Step-by-Step Guide: Connecting a Blu-ray DVD Player to a DTEN D7X Panel Using an HDMI Cable

This guide will walk you through connecting a Blu-ray DVD player to the classroom Zoom panel using an HDMI cable. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a successful setup.

**Step 1: Gather Your Equipment**

Before starting, ensure you have the following:

- A Blu-ray DVD player

- An HDMI cable (make sure it’s long enough to connect the devices)

- Power cable for the Blu-ray player

- Remote control for the Blu-ray player

**Step 2: Locate the HDMI Ports**

1. **On the Blu-ray DVD Player**: Find the HDMI output port. It is usually labeled "HDMI OUT" and is located on the back of the device.

2. **On the Panel**: Locate the HDMI input port. The HDMI port is located on the wall.

**Step 3: Connect the HDMI Cable**

1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable into the **HDMI OUT** port on the Blu-ray DVD player.

2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the wall box.

3. Ensure the cable is securely connected to both devices.

**Step 4: Select the Correct HDMI Input on the Panel**

1. Select the Blue button on the screen that says “Screen Share”

2. If the “Screen Share” button is not lit up then check to see if the DVD player is powered on.

**Step 5: Test the Connection**

1. Insert a Blu-ray disc or DVD into the Blu-ray player.

2. Check the Panel screen to ensure the Blu-ray player’s video and audio are being displayed correctly.

3. If the screen remains blank, double-check the HDMI connections and ensure that the DVD player is powered on.

**Step 6: Enjoy Your Content**

Once the connection is successful you’re ready to enjoy your Blu-ray or DVD content on the panel!

**Troubleshooting Tips**

- **No Signal**: Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected and the correct input source is selected.

- **No Audio**: Check the audio settings on both the Blu-ray player and the panel.

- **Poor Video Quality**: Verify that the Blu-ray player is set to output the highest resolution supported by the panel (e.g., 1080p or 4K).
