INTERNET
The Internet browser on your set-top box is very different from
your home computer. It is not designed to be a substitute for
the home personal computer. It is based on W3C standards
and is designed for interactive television applications (better
known as a TV browser).
It allows you an easy method to access media files that may
be available on the Internet or on other devices.
Web addresses are entered using the remote controller. By pressing the numerical keys, multiple
times, the letters will change. Press
key to go back (erase) a letter. It works in a similar way to
SMS messaging on a mobile telephone. If you have a standard USB keyboard, it may be connected
to the USB port.
Special characters such as . / : are entered by pressing the number 1 or number 0 keys multiple times.
The set-top box does not require http://. Therefore if you are looking for YAHOO Australia, all you
must do is type yahoo and press .
ACCESSING MEDIA FILES
If you connect a USB external drive, the drive will automatically be recognized by the set-top box.
(Note: It is possible not all devices are compatible)
For example, you have a USB memory stick connected with a music file called sound.ogg. You may
play this file through the Internet browser. Simply type the destination URL as:
storage://d/sound.ogg and select
.
If the music (or video) file is available on the Internet, type the destination URL as something like: -
http://player.teac.com.au/demo/sound.ogg
You may also do a direct Google search by typing in your question and selecting
