Setting Up the TV for Digital Media

The MediaSmart TV (by pressing the Media button on the remote control) provides you a simple way to connect to your PC or online services to do the following:

View photos

Watch videos

Listen to music

Access online media services for music, video, or photos

When you press the Media button on

the remote control for the first time, a Media wizard opens to guide you through the

setup for the network on the TV and on the PC.

Before you can enjoy digital media, you must complete these actions in the following order:

1Complete initial setup of the TV; see “Using the First-Time Setup Wizard” on page 26.

2Use the remote control to initiate the MediaSmart installation, and select settings for the TV and your network, as described in this section.

3Install the MediaSmart software on your PC, as described in this section.

4Complete the TV setup, as described in this section.

The Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) software uses your home network to stream photos, videos, and music to your TV. You select which media folders on your PC you want to share with your TV. Windows Media Player must be installed, and the TV must be allowed to display the media shared from your PC. These steps occur during the software installation.

You can use any universal plug and play (UPnP)-compliant program to stream media to the TV. HP recommends and supports Windows Media Player 11.

You can install Windows Media Player on multiple PCs to access the media files stored on the PCs. The TV and all PCs must be connected to your LAN and turned on.

Verifying the TV connections

Before starting, check that the TV is connected to the LAN router, and that the TV and network equipment are both turned on. For instructions to connect the TV to a wired network, see “Connecting the TV to your home network (LAN)” on page 21.

Completing the initial TV setup

Before proceeding with the digital media setup, the initial TV setup must be completed on your TV. If you canceled the wizard when you turned on the TV for the first time, start the TV Setup Wizard again by using the Setup menu; see “Starting the Setup Wizard” on page 80.

Setting up the TV home network

Follow the steps for your connection type:

See “Setting up a wired connection” on page 28.
