Installation
Before You Begin
• If you’re setting up a wireless connection, make sure you know the wireless network name (SSID), security password (if you
are using encryption) and the security type (WEP or WPA/WPA2)
• Do not place the DSM-312 inside a cabinet if you are using a wireless connection. Your signal will degrade or you may not
connect at all depending on the location of your wireless router or access point. Place in an open area for best results.
• Make sure you have all the required cables. HDMI and Ethernet cables are not included.
• Place the DSM-312 unit away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, and avoid setting the unit directly on top of
a receiver, set top box, DVR or other appliances that produce heat.
The quality of the video and audio will depend on several factors:
• The type of audio and video connections you use to connect the DSM-312 and your TV may impact sound and picture
quality. Use HDMI for the best possible video and audio quality. HDMI is required for video resolution 480p and above, and
for surround sound (5.1).
• Your Internet speed/quality will affect streaming quality. Download speeds of 4.0Mbps or faster is recommend for the best
quality video. Sometimes your broadband speed may change based on your ISP’s network conditions. Contact your ISP if you
have problems/questions about your connection speeds and quality. The type/quality of router can also affect your Internet/
network speeds.
• Your home network may also affect speed and quality. Online gaming, large downloads or transfers, streaming from other
sources, etc. while using your DSM-312 may cause your network to slow down.
