D7-3500 User Guide
TV Setup
Find a suitable place for your D7-3500, within a distance of 1.2m or less of your TV screen.
Connect the power supply and the power outlet.
Included with your D7-3500 are a standard AV cable and a YPbPr
cable. Connect it to the A/V connector on the D7-3500 and plug it
into your TV. For the video, use either S-Video (better quality) or if
not available, the yellow RCA connector. For analogue audio, use
the white and red RCA connectors. If your TV supports it, we
recommend using the component cable (YPbPr) for optimum video
quality (up to 720p or 1080i) instead of the standard AV composite
cable.
For Dolby 5.1 surround and digital audio output, we recommend
using the SPDIF optical audio cable. Connect this to your amplifier
or sound system and change the settings for audio output on your
D7-3500 to RAW format and 5.1 surround output.
For content streaming from your computer and the internet, connect
the LAN cable to an Ethernet switch or router. For the wireless
model, content streaming is possible wirelessly using 802.11b or g.
However, for optimum performance and high definition content with
high bitrates, we recommend using the wired LAN connection
option instead of the wireless setup.
Having connected all cables, you are now ready to turn on the power and use the remote
control to turn on the device. Simultaneously, turn on your television set, and select the
A/V channel. Wait a few seconds for the system to boot and you should see the D7-3500
welcome screen.
Note: If everything is setup correctly but you can not see the welcome screen, press the
TV Mode button until you find the right video signal.

otherwise leave this field empty. When 64-bit WEP is used, the WEP key should be 10
hexadecimal characters. If 128-bit WEP is used, the WEP key should be 26 hexadecimal
characters. A valid value for a hexadecimal character is 0 to 9 and A to F.

D7-3500 User Guide
Installation on a PC
If the drive has been pre-installed and setup already, you do not need to prepare anything
else and can use it straight away. If you have installed the drive yourself and this is a
brand new HDD, you will have to create a partition first and format the drive before it can
be used.
1. Turn on your computer and start Windows.
2. Connect the D7-3500 via USB and turn it on.
3. Let Windows search and install the driver automatically.
4. Open “My Computer” to see your external hard drive.
Formatting
For the D7-3500 to be able and access the data on the internal drive, it has to be
formatted using FAT32.
1. Start the device manager, select the USB drive and create a single primary partition.
2. Format it using FAT32. The drive name you use here will be the name displayed on
the TV.
Note: To create FAT32 partitions larger than 32GB using WinXP, a third party application is
required. Multiple FAT32 partitions will not be recognised by the D7-3500, so if you create
more than one FAT32 partition, you will only be able to access the first on TV. None FAT32
partitions will not be recognised by the D7-3500.
Removal Procedure
For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always follow the
correct unplug procedure. Otherwise, an error message will appear.
1. Click on the taskbar icon for external hardware
2. Choose your external hard drive and confirm to remove it

USB Host
The D7-3500 has two USB connectors for external USB devices. You can connect up to
two USB mass storage devices with digital media content to display on your TV. For the
D7-3500 to recognise the external USB device it has to be mass storage class, and the file
format must be FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32. As an example, you may use a USB disk, an
USB card reader or a USB memory stick.
Simply plug in your USB device, turn on the power and you will be able to access the
device from the main screen. Browse the content, select the files you like to see and press
ENTER or PLAY to display them.
Note: USB hubs are not supported and we recommend using self-powered USB drives. If
two bus-powered USB drives are connected at the same time, at least one of them needs
to be powered by an external power supply.
If there are more than 7 files in one folder, use the Volume +/- buttons to scroll up and
down the list 9 files at the time. To scroll up and down file by file, use the UP and DOWN
buttons instead. Press ENTER to play a single file or press PLAY to playback all the files in
that particular folder.
