If RC functions only at short distances or stopped functioning, make sure to replace batteries to new ones.

Connection to a TV set with HDMI/DVI output:

HDMI IN

Since Dune HD Center is designed first of all for playback of high definition (HD) video (up to 1080p), the best way of signal transmission from player to a TV set or projector is the HDMI interface. In this case, video and audio streams are transmitted in digital form, without losses, allowing enjoying excellent picture and sound. It is recommended to connect the player to any compatible equipment using original DUNE HDMI cable (option). If your TV set has no HDMI socket, but it is equipped with DVI one, you can use an original DUNE HDMI-DVI adapter (to be connected to HDMI-HDMI cable) or Dune HDMI-DVI cable (no adapter needed). In this case, transmission of audio stream is only available separately, from an analog audio or digital optical output.
Make sure that the player and the TV set are switched off. Do not switch on until the end of connection procedure. Connect the HDMI output of the player with appropriate HDMI/DVI input of the TV set using a HDMI-HDMI cable for HDMI input of your TV set, or HDMI-DVI cable or HDMIHDMI cable with HDMI-DVI adapter, for DVI input of your TV set. Using RC of TV or projector (depending on what you use), select required input and display mode. For more instructions please refer to the manual of your displaying equipment. Wait until you see a picture on screen of your TV (or projection) set received from the player.
Connection to a TV set with component video signal input (Component Video, Y, Cb, Cr)
For this connection you should use a 3RCA-3RCA video cable and (optionally) a 2RCA2RCA audio cable for sound transmission to your TV set. Please note that video cable shall have an impedance of 75 Ohm, i.e. specially fitted for transmission of analog video signal

AUDIO IN R L

COMPONENT VIDEO IN
Make sure that the player and TV set are switched off. Do not switch on until the end of connection procedure. Connect the component video output of media player with relevant TV input using a 3RCA-3RCA cable. Optionally connect audio output AUDIO L R of the player with relevant input of TV set using a 2RCA-2 RCA cable (note: you can use optical cable to transmit digital audio to your A/V receiver; this way better audio quality result may be expected). Using RC of TV or projector (depending on what you use), select required input and display mode. For more instructions please refer to the manual of your displaying equipment.
Connection to a TV set with composite video or S-Video signal
Since both these kinds of connection do not allow a highquality picture, we recommend to use them only in case that your TV or projection set does not have modern video interfaces, such as HDMI or Component Y, Cb, Cr.

You may select files/folders only within the current folder. In case of switch to another folder, the information on selections will be reset.
Copy and relocation of files/folders
Copying and relocating of files/folders is executed using so-called clipboard functioning on the same principle as Windows clipboard: To copy files/folders you need first to copy them to the clipboard, afterwards go to the target folder and click paste. To move files/folders, you should first cut them to the clipboard, then go to the target folder and click paste. Copy, Cut, Paste commands may be executed using the contextual menu. In case of copying or relocation of a folder, its content will be copied/moved entirely, including all attached folders and their contents.
To copy or relocate several files/folders at once, you should select these files/ folders.
In case of moving of files/folders within one section of a drive, there is no physical copying thereof (only the drive catalog is refreshed), files/folders are moved to the new location instantly. In case of moving files/folders between different sections or different drives, files/folders will be first copied to the new location, and then deleted from the old location. During copying you should not unplug the player or disable the drive currently enabled. Otherwise the information may be damaged and become unrestorable.

