How to Set Up Cyclone MKV

The Cyclone brings digital media from the computer screen to the television.

The Cyclone MKV from electronics company Sumvision is a network media player adapter. This device allows users to view digital media files – such as H.264, MKV, DivX HD, MPEG 2-TS, RMVB and WMV9 files – in full 1080p resolution on high-definition displays. After a simple setup process, the Cyclone can play HD media from a storage device or stream it from a computer. Users have a few options for Cyclone setup.

Things You'll Need

• Composite or HDMI cable
• Television with composite or HDMI input

Instructions

1. Plug the tip of the power adapter included with the Cyclone MKV into the Cyclone's power port, the small circular input located on the back of the unit. Plug the other end of the power adapter into an electric wall socket. The Cyclone's standby LED light illuminates.

2. Connect the composite cable jack into the 3.5 mm port on the back of the Cyclone, if you choose to connect the unit with this type of cable. Plug the red, yellow and white ends of the composite cable into the correspondingly colored input ports on your television.

3. Connect the corresponding end of an HDMI cable into the HDMI output interface on the back of the Cyclone, if connecting the device via HDMI. Plug the other end of the cable into your television's HDMI input port.

4. Turn your television on and select the AV channel corresponding to input you used to hook up the Cyclone MKV. Power up the Cyclone with the included remote to start using the device.

Tips & Warnings

• Connecting your Cyclone with a composite cable does not take advantage of its HD capabilities, even when connecting to an HDTV. Use an HDMI cable to display Cyclone content in 570p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p resolutions. The Cyclone includes a composite cable, but HDMI cables are sold separately.
