Important notice

Please make absolutely sure that you go through every single point of the manual chronologically and carefully.

Introduction

Welcome!
This manual provides the basic information you need for the optimal usage of your Stand-Alone-Player. Please read and follow the subsequent points carefully, so that you can set up your Stand-Alone-Player quickly and easily. We show you the necessary settings in just a few steps.

Items delivered

A power cord, a power adapter and a VESA-Mount kit are included in the delivery of the Stand-Alone-Player.

Accepting the delivery

Attention – important note for accepting goods!
Please check directly upon receipt, whether the cardboard or packaging has been damaged (visual inspection). In this case, please refuse to accept the goods! The freight forwarder will take the delivery and initiate a new delivery. 

In addition, please check the functioning of the delivered goods immediately after receipt (function test). The device must be unpacked, connected and switched on. If a defect is detected (e.g. damage of the housing) it must be reported to heinekingmedia GmbH within 3 working days after accepting the delivery (see chapter conduct in the event of damage). Please note that some possible defects of the display can only be detected when the display is switched on (e.g. devices does not start, pixel error, glass breakage)! 

If the damage is reported later or if goods with visual transport damage have been accepted, heinekingmedia GmbH cannot initiate a free claims settlement and the customer has to bear all potential costs related to a repair and shipping!

Mounting and wiring

Attaching the wall mount 

Fasten the rear panel of the VESA mount kit to a vertical surface with at least 4 screws (maximum 8 screws possible). Note that the embossed arrow points upwards. Now hang the Stand-Alone-Player with the keyhole-shaped recesses in the housing (narrow side of the recesses facing upwards) on the corresponding hooks.

Wire connections

Connect the supplied power cable to the Stand-Alone-Player and connect the other end of the cable to an easily accessible power outlet (230V).

Now connect your display to the corresponding connector on the back of your Stand-Alone-Player using an HDMI or VGA cable. Make sure that your display is also connected to the power supply and that the correct signal source is selected. Please refer to the manual of your display and/or the manufacturer's website for correct wiring and configuration of your display.

Internet connection

Connect a LAN cable (not supplied) to the RJ45 network connector of your Stand-Alone-Player and connect the other end to a dedicated network outlet, switch or router.

If you want to connect the device wirelessly to a Wi-Fi network, please refer to chapter 6 (network settings) of this manual.

If the Internet connection is successful, please continue with step 5.

First usage

  • Switch on the Stand-Alone-Player.
  • After the Windows operating system has started, it takes about 30 seconds for the pre-installed software, the DSBplayer, to start.
  • When the DSBplayer is started for the first time, it automatically shows a display identification. Please write the identification down. You will need this identifier later for the screen setup (Chapter 7).
  • If you want to operate the Windows interface, connect the mouse and keyboard to your Stand-Alone-Player and press the "F4" key to exit the DSBplayer.
  • To start DSBplayer again, open the start menu, navigate to the programs and open the folder "heinekingmedia GmbH". Here you find the link for the "heinekingmedia.Player.Starter". A click on this link starts the DSBplayer.
