Getting Started
Make sure to use the HDMI OUT (main) and not HDMI IN output to connect your player to your
!
TV or video projector. Plug in and turn on the player. The player will go through its initial start-up
procedure (takes less than one minute).
If you experience a black screen or no video signal, please consult the following knowledge base:

You will then be taken to a quick setup screen. Follow the steps to set the language, resolution, and
network access.
Finally, you should see the main screen with access to the Video (Media Center), and Explorer
applications, among others, as well as Settings and Android Apps.
To set the default language for audio tracks and subtitles for video content playback, go to Settings
> Playback and choose your preferred default language for audio tracks and subtitles.
Audio settings
The Audio section of the Settings menu allows you to set preferences for audio output formats. If you
are using an HDMI compatible multi-channel AV receiver, please set the Digital Audio Connector
option to HDMI (HD Audio On). If your home theater amp / preamp is not HDMI compatible, set the
Digital Audio Connector option to S/PDIF (HD audio off).
We recommend that you set the Digital audio output mode option to Auto. But it may be a good idea
to select PCM mode (with decoding) for certain types of audio formats like AAC if your AV receiver
cannot decode this format. Bitstream mode always sends the audio stream to your AV receiver in an
undecoded way. But in this mode, some audio formats may not work if your AV receiver does not
support these formats.
In order to listen to music in lossless or uncompressed format, you can set the Maximum digital
output sample rate option to 192kHz. However, please be careful because this mode can generate
crackling in the speakers if you use an incompatible 192kHz amplifier or soundbar, or if you do not use
an amplifier or soundbar at all (sound from the TV). In this case, select the Auto option.
Video settings
By default, the player automatically adjusts the video output according to the resolution of your television.
It is strongly recommended to leave the resolution settings in Auto mode (in Settings > Video). If your TV
or projector is compatible, we recommend the Y'CbCr 4:4:4 / 10-bit or 12-bit mode for the best video
performance. Warning! The higher you move up in the video output specifications, the higher the bit rate
will be and will require a quality cable.
HDR > SDR Conversion
To benefit from the best SDR performance on HDR content, we invite you to go to Settings > Video >
HDR and Dolby Vision Settings and select the Dolby VS10 engine for HDR, DV video option. In come
cases, the picture could be washed out. In this case, go to Settings > System > Video > HDMI Range
Mode > Full Range. If you do not apply this setting.
