Configure the Software
Congratulations! By this point you have already set up all of the physical connections
for the VidaBox™! The next step is to properly configure the software.
Be sure that the video & audio cables from the VidaBox™ to your TV/monitor are
properly connected, and that any wireless keyboards are connected and synchronized.
If it’s not already on, start the VidaBox™ by pressing the FPower Button. Also press
the G Touchscreen Power Button to turn the touchscreen on. Either your
TV/projector or touchscreen will display video at this point – not both! We will
configure this in the next steps.
DO NOT SWITCH VIDEO CONNECTIONS IN THE MIDDLE OF
CONFIGURATION – If you want to connect the video differently (e.g.
switching from VGA to component), you must restart the VidaBox™ again.
After the VidaBox™ fully loads, the Media Center console will automatically start,
shown either on the touchscreen or your main TV/projector. A software setup wizard
will automatically appear and help you set up the Media Center components. For
now, exit out of Media Center to configure the desktop video, audio, & wireless
internet settings using one of the following options:
Simplest Method: Using the
keyboard, hit “Alt + F4”.
Alternate Method: Using the
trackball, move the pointer over
the “X” on the upper-right hand
side. Click on the “X” to close
the Media Center console.
Select the Close Media Center
icon, click OK
Using Remote Only: Highlight Cancel on the Media Center setup and hit
OK on the remote. Leave the checkbox Run setup next time media center
starts checked, then hit OK to close out of setup. Now you are on the main
media center console menu, press down on the remote until Tasks and
Shutdown comes up. Hit OK again, & five options will come up. Highlight
Close Media Center, & hit OK.
