Tips and Troubleshooting

Pre-Installation

In order to achieve a smooth and trouble free installation, please make sure the following items are investigated and in place before you attempt to install a Vision system:

c There is a working broadband Internet connection. The Internet connection is required for Vision to register the unit for software updates and to retrieve information about each DVD and CD that is imported into the system.

c There is a working gigabit Ethernet switch (not a router) with enough ports for each Vision device being installed.

c For best results, we recommend using a dedicated gigabit Ethernet switch (not a router) for all Vision devices. This will ensure that you are getting the best possible network bandwidth for playing Movies over your network.

c CAT5 or CAT5e cable will work, but Cat 6 is recommended for the best possible performance, especially if you have a multi-room installation.

c Ethernet cabling does not exceed the recommended 100-meter length between devices. If you need to go beyond 100 meters, install an additional router between the runs.

c There is a router configured to assign dynamic IP addresses (DHCP) or obtain the proper static IP address information from the person so setup the network.

c If there is a firewall on the network, make sure the Vision can get out on ports: c 80 (HTTP)

c 443 (HTTPS) c 8080 (CDDB)

c Make sure there is enough ventilation at the location of each Vision device.

c The use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended at the loca- tion of all VS products to prevent possible data loss in the event of an unex- pected power loss.

Region Coding

Most DVDs are set for use in a specific region code for different parts of the world. The Vision can play and import discs from different regions, however you can only change the region setting 5 times. The region is changed auto- matically each time you insert a disc that has a region that is different from the previous disc’s region. The 5th time it changes, it is locked on that region . Playing imported DVDs from Vision servers or hard drives DOES NOT increment the region setting count.

Video Outputs

The following chart describes which video outputs are active for each TV reso- lution setting:

*= all outputs active (HDMI = 480p, Component, S-Video, and Composite = 480i) ** = all outputs active (HDMI = 576p, Component, S-Video, and Composite = 576i) Factory default = all outputs active

The following macro sequences are available by using the Vision remote con- trol to directly reset parameters of the video output system in the event that you can not see the Vision user interface on your TV:

•Macro + Movies + 0 = Set TV Resolution Defaults

•Macro + Movies + 1 = Set Video to NTSC

•Macro + Movies + 2 = Set Video to PAL
