Digital Signage Installation & Setup

Install Your Media Player

Your media player should be installed in an easily accessible location. Install it on the top, bottom, or side of your TV, or at the top of your TV's back side using the included velcro strips. Or simply place it on a table. Position the black side facing the space where you plan to use the remote. 

What You'll Need

• HDTV with an available HDMI input
• Broadband Internet connection
• Wired or wireless network
• Power outlet near your HDTV

Connect to Your TV

Connect an HDMI cable (3ft/1m cable included) between the HDMI port on your media player and an HDMI IN port on your TV. 

Many TVs have multiple HDMI inputs. Make note of the number you use (for example, HDMI 3).

Power On

Insert two AAA batteries (included) into your remote by turning the remote over and sliding the bottom half downward.

Connect the power adapter to your media player and a power outlet. 

Home Screen

Your media player will start up to your Home Screen. Before you can begin playing content, you must connect it to the internet. 

TIP: If your media player begins playing content automatically, you still need to connect it to the internet so it can receive changes and updates. 

Remote Functions

Your media player receives commands from the remote via the USB dongle. 

TIP: Pressing the Home button brings you to the Home Screen anytime. 

Connect to the Internet

To use your media player, it must be connected to the Internet. The player is configured for DHCP by default. 

Connect via WiFi

From the Home screen, use your remote to select Settings, then Network. Select WiFi > WiFi device > WiFi device on. Select your WiFi network. 

Enter your WiFi password using the on-screen keyboard, then press Connect. Once connected, press the Home button. 

Connect via Ethernet

For a wired connection, use an ethernet cable (not included) to connect your media player to your router. In most cases, the media player will connect automatically. 

For static network assignment, from the Home screen, select Settings > Network > Ethernet > Advanced Options > IP Settings > Static.

Enter your IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS 1 and/or DNS 2.

Customize Your Screen
