Determining Your Service 
Connection 

The MBOX will connect to the Mood 
Media Internet service via a dialup 
Internet connection to a local Internet 
Service Provider or via Ethernet through 
a broadband Internet connection.

 

If your location will be using a dialup 
connection, go to “Installing on a Dialup 
Connection”
 on page 7. 

If your location will be using an Ethernet 
connection, go to “Installing on an 
Ethernet Connection”
 on page 8. 

Administration Menu 

The MBOX comes equipped with a built-
in administration menu system which 
can be used to change configuration 
values set on the player. There are 
three levels of the Administration Menu. 
See “Figure 3: Main Menu

 on page 24 

and “Figure 4: Admin Menu

 on page 25 

for detailed menu navigation.

Customer Service at 877-696-7323. 

Getting to Know the MBOX

The menu navigation system allows you
