4.Plug in the power to start the media center (allow five minutes for system start-up).

5.Plug the TV and receiver (if used) into a power outlet. On some mod- els, a two-prong outlet is available on the rear of the media center.

Do not connect the media center to a switched power source. Doing so increases the chance that the media center is turned off and is not able to record programs as scheduled.

Media Center User Guide

Connecting to the home network

To enable PC Link, the media center needs a full-time connection to your home network. The connection can be wired (see below) or wire- less (see Wireless data connection on page 67), although a wired con- nection is preferred.

Wired data connection

Connect a CAT-5 network cable with RJ-45 plugs between the Ether- net port on the rear of the media center and your home network. An Internet connection is not required for PC Link.
