Get to know your HELIOS X3000
Thank you for purchasing the HELIOS X3000 HD Network Media player. The HELIOS X3000 is built with professional-grade components and stateof-the-art features. Unlike your standard DVD player, the X3000 is somewhat of a mini-computer. And like all other computers, it will take some time for this player to start up because it loads different software. It takes about 10 seconds for the player to fully turn itself on. Once on, please note that it takes a little bit of time to switch from feature to feature.
Out of the box to-do list:
Check package contents Your delivered package should include one HELIOS X3000 player, one remote control (batteries included), one WiFi antenna, one HDMI cable, one composite video/audio cable, one power cable and one Quick Start Guide.
For more information on how to use your HELIOS X-Line player, you can download the complete user manual at www.neodigits.com (see HELIOS X3000 product page)
