Getting Started Before connecting your ScreenPlay DX HD Media Player, decide how you want to get your content. ScreenPlay DX enables you to play media files from your home network, from a connected USB device, or from the ScreenPlay DX hard disk. • If you plan to get content from your home network or a connected USB device, proceed to the instructions on connecting and setting up the ScreenPlay DX. • If you plan to load a lot of content to the ScreenPlay DX's hard disk, it will be fastest to connect first to your computer to transfer files and organize your multimedia library. See the user's manual for detailed instructions. Connecting and Setting Up ScreenPlay DX It will be easiest to set up your ScreenPlay DX if it's connected to both your TV and your network before you power it up the first time. It doesn't matter if you connect to your network first or your TV first. Connecting the ScreenPlay DX to Your TV • For best HD performance, use an HDMI cable to connect to an HDTV. • You can also connect the ScreenPlay DX using the composite AV cable (yellow, red, and white connectors) to connect video and audio by matching the jack colors on the TV. • See the user's manual for other connection options (component video or optical audio). Connecting the ScreenPlay DX to Your Network • Wired Network Connection: Use a standard ethernet cable to connect the ScreenPlay DX to a network router, hub, or switch. (Ethernet cable not included.) • Wireless Network: Connect the included Iomega 802.11n WiFi adapter to the host USB port on the back of the ScreenPlay DX. NOTE: The ScreenPlay DX cannot be connected to Ethernet and WiFi at the same time. An Ethernet connection will provide the best results when playing videos from your network. First Time Startup 1.
