Page 4 of 35

You can use any type of the connections listed above to connect your box to the TV, and the really
interesting part is that you can use the Composite & HDMI connection at the same time which makes
you connect the receiver to 2 different TVs using 2 different types of cables

.

Another Option you can use the component & HDMI connection at the same or the S-Video & HDMI
Connections at the same time.

By having all these different connection types, it can connect to all kinds of TVs, videos, etc..

The Receiver provides an output of 1080i & 1080P24 & 1080P30 high resolutions for HDMI, and 720P
for near HD Quality Resolutions, as well as 640i & 480i which can be set for the HDMI output.

Note: setting Any of the high resolution output won’t affect the resolution of the S-Video, Composite
output, this will always be di

splayed as 640i, which can be used if for some reason you set up an
unsupported output for the TV, and the screen goes blank. Refer to the troubleshooting section for more
information.

3– Connections/Wiring Diagram:

Below is a screenshot for the Receiver front & Back display.

Back View Front View

A Closer View for the back panel of the receiver: The connection on the left corner is used to connect to
an external infrared remote control extender if needed.

A Closer View for the Front panel of the receiver:

To know the status of the receiver, check the power/ (on-off-standby) indicator as shown in the
screenshot below:

If the On/off/Standby indicator is red, this means that the receiver is not active.

If the receiver stands on one channel for more than 4 hours, the receiver goes into standby mode.
During stand-by mode, the TV screen goes black but the on/off/standby indicator is still green, this
means that the receiver is in stand

-by mode. If that indicator is red, this means that the receiver is off,
and needs to be turned on by pressing the red button on the remote control to bring the receiver back­on, or turning off then on the switch from the back, this will reboot the receiver and goes into active
again

displaying channel “1” from the “Channels” menu.

Note: When the receiver is switched off and if turned on again, by default the channel goes back to “1”,
so you need to press the “OK” button and scroll to the channel you want, because it does not memorize
the last channel viewed when the receiver is swit

ched off. This will be changed in the up-coming

firmware.

A Simple wiring diagram to connect your receiver with the TV is shown below:

4– Setup Menu Setting:

Page 8 of 35

The Setup menu can be accessed by pressing the “Setup” button on your remote to access some

advanced settings for the receiver. To move through each item, use the up/down arrow keys, to
adjust the value, using the left/right arrow keys located around the “OK” button.

1- Saturation: If you realize that the picture is not clear or saturated enough, you can adjust

that

setting; a preview will apply immediately in background. Once you confirm you are
satisfied with the new setting, press the “OK” button to save the setting, otherwise, the
previous setting will be reverted back to the previous settin

g.

2- Contrast: If you think that the picture has too much contrast or too low contrast, use that

option to adjust it accordingly.

- Hue: This will be used to adjust the level of color of the picture, if you find that the picture
does not show full color on the TV.

4

- Brightness: Adjusting the brightness of the screen

5- HD Output: This setting can only be adjusted if you are using HDMI or Component Cables.

On S-Video/Composite output this does not affect the resolution or any adjustment on the
video. If you were using HDMI and you set it to a resolution that is not supported by your
TV, you can use one of the above 2 connections to change the setting back and then
reconnect the HDMI or component cables again.

- SD Output: This can be used to adjust the color format, in USA, this setting should always

be NTSC, in other Europe/Middle East countries this needs to be set to PAL to be able to
see the picture.

(coaxial or optical),

then you can permanently set it to ON without having
the system detect it, otherwise you can either set it to Auto or OFF mode to
permanently disable digital audio out.

10- Advanced: This will actually show you some settings for the receiver
like receiver Serial Number, MAC Address, Network IP Address, Subnet

settings are correct and to find out if the receiver is connected properly to
the internet. To access this menu, simply select this option and press the
