA (yellow) video cable or to transmit video data. 480i means the picture is displayed at the resolution 640x480 interlaced. Component 480p 4x3 – This mode requires a TV or monitor with HDMI, D-Terminal, or component video. It uses 640x480 progressive resolution. This is the same resolution that a progressive scan DVD player would use. If your TV or monitor doesn’t support 480p than this mode will NOT work. Component 720p 16x9 – This mode is the native format for many common HDTVs. It's broadcast over the HDMI and D4/component video connectors. Most widescreen HDTVs should support this mode. It uses 1280x720 progressive resolution. If your TV or monitor doesn't support 720p then this mode will NOT work. Component 1080i 16x9 – This is the best, highest resolution mode available from the LinkTheater. If your TV or monitor can display 1080i images, then this is the mode to use. The HD image is transmitted over the D4/component and HDMI video connectors. Use of this mode with 720p monitors is not recommended. Even if they can display it, they’d look better in their native 720p. Only use this mode with HD TVs that natively display 1080i resolution. Please check with your TV or monitor's documentation and specifications to determine which mode you should use. Note: The LinkTheater can only transmit D4/component and HDMI video simultaneously. It cannot transmit on D4/component and composite or HDMI and composite simultaneously.  Reset System Settings will return all settings to their factory defaults. Any changes you've made will be lost. Configuring Windows Media Player:
With Windows Media Player 11, a PC can stream media files to the LinkTheater. If you've already installed the Buffalo Media Server utility, then using Windows Media Player 11 may not be necessary. Windows Media Player 11 replaces the Windows Media Connect 2.0 software that was available within previous versions of Windows XP. If you still have Windows Media Connect 2.0 software on your computer, it will continue to work with your LinkTheater, but upgrading to Windows Media Player 11 or later is recommended. You can get the latest version of Windows Media Player from Microsoft's Window's Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com).In Windows Media Player, click Tools and choose Options.
  From the Library tab, choose Configure Sharing. Make sure that you have a check next to "Share my media to:" If your LinkStation is powered on and connected to the network, it will appear in the window as an "Unknown Device" with a yellow triangle and an explanation point.  Highlight the new "Unknown Device" and click Allow. Note: If more than one device is listed then multiple media players are available on your network; in this case either add all of them or determine which one is your LinkTheater by turning it on and off and seeing how the list is affected.  Click Settings to specify what media files to share with your LinkTheater.  Change settings as desired. Click OK when done.Transcoder
Transcoder software lets you play even more types of files. To play files created by older utilities such as Windows Media player 7 or 8, you'll need to use transcoder software to convert the files to playable formats. To do this, click Start - Programs - BUFFALO - MediaServer - Transcoder.  Click Add to add files to the transcode list, and then Start to convert them. For best results, Windows computers streaming media to your LinkTheater should be running DirectX9.0c. You may install DirectX9.0c from the Buffalo software disk.  An electronic copy of the LinkStation user manual (this guide) is available on the disk.  The electronic copy of the manual is in PDF format. To read it, you will need a PDF reader like Adobe's Acrobat, included on the disk for your convenience. Specifications
