Chapter 2 - Setting Up Your System Hardware

Connecting the Monitor

You must connect a television monitor to the V500 system. This may be an NTSC or PAL monitor, depending on your system.

To connect a monitor to the system:

1.Connect the monitor to the S-video or composite video outputs on the back of the V500 system.

You must use the same type of connector on the monitor as on the system. For example, if you use the S-video connector on the monitor, use the S-video connector on the system.

S-video output (preferred)

DC IN 12V

LAN

Composite video output

S-video provides superior video quality, and is recommended.

2.Connect the system’s audio outputs to the monitor’s audio inputs using the red and white connectors on the monitor cable.

After you have finished setting up the system, you will need to configure the monitor’s behavior. Refer to Configuring the TV Monitor on page 4-7.

Connecting the System to the LAN

The steps you need to take to connect to the LAN depend on your network environment. For example, you may have a small office with multiple PCs, a broadband modem, and a router; you may have a broadband modem and one PC in your home; or, you may have another type of network environment altogether.

In all cases, you must first connect the LAN to the system with the LAN cable. If you have a router, gateway, or broadband modem, you must also open the ports used by the V500 system to access the Internet. Once you have done these, refer to the section that pertains to your environment.
