Start Up – Connecting your player

To use your player, you need to connect it to your TV, your network, and a power source.

Plug the power adaptor to power up your player.

Connect your player to your TV by using HDMI or composite cable depending on your TV.

For standard stereo sound (2-channels, left/right), use the red and white connectors on the
composite cable. For surround sound (5.1 audio), use either an HDMI or optical audio cable,
if available.

NOTE:    If you use an HDMI cable, you don’t need separate audio and video cables.
Even if you use a high-resolution setup, audio/video quality may be compromised based on
the speed of your broadband Internet connection.

Connect  your  player  to  a  broadband  network  with  sufficient  bandwidth  to  receive  live
streams  (2.0  Mbps  or  greater).  See  “Connecting  your  player  to  your  home  network”  for
details.

To view videos through your player, you must connect  your player  to your home network
using  either  a  wireless  or  wired  connection.  Your  home  network  must  have  broadband
Internet access, so that your player can access the Internet when it is connected to your
home  network.  A  minimum  connection  speed  of  1.5Mbps  is  required.  However,  we
recommend using a connection that is 2.0Mbps or faster. If you’re using a wired connection,
follow these steps to connect your player to your network.

Connect one end of a CAT5 ethernet cable to the ethernet jack on your player. Connect the
other end of the ethernet cable to your Internet router.

NOTE: If you’re using a wireless connection, you don’t need to connect an ethernet cable

Setting up your player

After you connect your player, as described in the previous chapter, you’re ready to access
your player and complete Guided Setup to set up your wireless network connection (if

applicable). After you plug your player into a power outlet, it is on all the time. There is no
power button to turn on and off. You simply access your player through your TV.

Turn on your TV, and if necessary, select the input on your TV that displays the player. When
the player is properly connected, you see the 8M logo followed by the Welcome screen.

Understanding player performance

The quality of the video and audio of your player is dependent on a combination of several
factors:

Your audio/video connections - The type of audio and video connections you use to connect
your player and your TV may impact sound and picture quality. In general, HDMI and optical
audio  are  superior  to  stereo  audio.  Similarly,  HDMI  and  component  video  are  superior  to
S-Video.  Additionally,  HDMI,  component  video,  and  S-Video  are  all  better  than  composite
video. Use your best available option when connecting the audio and video cables to your
player.

Your  broadband  speed  -  Your  Internet  Service  Provider  (ISP)  determines  your  broadband
speed. We recommend a

minimum connection speed of 1.5 Mbps

. For the best quality

picture, a connection speed of 2.0 Mbps is required. Sometimes your broadband speed varies
based on your ISP’s network conditions. Contact your ISP if you have problems maintaining a
fast connection that is reliable, or if you want to increase your connection speed. Many ISPs
offer a variety of broadband speed options.

Your home network - In many homes, the Internet connection is shared with other devices
such  as  computers,  gaming  consoles,  network  hard  drives,  and  so  on.  If  any  of  these
network devices are transferring large amounts of data across your network (such as a file
transfer,  online  gaming,  or  other  instances  of  streaming  video),  your  sound  and  picture
quality may be compromised.
