Section 2
Physical Installation
Planning the Installation
Ventilation and Clearance
Use the following guidelines when installing system components to ensure
proper clearance and ventilation. These guidelines apply to all installations
including rack mounting.
1. Mount components in a location with adequate ventilation.
2. Check for proper grounding if installing components in a rack.
3. Maintain a 2 in. (5 cm) clearance in back, and a 1 in. (2.5 cm) clearance
in front and on the sides.
4. Verify that there is sufficient space for a disc to be ejected from the disc
slot.
Power Requirements
Kaleidescape component power supplies are universal input and operate on
any nominal line voltage between 100–240 V, and frequency between 50–60
Hz. Verify that power outlets are grounded, preferably shielded from power
surges and brownouts.
Kaleidescape recommends a grounded outlet with a high-quality surge protector
for the power source for players and servers. A UPS is optional for servers.
System Design
Before beginning the installation, determine the type of the display and
audio systems that will connect to Kaleidescape components.
Kaleidescape Systems support combinations of the following outputs:
Video
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
Audio
HDMI (Digital stereo or multi-channel)
Coaxial (Digital stereo or multi-channel)
Optical (Digital stereo or multi-channel)

A Gigabit network is suggested, and required if there are two Cinema One
players and Blu-ray movies are played in more than one room at the same time.
Installing Cinema One
Connect network, audio and video cables. Then connect the AC adapter.
A wired network connection is recommended. Use the included Wi-Fi adapter
(not shown above) if a wired connection is not possible.

First-Time Setup
After installing your Cinema One, you will be prompted to set it up using
your onscreen display. Connecting to your home network (via a wired or
wireless network connection) and activating your Cinema One is required.
Two Cinema One players can be linked together to combine their storage
capacity and content into a single library that can be enjoyed on both
players. If a second Cinema One is being added, it can be linked using
the Link Players page in the onscreen menu.

Wired network connection
Select Network from the onscreen menu. In most cases, Cinema
One will automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
If you wish to set a static IP address, select Set static IP
configuration and enter your network information.
Select Accept these settings to save the information entered.
After a valid network connection is set up, the Continue option in
the onscreen menu will be available. Select Continue to proceed
to activating your Cinema One.

Audio
Audio settings for your player can be configured from the Audio page of
the onscreen Settings menu. A summary of all the audio settings is
displayed on the Audio page.
Cinema One can be used to watch DVD and Blu-ray movies with nearly any
audio receiver or processor. To hear lossless audio tracks (for example, Dolby
TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio) from Blu-ray discs without alteration, the A/V
receiver or audio processor must be able to decode these formats.
Audio Mode
The audio decode mode affects all other audio settings. The decode
mode determines if the player or the receiver decodes the audio. Audio can be

17
sent as multichannel PCM over HDMI by default, with all outputs enabled, or it
can be passed through to HDMI with other outputs disabled.
HDMI AUDIO
Bitstream pass-through
Select bitstream pass-through to send 7.1-channel Blu-ray
soundtracks over HDMI at the highest bandwidth possible (up to
192 kHz or 7.1 channels).
The lossless audio formats available on Blu-ray discs, such as Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and 7.1-channel PCM, exceed the
capabilities of analog and coaxial audio outputs. These formats
are only available over HDMI, and only when bitstream pass-through is
enabled. This setting turns off the analog and coaxial
outputs, and picture-in-picture audio cannot be heard.
Player Decode Mode
Select Player Decode to hear Blu-ray secondary audio or when coaxial or
analog audio outputs are used. This setting sends 48 kHz PCM output
over HDMI, up to 5.1 channels depending on content and cabling.
In this mode, the coaxial output passes through the audio bitstream for
DVDs, but re-encodes multichannel audio to DTS Digital Surround for
Blu-ray discs.
Secondary audio with picture-in-picture
Blu-ray discs support a secondary audio track typically used for
interactive audio and commentary. This track is mixed with the
main audio so both tracks can be heard at the same time. M-
Class players play secondary audio with picture-in-picture when
in player decode mode. (To hear unaltered primary audio,
bitstream pass-through must be enabled.)

18
Downmixing
The stereo audio output sends downmixed stereo when playing Blu-ray
discs or DVDs.
Dolby Surround Support
Select this option if the output is connected to a sound bar or receiver
capable of Dolby Surround / Pro Logic / Pro Logic II decoding.
D-BOX mode
Select this option if you have D-BOX equipped seating. Selecting
this option will send D-BOX compatible audio up to 5.1 channels
over HDMI and coax.
PCM stereo
Select this option to downmix all audio to stereo, as when
connecting to two-channel devices like TVs.
Volume
Movie Volume
Select Enable Dynamic Range Compression for movies if you want the
player to allow information from the audio track to compress the
dynamic range, thus reducing the volume of loud sounds or amplifying
quiet sounds.
Music Volume
Select your preference for the volume at which music is played.
Music Crossfading
Select whether you would like crossfading between songs when playing
mix albums and playlists.

19
Advanced
HDMI Capability Override
Audio receivers connected via HDMI automatically provide
information via EDID used to determine the audio formats sent by
the player to the receiver. Selecting Auto detect will automatically
detect the receivers capabilities and should provide the best results.
In rare cases, these capabilities must be overridden because of an
EDID that is inaccurate or has been corrupted by an HDMI extender
or switcher. Select Receiver supports all audio formats if you are
sure your receiver supports all audio formats.
Video
Video settings for your player can be configured from the Video page of
the onscreen Settings menu. A summary of all the video setting is
displayed on the Video page.
