4.0 Audio connections
The EM7180 has several connections for audio. During the following chapter we will
explain these connections.
4.1 HDMI connection on the television
If your television has HDMI audio support, you can make use of the HDMI cable in
order to receive both image and digital sound on your television, in stereo only.
4.2 HDMI connection (digital receiver)
If you have a digital HDMI receiver, then you can enjoy the true digital sound by
connecting the player over HDMI 1.3 to a HDMI input on your digital receiver.
4.3 Toslink (SPDIF)
If you have a digital receiver with a Toslink (SPDIF), then you can enjoy the media
player’s digital sound during movie and music playback. Connect the Toslink cable to
the Toslink connection on your digital receiver and media player.
5.0 Connecting the EM7180 to your network
Since the media player can also be used to stream your media, you can use the
media player’s 100Mbps network connection. Doing so, you can retrieve media from
your networked computers or your NAS (For example: The Eminent NAS type
EM4071 or EM4072) and play these media files through the network on your
television.
1. Connect a network cable to the media player’s network connection.
2. Connect the other side of the connection cable to a network connection of your
router, modem or switch.
In order to use the media player’s networking capabilities you have to setup the media
player for network usage. These steps can be found in chapter ‘Network setup’.
6.0 Setting up the media player
1. Turn on your television and set the television to the correct video source.
2. Connect the power supply of the EM7180 to a wall outlet.
3. Connect the other side of the power supply to the ‘DC IN’ of the EM7180.
4. Set the On/Off switch on the back of the unit to position ‘I’ after which the media
player will start.
