Getting Started

Use the information in this chapter to set up and configure your Vision system.

To get started you need to:

1.Connect audio and video cables to Vision and your widescreen high definition TV or home theater A/V receiver

2.Connect Vision to your Ethernet network

You can connect Vision to a widescreen TV that has:

1.An HDMI port using an HDMI cable for both video and audio

2.Component video (Y, Pb, and Pr) ports using a component video cable with green, blue, and red connectors, and an audio cable

3.A DVI port using an HDMI-to-DVI cable for video and an analog or digital audio cable. (audio is not passed over a DVI connector so you have to connect audio separately)

Note: Vision’s startup screens are displayed on the compo- nent video output only. It may take up to two minutes for the video to be available on the HDMI output.

You can also connect Vision to a home theater A/V receiver.

Important: Read all of the following installation instruc- tions and the safety information in the included carefully before you plug Vision into a power outlet.

To connect a widescreen TV with an HDMI port:

1.Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the back of your TV.

2.Connect the other end to the Vision’s HDMI out port.
