You can retrieve the User Name and Password of your Vulkano from PlayerSettings.xml File of your Old Laptop.
You may follow these Steps:

For Windows XP
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\User Account\Local Settings\Application Data\Monsoon Multimedia\Vulkano\PlayerSettings.xml

For Vista & Win7
Go to C:\Users\<Your Account>\AppData\Local\Monsoon Multimedia\Vulkano\PlayerSettings.xml

You have to connect any Video Source to Vulkano, e.g; Cable box, Satellite receiver etc. Yes, you can use a video pass-through from Vulkano to connect the video out to TV, but if the video source has more than One Video Output you can use one with Vulkano and another directly to the TV.


If you do not have enough wireless interference in your home network there is no need to use the Ethernet cable between the router and Vulkano. It will work in wireless mode the same way as connected hardwired to the router.

 In order to Reset Vulkano kindly follow these steps.

  • Plug in the Power to Vulkano.
  • Wait for 1 Minute.
  • Press and Hold the Reset Button on the back panel of Vulkano for 10 Seconds or until the LED on the Top Panel of Vulkano Turns RED.
  • Release the button and let Vulkano boot. It will take around a minute. (During the reboot process Status of LED will be RED , Blinking Green then Off, Until it gets an IP Address, Once it will get an IP Address the LED will turn Green).

Now Vulkano is in Factory Reset Mode and you can Reconfigure it for Local and Remote viewing.

Both VULKANO and Client sides should be able to send and receive from remote UDP 56123, TCP 56123 & TCP 49177 ports - if this is needed for firewall configuration; with the exact destination addresses. If this is impossible due to corporative firewall policy, there is no way to connect VULKANO remotely, as all the connectivity is being achieved via the P2P servers on these ports.

If you have a firewall on client or VULKANO sides, the firewall should open UDP activity on both directions to and from remote and local for the above mentioned ports.

Kindly note regarding these ports: If Vulkano or Client stays behind a NAT, these ports should be mapped on the NAT, otherwise firewall doesn't allow traffic on required ports even if they are opened (if it sees external port as another than these ports).

Conclusion If a client is behind NAT and firewall, then the complete client configuration needed is: firewall to open UDP 56123, TCP 56123 & TCP 49177 ports for incoming and outgoing traffic, NAT to forward UDP 56123, TCP 56123 & TCP 49177 ports to the PC's UDP 56123, TCP 56123 & TCP 49177 ports. This should work.

Update the firmware. To do that, please check the brand and model of your recorder and go to the manufacturer website. You will also find some firmware on this site: http://www.firmware.fr.st/

  • Check connections.
  • Avoid vibrations on your recorder.
  • Avoid overheating your recorder
  • Do not run other applications while burning.
  • Disable antivirus while burning
  • Check that you have the latest version of the software

CD-R 90min are not like standard CD-R: capacity reported by Windows is not correct.
To be able to use the full capacity of these CD-R, you need a recorder that allows
the "overburning" and set the burning software to maximize the size of the CD (see procedure for your burning software).

Yes, because the CD-R are downward compatible. In this case, the recorder will adjust writing speed.

It can happen that several errors occur during burning process (low data transfer, reading error,..) without cancelling recording.

You can find the firmware on the website of the manufacturer. Check your recorder brand and model.
You'll also find some firmware on this site: http://www.firmware.fr.st

It depends on the capabilities of your recorder. Unless you have a multi-format recorder, some drives only record on DVD-R and others on DVD + R (Check  the device specifications)

There are two main reasons:

  • The DVD Video size is exceeding the recordable DVD capacity
  • The DVD video source is copy protected.

Check that the format of your blank DVD is compatible with your recorder (-/+ R/RW).
It may be also a disc/drive incompatibility, in that case, a fimrware update can solve the problem (Check on the manufacturer web site).

Check that your model supports DVD-RW.
In some cases, a firmware update may fix the issue.

Before use, it’s necessary to charge the battery of Photo Cube.
While in “device” position, the “ON/OFF” button is disactivated, but once connected to PC, it turns on automatically.

Your Photo Cube needs to be in the “device” position to communicate with your PC.

Some manufacturers have limited their camera compatibility and restrict the USB interface with their brand only. It’s normal your Photo Cube cannot communicate with this type of camera/manufacturer.
The recommended solution to transfer your photos from the memory cards to the Photo Cube is by using a card reader.
