No Video Playback
On power up, the Mantis automatically begins playing a video,
either the Visual Circuits default or the last one programmed.
These videos are stored internally on the Mantis system hard drive.
No CD or DVD is required.
If there is power to the Mantis, but no video playback, run the
Play Test File
routine.
To access this test:
1. Go to the
General Settings
menu using the front panel controls
and display.
2. Locate the
Play Test File
option.
3. To stop the test file playback, press any button on the front
player. For further instructions, refer to Front Panel and
Display on page 10.
4. Wait to see if the Mantis player automatically initiates
playback.
5. If the test file plays properly, but there is no playback when the
test file playback is stopped, confirm that the video updating of
the player was done successfully. For information about
updating the Mantis, see
Updating Video Playback on
page 103.
CAUTION When Accessing System Settings
Care should be taken, whenever accessing the system settings
so that no unintentionally changes are made. The accidental
changing of some system settings can disturb or halt playback.
