Before installing your digital terrestrial receiver it is important that you read and
understand the instructions completely.

To ensure that you are covered to receive Freeview coverage please text
your postcode to 83331 (standard network charges apply)
or visit : www.freeview.co.uk

Remember that contact with 230V AC mains can be lethal or can cause severe
electric shock. To avoid this risk :

• Never attempt to repair your receiver. Please contact your retailer.

• Make sure all electrical connections are properly made.

• Do not place your receiver close to sources of heat, such as heater
or direct sunlight.

• Do not put anything near your receiver which might drip or spill onto it.

• Never place the product near objects filled with water.

• Do not use a liquid form to clean your receiver or remote. A dry cloth
will be sufficient.

If you come across a word that you do not understand, please refer to the
Glossary at the end of this manual (p.21).

Your receiver only has one tuner, meaning that you cannot record a channel
other than the one you are watching.

The remote requires two AAA 1.5V batteries. Ensure they are placed correctly.
Please do not dispose of used batteries in your domestic bins. You should
bring them back to your point of sale and place them in the right container

.

1 - Installation

A - Simplified installation

As the receiver is not yet plugged into the main source, connect the antenna
directly to the ANT input of the receiver. Plug the remote «Eye» (4) into the IR

input of the Digi-Scart, and stick this eye on your TV so that there is a direct
sight between the eye and the remote controller. Plug the Digi-Scart into your
TV. Thanks to its unique swivel hinge, your Digi-Scart is designed fit the scart
input of any TV. However, if you encounter a problem because of too narrow
access, please use the scart extender (6) provided. Insert the batteries in the
remote. Switch on the TV.

A green indicator appears on the
remote «Eye». The “First Time

Installation” window appears
on TV. If this is not the case,
you should double-check the
scart connections and/or force
the A/V or EXT mode of your
TV (refer to the TV manual). If
you have a normal 4:3 TV, just
press OK to launch the automatic
channel installation. If you have
a widescreen 16:9 TV, press the
arrow and then OK.

The automatic channels search
will start. At the end, the first
channel will appear, meaning the
standard installation is done

.

If the search has not found
all channels (or none), this
probably means that you need to
better the installation (see next
paragraph). If no channels are
found after you have done so, this
probably means that you area
is not covered by Freeview.

By connecting the TV and the receiver, you will keep the analogue

B - Wedging / adjusting the aerial

If no channels have been found through your current antenna, it means
that it probably is pointing towards an non-digital only transmitter. If your area
is covered by digital, it means that the programs are coming from another
transmitter. You will hence have to adjust the antenna. There are two possible
options, as follows :

Option 1

You know at least one network number (between 21 and 69) used
in your area.

• MENU / Settings / Installation /
Manual Search.

• Enter the 2 digit of the UHF channel
number.

• Wait for a few seconds and monitor
the Level graph.

• Swivel the antenna to maximise
reception. When you get near the
emitter, the Signal Level should
increase, and then the Quality
should be good our very good.

If the Level does not increase, this means that you have chosen an incorrect

network number, or that the emission is too far from your antenna.

• Once you have reached the maximum Level / Quality, screw the antenna
tightly.

• Press EXIT.

• Go to MENU / Settings / Installation / Automatic Search.
