MediaStar 782-DS Digital Media Player
Installation
1. When locating the 782-DS unit, ensure that a clearance distance of 25mm (1”) is maintained around the unit to
provide sufficient ventilation airflow. Items that could accidentally block the ventilation grills or impede the cooling
airflow must not be located near the unit.
2. The 782-DS must not be installed where there is a possibility of exposure to condensation, dripping or splashing
liquids. Containers filled with fluid should not be located in the vicinity of this unit. Do not fix the 782-DS to any
surface which is a heat source that may cause the unit to over-heat.
3. Connect the 782-DS unit to the display using the HDMI or other AV cable. Ensure the HDMI cable is inserted into
the 782’s HDMI OUTPUT port. All connectors are clearly labelled on the rear face of the unit. If the analogue audio
output is being used, connect the 3.5mm audio output jack to the display with an appropriate (adapter) cable.
4. If the 782-DS is to be operated by a user using a MediaStar Infra-Red (IR) remote control (part number 791-3W,
711 or 712 ordered separately), either:
a) Ensure the built-in IR receiver on the side of the 782-DS is visible, or
b) Fit a remote IR receiver module (part number 911-4154, ordered separately). The IR receiver should be mounted
in a visible position, facing away from the screen and be plugged into the IR RX 3.5mm jack socket in the 782-
DS. If necessary, the 911-4154 cable can be extended up to 10m using a standard 3.5mm 4 pole male to female
extender cable.
5. Power-on the 782-DS using the external mains-DC Power supply or via the CAT5 network cable if using
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
When powering with the mains/DC power supply:
The external mains/DC power supply input rating must meet the specifications of the mains supply at the installation
location. Only the LPS (Limited Power Source) power supply provided with this equipment should be used. This device
must be installed using a mains (AC supply) plug and socket that is located near the equipment, that remains operable
and is easily accessible to disconnect the unit in the case of an emergency.
Insert the DC jack plug of the mains/DC power supply unit into the jack socket on the 782-DS. Plug in the mains/DC
power supply unit, switch on and check that the status indicator LED by the DC jack socket is lit. Connect the 782-DS
to a local network port with the CAT5 SFTP patch cable supplied (or another equivalent cable of appropriate length).
When powering using PoE:
Connect the 782-DS to the network using the CAT5 SFTP cable supplied (or another equivalent cable of appropriate
length). The 782-DS will then negotiate a class 0/4 power supply connection with the PoE power supply equipment.
Check the status LED by the DC jack socket is lit. If a mains/DC power supply and PoE are used simultaneously,
most power will be taken from the PoE supply.
6. The status LED (by the DC jack connector) will initially be orange, then orange flashing as the unit boots up. When
the LED goes green, the 782-DS is ready for use and the video outputs will be showing a picture. Ensure that the
correct video input source has been selected on the display to see the 782’s picture.
When using HDMI, the 782-DS will automatically select the highest possible picture resolution that the display and
782-DS both support. When using the phono (analogue) outputs, the picture format defaults to YPbPr at 720p60.
If your display is not capable of supporting this resolution, you can configure a different resolution via the
on-board browser configuration menus.
The LEDs on the network connector will illuminate to indicate there is a valid network connection. The orange
RJ45 LED indicates a network link has been established, and the (flashing) green LED shows network activity.
