Blue button

Introduction

The blue button is multi-functional, allowing performing different operations depending on how long it is pressed and whether the player is powered on or powered off during that time. Depending on the player model, the timings to perform a certain operation might be different, as detailed below.

Some examples of such operations are: trigger On Screen Display (OSD), restart the HMP, shut down the HMP, reset to factory default settings, force Recovery mode.

HMP400, HMP400W

Powered on

When power is on:

• Briefly press (max 1s) and release to trigger the On-Screen Display (OSD) showing the player addresses, firmware version, DSOS license type (if any), and other player identification information.
• Double-press the button or hold it for 3 seconds to trigger a shutdown of the device.

  You should wait for 10–15 seconds for the player to completely shut down (no video signal is displayed and the PWR LED is slowly blinking red ), then you can safely unplug the power supply. To restart the player, briefly press the blue button again.

• Press and hold for 10 seconds to trigger a "hard" shutdown, which is equivalent to a power cycle - use only if shut down is unavailable.

Note:

Holding the button pressed for more than 30 seconds has no effect - this is to avoid cases when the button is pressed due to bad positioning.

Powered off

When the power supply cable is unplugged, hold the button pressed, plug in the power, then release the button when the SYS LED starts to

blink rapidly green (10-15 seconds) ⇒ reset to factory default settings

blink rapidly red (~20 seconds) ⇒ force the player into Recovery mode.

Note:

Holding the button pressed for more than 30 seconds has no effect - this is to avoid cases when the button is pressed due to bad positioning - the SYS LED should slowly blink red four times to indicate this situation, before resuming normal operation.

HMP350, HMP300, DiVA

Powered on

When power is on:

• Briefly press and release to trigger On-Screen Display (OSD) with IP, Firmware and identification information.
• Hold for 3 seconds to trigger a shutdown of the device (wait 10-15 seconds until no video signal is displayed and the PWR LED is slowly blinking red). After shutting down the player, you can safely unplug the power supply. To restart the player, briefly press the blue button again.
• Hold for 10 seconds to trigger a "hard" reboot (equivalent to a power cycle - use only if shut down is unavailable).
• Hold for more than 30 seconds ⇒ this has no effect (button ignored) for the case when the button has been held down accidentally (for instance, due to bad positioning).

Powered off

When the power supply cable is unplugged, press and hold the button, plug in the power, then release the button after:

• 10 seconds to reset to factory default settings (i.e. the button should be released after the SYS LED starts rapidly flashing green).
• 20 seconds to trigger the Recovery mode (i.e. the button should be released after the SYS LED starts rapidly flashing red).
• 30+ seconds ⇒ this has no effect (button ignored) for the case when the button has been held down accidentally (for instance, due to bad positioning); the SYS LED slowly blinks red four times to indicate this situation before resuming normal operation.

HMP200

HMP200 powered on

When power is on:

• Briefly press and release to trigger On-Screen Display (OSD) with IP, Firmware and identification information.
• Hold for 3 seconds to trigger a shutdown of the device (wait 10-15 seconds until no video signal is displayed and the PWR LED is slowly blinking red).

  After shutting down the HMP, you can safely unplug the power supply. To restart the HMP, briefly press the blue button again.

• Hold for 10 seconds to trigger a hard reboot (equivalent to a power cycle - use only if shut down is unavailable).
• Hold for more than 30 seconds ⇒ this has no effect (button ignored) for the case when the button has been held down accidentally (for instance, due to bad positioning).

HMP200 powered off

When the power supply cable is unplugged, press and hold the button, plug in the power, then release the button after:

• 15 seconds to reset to factory default settings (i.e. the button should be released 8 seconds after the SYS LED starts rapidly flashing green).
• 25 seconds to trigger the Recovery mode (i.e. the button should be released after the SYS LED starts rapidly flashing red).
• 30+ seconds ⇒ this has no effect (button ignored) for the case when the button has been held down accidentally (for instance, due to bad positioning); the SYS LED slowly blinks red four times to indicate this situation before resuming normal operation.

HMP130

HMP130 powered on

When the power is on:

• Briefly press and release to trigger On-Screen Display (OSD) with IP, firmware and identification information.
• Hold for 3 seconds to trigger a soft reboot (has the same effect as pressing the "System Restart" button in HMP Control Center).
• Hold for 10 seconds to trigger a hard reboot (it's instant and equivalent to a power cycle).
• Hold for more than 30 seconds ⇒ this has no effect (button ignored) for the case when the button has been held down accidentally (for instance, due to bad positioning).

HMP130 powered off

When power is off, press and hold the button, plug in the power, then release the button after:

• 10 seconds to reset to factory default settings (i.e. the button should be released after the LED starts rapidly flashing green).
• 20 seconds to trigger the Recovery mode (i.e. the button should be released after the LED starts rapidly flashing red).
• 25+ seconds ⇒ this has no effect (button ignored) for the case when the button has been held down accidentally (for instance, due to bad positioning); the LED slowly blinks red four times to indicate this situation before resuming normal operation.

HMP100

HMP100 powered on

When the power is on:

• Briefly press and release to trigger On-Screen Display (OSD) with IP, firmware and identification information.
• Hold for 3 seconds to trigger a soft reboot (has the same effect as pressing the "System Restart" button in HMP Control Center).
• Hold for 10 seconds to trigger a hard reboot (instant reboot - all the processes are immediately terminated).
• Hold for more than 30 seconds ⇒ this has no effect (button ignored) for the case when the button has been held down accidentally (for instance, due to bad positioning).

To boot in Recovery mode using only the blue button on the HMP100 (the power must be on all the time):

1. Press the button for 10 seconds and then release it. This will force the HMP100 to reboot.
2. Wait for the HMP100 to restart (approximately 2 minutes).
3. Repeat step #1 and #2 until the HMP100 boots in Recovery mode. (Normally 3 or 4 times depending on the firmware version)

HMP100 powered off

When power is off, press and hold down the button, plug in the power and after 10 seconds release the button ⇒ Reset to factory default settings.
