Section 1 - Product Overview Wireless Installation Considerations The DSM-312 allows you access to your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless router or access point. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range.
Section 2 - Installation Installation Before You Begin • If you’re setting up a wireless connection, make sure you know the wireless network name (SSID), security password (if you are using encryption) and the security type (WEP or WPA/WPA2) • Do not place the DSM-312 inside a cabinet if you are using a wireless connection. Your signal will degrade or you may not connect at all depending on the location of your wireless router or access point. Place in an open area for best results.
Section 2 - Installation Connect Directly to a TV Follow the steps below to connect and install your MovieNite™ Plus Media Player directly to your TV: Step 1 Connect an HDMI cable (not included) to the HDMI port on the DSM-312 and the other end into an available HDMI input port on your TV. Note that HDMI is required for HD resolution.
Section 2 - Installation If you do not have an HDMI cable or a TV with an HDMI port, connect the supplied A/V cable into the AV port on the DSM-312 and the other end into the correct matching input ports on your TV (yellow is for video, red and white are for audio). Note: A composite connection made with the supplied A/V cable will not be capable of HD output to your TV. Also, do not connect the device through a VCR.
Section 2 - Installation Connect to an A/V Receiver Follow the steps below to connect and install your MovieNite™ Plus Media Player to an A/V receiver*: Step 1 Connect an HDMI cable (not included) to the HDMI port on the DSM-312 and the other end into an available HDMI input port on your receiver. Note that HDMI is required for HD resolution.
Section 2 - Installation Step 3 Connect an Ethernet cable (not included) to the LAN port on the DSM-312 and other end into your network (via router, gateway, or switch). If you want to use the built-in wireless adapter, do not connect the Ethernet cable. The on-screen setup wizard will allow you configure your wireless settings (refer to Step 6 for wireless setup information).
Section 2 - Installation Step 5 You will see the MovieNite Plus screen appear. Follow the on-screen setup (if any) to configure your DSM-312 media player. You may manually change your settings by clicking the gear icon from the Home page. If you connected an Ethernet cable and you cannot connect, please refer to Ethernet Setup on page 16. Wireless users continue to Step 6 (next page).
Section 2 - Installation Wireless Setup Step 6 - If you did not connect an Ethernet cable, the DSM-312 will attempt to connect to a wireless network. A list of wireless networks in your area will appear. Select the network you want to connect to and press the OK button on your remote. If you do not see your network displayed in the list, you can scroll down and select Manually Connect to manually enter your wireless network name (SSID) and security settings.
Section 2 - Installation Step 8 - Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the wireless security password. Select Enter and then press the OK button on your remote.

After you select your wireless network (from Step 7), select WPS (Auto) and then press the OK button on your remote. The WPS process will begin.
Section 2 - Installation Ethernet Setup If you have connected an Ethernet cable to the DSM-312 and either DHCP is not enabled on your router or the DSM-312 cannot obtain an IP address, the Network Setting error message will appear. Verify that your Ethernet connection is good. Check the link light on your router (or switch) is lit in the port that the DSM-312 is connected to. Select Retry and press the OK button.