Connection through SMB protocol:
In Server area enter IP address of your server. E.g.: 10.0.0.2. In case of connection to Windows PC, you may find the required IP address in network connection features on Windows PC (for example, in Windows XP you can see the symbol of network connection in the right bottom corner of the display; double click on it and you have a window with the connection status; choose Support folder here and you see the needed IP Address).
Indication of Windows name of the server is currently not supported. If your LAN is adjusted for DNS resolution of names and the player network settings contain correct DNS parameters, you may use the DNS name of your server in the place of IP address. In the Folder area enter name of common access folder at SMB server. E.g.: VID2 EO. After connection to a Windows PC, the name of common access folder may be found in folder properties (for example, in Windows XP file browser: right-click with mouse on the shared folder name, choose Sharing and Security and you have the needed name in the Share name field of the appeared window. The same window can be used to add new shared folder on your Windows computer for any folder you need to share).
Name of common access folder displayed in the network may not be the same as its name on hard disk. You should use a network name. If SMB server requires user name/password, enter these data in the relevant fields (usually not required).
Connection with NFS protocol:
In the Server area specify IP address of your NFS server. E.g.: 10.0.0.2. After connection to a Windows PC, you may find your IP address in network properties of Windows PC (in the way as described for SMB protocol above). Indication of Windows-name of server is not supported. If your LAN supports DNS resolution of names and network settings of your player contain correct DNS parameters, you may use DNS name of server instead of IPadress. In the Folder area, specify the full path to the folder on NFS server. E.g.: /data/video. path to folder should begin with / mark. Folder path is specified by specific NFSserver and its settings. Press OK. New network folder will be displayed in the root directory of file browser. Enter network folder displayed for browsing contents of connected network disk. If at an attempt to enter a network folder you see No access to network folder message, refer to Troubleshooting section.
Access to hard disk of the player from the network:
You may use your player as network file storage (NAS), and have a local network access to storage drives contents connected to the player. For FTP access it is enough to establish a FTP connection with the player. No need to enter user name and password (i.e. so-called anonymous FTP access). If a FTP client asks to enter user name and password, enter ftp as user name, and leave password line blank.

If you wish to connect to the player by FTP from a Windows PC:
Find out IP-address of your player (you can find it through the player Setup menu, ref. System information section). Start Windows Explorer and enter in address line ftp://IP-address-of the player (e.g.: ftp://10.0.0.3). for FTP access it is recommended to use special FTP-clients instead of Windows Explorer, such as FileZilla; specialized FTP-clients frequently operate better. For SMB access, the player provides a common (open) access folder titled internal_hard_disk, corresponding to internal hard disk of your player. No need to enter user name and password.
If you wish to connect to your player through SMB from a Windows PC:
Find out IP-address of your player (you can find it through the player Setup menu, System information section). Start Windows Explorer and enter in address line \\IP-address-of-the-player\internal_hard_disk (e.g.: \\10.0.0.3\internal_hard_disk). You can also address to your player as follows: \\IP-address-of-the player\\dune\ internal_hard_disk and \\dune. If you fail to get access to the player from the network, please refer to Troubleshooting section.

Troubleshooting

Chapter 9
TROUBLE: the device does not switch on. SOLUTION: check, if the media player is connected to AC mains. TROUBLE: the device is properly connected to the mains, but works improperly. SOLUTION: 1. it is possible that the temperature requirements were not observed, and there is condensate on internal parts. Immediately switch the device into Standby mode, and unplug it of the AC mains. Wait until the condensate evaporates, cf. Safety measures, and afterwards restart using of the media player in normal mode.
2. it is possible that the device needs to be rebooted. Switch to Standby mode, and unplug of the AC mains. Wait ca. 1 minute, afterwards turn on. 3. some functions can work improperly or not be enabled, it is due to the software recorded on the media. Make sure that functions required are enabled/disabled in the specific media fragment. If after all the remedies above you still think that the media player works improperly, please refer to the service center. TROUBLE: the remote control does not work or works improperly. SOLUTION: Please refer to the Remote control section for proper operation of the remote control. TROUBLE: The player turns on, but there is no picture. SOLUTION: If during 60 sec after switching on, there is no picture on the screen of your TV, and the player operation indicator is lighted, most probably video output parameters of your player or video input of your TV/projection set are incorrect. If you are sure that the equipment is duly connected, but (using appropriate cable connected to appropriate sockets), try to adjust video input settings using MODE button of your RC. Ref. Quick adjusting of video output. TROUBLE: Player switched on, but no picture on the screen SOLUTION: If during 60 sec after switching on there is no picture on the screen of your TV set, and the player operation indicator is lighted, most probably video output parameters of your player or video input of your TV set/projector are incorrect. If you are not sure that the equipment is duly connected (using appropriate cable connected to appropriate sockets), try to change video input settings using MODE button of your RC. Ref. Quick setting of video output

