5. Connect FireBall to the Internet
Note: FireBall requires an Internet connection to play
Internet radio stations, and for general system
maintenance.
• If you have a broadband (cable, DSL, ISDN)
Internet Service Provider, connect the included
ethernet cable from FireBall's ethernet jack to your
ethernet network.
• If you have a Dialup Internet Service Provider,
you'll need to configure Internet connection sharing
on a PC connected to the phoneline.
Note: You may need to purchase additional network
hardware such as a "router". Please contact your
Escient dealer for more information.
6. Power Up!

begin to flash RED during the power on cycle.
When the LED turns solid RED, the FireBall is
ready for use.
• Press the power button on the front panel or on the
remote control. The LED will turn solid BLUE and
video will be displayed on the TV when the unit is
on.
Note: You may have to press the "FB1" button on the
remote to configure it to control FireBall. Also be sure
the TV and receiver are turned on and set to the
correct FireBall input.
7. Quick Start
• Use the remote control and follow the on-screen
instructions.
Note: The MP-200 requires an Internet connection to complete the
registration process. If the Internet connection method is dialup then an
external modem must be used with the MP-200. An alternate method would
be to use Internet connection sharing via a PC or dialup router. Contact your
Escient dealer for more information.
