What types of picture files can I show with the Adapter?
The Adapter supports picture files with the following file extensions: BMP,
GIF, JPG, and TIF. All of these file types are converted to JPG format when
they appear on your TV, so some data loss may occur. This may affect image
quality, so the image quality you see on your TV might not be as good as the
image quality you see on your PC.
What types of music files can I play with the Adapter?
The Adapter supports MP3 and WMA files.
What types of playlist files can I use with the Adapter?
The Adapter supports ASX and M3U files. You can create a playlist with one
of these extensions using software such as Music Match, Winamp, or Windows
Media Player. For more information, see “Appendix B:Creating a Playlist.”
I have multiple user accounts on my host computer. Can files from each user
appear on the TV when I use the Adapter?
Frequently Asked Questions
Appendix A: Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that may occur during the installa-
tion and operation of the Wireless-BMedia Adapter. Read the descriptions
below to solve your problems. If you can’t find an answer here, check the

1.I have the Adapter connected to my TV,but nothing appears on my TV.
Go through this checklist:
• Check that the power cable is securely connected to both the electrical outlet
and the Adapter.
• Press the Adapter’s Power button to turn it off and on.
• Make sure the video or S-video cable is securely connected to the TV and the
Adapter.
• Make sure that the TV channel matches the video input you selected for the
connection to the Adapter.
2.I see a start-up message on the TV, but the main menu of the Media Navigator
does not appear.
Go through this checklist:
• Reboot your PC.
• Power off the Adapter. Wait a few seconds, and then power on the Adapter.
• Make sure your network is working properly.
• If you are using a wireless connection, make sure the Adapter is within range
of the wireless network. Check the Signal Strength percentage shown at the
bottom of the TV. It should say 40% or higher to ensure successful commu-
nication. If the number is too low, consider moving your wireless access
point or router closer to the Adapter.
• If you still encounter problems, check the Adapter’s network settings and
compare them to the settings on your wireless access point or router.

On your host computer, go to the shared folders that you had selected using
the Utility Wizard. Make sure they contain compatible music files (MP3 or
WMA) and/or image files (JPG, BMP, GIF, or TIF).
