5. Go to the Admin tab and select Setup. 

6. In Player Settings, fill out Setup Name, Player Name, and Player Description, as shown below. Set the Idle Screen Color to something other than black, so that you can see if the player is outputting a video signal. For more details about each parameter, visit this page.
