HDMI 1.4 Cable
Component YUV
Composite Video / Analogue Audio
Co- Axial Digital / SPDIF Optical Audio
Component Video offers the next best picture quality to HDMI so if your system does not have a HDMI input
we suggest you use the Component Video Connection.
HDMI offers the best picture quality and should be used in preference of any other connection. Use the
supplied HDMI 1.4 Cable for use with the X3. The HDMI can be connected to a AV Amplifier or directly to a TV.
Composite Video offers the most basic picture quality connection and should only be used if your TV does not
have a HDMI or Component Video input. Use RCA analogue audio outputs in the absence of HDMI or Digital
Audio inputs on your TV or Home Theatre system. RCA analogue outputs will downmix all content from mutli-
channel to stereo.
For digital audio connection to your Home Theatre System you can either use the TOSLINK Optical or the Co-
Ax Digital output. The X3 supports both Passthrough and Downmix for both Dolby Digital and DTS signals. If
you want your Home Theatre Amplifier to decode the surround sound Bit Stream you can use either either
output and set the Audio Output to SPDIF Passthrough in the Setup menu.
Rj45 Ethernet Network
The X3 is equipped with Rj45 connector for connection to a wired network.

PLACEMENT
The X3 is designed to be placed on the top of a TV cabinet so that the IR Receiver can receive reflected IR
signals from the ceiling and walls - ‘A’ diagram above. The X3 should not be placed to close to the front
edge as it uses the front surface to receive the reflected signals. If the top shelf of the cabinet is glass or
perspex then we suggest you place a solid material matt underneath the X3 protruding approximately
40mm to the front.
Should you require to place your X3 on a shelf inside the cabinet - ‘B’ diagram above - then we suggest you
place it very close to the front edge. Now place a reflector made of any solid material under the X3 and
protruding by approx 40mm to the front. You can use any solid material as a Infra Red reflector and even a
plain piece of folded photo copy paper will work.

External IR Sensor (Not Supplied)
The X3 is equipped with an external IR Jack for those users who require to place the unit in a particular
location that is not in line-of-site of the remote. A third party external IR Receiver can be used as long as the
wiring termination is the same as the diagram below. For those who want to make the external IR cable
themselves we can recommend the Vishay part TSOP31138 (or equivalent) as it has been tested and works
well with the X3 .

USB Host Port Press on/off button for 20 Sec
The X3 comes with a DLNA DMR function. That stands for Digital Living Network Alliance Digital Media
Renderer. That means another DLNA device can use the X3 to process media without you having to do
anything else with the X3 other than turning it on. Music can be played without having to turn on the TV, or
you can display photo's on your TV directly from your phone.
A Device which controls this process is called a DLNA DMC - Digital Media Controller. You can get DMC apps
for many devices - Android phones / tabs - Iphone / Ipad. Android Honeycomb dosn't come with a DMC
installed. Android Market has a lot of them, but not all are able to detect both the X3's DMR, and the X3's
Upnp server successfully. Bubbleupnp has been tested with X3 and we suggest that this is a good app to start
playing and testing DLNA DMR functionality. Remember to turn the DMR ‘on’ in the X3 Setup Menu.
