panel. If your power amplifier only has RCA inputs, use an XLR to RCA cable (not included)
instead. Repeat for the right channel.
8. Using another (Premium High Speed) HDMI® Cable (not included), plug one end into HDMI
INPUT 1 on the rear panel, the plug the other end into the HDMI output on a video source
device (e.g., DVD player, Blu-ray Disc
™
player, satellite receiver, cable box, etc.).
9. Ensure that the Master Power Switch on the rear panel is in the OFF position (O side depressed).
10. Plug the included AC Power Cord into the C14 power connector on the rear panel, then plug the
other end into a nearby AC power outlet.
11. Plug in and power on all connected devices. Start video playback on your video source device.
12. Flip the Master Power Switch on the rear panel to the ON position (I side depressed) to boot the
system. You should see the Monolith logo displayed on the front panel in seconds after pressing
the power switch. The front panel power switch should begin flashing blue. After about a minute
the display should show “Almost Ready”. Finally the front panel will display the main screen.
Once the unit has finished booting, the Front Panel LCD Display will look similar to the display in
the PRODUCT OVERVIEW section. The blue light on the front panel power switch goes dark again
when the unit is ready.
13. For normal operation, use the Power/Standby Button on the front panel to turn the unit on or
put it into standby mode, rather than using the Master Power Switch on the rear panel.
Note that the HTP-1 has a slow boot/eco mode and a fast boot mode. By default, the unit is configured
for slow boot, which takes about a minute. The slow boot mode uses a lower power standby mode
(below 500mW). You can configure the HTP-1 for fast boot on the SYSTEM tab on the System
Configuration screen in the Web GUI.
14. Note the IP Address in the bottom left corner of the Front Panel LCD Display.
15. Open a web browser on your computer, then type http:// followed by the IP Address on the
display into the address bar and hit Enter to display the Web GUI Home Page. Note that some
browsers default to using https:// on the address, which will not work. To be safe, it is best to
explicitly type http:// before the address. Create a bookmark in your browser, so you can quickly
access the Web GUI Home Page.
16. If your source connected to HDMI 1 is playing, you should see the front panel and the home
page describe the program format and the listening format. The front panel should display
-50dB as the default initial volume.
17. Slowly turn the Volume Knob on the front panel clockwise until the volume is at a comfortable
level. Verify that both the left and right audio channels are playing audio properly and that there
is video on your display.
Congratulations! You have finished the Basic Setup and are ready to learn more about the advanced
features and functionality of the HTP-1.
