Important Information

Wiring the plug (UK and Eire only)

The mains lead on this product is already fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug
incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of
the same rating, marked thus:

If the fuse cover is detachable always refit the cover after replacing the fuse. NEVER
use the plug with the fuse cover omitted. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets it should be cut off, after having first removed the fuse, and an appropriate plug
fitted in its place. If this new plug contains a fuse its value should be the same as that
removed from the non-rewireable plug.

The severed plug must be destroyed immediately to avoid the possible shock hazard
should be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

If you need to replace the mains plug then follow the instruction given below:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE - Neutral (N); BROWN - Live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the ter­minals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N
or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED. On no account either
of these wires to the terminal marked E or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the
sheath of the lead; not simply over the two wires.

If in doubt, consult a competent electrician.

We reserve the right to change specifications.

Please be aware that new software can change

the functionality of the Box.

For your safety

• Keep a clear space around
the Mediamaster to allow
for sufficient ventilation.

that emits heat.

• Use a soft cloth and a mild so­lution of washing-up liquid to
clean the casing.

The sky is the limit with your Mediamaster. It‘s easy to use, always at your command and adaptable
for future advances.

To begin with, you will find it necessary to read these instructions but you will soon find yourself com­petent without them.

SCART cable

The box for your Mediamaster should contain the
following items:

• the Mediamaster

• a remote control handset with batteries.

• a fully featured SCART cable for connection to the TV set.

• Owner’s Manual.

Installation

About the SCART sockets

• On the back side the Mediamaster is equipped with 3 SCART
sockets (see figure). When you connect external sets to any
of theese sockets, always use fully featured SCART cables.
There are “slimmed” (=cheap) SCART cables on the market,
but it is not sure that e. g. your videorecorder will work OK with
some of these cables.

• SCART cables are also necessary to get stereo sound from a
stereo TV and video recorder.

TEXT

As most local cable networks are distributing TV programmes
from both digital and analogue sources, the signals from the
wall outlet will be of two different kind:

1) Digital signal information to be handled by the Mediamaster.
These signals are sent to the TV through the SCART cable.

2) Analogue signals which are bypassed to the TV through a
RF cable.

Due to that you must connect the Mediamaster to the TV set
as described below.

• Connect the SCART cable between the TV SCART socket on
the back of the Mediamaster and the SCART input socket on
your TV.

• Connect the RF cable between the TV/VCR connection on the
Mediamaster and the ordinary areial socket on the TV set.

• You also must have another RF cable between the ANTENNA
input on the Mediamaster and the network socket.

Refer to your video recorder manual for full instructions.

• Connect one SCART cable between the TV and the
TV SCART socket on the Mediamaster.

• Connect another SCART cable between the video
recorder and the VCR SCART socket on the
Mediamaster.

• A RF cable has to be connected between the
TV/VCR output on the Mediamaster and its corresponding
input on the Video recorder.

• Finally, connect another RF cable from the RF output on the
video recorder to the TV aerial input on the TV.

Connecting to an analogue satellite receiver and a video recorder

• Connect one SCART cable between the TV and the TV SCART
socket on the Mediamaster.

• Connect one SCART cable between the TV SCART socket
on the analogue satellite receiver and the AUX
SCART socket on the Mediamaster.

• Connect one SCART cable between the video
recorder and the VCR SCART socket on the
Mediamaster.

• Connect a RF cable from the RF output on the video recorder
to the TV aerial input on the TV.
