Getting Started

Use the information in this chapter to set up and configure your Vision system.

To get started you need to:

1.  Connect audio and video cables to Vision and your widescreen high definition TV or home theater A/V receiver

2.  Connect Vision to your Ethernet network

You can connect Vision to a widescreen TV that has:

1.  An HDMI port using an HDMI cable for both video and audio

2.  Component video (Y, Pb, and Pr) ports using a component video cable with green, blue, and red connectors, and an audio cable

3.  A DVI port using an HDMI-to-DVI cable for video and an analog or digital audio cable. (audio is not passed over a DVI connector so you have to connect audio

   separately)

Note:

 Vision’s startup screens are displayed on the compo-

nent video output only. It may take up to two minutes for 

the video to be available on the HDMI output.

You can also connect Vision to a home theater A/V receiver.

Important:  

Read all of the following installation instruc-

tions and the safety information in the included carefully 

before you plug Vision into a power outlet.

Setting up Vision

Before you begin, look at the back of your TV or receiver 
and find the audio and video ports. Make sure you have the 
appropriate cables for your setup.

Step 1: Connecting the audio and video cables

Choose the setup that matches the ports on your TV or A/V 
receiver.

To connect a widescreen TV with an HDMI port:

1.  Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the back of your TV.

2.  Connect the other end to the Vision’s HDMI out port.
