To control connected devices using the remote

This player is equipped with a built‑in IR Blaster that accepts remote commands and sends them to various connected devices to control them with your remote. This function works when the player is turned on.

When you set the player close to a connected device (as illustrated on the right), you can control the device using the remote, including operations such as adjusting the volume of the TV or an AV Receiver.

*

However, if you place the player in a location where IR signals cannot reach, you cannot control connected devices with the built‑in IR Blaster. In this case, connect the supplied IR Blaster as follows:

 Connect the IR Blaster cable to the player.

 Place the IR Blaster so that the infrared transmitter points to the IR receiver

(sensor) on the device you want to control, as illustrated on the right.

* Location of the IR receiver may vary depending on the product you are using.

Troubleshooting

There is no picture (screen is dark).

– Make sure that the AC power cord is securely connected.

– Make sure that all the connecting cables are securely connected. (Especially, make sure

HDMI IN and OUT are correctly connected.)

– Change the input of the TV to display the signal from this player.

– Make sure that the power indicator is lit up white as illustrated below.

The picture from the Set Top Box is not output correctly (via an AV 

Receiver).

– Make sure that HDMI cables are connected securely to the Set Top Box and to the player.

– Turn the Set Top Box off, then turn it on again.

– If the picture is still not output correctly, reconnect the TV directly to the player, and connect

AV Receiver and the player with an optical digital cable as illustrated below.

Network Media Player

Power indicator

– Try the following:

– Turn the player off and on again.

– Turn the connected device off and on again.

– Disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable.

– Disconnect the AC power cord from the player and reconnect it after about two minutes.

– The HDMI OUT jack is connected to a DVI device that does not support copyright protection technology.

The player cannot connect to the Internet.

– Make sure that the LAN router or Wireless LAN router is on.

– Make sure that the LAN cable is connected correctly when using a wired network connection.

– Check the settings of the LAN router or Wireless LAN router. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the LAN router or Wireless LAN router.

– Move the player and the Wireless LAN router closer to each other. The Wireless LAN connection is affected by the surrounding environment (the wall material, radio wave receiving condition, obstacles between the player and the Wireless LAN router, etc.).

– Move the player away from devices that use a 2.4 GHz frequency band (microwaves,

Bluetooth devices, cordless digital devices, etc.), or turn off such devices. These devices may interrupt the communication between the player and the Wireless LAN router.

– If you cannot get Wi‑Fi over the Internet, please make sure you do not have a LAN cable connected. The player places priority on a LAN connection over a Wi‑Fi connection.

 Follow the instructions on the screen.

Use a thin, sharp object such as the point of a pen to press the CONNECT button.
