WELCOME TO PLAY. LET’S GET YOU SET UP
STEP ONE
Connect play to USB power, HDMI to the TV Screen, and to your network via the
Ethernet port.
STEP TWO
After a few seconds you will see a BirdDog splash-screen with an IP address in
the top left corner.
STEP THREE
With a browser enabled device connected to the same network, type in the IP
address and hit enter. You will see the BirdUI interface.
STEP FOUR
Type in the password to login to the BirdUI. The default password is birddog,
all lower case. You can change the password once you login. ONCE LOGGED IN
FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE TWO WAYS TO SELECT A SOURCE TO DISPLAY.
OPTION 1
USING A CEC COMPATIBLE TV AND REMOTE.
STEP ONE
Using a CEC enabled TV screen and remote, you can scroll through sources using
the up and down arrows on the TV remote, select a source then hit enter to
play.
STEP
TWO
If this is not working, then it is likely that your TV either does not support
CEC or does not have CEC turned on. To check for CEC support please consult
your TV manual or look in the screen menu settings. Typically, CEC will be
found in advanced settings or similar. Once turned on, exit the TV menu, and
push up or down arrow on remote control and if you see a scrolling menu then
you can use the remote to select a source.
Please note, there are often more than one CEC mode so try all CEC modes. It
is also important to note that not all CEC modes will work. In this case you
can select a source using option 2.
OPTION 2
SELECTING A SOURCE VIA THE BIRDUI.
STEP ONE
Login into the BirdUI.
STEP TWO
Click on AV Setup.
STEP THREE
Click REFRESH.
STEP FOUR
Select a source from Decode Source drop down. Wait a few seconds. The source
will then display on screen.
