Getting Started
Congratulations on purchasing a chumby NeTV. In the box, you
should find the NeTV device, a power supply, a micro-USB cable, a
video cable, and this manual. The IR extender is an accessory which
is sold separately.
To get your device up and running, please follow these four simple
steps:
1. Plug it in between two video devices.
The NeTV can go between most any HD digital video source and
sink. Plug the video source into the front side of the NeTV device,
and the video sink into the back side of the NeTV device. The
NeTV can go between your DVD and A/V receiver, for example, or
between your A/V receiver and your TV. It’s up to you!
2. Plug in the power.
Power up the NeTV device by plugging in the provided micro-USB
cable, and then plugging the other end into the provided wall
adapter. Once the wall adapter is plugged into an AC socket, you
should see LEDs on the front panel light up.
3. Turn on your AV system.
Make sure your TV and other peripherals are active now, so you can
see the on-screen instructions provided by the NeTV.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
The NeTV will guide you through the remainder of the process
with its on-screen configuration wizard. Configuration is faster and
easier with a smartphone or laptop nearby, but you can also do it
with the included remote control.

Go to the Help area at www.chumby.com/help, where you’ll find
commonly asked questions, troubleshooting guides, and complete
customer support information.
If you need to speak with a human, contact information is available
on the site.
The NeTV may not work well with antique TV equipment, such as
CRT devices, or other “unusual” hardware.
Shock hazard! Do not use near water.
We will not be held responsible if you do.
Don’t cheat on your power supply!
A power supply and cable has been provided with the unit. Please
don’t use a different one, or if you must, check the voltage first,
and make sure it is rated for at least 1A of current. Many phone
chargers and USB ports are only rated for 0.5A, and many phone
charger cables are made of cheap, thin wire that can’t handle 1A of
current gracefully. Just as a pet would be unhealthy if you didn’t
feed it enough, not giving enough power to NeTV can make it sick.
Symptoms of under-powering NeTV include network connectiv-
ity issues, random reboots and possibly even permanent damage
to the hardware, so use an alternate power supply and/or cable at
your own risk!

chumby industries, inc. (“chumby”) warrants the chumby electronic device (the “Product”), and only the Product, against defects in
materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of retail purchase by the original purchaser
(“Warranty Period”). Under this Limited Warranty, if a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is received by chumby within the War-
ranty Period, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, chumby will either (1) repair the Product at no charge, using new or
refurbished replacement parts, (2) exchange the Product with a new or refurbished product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the
Product. In the event of a defect, to the extent permitted by law, these are your sole and exclusive remedies. This Limited Warranty is
valid only in the United States for Products sold in the United States.
A replacement Product or part assumes the remaining warranty of the original Product or ninety (90) days from the date of replace-
ment or repair, whichever is longer.
When a Product or part of the Product is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes
chumby’s property. If chumby elects to refund the purchase price, then to receive a refund you must return the Product to chumby,
and the Product becomes chumby’s property. Parts provided by chumby in fulfillment of its warranty obligation must be used in
Products for which warranty service is claimed.
Instructions to Obtain Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service, you must deliver the Product, freight prepaid, in either its original
packaging or packaging providing an equal degree of protection, to the address specified by chumby. In accordance with applicable law,
chumby may require that you furnish proof of purchase details and/or comply with registration requirements before receiving warranty
service. It is your responsibility to backup any data, software, or other materials you may have stored or preserved on the Product. It
is likely that such data, software, or other materials will be lost or reformatted during service, and chumby will not be responsible for
any such damage or loss. For specific instructions on how to obtain warranty service on your Product, visit the chumby website (www.
chumby.com/pages/returns) or write to us at: chumby industries, inc., 12264 El Camino Real, Suite 203, San Diego, CA 92130, Attn: War-
ranty Service.

be identified by the “chumby” trademark, trade name, or logo affixed to it. The Limited Warranty does not applyto any (a) chumby
products and services other than the Product, (b) non-chumby hardware product, (c) consumables (such as batteries), or (d) software,
even if packaged or sold with the Product or embedded in the Product. Refer to the licenses accompanying the software for details of
your rights with respect to its use.
chumby does not warrant that the operation of the Product will be uninterrupted or error-free. chumby is not responsible for damage
arising from failure to follow instructions relating to the Product’s use. This warranty does not apply to a Product or part of the Product
that has been altered or modified (e.g., to alter functionality or capability) by anyone who is not a representative of chumby or if the
Product is inserted or installed in a casing not provided by chumby. In addition, this Limited Warranty does not apply:
(a) to damage caused by use with non-chumby products; (b) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or
other external causes; (c) to damage caused by operating the Product outside the permitted or intended uses described by chumby or
with improper voltage or power supply; or (d) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone
who is not a representative of chumby. Recovery and reinstallation of software programs and user data are not covered under this
Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty does not cover the cost of returning the Product to chumby; this is your responsibility.
No chumby reseller, agent, or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension, or addition to this Limited Warranty. If any
term is held to be illegal or unenforceable, the legality or enforceability of the remaining terms shall not be affected or impaired.
Implied Warranties. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY.
Limitation of Damages. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CHUMBY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCI-
DENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY
OR CONDITION, OR UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
Consumer Protection. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or allow limitations
on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary by state to state.
Governing Law and Arbitration. This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to
any conflict of law principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Any claim or dispute in connection

(a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/ or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be
chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses
unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
court of competent jurisdiction. If the foregoing arbitration clause does not apply for any reason, you agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of the state courts located within San Diego County, California and the federal courts in the Southern District of California
for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction of such claims or disputes. Not-
withstanding the foregoing, chumby may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court
of competent jurisdiction.

nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.
