III. Product Layout and Connections

Copyright © 2019 Micca All rights reserved. v190826
A. Power
Only use the supplied AC power adapter to provide 5.0-5.2VDC power to the Micca
Speck. Using a different power adapter may damage the player. Do not cut off power to
the device while the unit is turned on as this may cause serious damage to the hard
drive and result in data loss. Make sure that the player is in standby mode before
disconnecting power. The player consumes a small amount of power in standby and
should be disconnected from power to conserve energy if not planned to use for a while.
B. Analog AV Output
The Micca Speck can be connected to analog TVs and display devices through its AV
Out connector. Only use the supplied 3.5mm-to-RCA cable to ensure correct signal
polarity and avoid damage to the player and TV/display. The RCA cable connectors are
color coded to match the AV input on TVs and display devices as follows:
Red
Right Audio Channel
White
Left Audio Channel
Yellow
Composite Video
The Micca Speck’s video output mode must be set to NTSC or PAL for the analog AV
output to function. If there is no picture or the picture is distorted after connecting the AV
Output, press the <AV> button on the remote to set the player’s video output mode to
NTSC. If PAL output mode is needed, use the settings menu to change the player’s
video output mode to PAL.
NTSC is compatible with all TV’s in the US. PAL is used for TVs in
certain countries in Europe, Asia, and others.
C. HDMI Output
The Micca Speck can be connected to HDTVs and digital display devices through its
HDMI connector, sending both audio and video signals over one cable. Only use HDMI
cables that have been certified to be v1.3a or higher to ensure signal quality. The Micca
Speck’s HDMI output resolution can be set to 720p (50/60Hz) and 1080i/p (50/60Hz).

Copyright © 2019 Micca All rights reserved. v190826
Do not plug/unplug the HDMI output with the power connected to the
player. Doing so may damage the player.
The Micca Speck must be set to a valid HDMI output mode for the HDMI connection to
output a correct signal. If there is no picture or the picture is distorted after connecting
the HDMI output, press the <HDMI> button on the remote to set the player’s output
mode to 720p. Other HDMI display modes can then be set through the Setting menu.
D. Auto Detect AV Output
The HDMI and AV outputs cannot be used at the same time. By default, the Micca
Speck is configured to automatically detect the optimal AV output to use. If an HDMI
connection is detected when the player is turned on, the player set its video output
mode to HDMI. If HDMI connection is not detected, but an AV connection is detected,
the player will automatically set its video output mode to AV.
This auto output detection feature can be disabled by setting “Auto HDMI Detect” to
“OFF” in the settings menu. When the auto detection is turned off, the player will only
use the video output mode that is configured in the settings menu. The video output
mode can still be changed using the <AV> and <HDMI> buttons on the remote control.
