2.1 Setting Up the Hardware
To set up the hardware, use the steps that follow:
1) The DVDP is sensitive to static discharges.
Use a grounding strap or other device to
prevent damaging the board.
Be sure to connect communication cables
before applying power to any equipment.
To be ESD safe, do not plug in the power cord
of peripheral devices such as audio and video
input and output devices until the later step
that instructs you to do so.
2) Verify that the board jumper JP1 is set to the correct display format—
either NTSC or PAL—as shown in the following diagram.
3) Verify that the board jumpers and switches are set as shown in the
following diagram so that the boot mode is EMIF boot (out of Flash).
Switches are "on" when switched to the right.
