alternatives
■ If you use an audio/video receiver, you can connect
the video cable to the de100c's video OUT jack and
to a video IN jack on your receiver. Audio and video
connections from the de100c must enter the receiver
within the same device group (for example, through an
AUX group).
■ If your TV does not have a composite video IN jack
available for use but another device in your system
(such as a VCR) does, you can connect the de100c to
that device's video IN jack. With this daisy-chained
method, the device the connection passes through must
be powered on when you use the de100c.
■ The de100c also has S-video and VGA connections.
To use one of these outputs, purchase the appropriate
cable separately.
broadband: Ethernet
If your router or home network requires an Ethernet
connection:
Connect one end of your Ethernet
cable to the de100c's Ethernet port.
Connect the other end to
your router (or to a networked
RJ45 jack in your home).
broadband: Home PNA
If you have a home phoneline network (your home is
networked to your router via telephone wire within
the walls):
Connect one end of the phone
cord (provided) to one of the
de100c's phone jacks.
Connect the other end of the phone
cord to a networked phone jack in
your home.
dial-up
Connect one end of the phone
cord to one of the de100c's
phone jacks.
Connect the other end to a
phone jack in your home.
sharing a phone jack
To share a household phone jack between
your digital entertainment center and a
telephone, either:
■ plug the phone splitter into your
household phone jack, then connect the
de100c and the phone to the splitter, or
■ plug your telephone´s cord into the
de100c´s second phone jack.
