2. Setting up the system
System connections2.1.
1(for Composite video only; Skip to step 2 for HDMI or VGA displays)
SET the output switches to NTSC or PAL
2CONNECT the player to your display with an HDMI, VGA, or supplied
3.5mm composite AV cable, and switch your display on to the
corresponding input mode.
3ATTACH the AC power adapter
→main unit status LED lights up and you should see “Starting up” on screen
4WAIT while player boots up (~ 90 seconds)
→once you see “Welcome” on screen, the unit is ready for content update or menu configuration
Entering menu configuration via USB keyboard2.2.
Initially, the player will boot into the “Welcome!” screen. PLUG IN a USB keyboard
to enter configuration menus. The menu and blue background will appear in
about 30 seconds.
If you have already loaded media contents into the player, contents will play back
immediately after boot up, and the “Welcome!” screen will not be shown. You
can still plug in a USB keyboard at any time during playback to enter the menu
system.
→PLUG IN a USB keyboard (not supplied) to the unit’s USB port. The player will enter
the graphical menu system in approx. 30 seconds
If you have set up a password, the menu will not be displayed until you press Ctrl-Alt-
Del
Navigating the menus2.3.
You must attach a USB keyboard (not supplied) to the XMP-120/130 to
configure settings. With the player booted up and ready, it takes approximately
30 seconds after you plug in the keyboard for the following menu to be
displayed:
Navigate the menus using arrow keys, space bar, enter key, ESC, and numeral
keys on your USB keyboard. Use the keyboard arrow keys to highlight menu
items, press the space bar to move the star (cursor), and then press enter to
confirm (<OK>) or reject (<Cancel>) any changes.
Connect the XMP-120/130 to your network2.4.
Wireless connection (XMP-130 only)
The player will scan for wireless signals nearby during boot up. If the network requires authentication, you will
be asked to provide the password for access.
Wired connection
To use the wired Ethernet connection, connect an Ethernet cable and the Wi-Fi (XMP-130) will be disabled.
Player IP address
You will also need an IP address for the player on your network. This could be set automatically (DHCP) or
manually (static IP):

3
DHCP –automatically assign network IP address
DHCP is enabled by default. You do not need to change the settings unless setting a static IP.
Static IP –manually assign network IP address
Highlight “IP configuration” and press “Enter” on keyboard to <Select>
Move the highlight to “Static IP” below, press “Space bar” on the keyboard to fill in the star (*) at the Static IP
brackets, and press “Enter” on the keyboard to select <OK>.
Proceed to configure an available static IP address. Select Wireless configuration or IP configuration as
determined by your connection. Please consult your network administrator if necessary.
Clock and calendar settings2.5.
It’s important to set the correct time and time zone for schedule playback.
Highlight “Time setting” and press “Enter” on keyboard to <Select>
SET local time, then
SET time zone.
Daylight Saving (DST) rules can be configured when you enter the Set time zone submenu.

Audio volume settings2.6.
From the Main Menu, select Output setting to enter the submenu. You can enter the sound level in percentage
(%) from 0(quietest) to 100 (loudest) or in decibels (db) from -22 (quietest) to 0 (loudest)
Video output settings2.7.
For best quality, set the output resolution to match your display’s native resolution to avoid image scaling and
blur.
If you are connecting to an LCD TV, the resolution setting is most likely 1366x768 or 1920x1080
For 1920x1080 displays, we recommend setting the output of XMP-120/130 to 1280x720 for the best video
quality.
If you are connecting a LCD computer monitor, projector, or plasma display, refer to the device
documentation for the best matching setting.
Press the space bar to fill in the star (*) before pressing the enter key for <OK>.
Setting a password2.8.
To prevent your player settings from being modified by
unauthorized personnel, set a player password to hide the
menus.
From the top level menu, select Change password to set a
password.
Once a password is set, you can only access the menus by
connecting a USB keyboard and pressing CONTROL + ALT +
DELETE (3-key combination) simultaneously. You may
connect the keyboard at any stage of player operation or
before/ during boot-up.
If you forget the password, you will need to reset the device.
See Factory reset.

4. Working with SMIL
The XMP-120/130 uses open communications protocols for highly flexible content presentation and playback
control. SMIL-compliance means predictable results across multiple devices, and SMIL’s non-proprietary nature
means that your investments are never obsolete.
Introduction4.1.
Using SMIL (pronounced “smile”), the language created by W3C for multimedia communications, the media
player understands the language “spoken”by professional tools from companies such as Adobe, Apple,
Microsoft, and Real Networks. What this means is quicker, easier, and better integration of your players into
your digital signage networks, opening up avenues of software controls and realizing the full potential of your
player hardware down the road.
