Optical Audio Output

The rear-panel Optical Audio output port on the rear panel accepts a TOSLINK optical cable for 

connecting digital audio to a receiver or amplifier. 

USB Ports

Two rear-panel USB ports accept a USB cable for connecting external USB devices. 

IR Input/Output Ports

The IR Input/Output ports are to be used for non-hospitality TVs which do not have an MPI port. These 

ports allow the STB-4000 to communicate with non-hospitality TVs using IR commands and the TV’s builtin IR receiver.

The rear-panel IR Input port accepts an IR Receiver cable for receiving IR from a Remote Control when 

the STB-4000 is not placed in line of sight of the remote. The IR output port accepts an IR Transmitter 

cable for TVs which do not have MPI ports. The IR Transmitter is located close to the IR Receiver on the 

TV so that the STB-4000 can transmit IR commands directly to the TV via IR. 

MPI Port

The rear-panel MPI port accepts a cable for connecting to a room TV’s serial MPI control port.

HDMI Output for Streaming TV

The right-side rear-panel HDMI port accepts an HDMI cable for connecting audio and video to a TV 

HDMI input. This port is dedicated to streaming video/audio using an internally mounted device such as 

Chromecast.

Care and Maintenance

Taking simple precautions and observing guidelines for care and maintenance will help ensure that the 

STB-4000 remains in good operating condition. 

Protection from Impact

Make sure to place the unit in an area where there is little chance of direct impacts from objects.

Cleaning

The surfaces of the cabinet and the front-panel should be cleaned periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to 

remove fingerprints, oils, and dirt.

Troubleshooting Chart

The STB-4000 Set-Top Box is designed to provide years of trouble-free service. However, if problems 

arise with the unit’s hardware or software, you can use this troubleshooting chart to help isolate the cause 

of the trouble and in many cases correct it.

minutes for the unit to complete its boot process.

• If the problem persists, replace the unit or contact support.

The unit is ON but not 

communicating with 

the network (does not 

respond to commands).

• Make sure the LAN cable plug is inserted all the way into the Ethernet 

port on the rear panel. Make sure the other end of the LAN cable is 

plugged all the way into the network port on the wall.
