Page 7 of 36 MP115 Digital Media Player Configuration Layout Streaming Media Server is a client-server system that comprised of a client and a server device. The MP115 Digital Media Player has no permanent storage thus it is called the “client” because its purpose is to browse and playback content. The PC has permanent storage and thus it is called the “server”. Images, movies, and music files can all be served to the Digital Media Player from the PC.
Page 8 of 36 Setting the MP115 Digital Media Player Before Your Begin • Refer to the manual of your TV, stereo receiver, or other equipment as necessary.

For HDTV interfaces, 0.3V tri-level sync signals are used, while for SDTV interface, a 0.3V bi-level sync signal is present.
Page 11 of 36 Classification OOOO OOO OO OO OO OOO OO Description Video Connection Section YPbPr video provides the best picture quality. Details are on page 16. S-video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 16. RGB Analog video provides good picture quality. Details are on page 17. This is a 21-pin connector supported by many consumer video components in Europe. It allows mono or stereo audio and composite, S-video, or RGB video to be transmitted between equipment.
Page 12 of 36 Connecting Your TV RGB Analog Video with RCA to RCA Jack • If your TV has a RGB video input, you can use the supplied video cable with RCA line input jack ( which has yellow marking). Refer to the connection diagram given below, then connect the video cable to the Digital Media Player’s VIDEO jack. Connect the other end of the video cable to the corresponding VEDIO jack on the TV. Note: On the TV, the VIDEO IN jack is usually yellow and might be labeled VIDEO, CVBS, COMPOSITE, or BASEBAND.
Page 13 of 36 Connecting Your TV Audio/Video with RCA to SCART Jacks • If you have a (SCART to RCA) A/V cable (not included) that one end of the A/V cable with RCA line input jacks which has yellow, white, and red markings), and another end of the A/V cable with SCART line input jack. Refer to the connection diagram given below, then connect the SCART line input jack of the A/V cable to the Digital Media Player’s SCART video jack.

The RF OUT jack may be labeled differently among different brands. Refer to the instructions provided with your RF modulator. Connect the other ends of the same RF coaxial cable to the ANTENNA IN or RF-IN jack on your TV. Note: Your RF modulator should have a Channel 3/4 switch.
Page 15 of 36 Connect the other ends of the audio cable to the AUDIO L/R audio jacks on the TV. Match the cable colors to the jack colors. Connecting TV and Digital Media Player Power • Plug the power cord (female) into the power inlet jack on the Digital Media Player. Plug the other end ( male) of the power cord into an active power outlet. Also plug the power cord of the TV into an active power outlet.
Page 16 of 36 Network Setup Many books have been written about the subject of networking. Therefore, this section is only intended to provide a brief overview of how Digital Media Player works in a home network environment and covers only those issues essential to setting up a proper network for using Digital Media Player. Do You have a Network If you have a single PC and you connect to the Internet with a phone line, chances are you do not have a network.
Page 17 of 36 Router and Internet Connection Sharing A “router” is a network device that forwards or “router” TCP/IP data between your network and the Interne. Routers are typically separate boxes that connect to your network and the Internet. However, Windows 98 S/E (and higher) provides a feature called “Internet Connection Sharing” (“ICS”) which lets a PC connected to the Internet act as a simple router and DHCP server.
Page 18 of 36 all cases, the router works as a DHCP server (i.e., it assigns network address). Set the Digital Media Player network settings to wired using DHCP addressing. From the main home screen: >Press Options >Select Network Setup >Set Connection to Wired (Ethernet) >Select Address >Set Configuration to DHCP >Press left arrow to return to Media Adapter options >Select Apply Changes to apply the network changes Once the Digital Media Player restarts you will be returned to the main home screen.
Page 19 of 36 Choose a static address for your PC and one for your Digital Media Player. Use a netmask of 255.255.255.0 for both. To configure the Digital Media Player for a crossover cable: >Press Options >Select Network Setup >Set Connection to Wired (Ethernet) >Select Address >Set Configuration to Static >Set IP Address to 192.168.0.2 >Set Netmask to 255.255.255.
Page 20 of 36 Wireless Infrastructure Most wireless networks communicate in Infrastructure mode. To configure the Digital Media Player network settings for wireless Infrastructure and DHCP dynamic addressing: >Press Options >Select Network Setup >Set Connection to Wireless (Infrastructure) >The Digital Media Player will scan for wireless local area networks (WLAN). Select WLAN to choose your wireless network if it is not already chosen.

Service Considerations The following sections include some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during disassembly and assembly procedures. Note: As you remove each subassembly from the Digital Media Player, place the subassembly (and all accompanying screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.
Page 26 of 36 • Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors, or test equipment. Grounding Equipment and Methods Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation. • When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear a strap snugly against the skin at all times.

Also known as simply Ethernet. 802.11: Standard specifying the characteristics for wireless local area networks. Access Point: An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wires networks together. Ad Hoc: One of two types of wireless networking, usually used for smaller networks. PCs communicate directly with each other without an access point.
Page 30 of 36 Luma: As mentioned in the definition of chroma, the NTSC and PAL video systems use a signal that has two pieces: the black and white part, and the color part. The black and white part is the luma. It was the luma component that allowed color TV broadcasts to be received by black and white TVs and still remain viewable. Mbps: Abberviation for megabits per second. Modulator: A modulator is basically a circuit that combines two different signals in such a way that they can be pulled apart later.
