Inext TV5 is a media player is created for the comfortable video-, photo- and audio content watching. It has a rich functionality and wide abilities for connection. Inext TV5 allows you to enjoy fast speed and save a lot of applications and content.

First power on

Connect the power cable, which is included in the set, to the DC connector. Connect the set-top box and TV with the supplied HDMI cable. Select the HDMI video input on your TV remote control. For ease of use, you can connect a regular computer mouse. Left click - select menu, right - back.


The red indicator on the set-top box means that it is in standby mode. To turn it on, you need to press the red button on the remote control from the set-top box (in the upper left corner).

Initial settings

This is how the “desktop” looks when you first turn it on.


System language

When you turn it on for the first time, the setup wizard opens. Before setting up the set-top box for further use, select the system language in the corresponding item.


Wi-Fi setup

To connect to the Internet, select "Settings" (gear on top), "Network and Internet".


Switch the Wi-Fi slider to the appropriate position, select the Wi-Fi network of your router.


Enter the password and click "Next".


Cable setup

If it is possible to connect to the Internet with a cable instead of a Wi-Fi network, it is better to do this for a more stable connection, especially if there is interference between the router and the TV that significantly weakens the Wi-Fi connection (for example, load-bearing reinforced concrete walls or mirror surfaces). In this case, the Wi-Fi slider must be turned off and connected to the router with any twisted pair patch cord (note that the patch cord is not included).

Date and time

After connecting to the Internet, you should make sure that the time is set correctly on the device. This is necessary for all applications to work correctly. To do this, select “Device settings”, “Date and time” and select “Use network time”.


Google account

In order for the set-top box to work as a full-fledged Android, you need to sign in to your Google account. To do this, select "Accounts and login" in the settings.


Select "Google" and enter your personal account information.



Maxnet WebTV Setup

Open the Google Play App Store.


In the search, enter "Maxnet".


Open after download and installation.


We accept the terms of the user agreement and select the operation mode of WebTV.



Note! If you do not have a complex tariff “Internet + WebTV”, then during the service connection, the service cost is deducted from your personal account immediately after confirmation. Make sure through your personal account that you have enough funds!


In the application, you can call up the menu by pressing the option button on the remote control to the left of “ok” or by selecting the corresponding item in the upper right corner of the screen with the mouse.


You can turn off the display of channels from additional TV packages. You can connect additional packages through your personal account.


Other settings

You can add any installed application to the main screen (for example, Maxnet WebTV). To do this, simply click on the “plus” at the end of the list.


Setting up the remote control

The inext set-top boxes are equipped with a remote control (R/C) with teachable buttons — 5 buttons circled by a white line “TV CONTROL”. Any button located inside the “TV CONTROL” section, including the white “POWER” button, can be programmed. The buttons can be re-programmed repeatedly.

All other buttons on the remote control are for controlling the set-top box.


How to programme the remote control inext:

  1. To enter the remote control programming mode, press the white “POWER” button in the “TV CONTROL” section. Then press the white “POWER” button and it will start flashing rapidly. Keep it pressed until it stops flashing.
  2. Select one of the teachable buttons on the remote control to which you want to record a command. Press it once and release it. The flashing light on the button indicates that the remote is ready to receive the IR signal for recording.
  3. Point the IR diodes of the two remote controls (from the TV and from the inext set-top box) at a distance of about 1-2 cm. Then press once on the TV remote control the desired button, the function of which you want to transfer. If the command has been accepted, the indicator will blink three times and light up continuously — this means that the command has been recorded.
  4. You can continue recording commands to other buttons by following steps 2-3 of these instructions.
  5. If you have recorded all the commands and want to exit the programming mode, press any button located behind the “TV CONTROL” section. Or wait 10 seconds until the remote control exits the programming mode by itself.

Controlling the set-top box via app

Instead of a remote control, inext set-top boxes can be controlled via the inext remote control app on an Android or iOS smartphone.


After downloading the application, open it, select the model of the set-top box and specify the password that will appear on the screen for pairing. Please note that the phone and the set-top box must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

The voice control function is also available. To enable it, you need to go to “Settings” — “Device settings” — “inext remote control” — “Allow smartphone control”.
