Troubleshooting

1. I cannot turn on the Flat TV Link with the remote control or the On/Off button:

- Check whether the power adapter has been connected properly and the wall socket is

working.

- If you see a red light on the On/Off/Standby button, the Flat TV Link is in standby mode.

Press the On/Off button on the front of the device or the remote control again.

2. The Flat TV Link is switched on, but there is no image:

- Make sure the Flat TV Link is connected properly and the TV is set to the A/V or

external channel. Try connecting one of the devices directly to the same connection.

- Check the connections on the back of the Flat TV Link.

3. The sound is not working:

- Check the connecting cables.

- Check the volume setting of the TV.

- Check whether the audio signal is transmitted by the cable used (S-VIDEO cables or

partially pinned Scart cables do not transmit audio).

4. The image is very grainy/there is background interference:

- Switch off equipment which is not being used. Sometimes equipment gives off a very

strong signal, which can cause interference.

- Check the quality of the cables used.

5. Replacing the battery of the remote control:
Follow the instructions on the back of the remote control and replace the battery with a
battery type CR2025 (3V). Check the polarity (+/-) when positioning the battery.

Use the table below to choose which connection cables/plugs you need to use

Using the device

1. Connect the power adapter (included) to connection (6).

2. Plug the adapter into a 230V wall socket. You will now see a red light on the Flat TV Link 4.

3. Connect your (flat screen) TV to the Out connection on the Flat TV Link (5) to correspond
with the In connector used (Scart, S-video or RCA).

Note: if you are using an S-video cable, you need to connect the audio signal to the TV
via an RCA cable, because S-video does not transmit audio signals.

4. Connect all your equipment to the In connection
(corresponding with the chosen Out connection).

5. Turn on your TV and select the A/V or external channel
(check the user manual of your TV).

6. Switch on the Flat TV Link using the On/Off/Standby button on the front (1).
You will now see a green light.

7. Use the remote control or the option buttons on the front (3) to select the In channel.
You can step through the 4 In channels by repeatedly pressing the button.

optical cable to the Optical Connection (12). First
remove the dust cover. Replace the dust cover when

Extra options

1. Wireless audio and video

You can connect a Marmitek GigaVideo to the Out
connection of the Flat TV Link to transmit the audio and
video signal wirelessly throughout the entire house. This
means you can also transmit the signal to a TV in
another room and watch the signals from every device
connected to the Flat TV Link.

The built-in infrared return channel also means you can
control the equipment and the Flat TV Link remotely,
even through walls and ceilings!

2. Audio and video via the aerial

The Marmitek MegaVideo 55 gives you the possibility to
add the Out signal of your Flat TV Link as an extra
channel to your aerial. You can watch the signal of every
device connected everywhere in the house where there is
an aerial connection. The built-in infrared return channel
also means you can control the equipment and the Flat
TV Link remotely, even through walls and ceilings!

3. No extra remote control

You can use the Marmitek Multimedia remote control or the Marmitek
EasyTouch 35 to learn the commands of your Flat TV Link remote control.
These remote controls replace all the controls you now use.

4. S-video to composite video adapter

If the Out connections of devices connected (e.g. a
laptop) do not correspond with the In connections of
your (flat screen) TV, in many cases the Marmitek S-video
to Composite Video Adapter can be used.
