You now have one of the most powerful media centers available on the market today. And the best part (as you already may know) is it’s fully configured in order to provide you with the best in streaming entertainment – including movies, tv and sports as well as access to your own “local” content.

What’s in the box?

  • If you connected a USB mouse or keyboard, you can now remove it/them.

Please Notice:

• Your box can be turned off using the wireless keyboard (or a smartphone app) but to start your Mini Media Center Box you have to disconnect and reconnect the power plug. It is only way to start Raspberry Pi based boxes.
• Your TV should be powered on first and then your Mini Media Center Box.

Troubleshooting:

• If the box starts and you do not see any picture on your TV, first please check it with a different HDMI Cable, if that does not help that can mean your TV resolution is not supported so to fix it please connect the Box to different TV and from Kodi home screen go to SYSTEM > System > Video output > Resolution. Set a different resolution and then check the Box again on first TV.
