Important safety information
This device has been developed and manufactured so that it does not endanger person-
al safety. Improper use can cause electric shock or re. The safety features integrated
into this device can protect you only if you observe the following instructions for installa-
tion, use and maintenance:
• Please read this operating manual in its entirety.
• Observe all warnings and instructions.
• Do not use the device close to water.
• Clean it using a dry cloth only. Do not use any liquids!
• Do not cover up any ventilation openings. Install the device according to the instruc-
tions in this manual.
• Do not install the device in the immediate vicinity of heat sources such as radiators,
ovens or other devices that give off a great deal of heat.
• Route all cables so that no one can step on them and they are not pinched, especially
not on the connector, on the power outlet or at the location where the network cable
exits the device.
• Unplug the power cable from the socket during electrical storms or when the device will
not be used for a long time.
• All maintenance work may be carried out by qualied service technicians only. Main-
tenance work is required whenever the device has been damaged in any way, e.g. if
power cables or connectors are damaged, liquid gets into the device or objects fall into
it, if it has been exposed to rain or moisture, if it no longer functions normally or has
fallen down.
• The device may be operated at ambient temperatures of 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95
°F) only.
• Do not drop the device or expose it to mechanical shock!
• Do not move the device as long as it is switched on.
• Place the device on a level, dry surface to prevent re and electrical shock hazards as
well as possible damage to the player itself.
• Do not place objects lled with liquid such as vases or bottles on the device.
• If the device has been exposed to extreme differences in temperature, allow it to adjust
to the room temperature for one hour before plugging it in. Condensation may have
formed inside the device, which impairs its functionality or can cause damage to the
device itself.

1. On/Off button
Activates the M740 or switches it into standby mode.
2. Operating status display
This LED lights up red in standby mode, while in active mode it shines blue.
3. Infrared receiver
Receives signals from the wireless infrared remote control. Please do not cover this
sensor.
4. SD/MMC card slot
Play back movies, photos, music etc. from cards placed into this slot. The card reader
supports the following le formats: SD, SD-HC, MMC, MS and MS Pro.
5. Front USB port for external storage devices
Media les can also be accessed from external USB storage devices like hard disks and
memory sticks (USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 up to 480 Mbit/s).
6. On/Off switch
Deactivating the M740 by this switch will completely disconnect it from mains and stop
any energy consumption of the unit. However, the media player cannot be activated by
the remote control or the On/Off button on the front panel in this mode.
7. Connection socket for power cable
Please only use the included cable for connecting your M740 to mains. Please make
sure that this cable shows no sign of wear or any defects.
8. SATA port
Use the supplied cable to connect a SATA hard disk (not eSATA). Once it has been con-
nected to this port, you can play back audio and video data from the external drive.
9. Reset button
On rare occasions (e.g. after updating the rmware) it can happen that the M740 freezes
so that it does not react to commands anymore. This situation requires a reset. Please
switch the media player off with the On/Off switch on the back panel. Then use a ball pen
tip or something similar to push the reset button and hold it for ve seconds while switch-
ing the M740 back on again.
10. Composite video output
This yellow RCA connector carries an analogue video signal without sound. Please note
that the image quality of the other video outputs is superior to the quality of the composite
output. Therefore you should only use this option if the others cannot be used for your
purposes.

11. Stereo audio outputs
These two RCA outputs carry the analogue audio signal (the left channel coming from
the white connector, the right channel from the red one).
12. Component video outputs
As a better alternative to the composite output you can connect your TV set and the
M740 via the component video output using the supplied cable. Please note that also in
this case the output does not carry an additional audio signal. The colour codes of the
corresponding RCA connectors are red, green and blue (RGB).
13. Coaxial S/PDIF audio output
This yellow RCA connectors carries the audio signal(s) in the digital S/PDIF format. The
digital signal transfer is lossless and, depending on the source le, audio will be available
in mono, stereo or surround.
14. Optical S/PDIF audio output
The digital audio signals can alternatively be transferred through a light wave cable ac-
cording to the TOSLINK standard. If you are using this type of cable, please avoid bend-
ing it too much.
15. HDMI 1.3 interface
This interface grants the best video and audio quality by transferring digital signals from
your M740 to your TV through the supplied cable. If your TV set has an HDMI connector,
please make sure to use it instead of the other video connectors in order to enjoy the best
playback quality your media player can offer (up to 1080p 60Hz).
16. Network port (RJ-45)
This LAN/Ethernet connector lets you integrate the M740 into your cable home network
at 10 or 100 MBit speed. Please use a standard network cable with RJ45 connectors. A
green LED located at this port indicates a proper connection on both ends of the cable.
17. USB ports for external storage devices
In addition to the corresponding port on the front panel these connectors can be used to
access media data from external USB storage devices like hard disks and memory sticks
(USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 up to 480 Mbit/s).
18. USB port for connection to a PC/Mac
If you have tted an internal SATA hard disk into your M740 you can use this port to con-
nect it with your PC or Mac. Your NOXON will be recognized as an external hard disk
device without the need to install any drivers rst. This way you can transfer movies,
music and photos to your M740 fast and conveniently.
19. 3.5“ SATA hard disk drive bay
You can upgrade your M740 with an internal 3.5” SATA hard disk (not included). Please

make sure to deactivate the media player by the power switch on the back panel before
opening this bay. We suggest to use a hard disk with 5,400 RPM because of the lower
noise oor this type of HDD usually produces.
Remote control
The supplied infrared remote control is the exclusive command centre for your M740.
Please insert the supplied battery before rst use:
• Open the battery cover on the rear side of the remote control.
• Insert the battery into the battery compartment as indicated by the + and - symbols.
• Close the battery compartment again with its cover.
Please follow this common advice when handling batteries:
• If the remote control does not function properly or the range is no longer adequate,
replace the battery with a new one.
• Remove batteries when they are completely empty or if the remote control will not be
used for an extended period. This prevents leaky batteries from damaging your remote
control.
• Never throw batteries into a re!
• Ensure that you use alkaline batteries or, even better, rechargeable batteries.
• Dispose of used batteries at the appropriate disposal facilities.
• Always dispose of batteries in compliance with legal regulations. This helps to protect
the environment.
