Connecting Streamium MC-i250

For wireless operation (Wi-Fi, 802.11b):

INTERNET

DSL or cable modem

Data port

Power outlet

wireless access point router

PC with wireless network adaptor

1 If there is no networking cable plugged into the set at the first setup, you will be asked whether you want to use wired (Ethernet) or wireless (WiFi) operation. Choose Wireless. For any further connection, the set will start up in the operation mode last used. This setting can be changed at any later point in time in the SET OPTIONS menu under SELECT NETWORK.

2 You will be asked to choose between Infrastructure or Ad-hoc operation mode. If you want to use a wireless access point (Infrastructure mode - recommended), select accordingly. If you select NO, MC-i250 will try to establish a direct connection to a wireless network adapter (Ad-hoc mode).

3 You will be asked to enter the network name (ESSID). Enter this case-sensitive name, using the remote control.

4 You will be asked to select the network channel number. If you use an access point (infrastructure mode), choose the used channel or type in 0 for automatic detection. This process will take a short while. If you do not use a wireless access point (Ad-hoc mode), use the soft keys to select the used channel.

5 You can choose to use WEP encryption. If you choose YES, you will be asked to enter up to four encryption keys. The first key will be used as the outgoing key. The outgoing key can be defined at any later point in time in the SET OPTIONS menu under ENCRYPT CONFIG.

Notes: You can use ASCII or HEX encryption keys, but all have to be

the same length. When the wireless connection is established, you still might

have to configure the network settings (please see network settings of wired operation).

For wired operation (Ethernet):

INTERNET

DSL or cable modem

gateway router

Data port

Power outlet

from RJ45

After the Internet connection of a PC in the home network has proven to be working, connect the MC-i250 to the gateway router with the supplied cable. Press INTERNET.

The Streamium MC-i250s network settings are by default set to DHCP (dynamic IP addressing) and NO PROXY. When your router is configured as a DHCP server and your ISP does not use a proxy, the set should automatically establish a connection to the Internet.

As soon as you are asked to enter your email address on the screen, your set has successfully established a connection to the Internet. To activate the online features of MC-i250, you still have to complete the registration (see first page).

For Static IP addressing, enter the following information:

IP address _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _ default gateway _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _ subnet mask _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _ DNS 1 _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _ DNS 2 _ _ _._ _ _._ _ _._ _ _

Example: to enter the IP address 164.23.5.114, use the remote control to key in :

164.023.005.114

If your ISP uses a proxy server, you will have to enter the proxy name and proxy port.

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Copyright in the U.K. Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performers Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

General Information

This product complies with the radio interference requirements of the European Community.

Environmental information All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialised company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Supplied accessories

2 speaker boxes Remote control Batteries (two AA size) for remote control AM loop antenna FM wire antenna AC power cord Category 5 Ethernet cable

Safety information

Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer.

Place the system on a flat, hard and stable surface.

Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player will not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

When the system is switched to Standby mode, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown.

Notes: To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to the PC monitor/TV. For optimal sound performance, use the supplied speakers. Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals. Do not connect speakers with impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

Optional connections The optional equipment and connecting cords are not supplied. Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment for details.

Analogue audio connections

AUX/CDR IN (R/L) Use a cinch cable to connect these terminals to the analogue audio out terminals of an external equipment (TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or CD Recorder).

LINE OUT (R/L) Use a cinch cable to connect these terminals to the analogue audio inputs of any analog audio equipment (amplifier/receiver or tape recorder, for example).

Notes: Do not connect equipment to both the LINE OUT and AUX/CDR IN terminals at the same time. Otherwise, noise will be generated and malfunction might occur. If you are connecting equipment with a monaural output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a single to double cinch cable (the output sound will still remain mono).

Subwoofer out connection

Connect the subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal. The subwoofer reproduces just the low bass sound effects (explosions or the rumble of spaceships, for example).

Inserting batteries into the remote control Insert two batteries (type R06 or AA) into the remote control with the correct polarity as indicated by the + and - symbols inside the battery compartment.

CAUTION! Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will not be used for a long time. Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination. Batteries contain chemical substances, so dispose of them properly.

The Streamium MC-i250s network settings are by default set to DHCP (dynamic IP addressing) and NO PROXY. When your router is configured as a DHCP server and your ISP does not use a proxy, the set should automatically establish a connection to the Internet.

If your home network uses static IP addressing, you will have to set a static IP address, network mask, default gateway and two DNS servers. This information can be obtained from your ISP. Also, if your ISP uses a proxy server, you will have to enter the proxy name and proxy port.

Information you might need for setup (can be requested from your ISP):

Does the network use static or dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing? In DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned to the set. In static IP mode, the information mentioned above has to be entered using the remote control.

Does the ISP use a proxy? If yes, what is the proxy name and proxy port?

Does the ISP only allow registered devices to use DHCP? If yes, you might have to tell the ISP the sets MAC address (can be found in SET OPTIONS under NETWORK INFO).

As soon as you are asked to enter your email address on the screen, your set has successfully established a connection to the Internet. To activate the online features of MC-i250, you still have to complete the registration.
