1.2 Basic Definitions
If you are new to Digital Television Broadcasts there are a few terms you
may find useful:
High Definition (HDTV). A picture on the TV screen is formed by a
large number of small dots called pixels. The higher the number of pixels,
the better the picture quality will be. The pictures of conventional
analogue TV broadcasting provide a maximum of 720 (horizontal) x 576
(vertical) pixels. Typically HDTV broadcasts contain at least 1024
horizontal pixels and 720 vertical pixels, providing superior picture
quality over analogue TV broadcasts. The HDMI and Component video
outputs of Magic TV™ are capable of carrying an HDTV signal.
Standard Definition (SDTV). A picture with only 576 or 480 vertical
pixels is referred to as Standard Definition. The S-Video and Composite
video outputs of Magic TV™ are Standard Definition only.
Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT). Digital TV is a far more efficient
and flexible transmission system than the current analogue system. It
allows broadcasters (TVB and ATV) to offer viewers a range of new and
different services – all through your existing aerial/antenna.
The potential benefits include:
• 'Ghost free' reception
• Widescreen 16:9 pictures
• Standard Definition television (SDTV) and HDTV programmes
• High quality audio and surround sound
• Multi-channel programming
• Closed captioning of programmes for the hearing impaired
• Electronic Programme Guides (EPGs)
• On-screen programme guide channel with today's programme
information
• Multi-camera views and enhancements during selected programmes
Interactive Services. Digital TV has the potential to include interactive
programmes, alternative camera angles, selected Internet services, home
shopping, computer games and more. Some services may require an
Internet connection (see section 9.1). When available, you can access
these features by pressing and following the on-screen
instructions.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). HDMI is an
uncompressed, all-digital video and audio connection for electronic
devices that is capable of transmitting High Definition signals. These
signals are usually encrypted using HDCP to prevent unauthorized
duplication of copyrighted material. HDMI is the highest quality video
output from Magic TV™.
Live TV. If you’re watching a programme while it’s being broadcast,
you’re watching Live TV. Pressing the button on your remote control
will immediately jump to Live TV from any menu.
Video Output Format. DTT broadcasts can come in a variety of shapes
and sizes. Magic TV™ can cleanly scale the broadcasts to suit your TV.
See section 8.2 for further information.
Video Input Format. MTV7000D can record from external sources in a
variety of formats up to 1080i (1920 x 1080 pixels). See section 3.6 for
further information.
Multi-channel audio. A surround sound system supporting six discrete
audio channels. These are Left, Center, Right, Rear Left, Rear Right, and
Subwoofer. DTT broadcasters may choose to broadcast some
channels/programmes in multi-channel audio. Use a digital audio
connection (optical, coaxial or HDMI) to an AV receiver in order to hear
all six channels.
Aspect Ratio. A TV’s aspect ratio is the comparison of the screen’s width
to its height. This is typically 4:3 for analogue and standard definition
broadcasts and 16:9 for HD broadcasts.

Aspect Ratio Correction. This is required when the shape of the
broadcast picture and the TV don’t match. The Aspect button on your
remote control lets you quickly change the shape of the broadcast
picture. See section 5.8 for further information.
Firmware Upgrade. From time to time Magic TV™ will receive updates
for the software that controls it. If possible these updates will occur
automatically Over-The-Air (OTA). Firmware update can also be
achieved via USB. These updates may provide features not covered in
this guide. Details of new features will be available at www.magictv.com
Support. See section 9.2.
1. 3 Magic TV™Hardware Differences

you can watch a third providing all 3 channels are broadcast on the
same UHF frequency (see table opposite)
• Dual tuners allow recording of 2 channels (USB HDD required) on 2
different UHF frequencies and you can watch a third providing it is
also broadcast on one of those same frequencies (see table opposite)
• Sigma Designs SMP8655 processor
• HDMI 1.3 output
MTV3x00 Recorders (single and dual tuner models)

Controlling Multiple Magic TV™ Units
Up to three Magic TV™ units can be used in the same room without
remote control conflicts by using Xbox 360 and Windows MCE
remote controls.
Each Magic TV™ unit needs to be told which remote to listen to in
Settings System Advanced Settings Remote Control Selection.
For example, if you wish to use two Magic TV™ units in the same room,
then each unit will have to have a different option 'Enabled' and all other
options disabled.
Most of the Xbox and MCE remote control buttons match those on the
Magic TV™ remote.
This diagram shows the less obvious corresponding buttons.

3.2 Direct Connection to a TV
Video + Audio: For HDMI equipped HDTVs
HDMI is the highest quality video output from Magic TV™. It can also carry multi-channel audio, which conveniently reduces cabling.
Simply connect the HDMI output from Magic TV™ directly to one of your TV's HDMI inputs.
Video: For HDTVs without HDMI
In order to get High Definition video from Magic TV™ without HDMI, Component (YPbPr) must be used. Simply connect the Component output
from Magic TV™ directly to one of your TV’s Component inputs. Component doesn't carry audio, so a separate connection is needed. See below.

3.1 Power and Aerial/Antenna Connections
Power + Antenna
Insert the power cord into a suitable power outlet and the 12v DC plug into Magic TV™. Leave the power outlet switched off or unplugged until all the
wiring work has been completed. Then connect Magic TV™ to your antenna using the Ant. In connector. A roof-mounted antenna is recommended for
best reception. For information on monitoring your signal quality, see section 8.6.
Optional: Antenna loopthrough
If you want to retain analogue TV reception on your television or on any other devices with a TV tuner (VCR or DVD recorder for example), connect the
included extension cable to the Loop Out connector of Magic TV™ and to the Antenna In on your other device. Many devices can form part of the
antenna loop, by chaining together the Antenna Outs to Antenna Ins on each device.
We recommend using Magic TV™ as the first component on the chain and your television as the last.

3.4 Network Connection
For iEPG, Magic TV™ Gadgets and Interactive Services
An internet connection is required to unlock the full potential of Magic TV™. The iEPG uses internet data to enhance channel browsing and recording, Magic
TV™ Gadgets can access News and Weather bulletins from popular and trusted sources (See section 7) and some features present in Interactive Services
broadcasts may require an internet connection (competition entries, voting, subscribing and purchasing, for example).
MTV7000D also uses the internet to access Now TV and Cable TV programme information for use with Magic Link (see sections 3.5 and 5.6).
You can connect either wired or wirelessly.
Wired:
You will need to have an existing Ethernet Network present in your home. Simply use a CAT-5 cable to connect the Network port of Magic TV™ to your
network router or hub. See section 9.1 for information on network setup.

Video: For receivers or HDTVs without HDMI
If your receiver or television doesn’t have HDMI, you can still get a very high quality High Definition image using Component (YPbPr). Simply connect
the YPbPr output from Magic TV™ to one of your receiver's Component or YPbPr inputs and connect one of your receiver's Component or YPbPr
outputs to one of your TV's Component or YPbPr inputs. Component doesn't carry audio, so a separate connection is needed. See below.
Audio: For receivers or HDTVs without HDMI
If your receiver doesn't have HDMI, you need to make a separate audio connection. Magic TV™ has both Coaxial and Optical digital audio outputs.
Use whichever is more convenient. Simply connect one of the Digital Audio outputs from Magic TV™ to one of your receiver's Digital Audio inputs.
