2 - Connecting the N100
If you can set up a VCR, you can set up a N100. In fact, the set-up is so easy and the N100 is so compact you can take it with you
on trips or to a friend’s house if you want. On the other hand, the N100 looks great as a part of your entertainment center, is silent,
has no moving parts, and automatically passes through any audio or video input signal to your TV when it is not in use recording,
playing anything, or being accessed with the remote. The N100 is turned off by unplugging it (there is no “Off” button), but, since it
consumes virtually no power, there is never any reason to unplug your N100.
2A. Connecting to Power
1. Connect the included power supply to the wall.
2. Plug the other end into the 5V power input jack on the right side of the N100.
3. The dim green light on the top/left side of the N100 should turn on. The N100 power supply is
universal (this means it will work with any voltage between 110V and 240V).
Note
: Power plug adapters may be required for use in countries outside of the intended one and are
not included.
2B. Connecting to TV
You control the N100 using the included remote control and an on-screen menu that the N100 displays
on your TV. Connecting the N100 to the TV allows you to see the on-screen menu and also allows you to
play back video on your TV.
1. Connect one of the included RCA Composite A/V cables to the A/V OUT port on the right side of your N100.
2. Connect the RCA composite cable ends to the corresponding inputs on your TV A/V IN plugs (Yellow=Video, Red=Audio
Right, White=Audio Left). You may need to use the included RCA-to-
SCART adapters in certain regions. Use the SCART adapter labeled IN.
3. Tune your TV to the proper channel for the inputs you just plugged your
A/V cable into, just like hooking up a VCR or DVD player to your TV.
To do this, you typically press TV/Input until you see the Input or Video
1, Input or Video 2, Channel 3, or Channel 4).
4. You should see the Emtec N100 startup screen on your TV. Press the
home button if you don’t see anything on the TV screen as doing so will
always bring up the Main Menu of the N100.
Note
: The Audio cables (Red/White) can be connected to your stereo receiver
instead of your TV if you want to play the audio through your stereo instead of
through your TV.
Note
: If the image flickers or scrolls up and down when you are looking at the N100 home screen, you may need to press the NTSC/
PAL button on the remote. The Emtec N100 supports NTSC, PAL standards and SECAM video input. Pressing the NTSC/PAL
button on the remote will switch between NTSC and PAL.
2C. Connecting to Video Source
Virtually all video sources have RCA composite (Red, White, Yellow plugs) or SCART (Péritel) output. Some video sources also
allow the higher quality S-Video output to be used. The N100 can support both RCA and S-Video input. If you decide to use S-
Video, note that you must change the Video Input selector in Tools > Settings > Video Input for the N100 to
function properly.
1. Connect one of the included RCA Composite A/V cables to the A/V IN port on the right side of your
N100. If using S-Video, connect both the S-Video and the RCA cables. If using SCART (Péritel),
connect the SCART adapters as well. Use the SCART adapter labeled OUT.
2. Connect the RCA composite cable ends to the corresponding A/V OUT plugs of your video source
(Yellow=Video, Red=Audio Right, White=Audio Left). If using the S-Video cable, you will still
need to connect the Red and White RCA plugs (for audio), but not the Yellow one, which is replaced
by the S-Video cable.
2D. Inserting Memory Cards or Connecting USB storage devices
SD/MS/MMC slot
This slot will accept Secure Digital, MS Duo / MS Pro Duo and Multimedia Cards. Insert as
