4.
Plug in the power to start the media center (allow five minutes for
system start-up).
5.
Plug the TV and receiver (if used) into a power outlet. On some mod-
els, a two-prong outlet is available on the rear of the media center.
Connecting to the home network
To enable PC Link, the media center needs a full-time connection to
your home network. The connection can be wired (see below) or wire-
less (see
Wireless data connection
on page 67), although a wired con-
nection is preferred.
Wired data connection
Connect a CAT-5 network cable with RJ-45 plugs between the Ether-
net port on the rear of the media center and your home network. An
Internet connection is not required for PC Link.

Do not connect the media center to a switched power source.
Doing so increases the chance that the media center is turned off
and is not able to record programs as scheduled.
