INSTALLATION
Digital Camera, Flash Drive, Hard Disc Drive
The HS 500 is equipped with two independent USB ports for use with USB devices, but not “host” devices, such as your PC. Do not connect your PC to either of the HS 500’s USB ports.
The USB 1 port is located on the right side of the HS 500, near the front panel. See Figure 21.
Figure 21 – USB 1 Port
The USB 2 port is located on the rear panel. See Figure 22.
Figure 22 – USB 2 Port
You may connect any USB device, such as a digital camera, flash drive or hard disc drive to either USB port. The HS 500 will automatically recognize any of the following types of files stored on the device: MP3 or WMA audio; MPEG 2 or uncompressed AVI video; JPEG still image. You may navigate the files using the HS 500’s on-screen menu system, as explained in the Operation section.
NOTES:
•The HS 500 is not compatible with digital cameras that do not produce images in the JPEG file format.
•There is no special procedure for installing or removing USB devices; simply plug in or remove the device at any time.
Step Five – Connect Video Display
Only video connections should be made between the receiver and your video display (TV), unless your TV is the source for your television programming (see above).
Determine what types of video your display is capable of handling. Remember that HDMI is preferred, followed by component video
Select the best type of video your display is capable of handling, and connect only one of the HS 500’s video outputs to your display. See Figure 23.

Step Six – Plug In AC Power
Having made all of your wiring connections, it is now time to power up the HS 500. The HS 500 comes with a detachable power cord, which enables you to
AC Input, and plug the other end of the cord into a working, unswitched AC outlet. See Figure 24. If you are using any external components with the HS 500 system, you may plug those into AC power at this time.

Step Seven – Insert Batteries in Remote
The HS 500 remote control uses three AAA batteries (included).
To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote, firmly press the ridged depression and slide the cover towards the top of the remote.
Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 25, making sure to observe the correct polarity.

Compartment
When using the remote, remember to point the lens toward the front panel of the HS 500. Make sure no objects, such as furniture, are blocking the remote’s path to the receiver. Bright lights, fluorescent lights and plasma video displays may interfere with the remote’s functioning. The remote has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lighting conditions. It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either side of the HS 500.
If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button on the remote does not cause one of the source selectors to light up, then make sure the batteries have been inserted correctly, or replace all three batteries with fresh ones.
Step Eight – Program Sources Into the Remote
The HS 500 remote is capable of controlling not only the HS 500, but it may also be programmed to control many brands and models of VCRs, cable boxes, satellite receivers, cassette decks and TVs.
It may help to think of the remote as a book with pages. Each page represents the button functions for a different device. In order to access the functions for a particular device, you first need to turn to that page. This is done by pressing the Source Selector buttons to access the codes for the devices programmed into the remote. There is no “page” specifically set aside for the HS 500’s system functions. Instead, the volume and audio controls are always active, and the functions for the internal disc player and tuner are active when those sources are selected.
