For this connection, the following equipments are required; z

A router with a built-in network switch. z

An Ethernet cable. z

A PC with Windows XP operating system.

As shown in the picture, you have to connect the DP-S1 to the router with an Ethernet cable included in the box. If you purchase a router with a DP-S1 and have no experience of connecting a router with a PC, please refer to user’s manual of the router and connect the DP-S1 to the router as an additional PC. If the router has the DHCP (Dynamic

Host Configuration Protocol) server feature and it is enabled, all the configurations for networking will be set automatically and the DP-S1 is ready to use. For more information of configuring LAN, please refer to

Chapter 4. Quick Setup, which illustrates how to configure the LAN port.

NOTE

z

The component video output supports SD (576i for PAL and 480i for

NTSC), 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080i. z

If you set the video output resolution as HD (more than 576p), the composite and S-Video outputs will be disabled automatically. z

18

Quick Setup

2) Audio Outputs

The DP-S1 supports 5.1ch audio in an analog format with the Dolby

Digital and DTS decoders. It also supports digital outputs with optical and coaxial ports. z

Audio Format: If you only have a stereo speaker system, you have to set the audio format as 2ch. If you connect a 5.1ch speaker system to the DP-S1, choose 5.1ch for the best performance. In order to decode an audio source with an external audio decoder system, set the audio format as pass-through. In this setting, the analog audio output will automatically be disabled. z

S/PDIF Output: Enables the digital audio output through the coaxial and optical ports.

NOTE

z

If you set the audio format as 2ch, the DP-S1 mixes down 5.1ch audio source to 2ch audio. z

If the content of a channel broadcasted has 2ch audio source, the DP-

S1 can not expand the 2ch audio source to 5.1ch audio format.

Therefore, you can only hear sound from the front speakers even though you have connected a 5.1ch speaker system and set the DP-

S1 as 5.1ch audio. z

Unless you set the audio format as 2ch when you connect stereo speakers to DP-S1, you can not hear sound of 5.1ch source properly.

19

Quick Setup

2-3. Service Scan

Before watching a broadcasted program, you need to scan all the services first. The scanned services will be stored in the non-volatilizing memory. Therefore you don’t have to scan the service again unless you delete all the information of the service stored in the memory. If there are no services scanned previously, the service scan page will be presented automatically.

You can select the options for each item with a pop-up menu. Please press the OK button to get a pop-up menu. z

Antenna DC (+5V) Power: You can supply DC (+5V, max. 100mA) power to the indoor antenna through the antenna cable. Please make sure that your external antenna is an active type, which means that the antenna requires external DC power to enhance the sensitivity, before you supply DC power to the antenna. z

Scanning Range: You can scan over all channels (VHF and UHF) by selecting the “FULL” option. If you want to scan over specific channel(s), please select the “PARTIAL” option. In this case, you have to set the start and end channels manually. z

Start Channel: This menu will be enabled when you choose the

“PARTIAL” option. Please press the OK button to select the start channel. z

End Channel: This menu will also be enabled when you choose the

“PARTIAL” option. The end channel must be greater than the start channel.

Quick Setup

3. Network

The DP-S1 supports two networking interfaces: Ethernet and wireless

LAN. You can use one of these interfaces at a time. To use the wireless

LAN interface, you have to prepare a wireless router. This section will guide you how to configure the network interfaces.

3-1. Setting

The first step is to select an interface and configure it. You can select this in the Network Device menu. You will get a pop-up menu by pressing the OK button. If you want to use the Ethernet interface, please select the “LAN” option. You can set the wireless LAN interface by setting the “Network Device” menu as “W-LAN”.

NOTE

z

The wireless LAN interface requires more hardware resources such as processing power and memory capacity. Therefore, some features will be limited if you use a wireless LAN interface. z

The wireless LAN interface of the DP-S1 is compatible with IEEE

802.11g. Therefore it is strongly recommended to connect the DP-S1 with a wireless router compatible with IEEE 802.11g protocol for maximum performance. z

The wireless LAN interface requires additional configuration to set a secure channel of communication. When using a wireless LAN interface you at risk from unauthorized users getting into your network or devices. This is at customers own risk.

NOTE

z

If you select “Disable” option, all network devices will be disabled even though you configure them properly.

22

Quick Setup

1) LAN Setting

If you select the “LAN” option on the “Network Device” menu, all the items to be configured for the Ethernet interface will be displayed. z

DHCP: If you want to get the all the configuration from the router and set automatically, please select the “Enable” option. In this case, the rest of the items are disabled to select because you don’t have to configure them manually. You can apply the change by pressing the

RED button. A pop-up window displays the effective configuration of the Ethernet interface when you press the RED button.

You can also get the pop-up window and check the current effective configuration of the Ethernet interface with the GREEN button.

23

Quick Setup

z

IP Address: If you select the “Disable” option in the “DHCP”, you have to input the IP address manually. You can input the address with the

NUMERIC buttons and the LEFT/RIGHT buttons. You can move to the next item of Subnet Mask with the DOWN button. You can configure the following items in the same way; Subnet Mask, Gateway,

Primary DNS Server IP and Secondary DNS Server IP. z

MAC Address: This will display the MAC address of the Ethernet interface but you can not change it.

NOTE

z

You have to press the RED button to make your changes and configurations for the network interface to take effect. z

If you set the DHCP function to enable, the rest of the settings can not be changed. However they still have the previous configuration to help you set these easily set the DHCP function is enabled next time. z

The effective configuration of the Ethernet is always displayed as a pop-up window by pressing the GREEN button. z

To use the DHCP function for the DP-S1, your router should support the DHCP function. Please check the manual and the configuration of your router.

You can apply the changes by pressing the RED button. A pop-up window displays the effective configuration of the Ethernet interface when you press the RED button.

24

Quick Setup

2) W-LAN Setting

The other interface available for networking is the wireless LAN. You can set and use this interface by setting the “Network Device” menu as “W-

LAN”.

Because the wireless LAN communicates through a radio channel, you have to configure additional feature. The followings will explain these features briefly. Please remember that the following features should be the same as your router. z

Network Name (SSID): you have to specify which router or device should be connected to your DP-S1. You can input the SSID of your wireless router with the screen-keyboard. z

Network Type: you have to specify the type of the device which the

DP-S1 communicates with. If you connect your DP-S1 with a router, please set the “Network Type” as “Infrastructure”. If you connect your

DP-S1 with a PC, please set the “Network Type” as “Ad-hoc”. z

Authentication Type: This is a more secure and safer connection between the DP-S1 and the router as they authenticate each other before communicating. Make sure it’s set the same as the authentication type of the router. z

Encryption Type: If this option is set, the DP-S1 will communicate with your router by encrypting the data. So, you can get a secure communication channel. Please set this the same as the encryption type of your router. z

Key: Some authentication and encryption types require a key. Please set the key same as your router.

The DP-S1 supports all security features which are most commonly supported in wireless routers to ensure the compatibility with wireless routers. You can set this configuration on the setup menu. Before you set this, be sure that you configure your wireless router.

The user also set the IP information for the wireless LAN interface. As can Ethernet device, you can select how you configure the IP information: automatic configuration from DHCP server or manual configuration. Please refer to the previous part of setting LAN interface.
