Your new media experience starts now. Here you will nd a description
of the Horizon box, instructions on how to set up the device and
how you can connect it to other devices. After successfully following
the instructions, you are ready to start using Horizon and to enhance
your new media experience.
Connect your Horizon box to a upc cablecom wall socket. If your upc
cablecom wall socket has 3 holes you can connect the coax cable to
the smallest hole in the middle. If you have a 2-hole wall socket you
must rst put the small adapter on the coax cable and then connect it
to the right hole (TV). Your wall socket might also be installed the other
way round; in this case please connect the coax cable with adapter to
the left hole.
CONNECTING YOUR HORIZON BOX
Now take the HDMI cable and connect it to the box and to one of
the free HDMI connections on your TV. Please remember the chosen
connection (e.g. HDMI 1/2/3, etc.). In step 4 you will need to select the
correct HDMI connection on your TV.

HOME NETWORK SETUP
If you ordered a upc cablecom internet subscription with your new
Horizon box, you can use the Horizon box as an internet router and
wire less access point.
If you have an existing internet subscription (separate router with upc
cablecom or third party internet subscription), you can connect the box
to your existing router.
Even if you don’t have an internet subscription you will be able to
connect your devices such as PCs, NAS, tablet PCs or smartphones to
your Horizon box (WLAN or LAN) in order to enjoy your photos, videos
or music on your TV.
For more information refer to the chapter HOME MEDIA SETUP.
Use Horizon box as router
To use your Horizon box as your router and wireless access point go to
MAIN MENU > TOOLBOX > SETTINGS > HOME NETWORK SETTINGS >
SET UP YOUR HOME NETWORK
Select CREATE NETWORK. The
Horizon box congures its wireless
access point. As a result, the SSID,
and ENCRYPTION METHOD are
displayed on screen. Write down the
SSID, and encryption method, as you
will need them to connect devices to
the wireless access point. The WLAN
password can be found on the bot-
tom of your Horizon HD Recorder.
The Horizon box now acts as your router and wireless access point.
At this point, you have the option to set up your media catalogue by
selecting SET UP HOME MEDIA.
Refer to SET UP HOME MEDIA to continue.
Connect to existing router (client mode)
If you have an existing internet subscription (upc cablecom or third
party), you can connect the Horizon box to your existing router over
Ethernet or WLAN.
Connecting over Ethernet
Connect an Ethernet cable between
one of the four LAN ports on the rear
of the Horizon box and your existing
router then go to:
MAIN MENU > TOOLBOX > SETTINGS
> HOME NETWORK SETTINGS
>
SET UP YOUR HOME NETWORK
Select JOIN NETWORK. The Horizon box searches the network for the
DHCP server to obtain an IP address.
Once an IP address has been ob-
tained, the following message will be
displayed:
“Your box is successfully connected
to your home network. Please select
CONTINUE to complete the setup
process.”
The Horizon box now acts as Client. At this point, you have the option
to set up your media catalogue by selecting SET UP HOME MEDIA.
Refer to SET UP HOME MEDIA to continue.
Please note that the Horizon Box
uses several of your router IP
addresses.

Connecting over WLAN
To connect the Horizon box to your existing router over WLAN go to:
MAIN MENU > TOOLBOX > SETTINGS > HOME NETWORK SETTINGS >
SET UP YOUR HOME NETWORK
Select JOIN NETWORK. The Horizon
box searches the network for a DHCP
server to obtain an IP address.
Since the Horizon box is not directly
connected over Ethernet cable to
your router, the search will not be
successful and you will be oered
the option of selecting your preferred
connection.
Now you can select WLAN from the
displayed options.
You are then given multiple options
for connecting your box over WLAN:
– Select from a list of available
WLAN networks
– SET UP WITH WPS PBC
– MANUAL ENTRY
Select from a list of available WLAN networks
Select the SSID of the existing WLAN router you wish to connect.
Enter the PASSWORD for the WLAN router, select CONFIRM and press
OK. The Horizon box will now connect to the router.
Set up with WPC PBC
The SET UP WITH WPS PBC option provides an easy connection method
if your existing router has auto pairing conguration capabilities. Check
your router’s user manual for auto pairing setup instructions.
When the router is searching for devices, select SET UP WITH WPS PBC.
The Horizon box and your existing router will then connect.
Manual Entry
The MANUAL ENTRY option requires you to enter the SSID of your
existing router manually. The Horizon box then scans for this network.
Enter the PASSWORD for your existing router, then select CONFIRM
and press OK. The Horizon box connects to your existing router.
At this point, you have the option to set up your media catalogue by
selecting SET UP CATALOGUE.
Refer to SET UP HOME MEDIA to continue.

Set up home media
Once you have successfully connected the Horizon box to your home
network, you can set up your media catalogue of music and videos
stored on your connected devices. Make sure your DLNA-certied
devices are connected to the Home Network using either Wi-Fi or
Ethernet before continuing. If your device does not support DLNA you
might install a DLNA server such as Twonky. Twonky is available for
PC, Mac, tablet PCs and smartphones. As a upc cablecom customer,
you can download Twonky software (PC and Mac) for free from the
upc cablecom website (upc-cablecom.ch/twonky). Download Twonky
software for tablet PCs and smartphones from an App Store (e.g. Apple
App Store or Android Market).
After setting up the home network
you have the option to set up your
media catalogue. Select SET UP
HOME MEDIA and press OK.
If DLNA devices are found, the
Horizon box will display a list of the
connected devices.
Select CONTINUE and press OK to
continue with the next step.
You will be asked if you would like
your Horizon box to create a cata-
logue of the music and videos stored
on your home network. This will make
it easier and quicker to nd and play
your home network content. Select
YES to turn this on and complete the
setup process.
Your lms and TV series will then
be available in MY LIBRARY > MY
VIDEOS.

Horizon’s DLNA functionality is currently limited. If
you possess a large number of photos, videos or audio
content, the box may freeze or respond very slowly. We
recommend you use a LAN cable to connect Horizon to
your home network or else use fewer than 1,000 les.
If your box exhibits problems despite that, we recom-
mend restoring Horizon’s factory settings and forgoing
use of the media playback function from the home
network for the time being.
We are working with our technology partners to extend
the number of compatible formats and improve the
cataloguing of media content from the home network.
