Control Panel
The HD2700M+ has 3 modes for DVD and SD/USB/
DVD ROM playback. The rst 2 modes are for tradi-
tional DVD formats. Meaning the DVD has authored
with a menu, chapters and titles. The“TITLE”(1) mode
will auto play and loop all the video les and chap-
ters associated with the largest title on the DVD. Most
main stream DVDs are authored so the main feature
is in a single title and other content such as behind
the screens footage is in separate titles. The “ALL” (2)
mode option will simply play all of the DVD content
in order according to how the disc was authored.The
“SD/USB/ROM” (3) mode is to be used when video,
audio and photo les such as .mov, .mp4, .MPEG2,
MP3, JPG, etc are simply copied onto an SD, USB or
DVD Disc/DVD ROM (when using DVD ROM each le
must be 1GB or less). Once in “Files” mode the set-
tings menu oers multiple “Play Mode” options in-
cluding repeat, interactive and scheduler (see page 3
for more details).The Eject button (4) only illuminates
30 seconds after a DVD has been inserted. The player
can be powered on and o with either the power
button (5) (RED=O/GREEN=On) or the remote.

Connections
The HD2700M+ is capable out outputting video from
either Composite Video (6), HDMI (7) or Component
Video (8). The HD2700M is capable of outputting
audio through HDMI, R/L audio jacks (9) and digital
audio (10) while HDMI is being used (see audio set-
tings). The I/O port (11) is used for RS232 communi-
cation and connecting to our line of interactive so-
lutions including PUSH, ELEVATE, MOVE, SENSE and
WAVE. The Ethernet jack (12) and Wi USB (13) can
be used for time sync only.

Settings - Play Mode
The HD2700M+ has 4 play back options, when in FILES Mode,
which can be accessed and changed by selecting the Settings
option from the home screen (15) or by pressing the Settings
button on the remote. Each mode has unique functionality
and can be easily changed for your specic application.
• Repeat Mode (16) - This mode will loop content loaded on
an SD, USB or DVD ROM in alphabetical order. If your con-
tent includes videos & photos, the HD2700M+ will play
all video les rst and then play photo les. Your le list
will automatically play from the beginning when your SD,
USB or DVD ROM is inserted and when the player powers
up.
• Interactive trigger mode (instant & delayed) -These modes
would be used if you have an application that requires
interactive video triggering using a motion sensor, push
buttons, a wave sensor or weight platform. For example:
Lets say your application requires a looping video and 3
mechanical buttons that each play a specic video when
pressed. First you would load 4 video les on your SD, USB
or DVD ROM (17). These les would need to be labeled
000.mov (18), 001.mov, 002.mov and 003.mov (or what
ever extension your video has.... mp4, avi, etc..). The video
le 000.mov represents the video that will loop endlessly
until either button 1 (001.mov will play), 2 (002.mov will
play) or 3 (003.mov will play) is pressed.
- Instant mode (19) will trigger a dierent video even
if the rst video has not nished playing. For ex-
ample: If 3 buttons are available and button 2 is
pressed, video 002.mov will begin playing. If button
3 is pressed, then video 002.mov will stop and video
003.mov will instantly play.
- Delayed mode (20) will ignore any additional but-
ton or sensor triggers until the 1st video is nished
playing. For example: If 3 buttons are available and
button 2 is pressed, video 002.mov will begin play-
ing, play once and then begin looping the 000.mov
video. If button 3 is pressed during video 002.mov,
the HD2700M+ will ignore all requests for a new
video until the 1st selected video is done playing.
• Scheduling mode (21) - This mode would be used if you
wish to play specic videos at dierent times of the day
and/or week. For example if you wanted to play a break-
fast menu from 8am to 11am, a lunch menu from 11am
to 3pm and a dinner menu from 3pm to 11pm you would
use this menu option. Once scheduling mode is selected
you simply need to create a text le (22) with start and
stop times and load it on the same SD, USB or DVD ROM
as your video les (23). A sample play list can be down-
loaded from our web site or can be manually typed from
the example on the right (24). Notes: 1) The text le must
be called playlist.txt 2) None of the command text is
case sensitive, only the video le names are 3) Make sure
the date and time are set correctly on the Date & Time
settings section. In this example the [NUMBER_OF_VID-
EOS] (25) must equal the total number of videos loaded
on your SD or USB. [MOVIE_AUTOFILE] (26) will be your
looping attract screen or default video. The “breakfast
menu.mov” will loop whenever no other start/stop time
is active. You can input an unlimited number of stop and
start times and the scheduler works o of a 7 day calen-
dar. Trigger playback on specic days by inputting the
[DAY_TO_PLAY]= as MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT
(27) SUN, otherwise enter ALL (every day).

tions, use the settings / display option.

Video encoding tips
The HD2700M+ will play a majority of video
and audio codecs. The only limitation is the
bit rate of the le. The HD2700M+ is capable
of playing up to 100mbps. As a comparison a
standard DVD plays at 8mbps and a Blu-Ray
DVD plays at roughly 20mbps. Most custom-
ers are using video les well under 100mbps
but if the HD2700M+ is not playing properly,
load the video on any computer and play it.
Every video program should have an option
for “Video Properties”. You can view the bit
rate and determine if it is within range. If the
Trouble Shooting
• I am trying to play a main stream movie and it will not buer - The HD2700 series buers content to RAM so it will not play any copy
protected discs from major studios such as Disney, Tri-Star and Paramount. Our HD2600XD will play copy protected DVDs.
• No image on TV - Start by determining if you are having a video le issue or an issue with the output by removing the DVD, SD and USB.
If you still do not have a picture, unplug the power to the HD2700M+ and make sure you only have 1 video output connected (either
HDMI, Composite or Component). Follow this output cable to your TV and verify which input its connected to (some TVs have multiple
inputs... Example: HDMI1, HDMI 2 and HDMI 3). Make sure your TV is set on the correct input. Next plug the HD2700M+ back in. If you
still do not have an image after 30 seconds then press then press the HDMI 720p, HDMI 1080p, A/V or YPbPr button on the remote.
• Video on screen is frozen when is FILES Mode - On rare occasions the video playback can freeze after playing for a day or a month. The
cause is not completely known but seems to be a unique combination of le size, codec and bit rate. You can avoid this issue by fol-
lowing these best practices. 1) Video les should be longer then 30 seconds. 2) If possible load multiple les to play back. If freezing
continues set the player to “Auto Reboot” daily or weekly - see Auto Reboot settings (44) on page 3.
• Interactive option not working - Make sure the HD2700M+ is set to“Interactive” mode (either instant or delayed). Make sure your video
les are labeled as shown on page 2 (18). If the video le does not have an extension ( .mov .mp4 .avi ...etc) and/or does not have
000 001 002 before the extension the interactive portion will not trigger.
• Video is pausing or pixilated - Make sure the bit rate is under 100mbps. Make sure the audio codec is 16bits or less. Make sure the codec
is no “Pro-Res”. If any of these conditions apply the video may not play back properly and will need to be converted.
• Video scheduler is not playing videos at the set times - Make sure the play list is a text le and is called playlist.txt also make sure the
play list is on the same SD, USB or DVD ROM that contains the videos you wish to play. Review the text le (24) (page 2) and make
sure the video le names match what is entered exactly (the video le names ARE case sensitive). Make sure the date and time are set
correctly.