TROUBLE: HDMI connection does not function or function improperly (picture disappears/jumps, etc.) This kind of troubles results from bad compatibility of the player with some models of HDMI equipment. Symptoms may be the following:
1. HDMI-connection is not available at all, although everything is duly connected and adjusted. 2. Recurrent failure or jumping of picture during video playback or operation of file browser. 3. Recurrent warning on TV screen about change of video mode during video playback or operation of file browser. 4. Sound troubles of TV set (during sound transmission through HDMI). 5. Color bars on screen. 6. Other artefacts Note: reinitializing of HDMI-video output of the player at switching between file browser and video playback (in the form of several second delay before playback start and return to the file browser) is an expected and normal player behavior with current firmware versions installed in any HDMI-equipment which does not prevent from using the player. This feature does not relate to above troubles. If you encounter the problems above: First of all, make sure that the problem relates to HDMI connection: try to use an analog connection to TV set (e.g., component). If problem persists after using of analog connection, it shall mean that it relates not to HDMI, but to your TV set. Try to switch on/off the sound transmission through HDMI (setup menu, Sound setting section), sometimes it has a considerable effect on the situation. Try different settings of video output: 480i/720p/1080i/1080p, 23.976/24/ 30/50/59.94/60Hz. Your TV set may not support some video modes, or does it improperly. Change of video mode to another compatible with your TV set may help solving the problem. You should test by consecutive examination of video modes. It is suggested to start with the lowest picture resolutions. If possible, try to use another HDMI cable. If possible, try to change the mode of connection of the player to your HDMIequipment: e.g., instead of connection through a receiver, connect directly to a TV set. If possible, try to connect the player to another TV set or AV-receiver. Since the problem may be caused by another equipment, and not the player or HDMI cable. If the problem persists, it is quite probable that the player is not compatible or hardly compatible with HDMI-equipment. It is probable that the future firmware will have modifications/updates eliminating problems with your HDMI-equipment. You may post a written description of your problem on the manufacturers forum or e-mail it (you may find its address at www.hdi.co.il). In such cases, please describe your problem in details as much as possible, including conditions and situations in which it manifests.

Chapter 9 45

BD-ROM player:
TROUBLE: none of optical media is played back or is played with noise or hang-up. SOLUTION: make sure that there is a disc in the tray duly inserted (printed labels upward). Check for deep scratches and dirt on the optical data carrier. Check the media content, it is possible that the media player does not play back this type of media or materials. Please refer to Key features of DUNE HD Center and Notes on discs sections for full list of discs and AV codec types. TROUBLE: BD-ROM and DVD-ROM are not played back. SOLUTION: check the regional code on your disc. The disc coding shall match the coding on the rear panel of your media player. Please refer to information on regional protection of content, cf. Notes on discs section. TROUBLE: Some functions of BD-ROM differ from their description. SOLUTION: set of functions, as well as internal menu of BD-ROM disc may vary. Try playing back of another disc. Cf. Main features of Blu-ray discs. TROUBLE: the default language of the media player menu is not displayed in the subtitles or not sounded. SOLUTION: it is possible that this media simply does not contain a sound track and subtitles with support of a specific language. Check these parameters on the disc cover or try another disc. TROUBLE: no subtitles displayed. SOLUTION: it is possible that this media simply does not contain subtitles or they are disabled. Press Subtitle button several times and select one of subtitles versions, if they are available on the disc. Check the availability of subtitles on the disc cover or try another disc. TROUBLE: when playing a program from a BD-ROM the current camera angle does not change (Angle). SOLUTION: it is possible that this disc does not support the angle selection. Not all movie scenes may change the angle. Check the availability of such scenes on the disc cover or try another disc. TROUBLE: Player hangs up on an attempt to read the optical disk, and the EJECT button does not work. SOLUTION: 1. Switch the player off (using the power button on the player). 2. Switch the player on. 3. Press and hold the EJECT button on the front panel of the player. 4. Wait for the player to finish loading process (may take about 1 minute). 5. The player should eject the disk in the end of the loading process.

