How to connect your player to the TV

What this covers: Plugging in your media player, powering it on, and getting your TV showing it. The media player is the Screenfluence device that drives what's on your screen.

Before you start: From the box you'll need the Digital Media Player, the Power Adapter, and the HDMI Cable.

Power the player

  1. Connect the Power Adapter to the media player, and plug the power cable into the wall outlet.
  2. The player turns on automatically — there's no power button. A blue and a red light on top of the case show it's powered on correctly.
  3. Once running, the blue display on the front of the player shows the time — that's normal operation.
  4. Unplugging the player is the only way to turn it off.

Connect to the TV

  1. Connect one end of the HDMI Cable to the media player.
  2. Connect the other end to any available HDMI input on your TV — most HDMI inputs are on the back of the TV.
  3. With your TV remote, switch the TV's input (often labeled Source or Input) to the HDMI port you used.

Tips & good to know

  • Players connect by HDMI only, one player per screen. For a video wall, an HDMI matrix splits one player across screens — ask us about the setup.
  • Note which HDMI number you plugged into (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, ...) — it saves hunting with the remote later.

Troubleshooting

  • The TV shows "No signal": check the TV is on the same HDMI input the player is plugged into, and that both HDMI ends are firmly seated.
  • No lights on the player: check the power connection at the player, and try another wall outlet.
  • The front display reads "BOOT": the player hasn't started correctly — contact Screenfluence immediately at 1-844-772-7336.
  • Still stuck: contact us — phone 1-844-772-7336, or email/live chat via screenfluence.com.
