Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
Make surng the Web a part of your Home Theater Experience on your HDTV
Instead of crowding around a desk with all your friends just to show them this really funny video you saw on YouTube the other day, wouldn’t it be
better if all of you sat comfortably on the couch to watch that same video, but on your big screen TV, with popcorn? Watch movies from Netix or
shows from Hulu. Listen to Internet radio using Pandora or just blast 5.1 surround sound from a Blu-Ray movie3.
One Button Connection
The D-Link MainStage™ adapter can do just that. It acts as a bigger, better, HD display for your Intel® Wireless Display powered laptop. It wirelessly
‘sends’ your laptop² display onto your TV, enabling you to surf the web, view home movies from your home network, or your laptop², right from
the couch, with the push of a button.
Two Screens at Once
Drag a movie onto the Windows extended screen to watch on your TV, and continue using your laptop to chat, email, and work on a document.
Great for Presentations
The D-Link MainStage™ adapter is also great for presentations. Just grab your Intel WiDi enabled laptop and ‘send’ your colorful and animated
presentations onto your business at-panel equipped conference room with the push of a button.

For support/information regarding your Intel® WiDi software, visit http://www.intel.com/go/wirelessdisplayupdate.
Click Help for FAQs and solutions to many questions you may have with the WiDi software. Below are a few common questions:
Why is my Laptop and TV displaying dierent images?
If you are connected, but the image is dierent, the laptop’s rewall may be blocking the connection.
Why is the color on your laptop look dierent than on my TV?
On occasion the color on your TV screen and your laptop may look dierent. Try changing the color settings on your TV to match the colors on your
laptop. Refer to your TV manual for more information.
Why am I getting an ‘Incorrect Security Code Entered’ message?
If you receive a message saying the security code is not correct, make sure to type the code exactly as shown on your TV. The security code number
will change after an incorrect entry. If the connection fails right after a correct security code is entered, reconnect and type in the security code.
What do I do if no adapters are detected?
Click the Scan for available adapters button. If you continue to not detect the MainStage™ TV adapter, make sure the adapter is on and the TV
is displaying the Get Started screen. Also, try moving the laptop or the adapter to a dierent location. The adapter and TV should be in the same
