ENGLISH
5.0 Connecting the media player
1. Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI connection of the EM7480/EM7485 and
connect the other side of the HDMI cable to a free HDMI connection on your
television. In case you do not have a free HDMI connection on your television,
you can use the component connections of the media player and television to
obtain high definition images. You can also make use of the composite
connection when using an older CRT television.
2. If desired, connect a network cable to the LAN connection of the
EM7480/EM7485. Connect the other side of the network cable to your router or
switch.
3. Set the television to the corresponding HDMI channel.
4. Connect the cable of the power supply to the ‘DC-IN’ of the EM7480/EM7485.
5. Connect the power supply to a wall outlet.
In case you want to use a HDMI receiver, you need to connect the HDMI cable to both
media player and HDMI receiver.
If you want to play 3D images using a receiver, please make sure you are using a
receiver with HDMI 1.4 ports (HDMI 1.4 IN and HDMI 1.4 OUT)!

8.1 Using the USB (3.0) slave connection (EM7485)
The media player has a fast next generation USB 3.0 slave connection. Using this
USB 3.0 slave connection, copying data will be done with incredible speed. The
highest possible transfer rate will be achieved if your computer also has a USB 3.0
connection and if you are using a USB 3.0 cable. If your computer does not have a
USB 3.0 connection, a USB 2.0 connection can still be used since USB 3.0 is also
compatible with USB 2.0.
1. Make sure the media player is completely started.
2. Take the supplied USB 3.0 cable out of the packing.
3. Connect the USB cable to the USB 3.0 (slave) connection of the media player
(blue USB connection).
4. Connect the other side of the USB cable to a free USB (3.0) connection of your
computer.
5. If the device is connected to a TV you will receive a notification asking to reboot
the device, Click ‘Yes’ (If you don’t choose an option the device will automatically
reboot after 20 seconds).
6. Your computer will automatically recognize and install new hardware. Once the
recognition has been finished, the media player’s hard disk will be recognized by
your computer as an extra local hard disk.
7. Use the Windows explorer to browse to the hard disk. You will now be able to
copy data to the hard disk of the media player.
8. The moment you have finished copying the data, you need to safely disconnect
the USB cable from your computer or media player (Right-click the USB sign next
to the clock and click ‘Safely remove hardware’). If not, the media player will not
be able to play the copied files.
8.2 Using the network connection (Samba)
It is also possible to copy your media using the network connection. This way, there is
no need to connect your media player to your computer.
1. Use the navigation buttons to go to ‘Setup’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
2. Select ‘Network’.
3. Make sure ‘SAMBA Server’ is set to ‘On’.
4. Press the ‘Home’ button to return to the main menu.
5. Make sure your computer is started and is connected to the same network as the
media player.
6. Open the Windows Explorer and type: \\IP-Address or type the device name, in
this case: \\EM7480 or \\EM7485 and press the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard.
7. Double-click ‘HDD’ after which the hard disk content of the media player is
shown.
8. You are now able to copy data from your computer to the hard disk of the media
player using the network connection.

Important information:
Since the media player is intended to be used as a media player with streaming
capabilities, the transfer rate when copying data using your network is not comparable
to your computer. The media player’s processing unit (CPU) and memory are
specifically designed for media capabilities, not for transferring data as fast as
possible. Since both CPU and memory are also responsible for the network
performances, the transfer rate using the network is not as high in comparison to the
transfer rate of your computer. This means the media player will not reach the same
copying speed and downloading speed as you can reach using a computer!
8.3 Saving a samba share in ‘Favourites’
It is possible to create a shortcut to your Samba shares, by placing this share in the
favourites list. This means you can create a shortcut to a specific folder on a network
device such as a NAS. This way, you do not need to login every time and you do not
have to browse to the specific folder.
1. Use the navigation keys to select ‘Files Manager’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
2. Select ‘Network’ and press the ‘OK’ button after which the workgroup(s) will be
shown.
3. Select the correct work group and press the ‘OK’ button. The available Samba
server(s) will be shown.
4. Select the Samba server you want to use and press the ‘OK’ button. If you need
to login enter the username and password en press the ‘OK’ button.
5. Select the folder you want to add to the ‘Favourite’ list.
6. Press the ‘Menu’ button and select ‘Add to Favourites’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
7. Return to the main menu.
8. Use the navigation keys to select ‘Favourites’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
9. Select ‘Favourite’ from the main menu and choose the added favourite and press
the ‘OK’ button. You do not have to login manually again and there is no need to
browse through folder!

8.4 Copying files using ‘File Manager’
The media player also has its own copy function. Using this function, it is possible to
copy from USB devices, your network and SD cards to the hard disk of the media
player. Also, it is possible to copy from the internal hard disk or network to USB
devices, your network and SD cards. The big advantage of this copy method is that
copying can be done using the menu of the media player without the need to
physically connect the media player to your computer. During the following steps we

Select ‘HDD’ again and press the ‘OK’ button.
7. Select the folder you want to copy to and press the ‘OK’ button. If you want to
create a new folder, press the ‘Time Seek’ (magnifying glass) button. Fill out a
name for the new file. Select ‘OK’ and press the ‘OK’ button on the remote control
and then select the newly created folder and press the ‘OK’ button.
8. Press the ‘Yellow’ Button to start ‘Copying’. A status screen appears.
