[. . . ] The `i' button on the Hauppauge remote is the key to searching and sorting media. 6 Step 1: Connect MediaMVP-HD to your TV set Connecting to a TV set: There are four types of video connections you can make from the MediaMVPHD to your TV set: - HDMI - Component video - S-Video - Composite video An HDMI cable is provided with the MediaMVP-HD, since this is the most common high definition connection on plasma and LCD HD TVs. HDMI cables provide both audio and video to TV set, but you can also use the stereo and digital audio outputs of the MediaMVP-HD to connect to a home stereo system. If your HD TV uses component video, SVideo or composite, use the appropriate cables (not included with the MediaMVP-HD package) and connections from the back of MediaMVP-HD. Step 2: Turn on your TV set and the MediaMVP-HD Turn on the MediaMVP-HD Once you have made a connection to the HD TV set, plug in the power to the MediaMVP-HD and push the power button on the front of the MediaMVP-HD. You should see a green light on the front of MediaMVP-HD, indicating that it is operating. Switch to the correct source on your HD TV: You need to select the correct 7 Video Input on your HD TV set. Each TV set does this differently, but many TV sets have a button marked "Video source" on the remote control. You will need to find the correct source which corresponds to the connection you made from the MediaMVP-HD. Once you select the correct source, you should see the MediaMVP-HD main screen. If you do not see the main screen and you are using HDMI, you might need to change the video format setting on your HD TV set or the MediaMVP-HD. Please see Step 3: Configure the HDMI video format of MediaMVP-HD to match your HD TV set (if necessary) for tips on matching your HD TV video format to the MediaMVP-HD. Step 3: Configure the HDMI video format of MediaMVP-HD to match your HD TV set (if necessary) If you are using HDMI to connect to your HD TV, MediaMVP-HD typically adjusts the HDMI setting automatically. There are a few things you can do in this case: - you can use the MediaMVP-HD Setup menu to manually set MediaMVP-HD to HDMI video settings. To do this, we suggest you connect both the Composite video and HDMI video to your HD TV at the same time. If you do this, you can see the MediaMVP-HD screen using composite video. You can then quickly switch back and forth between Composite and HDMI to see if you have chosen the correct settings. - you can use the Component video connections, which are also high definition but do not attempt to use automatic settings and therefore will connect more easily Use the MediaMVP-HD Setup menu to manually set MediaMVP-HD to HDMI video settings Start by using Composite video. Then use your Hauppauge remote control and go to Setup/VideoOutput and choose NTSC HDMI. N ote: Click the OK button on the remote control to enter each menu. You will see a list of HDMI video formats, from 480i to 1080p (the highest video format). Now switch your HD TV set to the HDMI input which is connected to MediaMVP-HD. If you see video (the MediaMVP-HD HDMI Setup menu), you know that this format is supported by your TV set. Do this until you cannot 8 see a picture on your TV set using HDMI. Once the video fails to display, you have gone beyond the video format capacity of your HD TV and the MediaMVP-HD. Once you have found the best HDMI format, click the Back/Exit button on the Hauppauge remote to return to the Main menu. T ip: if switch your HD TV between sources (for example the MediaMVP-Hd and a cable TV box) and you cannot see your MediaMVP-HD video, click the green Power button on the MediaMVP-HD remote twice. This resets the HDMI video out. Built-in HDMI video test MediaMVP-HD also has a built-in function to test all of the HDMI formats, which range from 480i to 1080p. To try this built-in test function, switch your HD TV set to the HDMI input which is connected to MediaMVP-HD, and then click the blue button on your remote control four times. [. . . ] When you are finished, click the Back/Exit button to return the MediaMVP-HD menu. You can adjust these settings from any menu or while you are playing a video. 19 Contacting Technical Support e-mail: techsupport@hauppauge. com telephone: 631-434-3197 FCC Statement Radio Interference Statement: ID: H9OMEDIAMVP User Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hauppauge Computer Works could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
