Step 2: Follow the Setup
Wizard on Your HDTV
This section describes how to select the HDTV resolution and start
the wizard to configure HP MediaSmart Connect at the HDTV,
and then how to install the software from the Installation CD and
proceed with the setup at the computer.
When using the remote control to operate the HP MediaSmart
Connect, point the remote control at the remote control sensor on
the front of the device, press a button on the remote control, and
then wait for the device to respond.
IMPORTANT: Note that some remote control button
!
actions may take longer than others to complete. Be
patient, and allow sufficient time for a response before
pressing the next remote control button.
For a wireless network, you need the name or SSID of your
network, and the security information (the WEP key or the WPA
passphrase).
Getting Started
The Installation CD installs the Microsoft
(WMP) software, if it is not already installed. The WMP software
uses your home network to stream photos, videos, and music to
the HP MediaSmart Connect for viewing on your HDTV. You select
which media folders on your computer you want to share with the
HP MediaSmart Connect. Windows Media Player must be
installed, and HP MediaSmart Connect must be allowed in order
to display the media shared from your computer. These steps
occur during the software installation.
You can use any Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)-compliant server
program to stream media to HP MediaSmart Connect. HP
recommends and supports Windows Media Player 11. For
information about using Windows Media Player 11, see
"Chapter 7: Using Windows Media Player" on page 86.
