Connect to the MSN TV service
Your Internet player communicates
with the MSN TV service either
through a phone line or through a
Broadband connection.
The most common way to connect to the MSN TV service
is by using a phone line.
You only need to connect using one of these methods.
Once you've connected a phone line or Broadband cable
to your Internet player, turn to page 12.

To connect a phone line to your Internet player
1
Connect the end of the phone cord with the filter to
the phone jack on the back of the Internet player.
2
Plug the other end of the phone cord into
the phone jack on the wall.
Note
If the wall jack you're using is already in use, plug
the included phone line splitter into the wall jack. Then
plug the two phone cords into the splitter. The splitter lets
you connect two devices to the same telephone wall jack.
You can only use the phone line for one device at a time.

If you have an existing computer
and home network connected to
DSL, a cable-modem, or an analog
modem, you can use a Broadband
(Ethernet) cable to connect the
Internet player to the MSN TV
service. If you don't have an existing
home network or aren't sure, use a
phone line.
Your Internet player is designed to automatically detect
settings for many Broadband connections.
If you know your Broadband connection settings, or if
your ISP has given you specific Broadband settings, choose
Settings on the troubleshooting page you'll see onscreen
during registration and follow the instructions on that page.

To connect a Broadband cable (such as DSL, cable-modem,
or home network) to your Internet player
1
Plug one end of a straight-through Ethernet cable
with RJ-45 connectors (such as CAT5, CAT5e, or
CAT6) into your DSL or cable-modem, or network
router. The package for the cable, or markings on the
cable itself, will usually tell you what kind of cable it is.
2
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the
Ethernet jack on your Internet player.