Mediaplayer

TROUBLE: Jerking playback of high bitrate video files, with recurrent hang-up of video image SOLUTION: Make sure during playback of high bitrate video files that the player has
sufficient media data reading rate (even with some reserve) of used data storage drive. If reading rate is insufficient, there will be playback failures. To avoid this kind of failures, it is advisable to store the file on a drive ensuring best reading rate and playback the file from this device. Tip: the quickest drive is the internal hard drive of your media player. You may find a table of approximate reading rates for different kinds of drives on the manufacturers site You may evaluate the speed potential of a specific drive as follows: Select the file from the file browser, press INFO button on RC and select Reading check. The player will check the file reading and display the information on maximum possible rate of media data reading from this file. For smooth playback of the file, this rate shall exceed the maximum file bitrate. In some cases, the reserve may not be sufficient compared to an average file bitrate. File bitrate may be evaluated during file playback by the player by pressing the INFO button. Note: the information on bitrate delivered by the player is very rough and may be erroneous, thats why it is advisable to use this function only during a file playback from the drive which reading rate is a priori sufficient (e.g.: from internal EXT2/EXT3formatted hard disk).
During file playback by the player, the information box activated with INFO button may display Clipboard underflowing:., displaying the duration of time span in seconds during which underrun of input buffer of the decoder took place. If you see this warning, it shall mean the insufficient reading rate from the drive. During playback of a file from the built-in EXT2/EXT3-formatted hard drive, the maximum possible data transmission rate is reached. It is suggested to copy a problematic file to the internal hard disk of the player. If during playback from the internal hard disk the the problem disappers, its most probably caused by the insufficient reading rate from the external resource used earlier. In the same time, jumps and other playback failures may result from properties of the media file. For instance, it may be coded so that the players decoder does not simply understand it. You may check it easily: if file playback failures happen even when playing it from the internal hard disk, then the problem is caused by the file itself. It is probable that with future firmware versions it may be played correctly, but the manufacturer cannot guarantee it. TROUBLE: Selected file is not played back, although its format seems to be supported by the player SOLUTION: The problem may be due to several causes: File error. To eliminate this factor you may try to play back the file with different software player installed on your PC. If all of these players warn about the failure, then this file may not be used. File coding specifics. Although the DUNE player supports the majority of most popular file formats (containers and codecs), it shall not mean that it will normally play back any file of these formats encoded by any way. Frequently, these files are made with violation of certain rules, and although they may be correctly played back with different embedded PC players, the DUNE player may not do this (since the HW decoder of the player and/or player software are not designed for playback of such exotic files).

Detach the USB flash drive from the player, and delete the dune_firmware.dff file from it (do not attach the USB flash drive with this file to the player when you switch the player on, otherwise, the player will attempt to recover the firmware again). Switch the player off (using the power button on the player). Switch the player on. The recovered firmware should load in the usual way.

Connection to a TV set with HDMI/DVI output:
Since Dune HD Center is designed first of all for playback of high definition (HD) video (up to 1080p), the best way of signal transmission from player to a TV set or projector is the HDMI interface. In this case, video and audio streams are transmitted in digital form, without losses, allowing enjoying excellent picture and sound. It is recommended to connect the player to any compatible equipment using original DUNE HDMI cable (option). If your TV set has no HDMI socket, but it is equipped with DVI one, you can use an original DUNE HDMI-DVI adapter (to be connected to HDMI-HDMI cable) or Dune HDMI-DVI cable (no adapter needed). In this case, transmission of audio stream is only available separately, from an analog audio or digital optical output. 1) Make sure that the player and the TV set are switched off. Do not switch on until the end of connection procedure. 2) Connect the HDMI output of the player with appropriate HDMI/DVI input of the TV set using a HDMI-HDMI cable for HDMI input of your TV set, or HDMI-DVI cable or HDMI-HDMI cable with HDMI-DVI adapter, for DVI input of your TV set. 3) Using RC of TV or projector (depending on what you use), select required input and display mode. For more instructions please refer to the manual of your displaying equipment. 4) Wait until you see a picture on screen of your TV (or projection) set received from the player.

HDMI IN

Connection to a TV set with component video signal input (Component Video, Y, Cb, Cr)
For this connection you should use a 3RCA-3RCA video cable and (optionally) a 2RCA2RCA audio cable for sound transmission to your TV set. Please note that video cable shall have an impedance of 75 Ohm, i.e. specially fitted for transmission of analog video signal. 1) Make sure that the player and TV set are switched off. Do not switch on until the end of connection procedure. 2) Connect the component video output of media player with relevant TV input using a 3RCA-3RCA cable. 3) Optionally connect audio output AUDIO L R of the player with relevant input of TV set using a 2RCA-2 RCA cable (note: you can use optical cable to transmit digital audio to your A/V receiver; this way better audio quality result may be expected). 4) Using RC of TV or projector (depending on what you use), select required input and display mode. For more instructions please refer to the manual of your displaying equipment.
