Wireless-B Media Adapter
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Wireless-B Media Adapter. This Media Adapter lets you bring the digital pictures and
music stored on your computer to your Home Entertainment Center, without running cables through the house.
Using a wireless connection, the Media Adapter displays your digital photographs on the TV for the whole family
to enjoy. And your digital music collection is finally freed from those little computer speakers and can play in full
glory through your stereo system.
How does the Media Adapter do all of this? The Wireless-B Media Adapter sits by your home stereo and television
and connects to them using standard consumer electronics cables. Then it connects to your home network by
Wireless-B (802.11b) wireless networking, or if you prefer, it can be connected via standard 10/100 Ethernet
cabling. Using the included remote control and the user-friendly menus on your TV, you can browse through the
digital pictures on your computer by folder, filename, or thumbnail. You can view pictures one at a time, or watch
an automatically created slideshow of all the pictures in a given folder. The Media Adapter supports four popular
picture formats: JPG, GIF, TIF and BMP. Use the remote control's Zoom button to get a close-up of the details in
your pictures.
You can also use the remote to browse your MP3 or WMA formatted music collection by title, artist, genre, folder,
or playlist. Choose the music you want, and let the Wireless-B Media Adapter play it through your stereo system.
You can even let music play in the background while you browse your pictures.
Use the instructions in this Guide to help you integrate the Media Adapter into your network. These instructions
should be all you need to get the most out of the Wireless-B Media Adapter.
