Preparation

This section explains how to set up your Plaza HD•T2 to receive Freeview channels.

THE AERIAL

CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER

Place your Plaza HD•T2 receiver on a ﬁrm, level surface close to the television, a mains electricity socket, and the cable from the aerial. (See Appendix A – Safety.)

To receive Freeview, you must connect your Plaza HD•T2 receiver to an appropriate TV aerial that has been correctly installed. If your aerial is unable to provide adequate signal, it may need to be realigned. Please consult a professional.

Connect the cable from your aerial to the ANT IN socket at the back of the Plaza HD•T2. If you also want to use your television’s internal tuner, you can optionally connect a cable from the ANT OUT socket at the back of the Plaza HD•T2 to the appropriate input on your television. Please note that to conserve energy, by default this output is disabled when the Plaza HD•T2 is in standby. You can enable it in the System section of the Setup menu (please see page 30).

Ensure your television is turned off and connect the HDMI cable

HINT: If your television has no HDMI socket, then it must

be connected to the receiver by SCART or RCA cable, and you will not be able to watch Freeview channels in high deﬁnition.

supplied between the HDMI socket at the back of your Plaza HD•T2 receiver and an HDMI socket on your television. There may be more than one HDMI socket on your television. If you are not sure which to use, check the television’s manual.

Plug the power cable from the rear of the Plaza HD•T2 into an available mains socket that is turned off.

You can also connect the Plaza HD•T2 receiver to a stereo or surround sound system, so that you can listen to the TV sound through the sound system instead of (or as well as) the television’s speakers. If you connect a coaxial S/PDIF lead (not supplied) between the S/PDIF sockets on your receiver and digital sound system, you can listen to the TV sound in digital audio quality, or even in surround sound, depending on the broadcast and your sound system.

To use apps such as BBC iPlayer or YouTube, the Plaza HD•T2 must be connected to your internet router or hub using an ethernet cable (not supplied). Plug one end of the ethernet cable into the ETHERNET socket at the back of the Plaza HD•T2, and the other into your hub or router. Make sure the connections are fully pushed in - you’ll hear a click as they lock into place. Consult your router or hub’s documentation for further guidance.

If your receiver is not located near your hub or router, you could use HomePlug powerline adapters to extend your home network using the ring main of your house. Another option is to use a Wireless Ethernet Bridge to bridge the Ethernet socket of the Plaza HD•T2 to Wi-Fi, enabling it to connect wirelessly to your home network. For more information, please consult with your installer or retailer. If you require support for these devices, you will need to contact the manufacturer. The Plaza HD•T2 does not support USB Wi-Fi dongles.

SWITCHING ON

Take off the battery compartment cover from the back of the Plaza HD•T2 remote control by lifting it up while pushing the catch. Insert the two AAA batteries supplied, as shown on the inside of the compartment, and replace the compartment cover.

HINT: If you do not see this screen on your television, see

‘Troubleshooting’ on page 36.

SWITCHING ON (continued)

Turn on your TV set and choose the HDMI input (see your television’s manual for guidance).

Switch on the mains socket the Plaza HD•T2 is connected to.

After a few seconds, the receiver’s ﬁrst Freeview installation screen shown below will appear on the television screen:

Press to select the “Next” button and then press OK to display the next installation step.

that your television can display (see your television’s manual). If in doubt, set the resolution to 720p.

total number of TV, radio and data channels found. When the scan is complete, press OK to proceed to the next step.

To use the receiver’s parental guidance function, locked channels or restore to factory default, you need to create a PIN. Enter your choice of PIN by pressing the required number button 0, 1 … 9 for each of the four PIN digits, then press OK to proceed.

The setup completion screen conﬁrms the lock PIN you have set. Press the OK button and your Plaza HD•T2 receiver is now ready for you to watch Freeview digital TV.
