work). Note that both end caps have a hole for routing your cables toward the back o f the unit.

into into SoundBridge. It should be inserted into the CompactFlash card slot with th e Roku
label facing toward the back of the unit, a nd toward the Ethernet jack. Close the end cap by
snapping it securely into place.

(not included). Close the end cap by snapping it securel y into place. Connect the other end of
the cable to your network.
