\
Do not connect the power cord unl you have made all the other connecons.
\
When you change connecons, turn o all devices before you start.
\
An HDMI cable outputs digital video/audio, so you don’t need to connect an audio cable.

If you use an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect to your display device, you must also connect the
Digital Audio Out on the product to an audio system to hear audio.
\
Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resoluons may not work. Please refer to the user
manual of your TV.
\
When you connect the product to your TV for the rst me using an HDMI cable or connect it to
